An Asylum Update:
Server 2 is now online. As was posted before it was taken offline all houses you owned previously on S2 will still be there if you didn't sell and have had their leases extended by 30 days.  We are still evaluating an uptime schedule for it. If both servers continue to have a healthy population you will likely see it online majority of the time.
 
AFD: If you missed it Congratulations to @Bread who has taken over the Chief role of the AFD. They will have an announcement in the coming days regarding a new Assistant Chief. @Sky Thank you for all the time you put into the AFD as Chief and before. From the start of the AFD sky was a major help in getting the faction off the ground and to where it is today.
 
APD: effective today we have removed the role of Chief of Police. Thank you @Samperino for your service.  Samp will continue to be an admin and hold the rank of retired captain. As was done with the AFD we will be transitioning the APD into a non admin led faction. The plan right now is to continue to have Darkknight and Rafael run the day to day operations of the APD and not bring on an additional captain. That said I will be temporarily coming out of retirement to help see them both through this phase. They will still be handling all the normal cpt duties with myself being available if and when they need me as they take on the additional COP responsibilities. In regards to the APD and server 2 they will not be splitting into PCTs and will just run 1 APD over both servers. 
As Jesse posted in the last update thread today SWAT is still very much in the works but had been pushed back a bit to get S2 online.
 
Support Apps will be opened on Friday 4/3. A post will go up in the afternoon with a format/location to post your applications. We wish you the best of luck!
 
As to the future dev plans there are some new and interesting ideas floating around. Hopefully we'll have more to share with you regarding those in the coming weeks. In the meantime keep submitting your ideas on the suggestion and feedback topic we regularly check there for community driven content.

Stratis would attract new players. It is an easy map for new players, plus it's something that not many communities have anymore.
Everyone spam Mitch with pictures of stratis:

Its seems alot of people want to see OG Stratis ( With Meth ) come back. My 0.002$ is why not make it Straits, it seems like this 2nd server isnt really going to be focused on as a real server but only a back-up when S1 is full. Which brings up the question how many will S2 populate 25, 50 people maybe ? Thats a whole lot of island ( Altis ) for a small number of people running around. With Straits its a small to mid range Island perfect for those looking to get themselves into quick and chaotic fights or make some quick money while you wait for S1 to lower in numbers. If Stratis where to get added I would advise having no helicopters being such a smaller island compaired to is bigger brother Altis. Also having all of the drugs added Meth, Coke, Heroin and Weed. Along with Cartel zones, Rebel outposts, Cop HQ's, Prison and a Bank of course. 
     
Again this is just my thoughts on the matter. Id love to see Stratis make a return to Asylum

3 Uncommon Items and 2 Rare Items in order of Rarity; least to most.
New System for Common items will be in place starting from this crate. The 4 previous Common slots will now be replaced with 'Bust'. If you land on a bust you will not receive an item. 2+ of the same bust will lead to a credit back to your account, and will act as a duplicate. There are 4 individual Bust slots, so if you hit Bust 1 and then Bust 2, this is not a duplicate. If you hit Bust 2 twice+ then this would be a duplicate and you would receive a credit to your account.
The Active Pursuit Hatchback is APD Only.
Feedback is welcome.

Everyone is talking about Stratis and it reminded me of a video that dates back to Feb 2015, 5 years ago. I was still on my very noob days but I can't forget how fun that time was.
It ain't much and the recording ain't the best but it shows a bunch of noobs like me deciding to gather and attack Stratis' HQ. The whole thing is a big nostalgia but I set the video to 7:40 to when we get close to raiding it:

a second altis server would just divide the people who play on s1 if u make another map (stratis) you would get dedicated players to that map specifically
stratis is better then altis in every way too

This patch contains the January, February, March and April Donation goal development list, as well as additional fixes and additions.
Limited Time Offerings:
Due to the lengthy amount of time this has taken to get released, the rewards will be active for more than 30 days. The rewards will be removed probably late May. We will update you when the time gets closer. Seasonal Donation Goal Rewards Increased sell prices of Processed Cocaine and Cut Diamonds by 30%. Increased duration of RedGull effect to 6 minutes. Increased the carry weight of a Carryall backpack to 120 from 96. Added:
Permanent house keys. Can only be given/revoked by the house owner. Both players need to be nearby the house when giving the keys out Will show these owners when cops search houses. Cops can now search houses if the owner is offline and the house is being used by a permanent key holder Max of 10 additional key holders per building. Virtual and Physical Storage to Garages. The maximum storage is 250 physical and 325 virtual. Tractor Farming for drug, apple, and peach fields. Tractors will auto gather items at a 3x speed when driven inside an these areas. Tractor storage has been increased to 150. Added Titles Accessed via the y-menu. Can only have 1 title active at a time. There is a settings option to toggle on/off titles from displaying. More titles to come once we get some more data tracking going on. Added vehicle mod shop to vehicle garages Vehicle must be in your garage to modify it. Custom plates should not be of offensive nature, you may be held liable for the things you put on your plate just like you do in sidechat. More customization options and values to come soon. This is a starting trial run for the stuff to see how it pans out. Re-added virtual loot to rebel air drop. Redeployment Menu for APD and AFD. Go to any HQ to redeploy to a new one. Same rules apply as if you were soft logging. Added subscriber vehicle skins to Undercover. Added a "Let me out!" option for APD at the prison. Cannot be used while a prison break is active. Will teleport you to a different spot than the one civilians get teleported to. Medical supply crates. Act as a mobile medical shop for all factions with increased buy prices. Can be purchased by AEMT+ at any AFD airshop. Can be brought into fights via sling-loading and cargo loading. Can be destroyed by any faction to prevent infinite use. Impound option for AEMT+ (similar to the APD one, no seizing). Red/white smokes to AEMT+. Medical supply airdrops. Called in via AFD actions. Added a hint style notification for who restrained you. 4 new animations, usable with the !e command (e.g !e Hi). "Hi" - Gives a Wave. "NuhUh" - Waggles Finger like a teenager in a movie. "Nod" - A Nod. "Stop" - Holds hand out (Same as hi just a bit lower). Animations on key binds for Advanced RP'ers. Certain Animations/Emotes can now be bound via custom controls. We hope to see these used to enhance role-play. All the below require a gun in hand to work. All below emotes can be done while moving/running without slowing you down. Custom 16 - Cease Fire (Subscriber Only). Custom 17 - Nod Yes (Public). Custom 18 - Nod No (Public). Custom 19 - Point (Public). Custom 20 - Halt/Stop (Public). Note: Toggle Lethal's (APD Only) has been moved to custom control 7. Re-added slingloaded cargo safety parachute with Airborne talent. Talent needed for civilians, APD and AFD get this automatically. Increased height to 100m to activate parachute. Added personal parachutes to APD/AFD helicopters. Re-added the use of Processed Cocaine and its effects. Cop: finding cash with traces of narcotics will give prestige. Changed/Tweaked:
Client performance improvements. LTs/Paramedics will now only open and close doors instead of unlock and lock them. Heavily reduced radiation screen effect with gas masks equipped. Limited the amount of parachutes inside the Hummingbird to 4 to allow them to be swapped with backpacks. Prevented the Rebel Airdrop from being moved around with vehicles. Updated APD Hunter skin credit to @bbgreg17 Changed AFD emergency lights to red and white. Changed AFD map markers to be the same as civilian/cop. The respawn button will now enable if the responding medic dies enroute. Picking up illegal items (such as bank money) while on cop will put them into a nearby police car where they will have to be seized at an HQ. Gang houses should appear faster after restart for most people. Fixed:
Fixed some spelling mistakes. Fixed vehicles with gold bars being sling-loadable. Fixed being able to do certain actions while downed. Fixed Rebel virtual shop purchase cut being sent to Drug instead of Arms Cartel. Fixed group members being able to un-restrain you without a gun in hand.
