Hey guys! Some of you from a long time ago may know me as Walter, from a time where OzzyGaming had the Mighty Altis Life as the main gametype. After feeling a sense of nostalgia, I got in contact with some of my old buddies and we all agreed that we would like the gamemode to come back. If you think this would be a good idea, comment on this topic thread your support and what ideas you would have to help bring it back to the old glory days, and if we get enough support I will create a change.org petition to hand in if we get enough signatures. Have a good day and stay safe, look forward to seeing some of you guys around in the community!. Walter
