It looks like we hit a snag in terms of getting our weekly arma games going, we have the modpack all set up and ready to go, and I had a general plan to ease everyone back into Arma and get people familiar with AGM, the problem is that we don't have a server to play on!

Thanks to the recent changeover to steamworks, local hosting no longer works for either me nor mechfruit, and additionally Arma 3 server rental prices have skyrocketed since we last hosted, with the cheapest price being around 21$ a month.

So basically we're at an impass, just comment on this announcement and vote for one of two possbile options (or perhaps suggest a third)

A.) We host locally using Tunngle or Hamachi to connect to eachother.
(This is free and fairly easy to do, but our local servers probably wouldn't be able to handle large missions or player counts larger than 5-6 people)

B.) We bite the bullet and try to get funding together for a rented Arma 3 server.
(An expensive but ultimately much better option, we can host any kind of mission we want and don't have to worry too much about server preformance, however were going to need people to pitch in if we want to keep it up)

Additionally, whatever option we choose im going to TRY and get a game going tomorrow at Sunday, so please get the modpack squared away before you join! (You can find the modpack details on the TS in the datacore description, there are two parts, a manual download and a steam collection, make sure to get them both!)
