Gen. Henry Arnold

Asylum Community,
Just a quick update from the team here, we want to thank you all for your support in reopening, it’s been awesome to see so many people back online running around. Here is a quick update on where we are.
Over the past few weeks, our updates have been focused on bug fixes, anti-cheat improvements, and quality-of-life enhancements. While we would have loved to dedicate more time to new content during this period, these efforts were absolutely necessary to strengthen the foundation of our platform.
In addition to addressing key issues, we’ve made significant progress on much-needed backend infrastructure improvements and updates. These changes are essential for ensuring long-term stability and performance, providing us with a more solid base to build on as we move forward. 
Here is what we have planned for you all as we come into the new year and beyond.
Localized Prison Cells at Police HQs:
Each police HQ will be equipped with a small holding cell. If a gang member is caught (e.g., during a federal heist), they’ll be temporarily detained here.
Breakout Opportunity:
Gang members will have a limited window (X minutes) to attempt an easier prison break from the local holding cell.
Failure Consequences:
If the breakout attempt fails within the set timeframe (or once all gang members are processed and jailed, TBD), the detained player will be transferred to the main jail to serve the remainder of their sentence.
Dispute system
A lot of rule violations that currently end up as as reports and require admin intervention could be handled between the players themselves. This includes asking for compensation, explaining your side of the story etc, and if you can’t figure it out with the other player an admin will step in and take over. Implementing a system to handle these disputes between players will speed up the process for both parties and ensure people don’t get needlessly banned for minor infractions, while also ensuring compensation is properly logged and visible for admins.
Admin warning system
The new warning system provides admins with the ability to issue warnings to players for minor infractions, without resorting to more drastic actions like bans. This is especially useful when admins are not online or when the player is offline.
Players will be required to read and accept the warning before being allowed to continue playing, ensuring they are aware of the issue.
Now obviously there will be some people that will ignore the warning, thats why admins will be able to track of the amount and frequency of warnings a player receives and still issue bans accordingly for repeat offenders
Note that this system will not replace the current ban system, this system is for minor rule violations and cases where the situation isn’t cut and dry, Clear and intentional violations will still get issues by the regular bans
Interactive gathering with tractors, not driving in circles, harvesting bushes for cotton,tobacco,etc
New and improved SRT dynamic, and additional opportunities for civ v specialize cop combat outside of federal events.
New skins and crates coming soon
@Kelly and @Iuke have made some awesome new skins for us to enjoy, including something we’ve never done before
Tutorial town
As part of our roadmap, we're thrilled to introduce Tutorial Town! This will be the perfect starting point for newcomers, designed to help players learn the ropes.
Players will be able to experiment with core features in a low-pressure, guided environment.
Guide NPC's in towns
Navigating our towns is about to get easier than ever for new players! Each town will feature a Guide NPC, specifically designed to help new players find key locations and points of interest.
Strife domination release (soon)
Hireable gas stations for cool perks and passive income
We’re introducing Hireable Gas Stations, an exciting new feature that offers players cool perks and opportunities for passive income. Here’s how it works:
Own Your Spot: There are three gas stations available to hire, and they reset every server restart.
Passive Earnings: Once hired, the gas station generates money over time, which is deposited into a secure safe. It’s up to you to empty the safe regularly—before someone else tries to take it!
Raids and Risks: Other players can raid your gas station to steal the cash you’ve earned. Keep an eye out and defend your property!
Time-Based Ownership: If you’re offline for more than 10 minutes, your gas station becomes available for someone else to hire. Stay active to maximize your income!
Launder with a Bonus: Gas stations double as a laundering spot for banknotes, giving you a 1.5x payout on your cleaned money.
Play More, Earn More: The longer you stay in-game, the higher your return on investment.
Battle Pass
The battle pass will consist of daily/weekly challenges that need to be completed to increase your rank, the further along you get the more rewards you get. There will be 2 tiers available for the battle pass
The free tier will reward you with in-game items, Asylum gold, and some lower tier skins
The paid tier (bought with Asylum gold) will contain premium skins, asylum gold and more rewards
Gang house drug shipments
Thank you @Kill Switch for the idea. As a token of appreciation, you have been awarded 500 gold for your contribution.
Once a large amount of drugs is stashed at the gang house a shipment can be started, this shipment will lead to a hidden drug dealer that will pay you more for the convenience to buy large amounts of drugs at once. Be warned tho, once you start the shipment other players will get tipped off about your general starting location and direction of the dealer.
Distress Beacon
Thank you @K0Mat0s3 for the idea. As a token of appreciation, you have been awarded 500 gold for your contribution.
An item that will alert police to your location, to which they will respond with high priority. Always usable(even while handcuffed/blindfolded) and only purchasable and usable while part of the Workers Union. We hope this will give newer players and players doing legal money making methods more of a fighting chance against.
Leaving mail for house owners
Thank you @moift for the idea, As a token of appreciation, you have been awarded 500 gold for your contribution.
Leaving mail at a house will allow you to leave a message for an unknown home owner. Whether you've accidentally damaged their property, such as hitting a baseball through their window, or if you wish to make an offer to purchase the house. Simply leave a letter for the home owner to find next time they check their house’s mailbox, this will be as non intrusive as possible to not bother people with prime real estate while still allowing people to make contact.
Obviously this is not all but it is an idea of what is to come, we are obviously open to any ideas you as a community might bring to us!
You may have noticed that we’ve started awarding 500 gold to players whose suggestions have made meaningful contributions to Asylum. This is our way of saying thank you for helping us improve and grow together!
Going forward, we’re excited to keep this initiative rolling—good suggestions deserve recognition. We hope this incentive motivates you to put effort into crafting thoughtful and impactful ideas. Your input is invaluable, and we can’t wait to see what you come up with next!

We also want to increase the frequency of patches, no longer waiting and compiling changes but instead push changes as soon as they are completed and tested. more rapid iteration will allow us to react/adapt to community feedback and suggestions more effectively.
We're grateful for your support and we can't wait to hear your feedback and suggestions.

Foreword: 
A number of our team members have spent quite a bit of time the last few weeks in getting this out to you guys.  We have fundamentally changed the way our staff operates, the APD is represented, increased our security and processes, and done quite a bit of work to shift our community away from loud, toxic assholes and back to fun, light-rp guys.  This is the first step, additional posts will announce more content, staff changes, and policies in the coming days.
The biggest thing we need to fix is the community, no piece of content is going to do that, it is on us as owners, and our staff to help our community recover from all these toxic cunts.  I am always here to discuss concerns and will try and hold community townhalls to just discuss things regularly. -Fitz
Added:
Altis Workers Union The Altis Workers Union is a new faction for civilian players.  These members have access to select facilities to sell items, buy weapons, and work within the law.  They are by definition law-abiding citizens, not able to have the training of a rebel, or a skiptracer.  Have access to higher caliber weapons to use for self-defense, (Legal with the license) Have access to the Dock Worker in Kavala which grants an 10% sale buff on most legal items Any vehicles bought/pulled out come with a built-in low jack which is activated when the vehicle is lockpicked The APD is then notified and given live updates on the vehicle's location The license can be revoked for uses included in an APD Policy to be released in concurrence with this post. IEDS Rebels can now buy improvised explosive devices to place around the island. Buy the IED from Rebel, hit "Use Item" via the Phone menu Place the bomb where you want to put it and prime the charge Call it from your phone to watch it explode You can defuse an IED with lockpicks once it has been placed There is a chance that it explodes if you try and defuse it, a higher chance if you did not plant it APD officers have better chances of disarming IEDs via the calling of the bomb squad.  Send a 911 message to the APD and officers will report to the scene. While an APD vehicle is close to the IED officers will be able to scroll on their trunks to "Activate Bomb Squad" Once an active EOD officer, you will be able to try and disarm the bomb. (Don't worry cops know what they're doing) Upon death or successful disarmament of the IED, cops will get their original gear back. There is also a chance that IEDs will spawn at random around the map. APD officers will be notified with a rough location and be able to defuse the bomb and sell the disabled device. Cotton Cotton has begun to grow in a field East of Kavala Go run and gather the cotton Bring it to the Cotton Gin in DP2 to process it before selling at the commodities trader/Union Docks Tobacco Tobacco has sprouted along the coast Southeast of Kavala Run and gather the tobacco Dry the tobacco over a campfire (This can be sold at the union docks) You can buy "Raw Papers" from a hospital, and then roll the cigarettes in your inventory whilst having dried tobacco and papers.  These are sold at the Union Market/Commod Trader You can buy "Raw Papers" and combine them with dried Tobacco and unprocessed marijuana at the Cigar Factory (Near black market production)_ to process cigars.  These are sold at wong Evidence Gathering Missions APD officers now have the ability to start an evidence collection mission from any APD HQ, by scrolling on a vehicle NPC. Drive the transport truck to the crime scene and collect the evidence Once the evidence has been loaded you can drive back to the directed HQ, once you arrive you will be prompted to deliver the mission. There is a chance that civilians will receive a notification when a delivery truck has been dispatched, and the location of pickup/delivery, so be careful! Sherrifs Department APD Officers may now deploy for the sheriffs department when joining the island.  This faction is designed for those who wish to roleplay, and patrol the cities of Altis. Sheriffs officers are excluded from the numbers required for federal events, although they may be requested as backup in accordance with APD policy. This faction is a blank slate, for role players and experienced officers alike to play in the cities, patrol nearby and engage with the community. Policy has been worked out to ensure that we ease our players into this, with additional development opportunities in the coming weeks.
Mafia Strongholds With the recent development of a union on Altis the Italian Mafia has setup shop with support of local union leaders.  There are two Mafia compounds on the island which have associated illegal loot for the taking.  These compounds can be breached by civilians (As a federal event), or by APD officers as a raid event. Civilians which successfully defend a mafia compound will be able to steal the loot seized by the APD, and be rewarded for stopping the raid. The process to rob the compounds are the same for both factions.  (Cops can buy demo charges and crow bars at the APD shop, rebels at rebel) Place a demo charge on the main gate of the vault.  ~5 minutes  Use crowbars on the crates inside the compound to open them up ~60 seconds to pry open each crate Grab the sealed containers from the open crates and sell them at the rebel outpost/cop item shop
Tractor Harvesting You are now able to farm bushes with tractors. (Replacing that dog shit garden truck).  Tractors will harvest bushes not in towns, that are in front of the vehicle while it drives. Strife Domination In addition to our core domination which is hosted on S1, we're now introducing an extended version which will be hosted once a week for starters. (Saturday afternoon, time to be announced) This version is designed to elevate the battlefield, extending the existing arsenal and vehicle garage with the rest of A3. What’s Included in the Extended Version? Armored Vehicles: Expanded Weaponry: Item Persistence: All vehicles, weapons, and equipment introduced in the extended version are restricted to the domination zone. This ensures that high-tier assets remain available only within the designated combat area. (any exploiting will be a bannable offense) Tutorial system Mandatory Tutorial for New Players: All new players will now be required to complete a tutorial upon first joining the game. [TUTORIAL MODE] Tag: During the tutorial, players will have a special tag, [TUTORIAL MODE], displayed in front of their name. Protected Learning Environment: Players with the [TUTORIAL MODE] tag are to be left undisturbed, except for receiving help and guidance. Enforcement Against Disruption: Any player found intentionally disrupting or ruining the experience of those in [TUTORIAL MODE] will face strict administrative action. Money prestige system We understand this change might come as a surprise, but we’re evolving, and we ask you to give the new Money Prestige System a fair shot. Let’s see where this journey takes us together (we can always revise it along the way, we will listen to your constructive feedback on this). We believe this system strikes a balance that benefits everyone: Grinders now have even more reason to push their limits and be rewarded for their efforts. Cartel fighters will not be constrained by an arbitrary 1 million cap that forces them into endless grinding loops, the 10 million cap offers a wide enough range to play a normal cartel fighting lifestyle. Starting Money Cap: All players will begin with a money cap of 10 million. Any earnings beyond this cap will be redirected towards Prestige. Prestige Progression and Cap Increase: Upon accumulating 10 million Prestige, your money cap will increase by 1 million, allowing you to hold up to 11 million in the bank. This progression continues: for every additional 10 million Prestige earned, your money cap will increase by another 1 million. Prestige Rewards: Prestige will offer exclusive rewards to recognize and reward long-term dedication. Legacy Earnings Conversion: Any money accumulated in V2 and V3 will automatically be converted to Prestige upon your first interaction with the server. Vehicle Insurance After Destruction: Destroyed vehicles will now remain in your garage. Instead of purchasing a new car, you can repair them for their selling price, saving both time and money. Stolen Vehicles: However, if your vehicle is stolen, it will not be recoverable, and you’ll need to acquire a new one. Added an additional free fire rebel  
Changed:
Combined achievement metrics between V2/V3 Centralized locations around cities. New APD HQs New Altis Penitentiary  New Bank of Altis Prisoners now pick cotton to reduce their time Increased economic viability of legal money-making methods (Im not writing them all) Gang Boat and Fort will now be equipped with an electric fence while they are not active. (So you can’t camp them) Removed region lock, (more description to come before release with timing, etc.) Money spawning for admins Admins are no longer allowed to spawn money in for themselves As a thank you for being a helpful member, each admin is rewarded 5k for their troubles every 5 minutes they are in game. They are allowed to spend this on anything they like. We fixed all the known bugs too, I'm not writing them down either  
As stated, there are additional pieces of QOL and playable content that are awaiting play testing, they will be pushed ideally the week of Thanksgiving, (Or after depending on holidays).

 
Hotfix #1 is now live
removed smokes from vehicles due to an arma bug causing lag
removed infinitely spawning trees on the map
removed the ability to repair sold vehicles
Hotfix #2
Bounties not persisting on relog
Trees that were causing lag
Pyrgos medical NPC not being there
Air HQ spawnpoint for cops not displaying correctly
Admin pay not actually admin paying
Picking cotton / anything that is spawned in with a 2d texture on profiling
wrong wording on union license
hotfix #3
Strife domination potentially WAC banning on mission end
Domination capture points not working on A3 profiling branch
Domination payouts code fixed properly (again) (players need to play a minimum of 30 minutes domination to be eligable for payouts)
Spawning vehicles in and or around new police HQ's
Positioning on the NPC's in police HQ
A broken automation on the backend of the server
Asylum exchange being usable in the domination zone
Metal gathering inside prison not working
Cotton spawning in shitty locations in jail

Dear Players,
We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who continues to support the server by playing and keeping our community alive! As a special thank you, we’re thrilled to announce that we’re awarding 1 month of Asylum+ to our top 5 players from the past week in recognition of their dedication and exceptional performance.
Your contributions make this server a fantastic place to play, and we truly appreciate your continued support!
(If you already have Asylum+, the free month will be added to your current subscription.)
Enjoy your free month!

Best regards,
Fitz / Obi / Mitch

We will see if there's a good way to preview all the vehicle skins through an in game menu

We will see if there's a good way to preview all the vehicle skins through an in game menu

This wasn't really a personal setting idea, after the first Domination event on S1, hearing all the vehicles on after people got out or shot out was annoying
It's a QOL thing for others to benefit from
(and its only for ground vehicles before someone asks)

Good critique though, always willing to listen for feedback and things can be changed

🔝

A small note regarding the upcoming patch:

As many of you know, we've recently undergone a transfer of ownership which involved moving stuff and setting up all the necessary systems. This process took more time than anticipated and unfortunately did cut into our development schedule for this patch.
We decided to still move forward and release a smaller patch to prevent an extended time without updates and use this as an example of the more open communication we want to strive for.
We appreciate your patience and ongoing support as we work hard to bring the server back to its full potential. Your dedication keeps Asylum strong, and we're excited for what's to come.
You can expect the patch to be released by the end of this week or early next week.
An exact date will be added here in a couple days
Patch will release on Sunday the 8th of September
Added:
Tri-Weekly Domination Event Tuesdays @ 5:00PM EST, Thursdays @6:00PM EST, Saturday 3:00PM At the above times Domination will pop on the island.  One of four zones will be randomly selected to be contested. (Sofia, Panagia, Arms Island, Drug Peninsula) For 90 minutes players will be able to spawn at the Domination Rebels and participate at the event, they will be fighting over a pot of the Governors money, and a tax of all weapons and vehicles bought during the event. Players will be paid if they have at least 250 points with a bonus for placing top 5. There is a random chance when a flag moves that one of the flags will spawn a: Hotzone: Points gather twice as fast Hardpoint: Control of the hardpoint goes to the gang with the most players within the flag zone Defuse the Bomb: A bomb is placed at the point, the gang who defuses it when the time expires gains 250 extra points to their score During the event a myriad of optimization features are enabled within the area to delete vehicles, suitcases and corpses within the zone. Players during the event receive 2x blood money for all kills in the zone Hit "J" to see all the gangs and their points Pot counter above the top three on the side of your screen Cartels in the area are disabled during the event, Arms Cartel does not take a cut from the rebels Random Event Additions During the restart we have added a number of random events that will spawn in different locations.  They are able to be contested by APD and Rebels although the APD is not required to attend.  If they are not secured within the time limit they will self-destruct Disabled Vehicles One of the following 3 vehicles are randomly selected to spawn [Ghosthawk (Armed), Prowler HMG, Minigun Boat] Players scroll on the option "Secure Vehicle" If the players gang is securing the vehicle when the 15 minute timer expires they will be able to use the vehicle for the restart If the APD secures it the vehicle will be seized by the officers Rebel Weapons Cache A weapons crate will spawn randomly on the island, the loot table is the following: [Suicide vests, grenades, flashbangs, Katiba, Type 115,  Mk200, LIM, RPG-7, Ak12, MXC, MX, ADR-97 Both variants] Players scroll "Secure Vehicle" to set their gang as the securing group Players will have access to the loot after 15 minutes APD Cache A disabled Huron full of APD loot will spawn on the island, loot table is the following: [Mk200, Suicide Vests, Grenades, LIM, RPG-32, CMR-76, Zafirs, MK1, Spr-17, MXC,MX] [Lockpicks, redgull, speedbombs, element 115, remote explosives, arsonist kits, bank notes, meth, goldbars, etc] Players scroll "Secure Vehicle" to set their gang as the securing group Players will be able to secure the evidence shipment and the Huron by securing it for 15 minutes Hotzone Event At random a cartel point will be selected as a Hotzone. During the event kills within the capture zone receives 2x blood money The gang holding the cartel when the event completes receives a 300k bonus. Cartel Bonuses Gangs will now receive a cash bonus when they fully capture a cartel.  This bonus is tied to the percentage that the gang has captured and the number of players online.  If you capture from 60% up to 100% you will receive less than if you captured from 100% down to 0% and back to 100%. National HQ Admin Event The APD Commissioner has requested the return of the APD National HQ as a base of operations for the APD.  Cops can spawn here and do all of the things that they would normally do in any other HQ, except this one is better The Anti-Air turret/security fense is only active during the admin event though...... unless? No jk its only enabled during the event Event: An admin can activate a raid of the National HQ. Players will be prompted to join via a "9" popup on their screen, they are then put into the raiding group and teleported nearby to gear-up and supply. APD officers are able to spawn in the HQ until the perimeter has been breached to defend their headquarters. Civilians must breach all layers of the HQ security to successfully secure the APD intelligence and receive their payment. APD Weapon locker Can be found at every HQ (cabinet hanging on the wall next to the store npc), allows you to store some guns/clothes to swap between them (CBRN suit for uranium etc) SWAT Rework V1 Please keep in mind this is an early iteration of a reworked SWAT system, there are more changes coming to how exactly this system works but we wanted to move forward with this early version to see how exactly it would affect federal events and the community. We will be keeping a close eye on the system and apply balancing when needed. Loadouts Non SWAT whitelisted officers now receive a scaling amount of "upgraded" loadouts when a federal event pops based on a few criteria, We will be tweaking these values to maintain a proper balance. Amount of opposing players opposing players gear a few other factors The "upgraded" loadouts are NOT SWAT (MK1, helmet, etc) kits. but are bound by the same rules (no dropping gear etc, an updated APD policy will be available before the actual patch) The loadout contains a weapon slightly above that officers rank, therefor increasing APD effectiveness overall vs only buffing a few select SWAT officers Cadet: MXC Constable: Type 115 Corporal: Type 115 / Spar 17 Sergeant+: MK-1 SWAT Garage Based on the same factors as described above the amount of available SWAT vehicles will scale accordingly. Ability to repair vehicles at fuel stations for a small fee coming soon Vehicle garage at storage facilities Loadout option at turfs (these will be separate loadouts due to the different availability of weapons/items) MX Smoke Launcher and Ammo to Skiptracers Gang skins (Want your own?)  Crimson MSK BBNB Changed:
Asylum+ loadout slots increased to 10 SGTs can now open house doors They are still unable to seize house inventory MobileHQ cooldown reduced to 15mins A drivers license is now required to purchase a vehicle Hunger reduced by 10% Thirst reduced by 15% Getting out of vehicles will automatically turn off your engine (and save your ears) Vans are now available to constable+ Fixed:
Restrain Check Gold bars now consistently affect the weight of the vehicle they are in Drug runner waypoints Lockpicking not setting off vehicle alarms when installed

How about putting a link or some form of way to view skins as a preview before purchasing them at the pay n spray  , as at the moment you have to just buy it spend the money which is quite a bit for a chance to not like the skins having not seen them before. maybe make a link which we can view the skins previed on a set of vehicles or something along the lines

Let's GO - Devs on TOP

Let's GO - Devs on TOP

To the Community,

For the past decade, Asylum has been more than just a server; it’s been a home and a community where memories were made. We've seen countless players come and go, Asylum has stood resilient, standing the test of time and change.

The past 12 months have been particularly tough. We’ve watched our daily population dwindle, slowly but surely, culminating in the difficult decision to wipe the server earlier this summer. It was the right call—after 10 years of different owners, developers, and their respective visions for the server’s economy and play style, it was time for a reset.

In a very short time, an immense amount of work went into the V3-branded mission file, both on the front end and back end. For a moment, our population exploded, and it seemed like someone finally had a plan, that there was someone behind the wheel steering us forward. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. Decisions lingered for days and weeks, with no one able to rise and take the initiative. Changes on the development side rendered the team unable to make meaningful contributions to the community. Despite the best efforts of HunterB, Akula, DK, and others, without the authority to make impactful decisions, their initiatives fell short.

In light of this, several members of the development team took action, forcing a change and taking ownership of the community. Gaming-Asylum is once again in the hands of the developers who have been making the server run. For the first time since Paratus founded this server, those shaping Asylum's future have both an emotional and financial stake in its success.

Our goal now is to increase the frequency and quality of patches, drive interaction within the community, and breathe new life into Asylum. We’re going to drag this community kicking and screaming into the next iteration of online role-playing games. Whether it’s GTA 6, Arma Reforger, or Arma 4, we are committed to keeping the community going. 

We understand that trust is not given; it’s earned. Given the current state of the server, we completely understand if you’re hesitant to believe in promises alone. Frankly, if we were in your shoes, we’d probably feel the same way. That’s why we’re not asking for your trust right now—we’re asking for your patience.

We weren’t sure we’d reach this point, but we’re here and ready to move forward. Transitioning ownership is more complex than flipping a switch. We’re currently finalizing the transfer of everything into our name, and during this time, you’ll start to see changes in staff, policies, and more.

We’re also hard at work on a comprehensive roadmap that will guide not just development changes, but also updates to factions and administration. Once the paperwork is complete, we’ll dive headfirst into development. You can expect the patch notes for a minor update with some desperately needed changes/fixes tomorrow, with the patch itself releasing by the end of the week or early next week.

We appreciate your patience and loyalty through the ups and downs. Your feedback and passion are what keep us going. Together, we’re entering a new era for Asylum, and we’re excited to share this journey with you.

Thank you for standing by us.
Fitz/Obi/Mitch

But again, these are already in the server for Donors

Pretty much the title. Although it’s not often there are times when all the corp+ slots are taken so we should be able to gain prestige on the normal cop slots especially considering the prestige wipe. Maybe even allow constables to accrue prestige at a lower percentage so they don’t have to start off with 0 prestige when they get promoted 

This was originally an admin event only layout to get people to try out
Would like to bring it back as a temporary layout (only for the duration of an admin event)
What are the thoughts of in addition to rotating cap locations to include rotating layouts per restart?

A big complaint I heard about this was it's as bad as wongs - any ideas to improve from that?

Foreword:
Over the last 8+ weeks we have seen a steady and consistent decline in server population and interaction, after trying a number of factors we have decided that the best way to move forward is to completely overhaul the Asylum experience.  Our team of developers has worked tirelessly to provide you this fresh opportunity, and we hope you enjoy this refreshed experience.
One of the biggest things we have focused on is the simplification of the Asylum experience, there is a number of content items that we have removed in favor of this goal. Some of them may return with a new twist in the future.
Progress:
All player progress has been reset. Donor levels, crate keys, unlocked skins (non-achievement ones), MyAsylum gold and faction ranks still remain. ALL Asylum players, including staff are now starting from square one. Special shoutout to the wealthiest Asylum members and gangs from the last 10 years. These were the richest on the day prior to the wipe announcement: Top 10 players: Leroy Jenkins, $646,168,384 Big black submarine, $405,849,280 ALIVE, $239,951,056 NewYork, $212,533,568 Pollo Picoso[HFD], $134,245,856 Peter, $114,510,640 gesloten, $90,114,296 pablosexcobar, $90,048,480 FreePalestine, $82,359,416 haidao, $76,622,600 Top 10 gangs (gang bank): Envy, $47,018,000 Church Of Floyd, $20,000,000 Unknown, $16,300,800 Free Syrian Army, $15,715,000 NSF, $11,219,400 TFrench Mafia, $10,835,400 Dragons, $10,545,700 Neutral Violence, $9,700,000 Westside, $7,786,200 Fuzzy Dice, $7,609,080 Development additions:
We have recently made a couple of additions to the development team. Welcome @Pizza Man and @Infamous [FULL SEND] Added:
New phone All the old wallpapers have been removed and replaced with newer ones. The current selection options are more limited, but more wallpapers can be added in the future.  You can now set your own favorite apps by visiting the settings app and pressing "Select favorite apps" See screenshot below Added the Bergen backpack to clothing stores With a capacity of 112, it comes at a higher price than other backpacks Police SUVs and Police Hatchbacks now spawn with push bars and light bars Light bar example Push bar example Storage lockers are now available in all major cities Civilians are able to use these locations to store a small amount of virtual and physical items Items stored can be accessed from all other locations The storage lockers can hold up to 100 physical storage and 100 virtual storage across all locations  You can now see your group members and their health status on the left side of your screen Can be toggled in the phone settings The color of their name will depend on their health. You can also see their health percentage next their name (not a part of the example screenshot below) See example below Healing within vehicles You can now use blood bags and virtual FAKs while inside a vehicle. Performing certain actions will however cancel the bloodbag or first aid kit. Most NPCs now display a name and their role above them (e.g drug dealer, general store etc) See example below Interactive Gathering We have added back the OPTION to utilize interactive gathering methods to the server.  You can still gather by sitting there and scrolling, but if you want to gain some extra speed in the field, then you can gather interactively. All of the items that spawn regenerate after a certain amount of time. Weed Weed plants now spawn in the field, scroll wheel near them and harvest the plant. Heroin Poppy plants now spawn in the field, scroll wheel near them to harvest the plant. Quarries Rocks now spawn at the quarries, run over and pick them up to get their minerals. High Yield quarries give an increased yield of iron and diamonds than regular quarries. Small grey rocks give you copper Black rocks give you iron White rocks give you diamonds Excavation Some of the most popular shipwreck locations have begun to leak valuable loot.  You can open these crates up to get the loot. All items have all of the objects in the loot table. Barrels have an increased likelihood of spawning gold nuggets and bars Wooden crates have an increased change of pearls and processed oil Black crates have an increased probability of all items Cocaine The cocaine pit has returned, jog your life away while listening to that ever satisfying, SLOSH SLOSH SLOSH Run in circles in the cocaine pit at the coke field to gather faster Unmarked pizza shops in the spawn towns You can now purchase a cheese, pepperoni, Hawaiian, or supreme pizza plus several other items from this shop. If you are prepared with a stolen/registered/unregistered vehicle, you can take on a pizza delivery job from the shop owner. Although if you are late to deliver the pizza, there will be consequences. Suicide vests with bigger impact have made their way into Altis. They can be purchased at rebel outposts at a higher price. Suicide vest: Same as always Bomb vest: 1.5x explosion MOAB vest: 2x explosion Being in war with someone will now display an icon next to their name If someone is red to you, an icon will now be displayed next to their name Sea turtles and oysters have found a new location near Molos, North East of Sofia In addition, a new boat shop has been established near Molos Wong's Food & Liquor has expanded their trades to Sofia When searching a player as a cop, the player's associated gang will now be displayed The amount of cops online is now displayed in your phone settings Added the "All Clear" app for the police Instead of marking illegal areas manually with the current minute after a search, police can instead use this app. The marked illegal areas will have a different color on the map (for police only) if it has been searched/marked. The app will also show a timer for the time remaining until the area can be searched again. The fields can be re-marked or completely reset, be sure to still follow APD policy. Domination Admin Event During the course of a restart on server one an admin now has the ability to activate a short domination match Fight for glory on the Altis Drug Peninsula You will have one hour to get as many points as possible Capture one/any of the three flags on the peninsula Gain 10 points every 20 seconds of holding the flags. Payment is received for any of the top 3 gangs, and/or at admin discretion based on # of players, total points, etc. Kills garner double BM during the event May the best gang win! Changed:
