I want to start by saying thank you. Thank you to those who were able to assist us in reaching our first goal since the ownership change. This first month has taught me a ton. It's because of you guys that this is all possible. I appreciate the countless messages I have received over the last 30 days. The messages with support, suggestions and issues have all helped to shape my first month as Owner.
With the formalities out of the way, let's take a dive into what I hope we can accomplish during January.
The January rewards have been posted. SWAT, vehicle customization, and additional achievement titles! Due to the holiday season, I have not been able to speak with development as much as I have been able to in the past. I'm sure we were busy, just like many of you. With that, I do not have all the details at my fingertips to disclose about the vehicle customization. But the idea is that you will be able to change the skins on the vehicle, increase the speed some, and potentially increase the storage capacity. Once I have another "sit down" with them to hammer out those details, I will be sure to let you all know.
The SWAT system will be sort of like it was before. But I believe there was always room for improvement within that feature. I am hopeful that we can bring those improvements into today's system. I have a long list of detailed suggestions saved and will reference that when speaking with development when hammering out the fine details. If you too have ideas and suggestions, please make them public! Your time to help shape this is now!
Additional titles for achievements obtained in-game. There are so many things that we all do on a daily basis, and some that we don't do much of. Looking at what we track, we have a ton of fresh potential for ranks to be displayed. If you want to brag that you have collected a shit ton of various items, sold, or otherwise have done. I believe you should be able to brag about it. What Kavala troll doesn't want to brag for selling a ton of weed?

I have created a new idea to help us as a community cover our monthly needs, while making these rewards available to more people with various household budgets. This will be known as the subscriber system. The rewards are awesome, at a very friendly price. However, I will admit that sub systems are an extremely popular system with just about every company. And that can sometimes be frustrating. So i want to put all the cards on the table to ensure that you are able to understand why it's being done. Currently, our ways to cover our cost fluctuate on a month to month basis. We have donor levels and loot crates. While these are great systems, they are anything but reliable. People buy crates to get an item if they choose, but once they get that item. They no longer need to purchase that key.. I have no way to gauge what the income will be for the month, and to me, that is a terrible way to run any business. The price of this subscription has been set to ensure we cover what we need to, and to give you minimal impact to your wallet. If you have feedback, or suggestions please let me know. This system is not currently implemented, as there is dev work that is needed. If I am able to have part of this system done, such as everything but the custom titles and the license plates. I will offer the subscription at a reduced price until it is fully completed. When I get a better ETA on this, I will let you guys know.
And for the final note,
Since I now have access to the donation information of everyone in the community. I realized there are people who have donated over the current top rank (Donor 7). But yet they are not rewarded for their contribution past donor 7. I have decided to add some additional ranks that will cover all the amounts that current active people have obtained. I am not ready to post the details of those additional ranks yet. I still need to fine tune them before going public. I just wanted you to all be aware of what is going on in the world of ownership. Information is power.
Until next time,
Mitch
Edit:
I forgot to add....
Our January development is working towards a refined war system and the return of infamy. It's my hope that you guys will gain a ton of value from these features.
Edit 2:
The stats that i speak of above are all not being tracked currently. So anything you have done over the last 4 years will not count due to it not being tracked in this way. Once this goes live, we will start tracking such items.
I would recommend cutting for sure then. Do some strength training and then end the work out with some treadmil or other cardio for about 20-30 minutes. Also since bruce lee is a fighter you might want to get more into endurance training and possibly even get a personal trainer for teaching you how to fight.
The following Asylum services will be brought offline at midnight (CENTRAL TIME - https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/cdt) tonight.

The duration of the downtime expected is around 1 hour. Could be longer/shorter depending on how things go. I'll update via announcements in discord if the duration is extended.
Sorry for any inconveniences that this may cause.
At this current moment in time, this downtime is only to update the database services to support V2.
