i feel new and fresh players would join an arma 3 server rather than arma 2. my friend started a community for exile mod not very long ago (2 month approx), the amount of new survivors joining everyday is noticeable at the best. it however took a few weeks to gain popularity, all the server owner did was keeping the server alive and not abandoning it. i suggest arma 3 for an addition.

arma 2 is good and dayz is the best over there. but for the long run, it might not be the best option.

Haha...wow we seems to be many Arma 3 players which want the server back =) Thats awesome!

Id still prefer DayZ on Arma 2

If you are thinking about the long run then Arma III would be the way forward.  Best bet is to await Teddy to reply since he handles server hardware and see what the best course of action is.  Better off hosting one on the Argonath servers than someone externally doing it this way it's "officially" part of the community but hey if people were to chip in and buy one I don't think it would be a problem.  Webmasters could probably hook up a sub-domain and get a small forum running for it if this ever developed into something.

Arma 2 was good for some time but it was really a phase, it died off after some time and multiple problems without an end. ARMA 3 however may be something interesting to look into.

You're right.

I stopped playing after we moved from DayZ Overwatch to Epoch.

I up for whatever you choose (II or III), I can help pay for the server aswell as long as we get a steady server.

The III Exile mod is available on Taviana map aswell and it looks pretty good.
For those who don't know what the Exile mod is, it's like Epoch/Overpoch for Arma II with basebuilding and stuff.

The thing i like about OverPoch is that i got used to it playing on our server. So ye, i'm down for AII OverPoch Taviana

also exile is strictly pvp, there are no zombies. however a number of AI missions can be added

The issue was we couldn't get anyone with the skills, time, and motivation to keep the server running optimally. Additionally, we couldn't get get the majority to agree on what was a best course of action. I agree with Axis and love Overpoch, but unfortunately agree that it required skill that nobody had in order to setup, configure, and maintain.

In terms of server hardware, we do have the capacity to deploy another server and I could easily setup a VM to support either a DayZ server or ArmA 3. The thing is we'd need to decide now on which course is best. Another option people have backed in the past was re-launching rust, only this time under proper management.

So what do we need?

1. To decide on if we want DayZ mod (via ArmA 2), something like Wasteland (not recommended), ArmA 3 (RP?) or ArmA 3 mission style. Additionally, we could also support Rust(y) again. This would need to be a majority as we don't have the resource availability to run more than one.

(if ArmA-based)
2. A development/maintainer person with the skill, availability, and motivation to setup the game server, configure the game server, customize the game server, and continue to maintain the game server. Do note: skill does not mean the ability to watch a YouTube video, but rather, actual experience.
