Going to quote myself,
 
The cartel shouldn't have a cooldown. You guys are watching non-stop cartel fighting for the first time in almost two years in this server's history and you decided to revert the one change that made it happen. Cooldowns only stop fights or make people stop fighting because they're locked out of having FUN on the server. Fighting groups play this server to FIGHT, not go AFK at a drug processor.

Hotfix #4:
Re-added the HEMTT Fuel truck Removed a duplicate garage in Athira Fixed rubber not generating correctly from the oil cartel Removed/updated alcohol recipes at the spirit destillery Added 5 more civilian slots Removed the "Whitelisted" text from medic slots. Everyone now has access to EMR on medic, but the faction staff is able to remove you if necessary. Windows of the first ATM building at the bank can now be shot out properly. Lowered some of the sidewalks in Pyrgos Removed repair kits, first aid kits and backpacks from spawning in cop and medic vehicles.

Hi all,
I have noticed a lot of uncertainty with the upcoming wipe and I would like to make a post to hopefully put those uncertainties to rest. I also intend on instilling the confidence that I have in this wipe to the rest of the community. As I have mentioned in a previous post, Asylum is at a state right now where getting on and seeing a 30 pop server is something to celebrate. Our developers have been trying furiously hard to pump content into the server that would allow player to have something to do in hopes of bringing more players onto the server. The problem is you cannot pump new content into a server where most of the active players are already at "end game." From an administrative perspective I have been able to see how players typically move on the map, and most of our playerbase do not go out and leave the spawn cities. If they do, they are typically fighting cops at federal events and then right back to sitting in Athira or log off once the cops do. For a server that is based around player vs player interaction, this is not healthy as it leaves nothing to do across the rest of the map. For this reason, a wipe would be the next best step to possibly bring back these player vs player interactions and learn from the previous mistakes that caused us to get to this point in server health. 
I do understand that losing years of stats, money, and houses can be frustrating for our current playerbase, but if we sit idle and do nothing, those aforementioned items mean nothing. For those who are concerned about this, you do have to realize our player count has been maxing out at 15 players some nights. We have kept pushing out content and listening to suggestions on what to add, remove, and change but content is not the current issue. I also understand that not wanting to grind is an issue. But I assure you that this wipe will make grinding a whole different and fun experience as it did with the test wipe.
Understanding this reasoning, you should be very excited and confident for this next wipe. A couple months back Asylum had done a test wipe (mentioned above) to see what a wipe would look like. We collected a significant amount of data and took in how the community had felt about the wipe. With this data, your voices, and what we experienced, we had learned A LOT which will allow us to move forward with this wipe in the most professional and organized way possible. We also saw in the wipe that the player vs player interactions that Asylum is based around were occurring allowing for an amazing wipe experience.
As I have said in a previous post, I have never seen our staff team more dialed in and connected in terms of having the SAs/CM and the developers on the same page. We have past Asylum greats throwing their hat in the ring working with our newer staff members to ensure that this is done correctly. We have people within the server staff team and outside of the server staff team working as well to give our server a face lift and a breath of fresh air. We have already announced a solid foundation for the wipe and cannot wait to get it out.
There are also many things to look forward to after the initial wipe. This wipe allows us to continue on as a community, staff team, APD staff team, and AFD staff team, and reflect on what had happened in the past and learn from this. This server has been around for years and this wipe offers us a solid base in terms of new beginnings allowing the community to grow and push forward reflecting on and learning from previous experiences. 
With this I hope to continue to hear your voices in TS and read your forums posts as the staff team works diligently to get this update/patch out. I would like to also hear and read any other concerns you guys may have after reading this that could possibly be answered. All eyes within the Arma 3 community are on us. Lets make this happen.
Thank you all for your dedication and loyalty and I hope to see you all in game.
Best,
Junke 🍌

It does suck to lose years of effort......but complaining about it is like complaining about losing my first class cabin on the titanic. If the ship is sinking, whats the difference?

I hope this wipe spawns new interest and server pop comes back. 

The dev's definitely busted their asses on this one
Great work!

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.
