First time back here in a LONG TIME, just came here to say high and to ask what is going on with the community and the servers. It looks like Asylum is down to three servers and none of them are ever fully populated like, say, Olympus servers (servers which I always believed to be far INFERIOR altis life gaming servers, with an accompanying, low-tier community...) :ppp So what is the deal with Asylum? Are any of the old folks from 2013-2014-2015 still around??? Did they all just leave out of boredom? Are they all anxiously awaiting the release of Identity (which I have also already purchased and been aware of since its earliest debut). DOES ANYONE PLAY ASYLUM ANYMORE??? IS IT DEAD (in all seriousness, if you guys are hiding the real, fully populated servers from me, I am gonna be mad...>:ppp )????

Tanoa gets its own Law Enforcement Agency, with weapons.

I wouldn't play Asylum if they turned into hardcore RP. If you want RP like that, go play at a modded community (however, beware, most modded communities are toxic as hell and not even fun like Asylum can be). However, what would be great is if Asylum struck an adequate middle ground. The rules should be relaxed as they are now. You should be able to be a troll and do whatever if you want as long as you are not breaking the server. However, some elements of the game need to have higher standards. Im talking about whitelisted roles. Cops and EMS should be whitelisted roles. (This has been said a billion times by many people, and it is always disregarded with a huff and a sneer). Cops should HAVE TO abide by a more demanding RP standard. I'm talking about only getting player names from RP interaction (reading an ID or pretend finger print scanning them while detained, etc etc). Cops should HAVE TO have actual probable cause in order to initiate interactions such as traffic stops and detentions (seeing someone on the wanted list SHOULD NOT be probable cause, but metagaming, that is no fun!). A cool feature that would aid this would be to only make the police wanted list available for officers only inside of PDs, so that way, the ability to always instantly check an up to date wanted list is removed. And make it so that in the field, officers have to interact with a player through their scroll menu, click something like "ID suspect" and then once that is done, they can return to their vehicle, get inside, and use the scroll wheel menu to use a function called something like "Check For Player(s) in Database" which will return info stating the players current bounty amount and most serious charges (i.e. murder, theft, etc). This way, officers can still see players names so they can report them on the forums when need, however, it will also force even the most lazy cop to do some work in order to catch a bounty. Only EMS should get direct access to medical supplies ( rebels could get access to more expensive "blackmarket" medical supplies at rebel base in order to work with their talents so they can still revive friends in battle if no medic is around, this would also give a reason for gangs to stock pile medical supplies). EMS should never heal criminals before cops. They are government employees! However, criminals can always RP forcing a medic to heal them or a friend, or they can even RP robbing the medic of their medical supplies!

Well, I guess RP will never get better on Asylum then, you're right, screw it.

Only way RP gets better on Asylum is if they raise cop RP standards and add in more legal roleplay with the governor position. It would be cool if players could elect councils to write and amend laws for certain things. Also, a long, long time ago, I remember Paratus or someone mentioning something about adding in a feature where players could buy property and convert them into businesses. Never happened. I guess they figured all the RDM, KOS, and trolling was enough to keep us occupied indefinitely.

no

Sort of be.....Never really was that way since the bar to be a cop on Asylum is so low, its practically non-existent. IMO, bounty hunters have always been cops just with shittier game mechanics working for them. Now, bounty hunters are cops. Period. Its official. The devs want to phase out APD! Might as well get rid of medics of too, no one uses them anyhow (not sure why they ever introduced them without whitelisting in the first place).

I just shot myself in the head after reading this. Just for the lols.

APD is more useless now than ever before. Great Job! Keep up the good work officers!

So, basically, Asylum gameplay has become even more insane. Fantastic.
