Not gonna pretend I'm not extremely new to the server, but began playing because I used to play Olympus around 2 years ago, started arma again and wanted something different. I can't sit here and say "I clearly know better than the admins, hear hear I'm smarter than all of you" because I know for a fact the admins have their reasons, even if we don't necessarily know them. However I have to agree with this guy. Recently I've been getting on to play and server 1 is always 120/120, having to spam to get in, and right next to it I see an uncapped Olympus server, ready to be joined. Thinking from the perspective of a player who has no house, no money, and is choosing between what server to start out on, Olympus or Asylum, the choice is made for them when Olympus has a free server and Asylum doesn't. Once they get established, get their house, get their money, etc. they don't want to swtich, let alone want to sit through server spamming to switch.
I'm worried that even though I'm new, I may be watching the death of Asylum infront of me if this is truly what would happen. However, like I said, the admins clearly have their reasons, they aren't dumb, and so I'm going to hold my breath. I'm sure they are thinking intelligently when making large decisions like this, we just have to watch and see how it goes.
The seatbelt option has been removed and the damage reduction is always applied. Many new changes since found here: https://www.gaming-asylum.com/forums/index.php?/forum/16-patch-notes/
What's up friends.
Boris here, your local Insanity gang member with an above average shot and absolutely no idea how to fly an orca.
I'm sure many of you have noticed Asylum changing into a more fight-orientated server, with less and less banks/prisons, and more NA time cartels complete with exploding ifrits, DDoS in the middle of a fight, and Alt-F4'ing after being shot off window rocks.
Boris misses the old days. When Lirik would bring massive server traffic, or when FSA would kidnap people and make roleplay videos. Maybe roleplaying a fed with BB on S3, or just straight up getting into Kavala shenanigans. Hell, I originally joined the police force because a cop was roleplaying taking someone's weed for personal use, it was funny, and I wanted to get in on that. I don't remember his name, it was almost 2 years ago, but still, the memory is there.
So i'm doing something about it. I dropped my MK18, took off my ghillie suit, and stuck on a straw hat and backpack. Then I went to Kavala and I started looking for people to roleplay with.
And it's been a huge success.
In 24 hours i've...
1)Gone on a weed field trip with SnappedPOX and Denise, 2 fresh players.
2)Watched TRAV get pistolbanged out of his hummingbird in the weed field.
3)Watched Snapped shoot Denise in the head for making too much noise at the drug dealer.
4)Dodged cops through the city of Kavala with a rook and a dream.
5)Turned an offroad of weed into a box truck of heroin with a chain smoking russian who loves to steal things.
And it's been the kind of fun that I used to have when I first found Asylum.
I'm not telling everyone to take a step back in time, but just try it, don't roll around with your gang, clear your bounty, grab some civ clothes and interact with people you meet. Try and get a cop to give you a ride, kidnap people and force them to accept 10k in exchange for murdering someone, either create or join interesting roleplay scenarios for you and new players.
Every new player you create roleplay scenarios for could become the next admin, captain, or community manager, and you could be the person who makes that happen.
So go out and have fun with new players, old players, or just have fun in general. Forget about money, forget about cartels and gangs and bounties, just roleplay and have fun.
