What are these updates? Nobody is coming back for the same altis. None of the "upcoming" is going to provide any content for us end users? This is going to die faster then v3. There goes the faith. I think we would all rather see a new game at this point. Clearly we are incapable of making a successful Arma 3 server. NEXT!! Who here has a few $$ burning a hole in their pocket. Fivrr is full of devs looking to build a server. Even a half ass Dayz, FiveM or Reforge would have more success at this point.

I'll be 100% OWNERS.... You want $$ right...Who invests in something with out expecting a roi? Its a number game and you arn't getting the numbers...Your selling a product.."ASYLUM LIFE"..arma 3 is just a platform for that...You need to find new location to sell yoru product to be profitable. The block we used to be on (ARMA 3) is sadly over run by competition and we have more then "3 strikes and your out" at attempts to revives this. You need to move to Amazon...aka FIVEM./Reforge. Who cares about anyones feeling here. You want the $. Go where the $ is. How successful is RP on FIVEM? FIVEM - US RP Servers Photo speaks for itself. Sojobo already proved the ASYLUM model of gaming works! We don't have to model after them stick to ASYLUM Life and if need be we adapt...sure some things will need to change but real talk...the RP here is FUCKING BAD! "HANDS UP OR DIE" 95% of the cops "RP" is just following guide book protocals. Probably closer to 98% if were being honest. Its lite RP at best. Point is if your selling a product you want to be available to as many people as possible. FIVEM is already proven to have amazing numbers in RP servers and Reforge is coming around. Here is the HONESTY PART.... Fuck 100% of anyone here who is "OH BUT ITS NOT ARMA...I"LL PASS!" Sorry but your feelings don't pay the bills and isn't populating the server. Lets get our heads out of our asses and get on with the next chapter!

Big L on Ownership! More specifically Mitch! Sorry but when people had legit idea to help the server and you mock them! You earn the R title. Double down that their announcement to fix all the back end shit instead of giving content was probably their biggest L Lets be honest EVERYTHING about this ownership swap was bad. Might be the worst in asylum history. The least amount was accomplished. The fastest decline in population. The whole closing the server down for literally NO FUCKING CONTENT...On an already low pop server..genius. Its really simple... SUCK up your pride...Give up your OPINION and do what THE COMMUNITY wants. Move to a new game - Dayz, Fivem, Reforge SOMETHING POPULATED (I know it won't happen...Pride...go ahead an make an excuse about deving like closing asylum down for 0 reason wasnt an issue) THE ONLY WAY ARMA WORKS - New Map, Cars, Gear, Guns, INCLUDING LRPS (NOT LIKE ITS A TARGET RICH ENVIRONMENT) or Close the server. Seriously. Let her rest if you can't manage it! NOBODY want to play old asylum anymore. NOBODY. for fuck sake. how many times do we have to switch owners and do fuck all for anything really new. A new building/prison is not new enough for anyone to really give a shit about. A new prison or new event isn't going to make people come back here. Why do you think Olympus is so fucking populated? Do a little homework and strip down some of that pride and start listening to the community Mods, New maps, New cars, New Cloths, It'll never happen. It shouldn't take 3+ ownership swaps to see that the old asylum is not working anymore. You say V3 but its virtually V1 I think the damage might already be done. People already have Olympus and Anzuz to go to and would you believe it....WAAAAAAY MORE POPULATED too. crazy right. content/new shit=people. Who knew? POSTED 5 days ago and no owner has been here to respond.... Should we be surprised.... Perfect representation of the effort of the owners!

(Not Chatgpt'ed)Thank you, everyone. Today, I step into the role of Commander of RP with a vision to bring character, heart, and depth back to the streets of Asylum. This role is more than a title; it’s a commitment to creating a vibrant, engaging atmosphere for all. We’ve all experienced what happens when RP is pushed to the side—when ego or self-interest becomes the priority over the health of our community. RP is about the stories we create together, from the wild tales that bring us to laughter to the deep moments of tension and drama. My goal as Commander is to ensure that every encounter, from hostage situations to street interactions, feels genuinely alive. We'll build an environment where officers and civilians alike can step into roles that mean something. I want to honor what makes RP special: characters who are relatable, flawed, and, yes, unpredictable. To the dedicated staff, devs, and everyone who has been keeping this community alive, thank you. Together, we’ll work toward an RP experience that respects Asylum’s legacy while embracing new ideas. Let’s bring Kavala back, not just as a battleground but as a thriving, complex city full of stories. In the words of our great friend YOLO, we’re not just here to play; we’re here to make memories. Let’s bring those memories to life and rebuild this community—one RP at a time. (def was chatgpt'ed)

How about add an automated "Fining" system. Horrible wording for it but the idea is If I shoot a new player, 20,000 is transferred automatically from my account to theirs. Pick whatever $ sound appropriate. Add a multiplier that it increases each time they repeat kill them. THEN at least their making bank as a new person.

Not necessary but would be nice to drive by my house and pay it....

At chop shop? I have to drive to chop to make a load out...seems logical lol.

I think it would be nice to have a "SWAT Loadout" option on the NPC. I personally don't care for the ARCO and would like it to default to RCO and a few Flashbangs and I read a few suggestions ago by @junker who sounds like he would like a UAV as part of his loadout and I'm sure other officers have a preference in what they would or would not want.

Sir do you even play anymore or are you under a dif name?

Lite Modded Server - This is more of an idea if we keep having consistent population and growth but the the basic idea would be to have asylum stay asylum but there be some "Quality of life" mods or whatever is deemed appropriate for the server. This could be anything from cloths to guns to new wheels. I mentioned it would be cool if COP had a PA system that they could use to for example yell at one individual in a crowed without exiting the car. but this is apparently not possible with out some mod(s). I think there are a few of us who remember and loved the Tanoa and Aussie Life server however they were from my understanding super toxic on the dev side mostly because of it being heavily modded and bugg. I think very lightly modded server would add joy to the community and wouldn't be as toxic to manage on a dev side compared to Aussie Life Asylum (Enter New Map Name) Life Server I think it would be cool if we ever did move to adding addition server that instead of duplicating the servers, we use some of the different maps already available on ARMA 3 such as Stratis. Maybe make a community vote and let it get dev'ed for a year or however that would take. I'm sure a lot of people here in the community have some basic understanding adding editing models on that could help. Id even be more then happy to help.

Is there a way to maybe write something, be it hot key or scroll wheel function that starts a 5-10 second voice recording. which gets transmitted like an effect but only to a set radius? I don't know if that makes since or not. but in my head you would scroll wheel "Use Public Address Systems." a notification would pop up saying start recording your message. After time is up notification pops up. "Do you want to send? Press 8" (or whatever is easy) and when you press the button anyone in a 50m (or whatever) radius will get the message. I'm no dev so idk what limits there are.

Its 2023. Can we please get insured vehicles? I like the whole idea of basic (doesn't cover upgrades) and full coverage (covers upgrades) insured stuff. It even adds a bit of saltiness to getting it chopped or blown up...not that I recommend that :p.

Besides the obvious fun we would have blasting music though the loud speakers (or not) I think this would present some very practical uses such as being able to directly initiate with a suspect in a crowded area such as Athera without having to hit the sirens causing the whole city to unfold on you or having to exit the vehicle which may be your only form of protection/cover. I can even see times while on heli using it while chasing down subject. Overall I see more + then - . After all...our primary weapon is our voice. Lets amplify it!

10/10 Like this idea. We need more creative events!
