If you're goal was to lose the trust of your remaining playerbase, congratulations.
 
What changes do you have in mind that are worth taking a massive shit on everyone's time they spent? If you say it might be saved we have to assume it will be to not be at a huge disadvantage to anyone that does. What a joke.

I don't want to express my opinion on whether to erase; Because this is a North American server, the Chinese have no right to speak. Like China's arma3 server, asylum is dying. I just want to say, who can guarantee that Tom, UC and Olof will not continue to cheat? If they cheat in the future, will asylum continue to ban them? If they are permanently banned for the second time, and they take away their friends, their friends may be 10, 20, 30, will asylum forgive them for the second time? Cycle like this!!! In my opinion, asylum is bowing to cheating players. I don't want to say anything else. Goodbye. Let's look forward to arma4, better engine, lower delay and better shelter.

Why not keep both server? Have the old server and the new at the same time for those who want to enjoy the old server and the new fresh one. Leave them for 1week and if you see that one of them is low pop just keep the higher pop one after the week.

+1 All the people complaining were the people locking down houses for no one to grab the server stats are phenomenal introducing an abundant of unique players too that may leave if the server gets reverted back to the old save.

Everyone complaining that this database will be used if the server wipes... there are still 100+ S tier houses available... everywhere.
There are over a dozen 3-crate houses in Atheria right now for market price that were 3+ mill before. There are a bunch of sheds for market price. Drug processing houses that have not been available (or used by anyone) for years. 
It's still he best opportunity for active (or rejoining) players that has ever happened, and as a result I've seen a resurgence of player's that have not played since before Mitch owned the server. It's fantastic.

Continuation and update for (I'd suggest reading this)
 
The patch is now live.

While this is something new that's being tested I'd like to remind everyone that all rules will be in place. And just because we are on a different database does not mean your bans and punishments wont stick after the event. Please do not try to ruin it for other players.

Again, we are temporarily starting everyone fresh besides their donation and faction status. This means houses, vehicles, money, stats, etc will be gone during the event. Only thing being kept is your current gang. (Gang bank, gang garage, gang house all will be removed)

Any crate keys or skins purchased during the event will be useable on the main server after the test is over. Meaning if you purchase crate keys now you will not see them in your Asylum Fresh inventory, but instead in the main server inventory. If we do another play test we will move your newly earned crate rewards and skins over to the existing fresh server profile data.

If you purchase or upgrade your donation rank please message me on Discord BoonieHat#0292 and I will try to get it updated quickly.

Also, I've received a lot of messages regarding some of you thinking it's a wipe. It is not a wipe, but a play test to gain feedback about a wipe and try something new. After the event is over we will be switching back to everyone's current progress.
All your progress you've made during this weekend will be saved. If feedback is good and we run the event again we plan on using this same data, but this isn't guaranteed as we may need to balance a few things.

https://myfresh.gaming-asylum.com/home is now live and being used for the fresh start. We've disabled a couple leaderboards and stats for the time being.

We will be giving away a few unique titles, donor ranks, and some store credit to the top achievers in The Altis Police Department, The Altis Fire Department, Civilians, and Rebels. I'm not going to spoil all the fun and tell you what were looking for, but I will say (It's not just money earned).

Have fun. And leroy please don't steal my redgulls.

First 24 Hours Economy Report
We will show more and make an official thread of our findings after the event has concluded.

First Hour of the wipe

 
First 12 Hours of the wipe

 
First 24 Hours of the wipe

Guess I'm redownloading Arma

I dig it. 10hrs a month or lose ur house. If you can't fit 10hrs of game time in a 720hr month. Your life is prob to busy for games and you should worry more about that. 
 
I get people have life's. Vacations. Ect. But at the end of the day it's a game and if your not playing and only hoarding your doing more harm then good.

Looking for your feedback for the wipe event. Please try to not focus on your agreement or disagreement with the length of time or what wad wiped. I'm looking for the feedback on the experience you were faced with. What went well and what didn't. Was it fun? Was it hard? Please tell us!

I don't understand what the complaints are about. you're all experienced players and know how to make money. literally do one run and ur set I don't understand what the issue is. people are moving around the map and server is alive again. server pop hasn't hit more than 90 in the last few months and today it hit 107 players which was more than oly for quite awhile.  I don't understand how you guys enjoy killing naked players in city's for hours with more money than you know what to do with. all we need is new content and the server is heading in the right direction IMO.
Edit: the server pop is at 133 ppl rn
Also shouldn't wipe stats imo.

This experiment will occur tomorrow 09/02 and run through Sunday the 4th. Azeh will be applying the changes and bringing up mid Afternoon (CST) tomorrow. 

@Boonie HatAre you planning on wiping talent points as well?  Doing this may cause a 2-day event to be a wash as everyone will be farming money/talent points for those 2 days.  Might want to lean towards a week-long event, so the feedback is more viable.

I wouldn't play. Progression feels pointless then.

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY
The following has been changed in regards to illegal areas:
SGT+ are no longer allowed to use drones to search illegal areas.
SGT+ are still able to fly over in helicopters. 
Each SGT+ may only have one drone in the air at a time.
The following has been changed in regards to APD staff playtime.
Once playtime hours are met (25 hours), playtime will now count towards APD activities.
1 activity will be earned for every 3 hours played increasing by 1 hours for every additional activity earned in this way. (First activity at 28 hours, second at 32 hours and so on..)
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this policy, or would like to discuss a policy change, feel free to contact a Captain.

Isn't this the guy that said he was going to bribe a ton of money to mitch to get me permed?

First I would like to apologize to @halfdrunkhero. After a weekend of shit shows involving the APD I snapped at you. The frustration that had built over the weekend due to dealing with situations unrelated to you came out directed at you which was not fair. This was not right and for that I apologize to you.
For the two officers I lethaled, I did not realize the policy change regarding Captains had removed all unwritten rules including those regarding LTs. I assumed and in doing so, made an ass of myself. I should have clarified the policy with Mitch prior and been aware of this change.
I am, after all, only human and make mistakes. I do not hide from them but rather learn from them and work to better myself. I have been in this community for over 5 years, over 4.5 of them as a higher up. As a higher up I am obviously held to a higher standard. I have never, in all that time, worked towards anything that I did not think would better this community. I have made my mistakes and had lapses in judgement in the past, but I have never and never plan to, do something I know would be directly harmful to this community.

Wipe the server !!!

1. Remove Indica/Sativa seeds altogether or at a minimum, reduce income drastically to get more players out of the cities and back into a normal pattern of money making;

2. If the server has been so low in population lately, please consider decreasing the response times on Player Reports, i.e. live bans. This has a lasting effect on players and in no time at all with this practice, players will start comping to prevent a timely ban interrupting their fun. If Mods and Admins feel there are too many reports, this is an easy fix as more players will start comping, thus less reports to handle;
3. APD, I don’t know, it’s so far gone now from what it was a few years ago. If put in charge of the problem, I would have to go with a top-down approach of ridiculously severe enforcement of all APD policies to get all levels of cops back to the way things were. Slotting up as a cop used to not be a money-making scam but a real RP opportunity to set a professional but fun tone on the island. All I can say is good luck trying to get that one under control. Many would agree the APD has done more to drive players off the island than any other force in the server. The inability to admit this fact suggests you’re part of the problem. Also, removing inactive APD players from playing cop with no warning was a poor decision; we lost many good cops in that lame move;
4. Realign the damage from RPG’s to its original, un-nerfed value. They’re expensive as hell and barely work. Their senseless at the moment.
5. Final note, Developers deserve a huge Thank You for all the new content. We sometimes have players rejoin after a few years and only then do you realize how many new activities there are on the island when they start voicing their questions about all the new locations, Fed Events and red zones, etc.
 

As much as I hate to agree with him.....I was always against this. But honestly, the macro economics of the island have been broken with passive money making opportunities and its impossible to fix right now without a wipe. It went on for too long. There are too many players with enough money that they never have to grind again.

Its killed the contest on the server. The base of this server came here to troll, fight and rob. 

Deleting all but $100k in everyones account would cause everyone to get out and start grinding again.

ETA: Wiping it once will not work. Too many players know this game and how to be efficient. Half the server will have 5 mil in their account in a month. I think it needs to be wiped on a regular basis.

Good video I approve of this message! Worth the ride!

Special Thanks to all our Jet Ski World customers
