Kicking a dead horse at this point, but something is definitely going wrong. The fact majority of the people I've spoken to have actually given up on Asylum for the time being to go to Olympus because its impossible to make any money without the server killing itself is becoming too much. At first it seemed like cartels were the primary cause of server lag, then banks / feds & now I don't even know other than the server hosting or something going wrong in some sort of script that keeps running causing the server to run out of memory ? Maybe the boxes are just kicking the dust? All I'm saying is at this point people don't care about updates or anything because updates don't matter when the servers are actually unplayable ; as we speak I'm filling out a comp request, I believe my third one inside two days with attempting to make money , but it going up in smoke because the servers decide to crash randomly. The report I'm filling out as we speak (uploading youtube video) is purely server lag, we lost one hemmt of meth to "desync" from a vehicle 2km away, the server was on a steady solid yellow chain for roughly 30 minutes prior to me messaging an admin to force restart, upon doing so it throwing the other 3 of us in hemmts full of meth from methlab all the way back to hydrogen fields (north meth lab above athira) with our hemmts despawned, not to mention the server was fully locked up we had 4 other people disconnect because of the lag yet we remained seeing them in Ephedra field until the force restart. Granted this is one instance that I'm mentioning now, but here's a couple other of things to look into, and no shade nor disrespect is intended, but right now Olympus offers something asylum doesn't; stability. Asylum has everything better than Olympus, but what are you supposed to do when you can't make any money , or fight, or pull an ifrit to attempt to push a cartel , or an orca to pick up your people, all of which constantly cause people to lose their shit with no way of replacing it because its "near" impossible to even run money in its current state. We can only imagine what newer people we want to keep to these servers are thinking, "YES! I finally can afford a hemmt box truck after I sell all these processed diamonds!" *No message recieved; Logs back in ; Everythings gone - time wasted* "WTF! Fuck this server!" So if we can't maintain to keep our veteran players who I feel like are the main backbones of this community nor can we keep newer players who will help rebuild what Asylum once was, then whats going to happen? It can only lead us to speculate that its potentially intentional or there's some serious internal issues going on within the dev/admin team.
We need to start being herd , we need to start digging and figuring out what exactly is going on to continously cause server crashes and instability. If new server hosting (as much as y'all swear up and down its not it, whats it hurt to try) is out of the question purely of expenses , put up a fundraiser / goal; I can am almost positive if you said this is a strong possibility of fixing whats going on , we would come together as a community to start patching up the shitstorm thats brewing into the final blow of Asylum.
P.S : I know you all have lives as well as holidays right now but we seriously need to start getting things going in the right direction to save this community.
