TRYHARD Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 Kinda pointless to log on when all 3 servers have between 13-20 people. I know that everyone wants to use their houses but the server could see a population boost if all 3 wernt so dead. None are near the top of population and anyone looking to play will stick to a different game until it picks up. Bamfs system was trash, just do something like s2 and s3 are only up from 3pm EST to 1am EST Would also help to prevent people from making millions while there are no cops on. Might bring a bit more action. Masonn likes this Link to comment
Donk Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 As much as id love to see the servers at high pop again, the issue with this is what about the players that work odd hours and dont normally get to play during peak hours? or what about all the players that arent in the US? Are we supposed to limit all of their access to the servers just so we can have more one and done fights at OG? GravL, Dreavey, Pilot Josh and 9 others like this Link to comment

Not even to increase fights it’s to increase overall interaction between players. Link to comment
they took the name eazy Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 i think the true solution to the problem isnt to make everyone play s1 make it random, so everyone can have a chance to use their houses occasionally so one day, off peak hours only s2 is up etc Fried Rice likes this Link to comment

Disco Biscuits Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 What about houses? I am fine playing on Server 3 when its packed or when its dead. I play random hours based on work and free time so being forced to go to one server isn't worth investing time or buying properties. If population is an issue just remove #3 (although I think it is fine, all server - from my prospective - population for all servers tends to hover around the same player count with one having slightly more until a restart happens and then that player count shifts to one of the other servers server; rinse and repeat. Could call that the "transient" player base). Personally I dont care to play on server #1 at all, sometimes #2 with #3 being best imo. Put a lot of work into setting up my houses so at this point if they are removed or not available when ever I need them I would be done with "seriously" playing Altis life (as it would be the third time this happened for me). Also - when are those screen caps from? East coast US times all three server typically have at least 30+ people on each. IAmLegion, Master27411 and Huan Lee like this Link to comment
TRYHARD Posted March 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 I don’t understand why you all complain about not being able to use houses when the server would only be down during the times the server averages less than 15 people. Anything under 40 is boring anyway. Walt, Slick and thero like this Link to comment
Masonn Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 (edited) Would work to increase pop but pretty sure a lot will get extremely butthurt about APD slots along with houses. Don't see it happening at all since they've said from the beginning they don't wanna do this setup. If I'm 100% honest I don't see asylum ever picking up again unless Olympus fucks something up, take a look at the last patch notes it's laughable. Like I can't think of anything they can do rn that Olympus doesn't already offer. Edited March 29, 2019 by Mason Statham TRYHARD, Fried Rice, Nenja and 1 other like this Link to comment

Yep, all the big life servers do this to prevent people from being able to make millions risk free and to increase player interaction. Just off the top of my head Olympus, Reborn, and GTA all have multiple servers and shut down 1 during non peak times. but muh houses Sp0on, Masonn and Walt like this Link to comment

Yes, nitpicking here, but it might be boring for you, but there are clearly people it's not boring for (those logged in). If people want to spend their free time (let's say 8am EST -> 3pm EST) grinding out millions to then throw away once the server is poppin, who are we to say "that's wrong"? If I wanna pull an all-nighter grinding out money using my houses on Server 2/3 because I know my playtime in the near future is going to be limited, I should be able to no-life money-making for a night to be good for the next few days. Sometimes a quiet server is nice, whether I'm grinding money or just messin around. Edited March 29, 2019 by Maaqs Fried Rice, Bandit, DonDurka and 7 others like this Link to comment

Some players cannot make money in a 80/85 server simply because gangs/other players take control of almost all gathering/process areas. A server with less player is their chance to get some money to then fight when server is full. Link to comment

Ades Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 A schedule for when the server is up wont work with most players. People don't always know when they can and can't play, you're also going to lose a lot of players that aren't from NA. Link to comment

Money isn't an issue about getting people to play the server. This has never been an issue and the old three servers that were 100/100 are a pure example of it. The problem is that there isn't enough interactions between players to even be able to play the server properly. People solely don't play the server, because there is little to no action or interaction between players. Also let me be clear: this server is NOT an RP server a large part of this whole game mode is fighting cops and fighting against other rebels. The end goal of the game is to become one of the best cartel gangs on the server. So yes, fighting is one of the biggest parts of the server and your suppose to have to fight your way to profit from illegal activities. In conclusion player interaction: both action/ communication is needed to be properly facilitated to increase the player base. This starts by shutting down one server to increase player base on other the other two servers. Edited April 1, 2019 by Walt thero likes this Link to comment

That may be YOUR end game, but being "the best cartel fighting gang on the server" is not reflective of the majority of the playerbase; not in the slightest IMO. You really think Gang Wars with 10(or was it 9?) total gangs is reflective of the entire Asylum community. Drunk Squad is 4 going on 5 years old, and has never once put cartels first. There are career cops who have no interest in cartels, and when they do log on civ, it's just to mess around. There are gangs / groups that sit in Kavala all night long and cause havoc.

cHIP oTLE Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 Taking down servers at low pop times would just kill the servers more. If people don’t own houses on all 3 servers, if their server is down, they probably won’t play. Maaqs and LITTLE HANOI like this Link to comment

Ron Johnson Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 Just now, Ron Johnson said: That is one subject no one can agree on, people have their houses and it causes controversy whenever closing down servers comes up in topic. People don't like the feeling of losing out on what they have invested so much of their time in, so I don't think we will see servers closing down to combine into one single at this time. Again I have no knowledge of insider discussions and what not, but I can give you my personal opinion on the situation. Many have complained about server stability when reaching max capacity on servers (particularly Server 1), I am sure this is due to the issue at hand with the current mission file. Once the mission file has been filtered through and resolved, I am sure we will see the player population grow with rising confidence in server performance with the release of Asylum V2. I believe transferring all players onto one server will not help the player population stay stable and full at all times simply because of this "unknown" stability issue at this time. Spreading a player base that averages equally through low-peak hours (12am-12pm) and unequally during peak hours would not solve the larger issue at hand which is stability due to everyone being squeezed onto Server 1 in which is already having issues at hand as it stands now. Below is the information available on the game servers page by interacting with the BattleMetrics widgets: All of this is my own personal opinion and thoughts. None of this has directly been influenced by Asylum staff or additional knowledge not available know/given to the general public. Sp0on likes this Link to comment

Smee Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 Opening up server 3 was the biggest mistake they could have done, They need to realise that if we had constant numbers for 2 weeks straight then open up, but now people have 0 interaction with such a big map with only 15 players average. Asylum needs to at least remove 1 of the servers until Asylum 2.0 comes out.This being the better option for its players and dedicated members. Joshhh and Rag like this Link to comment
