Talent Points: Due to the adjustment we did for talent points, you will need to re-enter your talent points. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Donation Goal: We've added in 1 of the donation goal items in early simply due to how quickly you all helped us reach the goal. As a thank you, we've added in the lottery system immediately. The load-out system will come in early January.

Server 2: Server 2 will be getting shutdown at the end of the month. Sometime tonight we will re-open the server to allow any last minute selling off of items/houses/etc to be conducted for the remainder of the month. We will not compensate anything that is left past end of month. We feel having over a week to get your stuff moved/sold, will be satisfactory. Compensation is up to Mitch at the end of the day, this could be changed. At this time due to population constraints, we're just going to be focusing on the singular server. As this will also help reduce our month to month operating costs.
Added:
Blackjack at the casino. DP missions for medics. Start the mission at any npc that civilians can, it will be listed as "Organ Transplant" Oil barrel production. Works the same way as it did in V1. Prestige tree for cops. Prestige HAS BEEN RESET. This was a decision made by the Captains. Functionality for warrant, medic and undercover has returned.

I wanted to update you on what is currently going on with Asylum! After a couple hour conversation with the team of development, we have come up with this plan. Let’s take a look.
 
Talent Rework:
 
Our goal is to reduce the amount of talents we currently have in the server. When looking at the list. The development team and I found that there were far too many that didn’t need to be locked behind a talent. A great example of this is the defibrillator talent. I can't find a reason why you need to have that as a talent to revive someone. So, it’s gone. Listed below are the talents that are either removed, or changed.
Tweaked talents:
[1, civilian, -1, 0, "Vigilante", "Able to purchase Bounty Hunter license. Max bounty $50,000."],  (You will now be able to buy a BH license without a talent, but your bounty will be limited to 50k)
[8, civilian, 7, 4, "Master Bounty Hunter", "Access to civilian Hunter (Make Pull-able - Get APD to make as PC for pull over and check license.) Now, you can pull a hunter if you have one in your garage, and do not have this talent learned. However, it would then be considered an illegal vehicle and the APD will have the ability to seize it. 
 
Removed talents:
 
[9, civilian, -1, 0, "First Aid", "Can use blood bag to heal up to 80 health."],
[10, civilian, 9, 1, "First Aid Level B", "Can use blood bag to heal up to 90 health."],
[11, civilian, 10, 2, "First Aid Level C", "Can use blood bag to heal up to 100 health."],
[12, civilian, 9, 1, "Shocking", "Can revive an unconscious player with defibrillator."],
[13, civilian, 12, 2, "Jaws of Life", "Able to pull unconscious players from a vehicle."],
[15, civilian, -1, 0, "Unrestricted License", "Ability to buy the SUV, Hatchback (Sport), Box/Fuel Truck and Vans."],
[16, civilian, 15, 1, "Chauffeur License", "Receive taxi pick-up requests."], — removed due to not in use current mission  
[18, civilian, 15, 1, "Private Pilot", "Ability to buy and take out small helicopters."],
[27, civilian, -1, 0, "Rebel", "Able to buy Rebel License."],
[28, civilian, 27, 1, "Guerilla", "Able to buy and use ghillie suits."],
[29, civilian, 27, 1, "Marksman", "Able to buy and use 7.62mm rifles and ammunition.  (Can not have Master Bounty Hunter)."],
[37, civilian, -1, 0, "Citizenship", "Able to buy home owners license."],
[55, civilian, -1, 0, "Awareness", "See the location of group and gang members on your map."],
  [56, civilian, -1, 0, "Grand Theft Auto", "Able to pick locks of standard ground vehicles."],
[60, civilian, -1, 0, "Nourished", "Food and drink consumption reduced by 25%."],
[63, civilian, -1, 0, "Something Fishy", "Longer reach when catching fish by hand."],
 
These above listed talents in red are just going to be removed, and those abilities will be automatically afforded to you. It is my hope that less talents of this nature will make it easier for new people to start out, and participate in the action. Your new talent limit will be 19.

 
Donation Goal:
 
Tomorrow night, a system will be implemented into the main page of the forums. This will be a donation goal bar to show what percentage we are at for meeting the months goal. Each month, there will be a unique reward for meeting that months goal. These goal rewards will be available to everyone on the server. Key sales and personal donations will all count towards this goal. 
 
This months goal will consist of the following.
 
Saved load-outs:
 
For Cop and Civ, you will have the ability to save 3 load-outs at rebel and cop shop. You can save and change these at will. This system will apply this load-out to your character, and charge you accordingly. It’s our hope that this will allow you to get back into the fight faster, and reduce the amount of times you forget something!
 
Also included with this goal, is the return of the lottery system. For those of you that remember, this will act similar as it did before. You can play the lottery at any gas station, may the odds be ever in your favor!
 
What happens if you pass the donation goal? We have some nice extras we would like to also add that will be listed with the donation goal. 

 
Something to note, I did not start my ownership at Asylum with a full bank account ready to cover months of server cost. I am starting fresh. With that in mind, I want to ensure you guys are rewarded for your contributions to keep the lights on.
 
This donation goal is in addition to regular development. This was implemented to give everyone a common goal to work towards while rewarding you with additional items for everyone. 
 
Current Asylum Development 
 
 I have to be careful to not over promise and under deliver here. During my conversation tonight with the Devs. We have decided to get Cop prestige into the server. Azeh is currently working on the functionality behind that system implemented and ready for your use!  

 
Again, I really appreciate the outpouring of support you guys have given me is such a short amount of time. I am excited for the future, and I hope you are too!
