OMG-A-FISH

no, this is the REAL way how to stop rebels at the bank

Okay, who is this post for? Who is this post supposed to convince? Anyone who is against the idea of deleting one or two servers from Asylum
Let's begin by getting the idea that Asylum is the best out of your head, get the idea that Asylum is winning out of your head, numbers are low, numbers don't lie.
Here take a quick look at the average players of Olympus compared to Asylum
Information was taken on 9/16/2017 (Saturday, at 1:05 PM Eastern Time)
Olympus #1 Average (past month): 62 Players                  | Asylum #1 Average (past month): 45 Players                 | Asylum #4 Average (past month): 30 Players
Olympus #2 Average (past month): 40 Players                  | Asylum #2 Average (past month): 25 Players
Olympus #3 Average (past month): 38 Players                  | Asylum #3 Average (past month): 26 Players
Total average players that play Olympus: 140 Players
Total average players that play Asylum: 126 Players
If we take a look at these numbers, honestly there's not such a huge difference besides individual servers... The reason in my opinion Olympus is doing better on individual servers is if we look at them it's because they have less servers at the moment if I wanted to do a meth run, why would I go on a server with like 90 people when I see another one with 20? Olympus knew that Altis Life was/is dying so they're likely trying to keep their server count low to keep more people packed into less servers meaning you're more likely to see people doing shit (Fighting, doing drugs, and etc.)
 
What led to Olympus taking the crown (Getting more players)?
In my opinion, this happened due to two main reasons. (listed below)
- Insane BattleEye Kicks at a certain time in Asylum's Life
- Lack of content updates
Moving from Olympus to Asylum or vice versa is a difficult task, since one has defibs and whitelisted medics and the other does not. It's a big fundamental change in the way you play the game so when the BattleEye kicks began on Asylum and some people quit and moved to Olympus even if they wanted to come back now what would they get from it, basically nothing. This is why we need more content updates not for the current players but content patches to convince players to come back. I remember when I was banned I went to Olympus and tried it out but I just couldn't stand it was to annoying to play without having a defib and just the overall idea of it I hated.

I saw a Tweet from Arma 3 claiming they're going to fix the BattleEye kicks in the next update, if this is the case I suggest that Asylum has a huge batch of content updates in that time and even possibly remove one or two servers because it's more likely that we'll never fill them again Altis life is not where it was before, it's dying. People will just use them to make money on which will take away population from the other servers.
To sum it up, removing servers and having one less or two less servers will have more people be on the one or two servers left increasing our population will increase us on lists of servers which is likely to also increase our population and if we're doing good again maybe add a server back. The reason everyone is so spread out is because there's no reason for them to be on one server, they're spread out to make money without any conflict.

Well lets look at it this way. The wait for 8.0 was over 4-5 months and what did we get? rotating drug fields and crank. To me 5 months of work for that does not seem adequate. It ruined the housing market and turned everyone's houses into shit.  They didn't listen to what the community wanted which resulted in good people leaving. After that everyone saw how everything was going to shit and took off with them. I love Asylum, I played it for 3-4 years and love every day I played it. But now its just getting dumb and seems pointless to play anymore.

After a good 2-3 years of being a part of this community I feel like it is time to say goodbye. I really don't have much to say but I feel like I have to name some people who helped me through my time here.

To start off, @Dork I would like to thank you for helping me that one night in kavala when you took me to cartels to collect money after you made me put all my money on the lotto, that opened my eye to gang life.

You yearn for the day of people stealing bounties and you get nothing I guess?  I'm entertaining creating a radius for payouts, but the split is a good thing overall. 

I see a forum post about this same shit everyday so ima just call dibbs on posting this tomorrow.. gotta get me some likes too ya feel?

This aint a place for hand holding you used the scope to kill cops, its beyond me someone would allow you to save it. Also it costs less than 1k for the love of god. That got me so pissed yesterday.

@Mayhem That shits works like a charm.

Patrick Swayze has entered the game.
Orca has left the game.

THIS WAS MY POINT OF VIEW

THIS WAS MY HELI! FUCK! 

RIP

Dont tell anyone kick the all late at night steal the gang bank and change you're name on steam in game and also wipe the ts but keep the logs to restart it later so you dont have to do all the work again 

In order for cops and rebels to fuck with you the servers actually need to be populated.
