Hello, I am Honeybadger - and I don't give a .... Well, you know it goes. I have been a part of the gaming community for over a decade across every genre of game there is. I tend to focus mainly on the competitive scene and team-oriented play so I know what it takes to participate in, and lead, a large group to a successful outcome. My current job allows me to play at work, so I will be able to play around 60+ hours a week or at the very least be available when needed. This provides me an excellent opportunity to not only take on a leadership role, but to also stay in the top % of players that you don't want to mess with. I have about 7 friends (so far) confirmed that will be joining me in this game from previous ones, with more to come closer to launch I'm sure. We will go in with a solid foundation and are looking for other similarly minded and skilled players to hop on board now to help drive this massive engine! With that being said - what I would like to attempt in this game is to form a sort of conglomerate that is advantageous to everyone involved. Our goals and mission will likely change on a monthly basis contingent on our biggest needs at that time, for example ; We have multiple store owners but not enough trucking companies to provide cheap and timely services so our mission for that month will be to absorb / buyout trucking companies that will operate within our conglomerate. Obviously I can not build and direct this massive engine on my own, so advisers will be appointed to help guide and discuss the appropriate paths for the "clan" to take that will be beneficial to everyone as a whole. The current projected server capacity is 300 people. Our goal is to achieve at least 150 members of various occupations (mostly consisting of large businesses) thus allowing us to control the flow of the environment around us. Having server majority would enable us to appoint politicians of our choosing as well as secure a larger safety blanket for those operating somewhat outside of the law within our organization. What we are looking for - Advisers (Clan Officers) - Advisers will likely be players interested in the business owner and political career paths. People who are savvy at seeing the big picture and able to collectively discuss the appropriate paths and decisions the clan should make. This role will function as our own mini-government carving out the direction of our conglomerate as a group. Other jobs will include things such as organizing events, recruiting, keeping people in line etc, deciding which businesses to start / absorb. They will be respected members of our society. Please apply with me in private message if you think this is right up your alley. (Yes we will also need war adviser(s) this role will likely consist of Private Military or Police Captain, perhaps even a Godfather). Players interested in Business - I expect this to be the bread and butter of our conglomerate. Business owners can expect to receive startup loans with little to no interest rates through our investment support system, the advantages provided from receiving discounted materials and services from other businesses within our conglomerate, and the security of our private military and gang affiliation if / when need be. Players who wish to be a business owner within our conglomerate will be thoroughly interviewed by myself and fellow advisers so that we may determine where and how to place the best leaders (We don't want corrupt business owners or people who can't keep their employees) This will help to ensure that The Neighborhood profits from it, the business thrives, and the jobs provided / salaries are of exceptional quality particularly for members of our organization. I want to have 1 possibly no more than 2 large companies in one area of expertise at a time that we can focus our efforts and resources to so that our companies don't end up rivaling themselves in terms of profit. We want to build and manage the "Go To" companies as it were. This would apply to such things as Transport companies, banks, farms, casinos, clothing stores. So getting in line early to be the company we endorse would be beneficial to you. Other companies such as trucking companies or mining companies we could afford to have more of as those are general production and revenue streams that don't necessarily need to worry about rivals as the discounts and profits can be shared by all. Equally important to us as business owners, are the employees. Perhaps you just want to lead a casual life with good pay minus the hassle of running a company yourself, even if undecided - our conglomerate will potentially be able to offer a large variety of jobs for you to work at exceptionally higher pay rates and advantages than you can expect almost anywhere else. How will Politics work? - Do you want to be a Governor? Perhaps a judge, or a conglomerate Lawyer? Our massive engine will allow us the numbers to appoint the appropriate people into these positions. You can expect this position to earn an extra "clan salary" on top of its job pay. Job functions will include things such as forming and passing laws that benefit The Neighborhood (which will also benefit the majority), giving leniency to players in our organization as well as condemning rivals and keeping our players out of jail whenever possible. This may sound sort of, uhh.. Corrupt-ish, but outside of the advantages you receive from our business discounts, extra salary, and our numbers provided to appoint you - It's just kind of the way of the world. We will definitely take care of our loyal Politicians. How will the Mafia work? - Frank is the leader of The Luprano Family - The Neighborhood will act as a safe haven for his gang and allow them to operate cheaply and safely on our (very efficient / high traffic) store fronts. Gangs can expect to benefit from our business discounts as well as operate under our safety net of paid off politicians and policemen as well as aid in the riddance of rival gangs for total dominance. Together we will ensure that they are the largest mafia, and we are the largest business force that they themselves also have a vested interest in. Private Military - What is a small town without it's own small Army? I'm not entirely sure how this role will function yet, but you can expect this position to be an extra salary on top of your current job and current clan role. Members of our private military will receive priority access to cheap weapons, and any combat gear / training provided in the game to form a stronger military. They will function as our protection blanket to protect our businesses if / when need be and fend off rival gangs etc. As the President of the conglomerate I will be in charge of running the military and it's funding. On the left we have the money makers and on the right we have the money costers, separated by a large X in the middle. Ideally the profit margin is so large on the makes money side, that the costs money side pays for itself through investments. The hierarchy for each segment is broken down above. Each member of our organization will represent at least one of these segments. Each segment will have it's own separate treasury operated by the Directors of that segment. They will be known as the advisers, who will gather once a week or so to discuss their treasuries and next lucrative business deals / investments.. If all 4 of these segments are investing in the same things, it will expedite the production of our businesses and accelerate their rate of earning income. All treasury invested money will return to the treasury for that segment to either invest in the next business deal - or invest in their particular segment as seen fit by the directors. Members will contribute to their segment through a (yet to be determined) tax % sort of thing. The taxes will come from investments, basically the opportunity to invest in a company that's guaranteed to succeed. For example - If you're a member of the Mafia and you contribute 5% towards the investment of our new startup building, you as a player will receive 4% of that income and the segment you work in (Mafia) will receive 1% of that into their treasury. If you're a business owner or employee and invest 5% into a new drug trade the Mafia wants to take on, you will receive 4% of the profits and the Business segment will receive 1% of what you invested as profit. If 3 members invest 5% from a segment, that segment will receive 1% 3 times. Over time players and segments will be accruing profit from not only their companies, but the success of many others. Segment treasuries can be used to fund things like the remaining % of investment required to start up our next company, the combined funding of wars if needed, the self improvement of their business, or even just sit on it for a rainy day. The functionality of the mafia and politicians will ideally work in a scenario where the cost of their services is replaced by the amount of advantages received through cooperating and investing with us. If the Mafia maintains 25% worth of investments in our companies, then our companies success will also hinder on their ability to protect it and drive out competition. In the same respect the Mafia will have the security of the largest corporate backers in the game, as well as the ability to open their own businesses under our brand and through our investment support system. The mass production and shipment of drugs early on may be one of the most profitable trades we end up having, and with our help they would surely be on top of it faster than anyone else. Politicians will simply be paid for what they can accomplish, most of this branch will consist of investors - Since our industry will be large, creating and passing laws that benefit us is by happen-stance also beneficial to the majority of players in our server since we will control the majority. Politicians will receive access to our campaign support, ability to invest in our profitable trade market, ability to start up their own companies within it etc.. The best explanation I can give is to think of it as the biggest HOA community in town, except on a larger scale. It's a conglomerate of multiple large companies working together and providing the advantages that each one has to offer such as discounts, efficient trade, large pool of combined resources while also providing the cooperation of politicians and security of private military and possibly even gang turf. At the start we will want 1 company of a different NECESSARY profitable trade (1 farm, 1 mine, 1 casino, 1 trucking company so on and so forth) so that we may build them up to be the biggest game in town as well as shut down opposing factions if / when need be, just through sheer numbers and a proper support system.

Hello everyone! Some of you might remember that I had a thread on the old forum with an Imgur album containing all pictures posted by the developers on Twitter and Facebook. I just wanted to let you all know, both those who might have seen it but had forgot about it, aswell as new people who found it just now that it still exists and is updated as soon as a new picture is released. You can access it here, feel free to use it (or not use it) however you like. Take care!

Ignore please, company isn't possible I'll be running a new one though

Everyone please be careful of a scam email being sent around from "asylumentertaiment@gmail.com" notice no "n" after the "ai" The email contains a message that states Identity is out for testing and directs you to a link to donate money to get access. If you receive this email or one similar don't donate money as it is not real and mark it as spam.

In the recent review done with Asylum, (found here, http://www.eternagaming.com/exclusive-interview-with-identity/) a concert hall was mentioned that players can rent to host classical, rock, etc. events and I am wondering how many of you besides myself are musicians and would be interested in forming an orchestra to perform in what I'm assuming with be Roseport Performing Arts Center or something along the lines. There is very little information on what kind of instruments will actually be available in Identity, so this could end up being a complete waste of time, (which correctly represents the life of a classical musician anyways). Please let me know with a message with a little bit of info about yourself and we will move on from there!

Ciao a tutti io proprio voglio dire un frase speciale per tutti. Questa frase è molto vecchio, non so da quando questo ha fatto. Senza più bullshit, permettimi da dire questa Bella frase barese "O'squagghje d'la nev, jessn l'strunz." . In la nostra lingua, si dice quando la neve vada via, viene la verità. In English, this barese saying means when the snow melts, the shit appears. The message? Inevitably, as time passes, the truth is discovered. Buonasera.

Will there be Studios where you can record music? Will we be able to make CDs and watch people buy them?

I would like to see the harp.

Hi there. Well I won't really be into music in Identity, but I'd really love to see some virtual band created ingame. My main point on answering is to thank you for sharing the link to the interview. It has very recent and valuable info that gives some input on the current vision of the game!

I don't really care. You can't be liked by everyone, right? Especially if you made a very small, honest mistake, apparently.

Yes!

She said in RP games not MMO's you complete cockwash

Exactly! U just said it for me

I have a few questions regarding the game world and characters. Firstly, will there be gyms in the game to go to in order to become fitter? Obviously, there'd be little sense in going to a gym if there was no benefit or reason to do so, which brings me to my second question. Will there be health and fitness in the game? if a character is fit they might be able to run faster and longer than other players. They might be able to lift heavier objects than weaker players. This might extend to dietary choices, and it could open up new careers, say Personal Training, Yoga Instructing and dieticians. Do we know if there is going to be anything like this in Identity? Thanks!

If you want a reference of the intended gameplay, instead of GTA online, I think you should look to Altis Life. If you check the Kickstarter page, Altis Life is mentioned as the inspiration of Indentity. Also, the developers of the game are the same who created the Altis Life mod. The good thing is that a lot of those things have already been implemented in the mod. Altis Life has a long list of features that are announced for Identity. This both gives a good idea of what we can expect, and also relieves the difficulties a game made completely from scratch usually faces. Regarding your concern, you can get some input from the description of the game and check how the Altis Gameplay is about it. At its core, it is described as a criminals vs. cops game, although more of the civil activities many people are missing, they are creating this 'standalone' Altis Life which will include all those civil stuff so that this is not completely a shooter game, as it is Arma III, the game to which Altis Life mod is applied. Basically, you will start as a civilian, and then you can make money by doing jobs or getting into careers that can be legal or not. Only when you do crime, such as robbing a bank etc, you get a wanted status. From that moment, cops and bounty hunters have rights and probably tools (e.g. visibility) to catch and put the criminal in jail. But there's no point or reward on killing you while being a clean civilian if you make money by legit business, and there will be quite a few of those legal businesses. I would not be too worried as a civilian to be killed. As others have said, the dev team will take care of balancing the game.

Probably same rules will apply in the official serves but could be a lot more strict in private servers.

Rezix Tech is now Rezix Homeware because we can't manufacture computers

I personally am a controller player and I would love to see this implemented. My biggest peeve with keyboard is that there is so intensity sensor, you're either pressing the button or you're not. With my Xbox one controller the game senses how hard I am pressing the gas pedal or how fast I want to turn my character around and look a different way or how fast I wanna walk.

No lol I want to know if people can lie on the ground to be arrested....

Cool Jaxen! I'm from Canada as well! Do you mind sharing what city or whereabouts you are in Canada? I'm From Edmonton Alberta, for all you Americans it's pretty much the Texas of Canada. And yeah the Canadian dollar is pretty trash right now

I think the Chief or head of staff should be able to decide the equipment the department gets to use. I prefer the tradition american Type lll looks like this there are 4 types in total if your interested...http://www.metronixinc.com/site/ambulances.html

There are minor delivery jobs created dynamically which a driver can pick up. Some, like a pizza, can be delivered even using a bicycle.

Maybe he should spend his money on education

They said they will have full controller support on twiiter, and I myself am a controller player lol.

good luck with a controller

Hello there! My name is James, also know as Spank (among many other names). I have been gaming since i was a kid, from the nostalgic SNES all the way up to PC. I am a member of Gaming-Asylum, which is Asylum Entertainments Altis Life mission for ArmA 3. I have been a member of their community since Christmas 2013. I am also an Administrator there, which i have held since roughly April of 2014. Other than Gaming-Asylum, my past community history as well as Admin positions would have been in BF2 (PC), and BF3 (X360). Being mechanically minded since i was a kid, I am man of many talents but a master of none. Born and raised in Alaska where I work in aviation as a mechanic. I also hold a private pilot license, which i hope to continue to commercial. Other hobbies would have to be hunting, fishing, cars, firearms, & planes. I am a pretty laid back guy, i like to make jokes and am all for friendly ribbing. If you're upfront and honest with me, i will be straight forward with you. If you need help or have any questions, you can reach me here through PM. Or on Gaming-Asylum, which i have linked in my name above.

Hia! Katie here, name also being, well Katie. I learned about Identity from one of my friends and decided that I would love to help out, which is why I'm here now! I mostly play League of Legends in my free time, but I expand my pool of gaming. Right now I'm in Queen's University in Kingston studying Biology, which is not the easiest thing in the world to do. If you ever want to play a game or two of something, feel free to shoot me a message and I'll add you on whatever. I just hope everyone has a good time!

Howdy! My name is Josh, but when it comes to gaming, I am more famously known as Killswitch. I have been playing video games ever since I was a young. I originated from console gaming, went to PC, back to console, then back to the PC master race after college. I dabble in all sorts of games but find the MMORPGs, MOBAs, and FPS games to be the most entertaining. I am from North Dakota and attended North Dakota State University where I got my Bachelors of Science. I am currently a Chemist in the area of Water Treatment, however I am going to go back to college to pursue a degree in Computer Science in the fall. I, like many others here, have met most of these young chaps through Asylum's Altis Life Server where I am an Administrator as well. Other additional hobbies would be sports, hunting, fishing, music, movies, and of course hanging out with friends. If you have any questions or need help, don't hesitate to message me.

Greetings All! I will preface this by saying that my username is pronounced "Goo-Gee." I have heard a lot of different variations of it and I hope this will prevent any confusion! My actual name is Evan and I am a sophomore studying to receive a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science. I am originally from Florida, the warm and sunny state where all you bizarre news stories originate. I came to know all of these amazing people through being an administrator on Asylum's Arma Life server since April 2014. My interests are mainly in the relationship between technology and law, which I hope to pursue after I finish my undergraduate education. I also am working to become fluent in Spanish, which I hope will be complete after I complete my abroad studies in Barcelona. In addition to gaming, I also enjoy watching and playing soccer, rowing, programming (Web Development, Java, C, Python), videography, and much more! Feel free to message with help regarding Identity or the Gaming-Aslyum ARMA Life servers.

Hey everyone, I'm Brendan, I'm currently a senior in high school taking a programming class and 3D modeling course with high hopes to go into the gaming industry in the future. I've been gaming ever since I was about 5 or 6. I've always loved video games and the world that it put you in. By the age of 13 I bought my first PC and gamed on it for about 2 years, After working part-time I save up money and built my new Gaming PC which is what I use now. After switching to PC I will never go back to consoles! Once I built that computer I installed all my software for 3D modeling and have been creating different projects to store in a portfolios for future job applications, by late 2016 I hope to apply for an internship at Gearbox Software (Creators of Borderlands) to improve my knowledge of the gaming industry. Thanks for checking out my introduction and I hope to see you guys around!

Nice to meet you all. I'm Matt, also known as Dysto, I guess that's my sort of online alias. I'm a Second Year University Student in the UK who loves to get involved in online communities especially when it allows me to work around a great group of people and a great product. I started out running my own forums several years ago along with a friend, I then moved into the journalistic space acting as a freelance writer for a period of time. More recently I help test two GRID games at Codemasters being credited for my role in the community there, before stumbling onto Identity. If you have any questions or queries feel free to come and discuss it with me. You can also catch me at @Dysto on Twitter. I'll see you guys around, lets make Identity the next big thing.
