No plan to, but we are going to look at whitelisted medics, because that has been my dream for many years now.
Copy Olympus but improve on it. Dope crates they have over there are a good idea that I enjoyed dropping as a Sr medic.

My suggestion: Remove all semblance of connection to Paratus by changing the logo and maybe even the name down the line or appending it. Asylum is damaged goods and if @Jesseis seriously sticking around (which I have my doubts) then this would be a completely fresh start for Asylum 2.0 (hey there's your new name).
@BaDaBiNg_10-8 @Clint Beastwoodget rid of precincts, add that whitelisted medic faction we always wanted and bring on fresh APD Captains with term limits.

Start with firing all of staff and bringing fresh admins on. Get rid of the current APD captains and elect new ones that have term limits. Keep a very tight leash on admins so they don't get too comfortable like the current ones and if they go inactive, don't just let them come back and be an admin again. Asylum was corrupt from the top which trickled down, I would never let these retired admins back.
If you're serious about fixing Asylum i would start with the above and then find a few competent devs. Good luck I'll be watching from the sidelines with popcorn.

Confirmed: Identity has more than two people on staff. Listen to this retard make excuses for Identity: https://www.twitch.tv/mikethebard

Good news everyone! Now that Paratus has successfully finished his work on identity, he will be returning to Asylum to continue development. The first patch will introduce new loot boxes where you can buy posters for $70 and hang them in your house! But that's not all, the first lucky 100 customers will get access to a signed identity mug by the man himself!
Welcome back @Paratus

The way I see it, that was the estimation for the entire game's beta, not just the Town Square module... Which makes it even worse.
This is on Identity's steam page which is only around 1 month old:
"With our current pace, we estimate that the SWAT module will be complete in late 2019, the racing module in 2020 and the feature-complete Identity beta will begin in 2021. These are not to be taken as release dates but as our current best estimates.”Paratus got in way over his head. Sometimes programmers are the worst production managers and this is clearly evident in the way he ran Asylum and his failed game. He should have worked on pvp all this time and focused on the town square BS at the end. Maybe today we all would have been excited to buy the game and start shooting each other--instead all I have to look forward to is seeing what color dress @Azeh will be wearing in the town square tonight.
PS Did Motown ever do anything? He seemed like a leech to me.

Nah I just don't like that ground stuff its pretty gay in my opinion. But I guess people like watching guys rub on each other for minutes on end.
That's what these kinda fights are all about in reality. Grapple and take them down, I thought it was pretty interesting because he didn't let McGregor up at all and pounced a few times pretty well--the final chokewas pretty great. It was a good fight but the ending really soured me on it.

Yeah I'm really curious to know what happened. Either this shit was all setup to make UFC more interesting (wouldn't put it passed Dana White) or someone really got under Khabibs skin there.

Gnashes continues to talk about his 60 hour work weeks and why there hasn't been an update for a month or more. Bamf claims he found the solution, remove Server 2, move the S4 information to 2, and that'll solve it. Gnashes gains an extra 50lbs licking up the salt of all the S2 people.
the s2 salt was plentiful.

There's other reasons, at least for my self. There's no defibs on there, epi pens don't cut it for me. Cops have ghosthawks that have ammo, while civs have titans to counter them. I believe both of those are just unnecessary. There's a few other things keeping me from playing Olympus but I assure you it's not that I would have to start over.
Ghosthawks aren’t pulled much there and are discouraged from just being used unnecessarily plus they’re Sgt+ only. But civs can also get them at blackwater plus a lot more. Defibs aren’t really a necessity either as medics actually do their job there because they’re whitelisted. For cartels, search & rescue can drop dope crates which I do often when I’m playing medic over there.
The hardest thing for me to adjust to when I first started playing over there was the 15 min NLR since I was used to going right back to the fight on Asylum. But even NLR has its pros as it lets you steal people’s stuff after you wipe them and their friends without worry of them coming back instantly. Plus as I said, if you’re not watching their bodies, a whitelisted medic will roll in quietly and revive them (I do this a lot and it’s pretty hilarious).
As of now, Olympus is much better run than Asylum and personally I have more fun there. One downside is the median age seems to be lower there so you get a lot of edgy kids there.

"Whether its going to be shit or a waste of time does not matter. He put more effort into Identity than Bamf and Gnashes did in Asylum. Even the developers at Olympus did. The funny thing is - Paratus was going to originally make Identity as an Arma 3 custom modded server, but given how shit the game engine was at the time and still is, he left the Arma scene and gets shit on from people for doing so."
Of course he's putting in more effort into Identity than anyone puts into an Arma server. It's his job, whereas running/developing an Arma server is typically a hobby that could be a job depending on its popularity (which I believe it was in Paratus' case), but regardless - a game in development is much more demanding in every way. It's more future proof and it'll bring in a lot more revenue if done right."That's why Asylum can't lock sports hatchbacks behind a donation level, and never will be able to. Sports Hatchbacks where arguably one of the things people donated for. Now, there is no need to donate more than $25."
I'm aware. But is this a problem for a server the size of Asylum or Olympus? There's other ways to make people donate, such as community goals. Keep your players happy to a certain degree and the donations will come in."Yes, used as an example. And remember Asylum broke the monetization guidelines and rules also."
The case of PsiSyn is just an issue of them stealing mods. Doesn't have much to do with monetization. That said, they've opened up their "store" a few times which I believe broke the monetization rules at some point. TFAR has nothing to do with this though.
Many servers have broke the monetization rules at some point. GTA did it just a couple of months ago. I can't remember what specifically caused Asylum to get their BattlEye disabled the times it has happened, but one of the times it was because of code that was commented out (meaning BattlEye shouldn't have been disabled).He didn't have to create Identity. Looking at this LinkedIn, he was a game programmer until he could start making a living off Asylum. He didn't have to make his own company and game, but I think everyone understands why he did it as it has the potential to be a lot more rewarding than a 'normal job'. I don't know much about @HereToStealYourIdeas and @Jesse's families, but to my knowledge they both have a job. McDili recently stated that he has never spent any of the donation money on anything but Olympus, and Jesse doesn't get any money from developing for Olympus. That makes Olympus a hobby for them.
Well mcdili owns the server and donations cover expenses but he isn’t a developer so he doesn’t have that added pressure. I don’t know what Jesse does for a living or even how old he is but again, he’s just responsible for getting some dev work done along with others for fun.
For Paratus it was ownership plus full time developer work and I believe he’s in his 30s with a family so of course he’s going to pursue a more lucrative venture of creating his own game rather than be beholden to an awful company like Bohemia, you can’t fault him for that.
People give gnashes shit but he’s not obligated to do anything for Asylum either and others are free to step up and take his place. However all I see is a bunch of complaining and nobody doing the hard work. Server policy and the lack of implementation of what players want falls squarely on bamf so that’s where everyone’s ire should be directed at. He could decide to put in Alecs prison if he wanted but he didn’t so I don’t get why people blame gnashes.

But Identity is a waste of time. It's gonna be shit.
The monetization rules obviously made an impact on a lot of servers, but if Identity wasn't a thing then it wouldn't have mattered for Asylum. Paratus probably made enough money to host these servers for longer than a decade, even if he stopped accepting donations 2 years ago.
"and made it where you essentially can't get any donations without approval from them."
This doesn't really matter. BI hands out monetization approvals like it's candy. You just have to follow the monetization rules or you'll get told to change whatever thing is breaking the rules, or have the approval revoked."Another life server is in the same boat, but with a popular addon and the developers are refusing them to use it and essentially fucking that server over."
PsiSyn and TFAR? If that's what you're on about, they stole mods left and right which either: don't allow monetization OR they haven't been given permission from the mod author(s) to use. For that reason, the TFAR developer had no interest in giving them permission to use TFAR seeing as they broke the monetization rules multiple times.To be fair, Paratus has to earn a living and since BI took that away from him through their draconian monetization rules, he had no choice but to make identity. No adult with a family to think about is going to commit valuable time and effort just to earn pennies on the dollar. Just look at Poseidon, he started Olympus as a teen and now that he’s out in the real world, he’s looking for a good job and sold off Olympus. These servers are good for college kids and younger to toy with in their spare time, not working adults.
