I run one of the larger Game Server Provider companies, and over the past few months, we have had numerous requests to add the ARMA/ARMAII series to our list of available rentals. I had stayed away from this game since all the information I read regarding it was that the server consumed an entire CPU core just to run, and just sounded like an utter nightmare. Not to mention the game had to be purchased to access the server files, so this killed it.
After reading the Wiki, I found that the new Free version supports both Free and ARMA2 players on the servers. As this is the case, I am currently setting up ARMA2 Free as an available product, and will also be advertising a bit to get some interest going with our customers.
My question though is, I see it says that addons/mods are restricted. I am assuming this just means for the Client version correct? Are the server files unrestricted, or do they suffer from the same limitations as the client?
