Hello all,
With the holiday break happening after the recent ownership change, I believe a ton has happened. I wanted to take an opportunity to update the community on our recent progress, and where we are headed. 
First, with the creation of the new Development team, it's amazing to see the amount of work they have been putting in behind the scenes. There is constant communication between the team, and each person is working hard in their respective areas. I can easily say that the recent patch is a huge win for the community. However, we all recognize that there is still progress to be made. With that being said, it's reassuring that we all have an idea of where we are headed; greatness! Currently, we are working on diagnosing some various issues, and communication from the development team will keep you posted on their progress. I ask that any time you see a request to fill various servers that as a community we can pull together to make the devs lives just a little bit easier. We gain troves of data from these tests. 
 
The Administration team is doing great. We are working hard to refine how we operate on our end, and things seem to be going well. The new Muderators (Mods) are learning quickly. To be honest, they learn faster when you send them more messages. It keeps a steady stream of information flowing into their inboxes. Keep it up!
The support team apps are now closed, and the admins are voting on the respective applications. Keep an eye on your inboxes for a message from Leady. 
The entire team cannot thank the community enough for your continued patience during these server performance issues. We realise that it's incredibly frustrating to deal with these issues. I just want you to know that it's not in vain, and you are doing us all of service. 
 
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out! 
Until next time,
Mitch 
 
 

HAPPY NEW YEAR AND A BLESSED 2019
yeah good first there mate

A lot of changes, a lot of growing and a lot of testing....
 
Cheers to everyone who is sticking with us through some difficult times.  
 
We wish you a happy, healthy and prosperous 2019.

People still play asylum??

ur memes are shit 

I was thinking about picking this game back up... however, both these posts have reminded me why I should stay away. 

Hey guys, k1w1z here from Peach Cartel. coming back for a while 

That popular demand has been a thing for a few months now. Might be a little late now.

@Lorax

With gang wars coming up guys..I will be selling 3 of these water cooled routers! Please message me if you are interested, these babies are unstoppable.

 

Let the DDoS battle begin!

Imagine being that retarded with money

Imagine removing double-stacking from the community rewards and replacing it with "Qillin will have 150 inventory space"

3 months and armor stacking is still a “reward” 

why do you think people buy money, everyone been "grinding" forever Reapeared..hell alot of us dont even play anymore, the majority of the population has always been gangs, ..gangs have been secluded and nerfed and not updated hardly ever people are so dedicated to Asylum and have put up with the server crashing, lag, no updates this community has been so loyal, waited, we've all donated something at one point, community goals still being donated towards..& then devs, admins, people come on here "IdK wHy U guYs aaRe ComMplAininG?!?!?!?!"..i've always thought it's a bit unfair that the servers ideas, changes, updates are put in place and mandated by people who don't even play and haven't played in ages, they should hoenstly just make things more laid back and give people what they want, i mean honestly what could it hurt, but then it wouldn't even matter, the server performance has been on the downside since june 2016, i've posted several times what to do ... run the servers with a small default altis life mission file, along with blank default altis life SQL tables, make everything free (obviously still asylum rules in place & cops whitelist in place, admins, etc)tell everyone to come on and cause havoc to stress test it...if the servers still lag therre lies an issue with the hosting, IF NOT..there is some issues with the mission file & database, arma 3 is dying more and more everyday, not sure why bamf and gnashes think this oldschool hard core, "RP" "Grind": is going to work, literally everything rebel/gang wise has been changed where cops have it easier..Banks changed/moved..Jail changed, moved, reworked, changed, moved, community had to go on strike and bitch and complain for months for it to be changed..it seems the only way changes are made is if the community bitches for 6 months...hencea gain "IdK wHy U guYs aaRe ComMplAininG?!?!?!?!"
 
ive still came on here to read & see what has been changed because this server has always had a place, i have met alot of great friends and made alot of memories on here i've typed up alot of stuff and not said it , but i just had to say this, this is not me bitching, this is not me complaining, this is me stating my two sense on everything , i still wish this server the best of luck..i had overpoch /epoch servers in arma 2, i was the same way, didn't want to make things fun/easy/ didn't listen, made things only my way...one community i made died...tried it again, listening to everyone, working with the community..made it fun, simple, you give it a little it goes a long way...long story short i made around $9,000 in donations and had a great run, 2 100 slot servers full for months, arma 2 streamers playing on my servers...hell you guys might as well start clean...WIPE the ban list. mock up a new mission file..pay Poseidon to do his thing & whoever. and actually give some slack, you are going to have to make some change guys, you have very little people left. everyone else is fed up, banned, quit caring because server not making any changes & got banned cause they didn't care...quit, or left to go to olympus...and saying "IDC GO TO OLYMPUS THEN!! IF ITS SO MUCH BETTER!!!!!!!!!!" is definitely not what you should be saying , not directed at anyone specifically but i've read it..anyway i am tired of typing and probably ONCE AGAIN wasting my time even bothering..hello to all my old friends & hope everyone is good..

there is way more things to do as far as making money, illegal and legal the map is distributed very evenly, where every part of the map is used actively..
there is more rebels, including "Warzone Rebel" which is east arms, and they sell Olympus version of a mini defib.."Epi Pen" which revives your teammate and they have a "dopamine" timer, so you must either get healed by a medic or go to a hospital..currently they are releasing a longer timer, or defib? not 100%
loadouts & vehicles are much cheaper , as it is much easier to make money, you can get an orca and a turtle backpack and make around 500k in one meth run....., (two loadouts for fighting) in relatively 20-25 minutes, where as it takes quite a bit of work to make that on Asylum as the cops check drug areas 24/7 and there is no timer or wave rules to return, as for Olympus there is
an orca costs around 500k i think and once you put the 150k insurance on it, it's 150k each time you lose it with insurance..
that's 50k asylum for an orca, then 15k each time you crash it basically..but asylum orcas used to be 120-200k, which is 2million relatively olympus money...(fucking joke) literally thats 7-8 dollars $$ us for one vehicle, if i bought that on olympus you could get around 7-9 loadouts , or loadouts, heli, ifrit, all in one..the groups have no cap limit, there will literally be 3-4 gangs with 10-20 people each fighting for hours on end and there is not one single bit of lag you can claim ifrits you win at fights, they have gang sheds... 
 
THERE IS NO FREEZERS AT THE CARTEL..if you own it, the money goes into your gang bank
honestly the logic behind the freezers at the moment is broken..the admins don't see it how rebels do because they don't get on the server & go cap it..there is honestly no reason to get the cartel unless the freezer is full with 100k..so people dont even bother half the time..yeah let me go sit at the cartel for 30 minutes...then wait 30mins-1hour or however long it is for the money to fill up, fly my orca to the cartel...server kicks you off, you lose your orca & all the freezers are reset...and then when you finally do get there without getting kicked, there is some guy there with a fucking rook and kills you when you take the money , they even made it where you can't put it in your vehicle anymore back then! what a joke! people can watch you take the money out and wait at rebel..Mass kicks started happening...you'd think we'd be rewarded for dealing with it so calmly and trusting the process..but no, they nerf the firearm factory, making it where you need salt..they nerf drug running..they nerf scotch where you have to refresh your crates, they raise taxes on ifrits, orcas and if i'm not mistaken guns, they nerf panagia gun crafting & also nerf orca crafting...literally the only way to make money is doing meth..which is usually camped, or cops showing up every 10 minutes, all the bitching and moaning about everyone on server 5 when there is literally barely any ways to make fucking money anymore and they wonder why everyone just went there to make money?..
 
their fed pays up to 4-10million i think? which is 400k-1m Asylum money
they have blackwater..where you can get DMS scope, mar10,tons more and attachments, csats, armed quillin, striders, hunters, armed blackhawk..and you can sell these to other player or keep them
they have a war point shop , selling csats(you cannot donate for them by the way)
 
honestly im tired of naming things because the list goes on that they have that Asylum doesn't because it's honestly frustrating, we've all been so loyal to Asylum, we've all introduced so many ideas, they are  just all shut down...i mean server 2 was down for ages and there was no warning or post about it..we literally had to find out from a gyazo of a discord chat...(lul) 
 
Asylum needs to hire a coder at this point..They definitely have the money..If Paratus actually gave a flying fuck about the thousands of people who donated to Asylum and donated to his new game he would do something about all this..Literally we are the sole reason he has all that money, must be nice..It's time for the staff to take a step back, admit the server is failing, do something about server 2 & 3..literally people have worked to get houses and setups on there for years...and you just take it away like it's nothing..."Ahh they will be alright, they'll adjust.." that's like taking your code for idenity paratus that you worked on for years and just deleting it...I don't think you'd like that very much...I owned several arma 2 overpoch servers that were semi-successful i earned around $7500 dollars in donations in the first 6 months, I tried to expand and did things my way and ignored my community...long story short it died because I didn't listen to my players..just a friendly warning

why do you think people buy money, everyone been "grinding" forever Reapeared..hell alot of us dont even play anymore, the majority of the population has always been gangs, ..gangs have been secluded and nerfed and not updated hardly ever people are so dedicated to Asylum and have put up with the server crashing, lag, no updates this community has been so loyal, waited, we've all donated something at one point, community goals still being donated towards..& then devs, admins, people come on here "IdK wHy U guYs aaRe ComMplAininG?!?!?!?!"..i've always thought it's a bit unfair that the servers ideas, changes, updates are put in place and mandated by people who don't even play and haven't played in ages, they should hoenstly just make things more laid back and give people what they want, i mean honestly what could it hurt, but then it wouldn't even matter, the server performance has been on the downside since june 2016, i've posted several times what to do ... run the servers with a small default altis life mission file, along with blank default altis life SQL tables, make everything free (obviously still asylum rules in place & cops whitelist in place, admins, etc)tell everyone to come on and cause havoc to stress test it...if the servers still lag therre lies an issue with the hosting, IF NOT..there is some issues with the mission file & database, arma 3 is dying more and more everyday, not sure why bamf and gnashes think this oldschool hard core, "RP" "Grind": is going to work, literally everything rebel/gang wise has been changed where cops have it easier..Banks changed/moved..Jail changed, moved, reworked, changed, moved, community had to go on strike and bitch and complain for months for it to be changed..it seems the only way changes are made is if the community bitches for 6 months...hencea gain "IdK wHy U guYs aaRe ComMplAininG?!?!?!?!"

Was agreeing with you until this.
 

It hurts my brain to think about server changes that the community wants and the devs are unwilling to even try them out. 
Everyone wanted the rotor script removed and now that its gone I have not seen a single complaint. 
Gangs wanted cartel auto deposit back and so far only a few lone wolf players have spoke up. 
Everyone wanted the taru usable without advanced flight and so far I have not seen a single complaint.
 
Those are some good examples of the community wanting a simple change and the devs relenting for so long over nothing.
The community has been vocal in the past about wanting group cap/money cap removed. As well as ifrit/orca cost reduction or the reintroduction of insurance. 
A prison redesign/back to pre 6.0
New cartel locations for oil/wongs.
 
None of that is hard to do and would mean a lot to the community

Wiping the ban list entirely will not be good. There are way too many skids that would be script killing everyone, but I'll assume you were talking about the few people that have been banned for either 3rd parties or the occasional perm that was truly unjust. I think if you unbanned Tiger, Jwilly, Aidzo, etc you would only be helping so much. Most of those guys don't have interest in Arma anymore. A lot of good things have happened to Asylum in the last few months, the only thing that I wish was different is that it all happened at the very latest this time last year. However if you unbanned those people who have been wrongfully banned (I'm not necessarily talking about 3rd parties we all know there are people who are permed and should not be, they are just far and few in between.
Above all else the one way I will compare Asylum to Olympus is when we are talking about server performance. If Poseidon or just someone (who fucking cares at this point who it is) fixes the last bit of script inefficiencies within the mission Asylum has a much better chance. I like the Rebel Talent Tree, I think it's a great addition to Asylum but again, this should have happened last year. Aside from additional Development work, what Asylum could use is a honest and unbiased as possible admin/Dev/whatever to decide who is cheating in game and who is not. People have been 3rd partied in the past and frankly I don't think they were cheating I don't expect them to get unbanned, however to prevent future issues someone who TRULY understands the combat in Arma and the way the game works should be appointed to this position. I'm not saying he should have a fascist-like rule over the decision but there are a handful of admins that are frankly bad (I'm not saying I'm a legend) and they have the power to ban people without definitive evidence.

This man just typed the realist shit I have ever seen. If this isn't taken into consideration its over.
