Don Julio Posted December 18, 2022 Report Share Posted December 18, 2022 Okay before I get a ton of hate on this post hear me out. I remember in the teamspeak meeting people were voting for removing house weed from the server to help get players moving, and doing things around the world. This sounded like a good plan, but after this update, ive noticed the server population is down really bad, and we could do better. I do agree that the meta on the server shouldn't be run house weed 24/7, and get rich, but there should be some sort of passive money making(that new players can get into), you could argue just run scotch, but that is so far away with very little property so new players are screwed. The pros about the house weed was that people would always sign in on the server to grow their weed, and there was always people running drugs at the drug dealer. Now that area is dead, and the amount of houses for sale in that area shows it. I knew a few people that left the server because they don't have time to really grind a 5 year old server, so they log in socialize with friends, run weed for something to do (hoping for some action, waiting for that rook banger to try come rob us.) Currently the majority of the players log in, see there is nothing to do (besides cartels,socialize,earn money while they are already rich.) so they log off(im talking about the OG server population, they log in shoot some people and log off.) If you add house weed back, it will bring more players to the server (new and old players), revive the real estate near drug dealers, and make people start running weed again. Back when players could process weed twice into wax at weed processor that place was active 24/7, if you were trying to run solo you were guarantied to get robbed, so players would make groups and bond with each other and make friendships.(I will say the wax was really OP though, but the risk was there.) TLDR: add house weed back, it will bring new and old players back to the server (good for newbies to make money, good for og players to rob noobs for fun.) If a mod see this can you add a poll to this thank you. Link to comment

I could care less about making money the whole server is rich. I would like to see more of the city active, nobody is in kavala running drugs or anything anymore. There has to be a reason olympus is still pulling 130+ plus while asylum can barely get 100. Not trying to hate just want asylum #1 again. Link to comment
BoreyBando Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 Honestly I completely disagree, you're looking at it from a very closed perspective. There is many reason as to why adding it back or a slightly nerf'd version could be beneficial. House weed caused players to sit afk in there house which in turn raised the server population & ranking and that causes a domino effect where other players join due to it's high popularity. As an older player back in the community I know there was plenty of people who would do this and raise server pop at all hours. House weed also made drug dealers in all cities more popular and more exiting, though people want safe runs and all that, the excitement of this game comes from fire fights, robberies, ext... House weed also added another aspect of prime real-estate based on location or maybe view of drug dealer. And on a side note I think the way you guys went about updates wasn't the best in all respect, resetting quests ext... I think quest should have been added and but as far as bounty progress go I know that annoyed a lot of people. Link to comment

Mithridates VI Eupator Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 (edited) nobody quit playing because of house weed being removed. player numbers are down because 1. it isn't summer anymore, most people are to the grind. 2. arma 3 is almost 10 years old. 3. asylum is almost 10 years old. 4. development on asylum is somewhat stunted compared to some of the other servers particularly private ones. lots of our playerbase has started playing on a 2nd server to circumvent this downtime we all kind of feel on asy. 5. 1/4 of the community has mental defects and that scares away new players.

ObiWoki Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 We've al agreed internally that stuff that you do in your house will not be added to the server again for a while. This doesn't fall under stuff that entices people to go out and about and explore and only results to a endless passive money grind from the safety of your house Mithridates VI Eupator and Repto like this Link to comment
