I (as an ex regular on Altis life) say bring on Malden! everyone has the DLC for it. It is similar to Altis with wild terrain like desserts and abandon basses (not to mention a couple of islands close to the mainland and big hills!). From my point of view having played Arma 3 since 2015 i agree with most of the 1st page post's, pretty well all of the active/current players on Arma have been around for a good enough time to have been there done that with life servers, AL absolutely needs to be radically different and my tips would be get feature rich and easy to grasp. I personally avoid Darksiders beacuse it's ui and map is too cluded, yucky and overall a mess, there also is too much to read. I hope i have regurgitated what has already been said over a number of post's for i just went through the first page and thought a good chance to share my thought.
