Great idea! what have we been thinking all this time?;)

Donating to the server in any fashion DOES NOT make you immune to the rules. Further, if use that donation to influence your standing within the community, you will be promptly removed from the ability to do so. 


 
 
Don't be this guy @Michael Gambetti

I've been waiting for you

Can you add a repair all option to vehicle garage that way I can fill gas/repair damage to all my vehicles without having to do one car at a time. TY

House Tax To minimize players holding onto houses without actually using them, we will be implementing a new tax system for houses. This system is intended to hold individuals more accountable that only log in to maintain possession of their houses, while having as minimal impact as possible on our active players. If you are finding it difficult to maintain your houses, it is recommended that you decrease the number of houses you own. Houses will still be removed after 30 Days of 0 activity regardless of tax payment (Unchanged) House Tax Scheme: After 10 days since your last house tax payment: You are able to pay the house tax. You can view and pay house tax using your phone -> Housing app. Day 31: House becomes overdue, you cannot use doors and inventory. Day 33: An extra 20% is charged per house. Day 35: House is put back on market. House Tax Prices The upkeep price of the house depends on: Playtime: Every 10 minutes, you get 10 minutes added to all of your owned houses at that time. The more you play the less you pay House type (1C, 2C, 3C, Garage, Shop, Shed). Total houses owned. Overdue or not Base upkeep cost (Per IRL Month, Per Building) Shed: $45,600 150k: $20,250 120k: $15,000 70k: $9,000 40k / Garage: $8,250 Playtime Discount/Penalty modifier chart: Visible Cartel Payouts Cartel payouts are now shown in one place on your gang bank statements. Money is added after the cartel changes ownership or before server restart.  Rebel Weapon Shop Car-95 Hex & Green Hex Variants Car-95GL + Variants AFD Equipment Nitro to shop Flare gun for Paramedic+ New Billboard Texture APD Federal Event notification.

@Mitch (IFRIT) Farm & RV Modification Centre After retiring from owner of Asylum, Mitch purchased a piece of land where he spends his days working tirelessly from sunrise to sunset. However, the soil on his property is in poor condition and doesn't yield many crops. As a result, he decided to pursue a more lucrative business by selling used tractors and modifying old RVs to cook and sell crank and moonshine. This conveniently located farm is close to the new Highway HQ allowing stranded citizens to get a new ride when those APD officers won't lend you a quad to get home.  Moved Sofia RV shop Small changes to Jewelry Emporium van locations to make them more defendable by civs. Gang Boat can be used after 10 minutes of winning it. Bounty Hunter Arrest cap $175,000 -> $250,000 Qilin (Armed) price $85,000 -> $90,000 Crafting Added Car-98 Car-98 Mags Rahim Mags Ak-12 Lush & Arid Variants Changed Cash to craft frit $90,000 -> $80,000 Rahim unprocessed cocaine 13 -> 10 Katiba Opium 12 -> 8 AK-12 Uncut Diamonds 4 -> 3 Lowered Mental deer stands.

Fixed skiptracer bonus calculation due to the new arrest cap.

All pretty cool stuff. Only thing that may be a problem is cops can see directly into Heroin Field from the roof of the new Highway Patrol. It's also only 1km away, it may be worth considering moving the location of Heroin or putting some type of structure in the way to obstruct the view from HQ. 

On February 3rd, 2015 I joined Asylum for the first time. A few co-workers got me into it, we tried to learn the ropes as fast as we could. Although at times it felt damn near impossible. There were mechanics that we just simply did not understand. However, that was the very allure that kept me coming back day after day. Those co-workers moved on to be KOTH nerds at one point and left me in their dust. I kept digging and eventually figured out the spawn map, and the hard lesson was that I didn’t need to run from Sofia to Athria, and I could just respawn. This was life-changing, for better or for the worse, as I was hooked on this new digital heroin. I eventually fell in love with Kavala. Instant and constant action, while being called a myriad of names, and a ton of new experiences. I was a combat logger, i didn’t have the money to buy these cool guns time and time again. I exploited the Kavala Hq daily. There was this spot where if you Sync’d and logged back in, you would drop down just under the concrete surface and the cops couldn’t get you, but you could shoot and cause your own kind of hell.
    As time progressed, i wanted to become more and more involved. I was known by a few different names throughout my time here. The IFRIT part just stuck out of all the different usernames. I joined some gang with a Zombie Dude? He had an awkwardly deep voice but was a good leader. He essentially was able to weaponize the kids from Kavala and make us do his bidding. A few guns and some cash in the game sure when a long way. I just kept buying damn IFRITS because I simply could not drive. If I drove a hatchback, I was going to die. Every single time, there wasn’t a question about it. 
    I was invited to join the team of staff after befriending @Clint Beastwood and @BaDaBiNg_10-8. I still remember us taking a .50cal through the streets of Kavala on March 17th, 2017, with every civ hell-bent on killing us. Every single cop was determined to take us down. The laughter that rang through my house has since never been repeated. I was sore the next day from the belly laugh. 
As I worked my way through the team of staff, I quickly found my heart had been fully invested in this place. I would work and get home only to sit and devote all my time to playing or providing support. I was hooked and down badly. There wasn’t any hope for me to return from this rabbit hole. I made new friends along the way and experienced life one event at a time. I had a lot of highs and lows. There are people here that were extremely supportive during these times. I had a lifeline and so did they. It started as a video game and ended as a family. 
    A while ago I was able to meet @Roice in person in vegas. He waited for me at the airport and was about 2 feet taller than I thought he was. It was a strange experience at first but it quickly showed that we hadn’t missed a beat. As Roice drove around vegas, the shenanigans we got ourselves into that night will never be forgotten. There were core memories developed that night, some of those memories I don’t have the pleasure of actually remembering. But Roice could easily tell you if he wasn’t sworn to secrecy. 
    The point I am trying to assert here is that many of you come and go. Some are here for a week and some of you have been here for almost 10 years. We have not survived this long because Arma is a cutting-edge game that’s leading the charts in popularity. However, we offer something that the triple-A developers will never be able to, a family. This has turned into an escape for many. The typical life bullshit doesn’t apply to here. The medical, finical, family, and school problems have no bearing here. You are provided with the unique opportunity to create your own story that can be turned off with the click of a button. 
 
Today, I am clicking that button
    I have made the decision that for the health of the community and my personal life, I am stepping down and allowing new leadership to take the wheel. I am excited to announce that @RoguePilot has accepted the challenge and is rising to the occasion. I have the utmost confidence that rogue will find the best path forward to continue the long legacy of Asylum. I encourage you to all offer the same support and gratitude that you showed me when I took over ownership in December 2019. The first 6 months were terrifying and contained a huge learning curve. I truly never stopped learning.
    While I step away from Asylum, I won't disappear from Asylum. I have some career and family goals that need my utmost dedication and focus. And I believe that without the stress of ownership, I will accomplish these goals. Asylum has created a foundation that will help me succeed for the rest of my life. I wish the ownership aspect was something we could easily show the masses, but I wasn’t able to find a concrete way to do just that. 
To the countless staff through the years, I truly cannot thank you enough. You guys are the sole reason that Asylum is what Asylum is. You guys through my ownership time worked to keep me in check and my feet planted in reality. The respect I have for you guys will never be forgotten, and I will never be able to thank you enough. For that, I am in debt to you.
 
There are a few secrets that I wanted to air out as I depart.
 
The bear image in my signature contained a coupon code for a shit ton of money in the store. It was a puzzle and it was not easily seen. A few got close to figuring it out years ago.
 
I hate banning people. It was a necessary evil, but with every single ban, I wondered if the person I banned was dealing with shit in life that they too were trying to escape. And that ban may have been their last line to that escape. I know I caused someone to face their issues when they were not ready. For that, I am sorry. It’s not my place to tell you when your issues should be faced. 
 
To the person that died shortly after I spoke with you, I am sorry I didn’t say a better goodbye. Neither of us knew, but I would give anything to go back and say a final goodbye. 
 
To the people that confided their deepest secrets and struggles with me, know that I have still never repeated those to anyone and they will continue to rest with me. I hope you have found peace from those burdens. 
 
To the friend groups that still exist today because of Asylum, I hope they will continue long beyond Asylum. 
 
Open letter to Rogue
 
Rogue,
 
   The journey you have agreed to undertake has ramifications that only a few know. Being the owner brings a burden that cannot be described. We have spoken at length about the lessons I learned. I encourage you to never forget that you are not here for yourself. Your mission is to continue providing a place for all these people from across the world to meet and continue their connections and friendships. I encourage you to always be humble, listen more than you talk, and admit when you are wrong.
    You will have thousands of voices in your ear, and it will be impossible to respond to them all. But you can read them all. I know that during my tenure, I read every single message that I got. Sometimes they were extremely irritating to read and hear, and often they were downright violent. I still read them and used them as fuel to continue the charge. However, I expect you to exercise your restraint when needed, and tenacity when required. You are here to defend what has come before you, and continue what comes after you. You will never take the L, and defeat at any level can never be welcomed. Defend every community member as your family when they come personally under attack.
    You hold the power to affect change in people's lives. I know this sounds dramatic, but it’s only because of the messages I received that showed this to be the reality. You should always be humble and understanding. The server is a direct reflection of how you conduct yourself. The team of staff is there for you at any time. Use them for their duties, and empower them to build with you. 


 
With love,
 
Mitch
