omg I need to get p2p before halloween :(

So wait, it's silly and unreasonable to think that someone would bury pumpkins, yet in the very next line you suggest monster pumpkins that shoot pies at the player. That's logical.



Sure people hate to work for money. But it's an unknown prize. Might be good, might be bad. It's a risk you'll have to take. It's like going to the casino.

And here's a shocker, no one forces you to. Don't like it? Don't do it.

The best part about this is everyone's reaction. If it's just a little event, they complain. WOW, CAN'T DO ANY BETTER THAN THAT?

Yet if we had made custom graphics and scripted some elaborate quests and events...then they'd go "WOW GOOD JOB WASTING YOUR TIME ON POINTLESS HOLIDAY ****, FOCUS AND FINISH UP ERA DEV INSTEAD, DUMBASSES."

Where is all the zombies :(

There should be an massive event, with all players in one cave, as a team. Then hundreds of zombies comes, and when you kill one the blood come out of their head and all stuff. <3

Like Left 4 Dead... Mhmmm.

^^^^^^^^^^^^

To MontyPython: My point was if you're going to go illogical about the situation, go all out. Basically, go hard or go home. Burying pumpkins is dumb, boring and overall homosexual. Monster Pumpkins and ****, is dumb, but its so dumb that its fun and entertaining. Balance out the stupidity with entertainment/fun.

As is Halloween in real life ;)

It doesn't have to, i never waste money on Halloween stuff. ^^

EDIT: (Or mabey i do...;) )

Where is elsewhere? a different server?
Cus im not seeing nothing new...
You'll reply with "Era v2".
We havnt seen that.
How about you take a leaf out of zodiac's book, and post daily updates on whats happening, with screenshots etc etc.

There are no screenshots or impressive updates. The entire staff team is completely swamped with either work or school. There's not a lot we can get done, and when we get time, there are more important things to do than Halloween updates.

However, assuming the graphics are ready, we should have some prizes ready in the next few days.

So what your saying is Era doesnt have a dedicated staff team?
I sure would like to see a list of people with RC access and there last login dates.

Here's the development department:

• Sales, scripting
• Crow, scripting
• Chris Vimes (me), scripting
• Tim_Rocks, levels
• Rachel (cooldust79), levels
• Sage (graphics)
• Arch_Angel (graphics)

I don't have access to the times they last logged on right now, but I saw all of them on yesterday.


And no, Era doesn't have a "dedicated" staff team. Hopefully no one will take that out of context (shame on anyone who does). In order for Era to have a dedicated staff team, we'd have to quit school/jobs and work on Era as if we were getting paid. Life is more important. There's a shortage of decent developers everywhere on Graal, ask any server manager. We're not going to lower our standards and start hiring people who can't develop well.

This is true and it especially sucks now that people can't really learn to script offline. And in order to learn to script online they need to pay for a developer package. The developer shortage is probably only going to get worse.

Greed kind of put the nail and Graal's coffin there. It was bad enough when they expected developers to make all of Graal's content for free, but now they want us to pay them to make content for them? It's not surprising that I can remember there regularly being about 200 players on each of the popular servers a few years ago, and now Graal's average playercount for the last year is less than 250.

• Sales, scripting - Okay
• Crow, scripting - Didnt he quit, + I havnt seen him online in like 3-4 months.
• Chris Vimes (me), scripting - Yup.
• Tim_Rocks, levels - Yup.
• Rachel (cooldust79), levels -Yup.
• Sage (graphics) - Yup.
• Arch_Angel (graphics) - wow, i swear to god, this guy works on every single server ive seen.

But still;
No ganier's.
2 LAT's...
Scripting department seems good, even without Crow.
Same for Graphics / Kinda.

But i guess we cant expect you guys to do anything since most of you are going to school + working on Era Dev instead of Era.
So lets stop pretending you guys are trying to fix Era's Economy, add new stuff, new weapons etc etc, and start realising nothings going to happen until atleast 2012 when Erav2 is released (If graal is still around then).
