The current cars look stupid, half of them are drawn from different angles and when they're not facing up or down look retarted.

somebody ban this kid.

nice pics, except you can tell from the interface that half of them are after 2010. i'd make fun of my brother for playing a retarded 2d game then i tried it and i'd play for hours after school having sick fun.

simple was better in many aspects... but the problem is that it's impossible for new players to compete with pkers with 10 years or so of experience

This was back in the day when I was on top of the world.

I was a FAQ, In Old PPA with Snerdly and Pegleg
TSAdmin (The cool TSA before global PWA or anything) as FAQ Admin or was about to become FAQ Admin
Yen aka YY was still playing

This was right before i got Owner of old PT when they sold desert eagles and p90s etc. I had p2ks and SG17 that u can only get from PPA and it wasn't like it was today. I miss these days.

I wouldn't call that old PPA. you can see the wall that mange built on the minimap to block off southridge. it was supposed to be a money sink for people to donate to "fix the bridge." plus the gui is a dead giveaway. although that screenshot was from quite a few years ago, it's no way "old PPA."

but damn that playerlist hit me right in the feels. so many old pals.

Haha oh wow now I want to go get my old hard drive and upload all of my old screenshots...

Fiberwyre_P2P 09-20-2014 09:32 PM

Oh god, Mog. What ever happened to that guy and his dual shotties?

With respect, i think you view it through rose tinted glasses.
You seem like the type of person who would hate it because it's new and not the exact same server you played like 12 years ago.
how would you improve it?

Yeah, back when we had trading baskets.

And on the topic of iEra, it's an acquired taste for PC-Era Natives.
Here's the first impression of a PC-Era Native when they come to iEra:
1) "Oh, nice playercount."
2) "Ew, slow walk speed."
3) "Ew, laggy flash/java-based client. The hell is this friends list in my way for?"
4) "Man, this basing system sucks."
5) "Man, this walk speed really sucks,"
6) "Is it just me, or is this hit box off?"

Once you get past these quirks, it's manageable.

But it's really hard to get past that.
Especially for people who enjoy base takeovers, which is really what Era (both versions) are about.
Basing on iEra is flawed in many respects-- respawning, healing, and the general lack of focus on gunplay.

This does not captivate the typical PC Era player, who has seen a great basing system in action.

I really enjoy playing iEra, and I have plans to improve on it to give people the "old school Era" experience I grew up with.
I feel the newer generation is being robbed of a great game.

Admittedly though, I wouldn't play if I was limited to the Facebook application.

If iEra wants to attract anybody interested in playing on the PC, a good first step is to open up the server on the Graal Client to the general public, giving them the same limitations the Facebook client has, without the lag or that bulky friends list at the bottom.

Oh, and good to see some of you guys again. :)
