Server Name: UK 707

UK 707 is home to Fort Haven, a friendly trading outpost that specialises in trading high end gear. Our server is hosted on the ViLayer private hive. We're trying to establish a community around our server and welcome all kinds of players. Whether you're a bandit group looking to take on an organised group or a group of survivors just looking to survive this mad new world you're welcome and will be guaranteed an active server to call your home.

So, why play on our server? Well, as stated above we're connected to the ViLayer private hive which means that whilst you can't carry your equipment from our server to servers connected to the public hive you will be able to jump to other servers on the ViLayer private hive. Furthermore we are able to police our server more effectively, enabling us to ban hackers and scripters permanently to provide a fair, fun playing experience on our server. Duping has been eliminated meaning items actually have true value now (hence how we are able to operate as a trading outpost). Whilst the server hardware is located in the EU the time zone has been set to UTC-6 to provide plenty of daytime gameplay for people who're in the U.K/EU as well as those who are in the U.S. The max ping is also set to 250 to allow people from the U.S to play on our server.

Unlike many server admins out there we actually care about our communities playing experience, if you come to our server we want you to have fun and if you don't then we'd like to hear why so that we can work towards changing that which is why we have a section on our forums specifically for server discussion, this area is public so that players from our server can post on there and discuss things. You can make suggestions, post complaints and feedback or simply pop by just to have a chat and the best thing is that we care.

Our rules are simple - No hacking, scripting, exploiting, griefing or cheating, it won't be tolerated on our server and you will receive a permaban for your troubles. Other than that all we ask is that you respect other players on the server. We do welcome bandits but we don't want players who come on to our server just to grief others and trash talk whilst doing so. We're trying to build a community around our server and we hope the players who play on it. The server is restarted manually and a global message will be sent by the admin 30, 15 and 5 minutes prior to restart to give players plenty of chance to get somewhere safe and finish what they are doing.

Fort Haven currently possesses just 7 vehicles. To operate effectively as a trading outpost we do need some vehicles to cover logistics and recon but we've only taken vehicles that actually worth to us such as the Ural due to its large inventory space. We have had the vehicles in our possession stolen several times already and unlike some non-pvp focused teams out there we don't bitch or complain when things don't go our way. Once again we do welcome all forms of gameplay so long as you adhere to the above rules. You won't be kicked or banned for killing an admin or stealing off an admin. We do our best offer a fair playing environment for everyone. As we're on the ViLayer private hive we can also switch the map at will and whilst most of the time we'll be playing on Chernarus we will have special events where we will switch to other maps.

Finally, Fort Haven is a non-shoot on sight team so if you're approached by our members whilst playing on our server you will not be fired upon unless you act in an aggressive manner you can rest assured of that. Friendlies who wish to conduct trade with us or just to go about their business unhindered will be able to do so but again, we do welcome bandits on our server also so we can't guarantee anyone's safety from threats outside of our group.

We hope to see some regular players on our server, right now we do see random players jumping on but the population is much lower than it would be were we connected to the public hive still and this is one of the biggest drawbacks of private hive. Hopefully upon posting this thread we'll see an increase in our population and some of you will come to call our server your home.
