Seven years and soon to be eight...
 

I've played Era since it was incarnated in 2002, and now, will be my last footstep here. I'm quitting.

What are my reasons?

1. I have other things to do
2. Today's Era's repetitiveness is reeeeeally getting to me.

It wasn't repetitive back in 2002-2004, when raiding MEANT something -- but unfortunately that's all people do now, because all the other things that made Era great has now either been severely diminished or outright pulverized.

Funny though how I prefer this to the mainstream stuff, I remember trying out World of Warcraft and became outright bored, maybe it's because I saw something past the outright lack of appeal of Graal?

Anyways, I want to thank Delph for creating Era, Chrisz for not ruining it, and Drakaden for making Black Holst. I don't want to give a shout out to everybody though -- that'd be WAY too much. Although, I don't want to ignore the players either, because they truly made not just Era be Era but Graal be Graal.

From joining Black Holst, killing Era Police, editing door graphics to raid Rubeus Syndicate, whatever I did after getting fired from Black Holst, to whatever else, I won't forget any of that.

Thanks for participating,
- Raven "Darkrav" Zalinto

My one last gift is a collection of my Old Era screenshots, take a gander folks.

cya man, enjoy life!

Later man, hope your life will succeed in a positive way!

I beeen
 

I been playing for about he same time!

this

We sometimes didn't get along but in general I liked you better then quite a few people on era. Sad to see you go but I completely understand, I quit because of the repetitiveness 2 years ago was gone for a year and a half and then came back

Cya.

Goodbye, Enjoy the rest of your life :)

I hate how people act like you can do nothing besides playing Graal. Learn how to distribute your time. Give me a break.

Lexus, you assume too much.

Is this guy added to the "Moderated Status" group yet..?

Any position of leadership in a gang becomes very time consuming.

Don't worry about him, he's the kind of person who always assumes the worst, and proceeds to use the assumption to crap all over the thread.

I will always miss Era back when it was in it's prime. sadly enough, people like you and me have watched the server slowly decline ever since Jenn took over. Era will never be the same. not because I'm doubting the current management, but back when I enjoyed Era the most, I was 12 - 14 years old. if Era from 2003 - 2004 was magically uploaded right now, I probably wouldn't enjoy it as much. I'm not the same person as I was 4 - 6 years ago. it's hard to explain but I'm sure a few of you can relate.

Why? He hasn't done anything wrong :P

His status completely falls under the category of a "troll", every thread I've seen him in is negative. If you feel I'm wrong then so be it. The guy is leaving for crying out loud, wish him luck in life at least. Anyways back on topic, good luck once again in life.

You guys don't have to make a big deal out of it.

You can play Graal and you don't have to be a leader of a gang..

Good luck on living your life. :)

I agree with this too, when I found Era 3-4 years ago I was trial. But still I NEVER became tired running around and stealing Nitro bombs that people digged up, then I threw them on them. :D

But now the spirit is gone. :\
I just hope new Era will be good. <3

Someone's gotta take da' job. :blush:

being a leader in a gang isn't time consuming unless you're the only contributing member of the gang, lol.

Well, one of the only reasons I was still playing was because I was leader of Tachi; if I went off for a day or two I'd get bished at. The more days off the more bishing I get.

Good luck in life

Oh and good luck.

Woah, you finally quit? Interesting. You've been talking about that for months, didn't think you'd do it, but uh anyways, hope the best for you. Although, I do have a high level of certainty that you'll be back within the coming months. Wrong or right, I still wish you the best of luck. Also, did Sky successfully get Tachi?

Everytime I see a post by Venom, I just have to laugh.

You should be running instead!

No, Tachi appears to be done for.

Not at all, still seems to be rooted, firm.

Everytime I see a post from Shadow+A Bunch of numbers, I think; who's that?

A thought lasting only 2 seconds, at most.

Must be your Alzheimer's.

How so? Sky isn't getting it and there isn't anyone other than you in it.

Amongst others things, Crow.

Thats how.

Era's dead on the inside, but on the outside its teaming with wildlife for some odd reason.

Anyways its sucky that your quitting. I feel the same way as you do.

Have fun with life, its way better than graal. :D

Oh hee hee, I see what you did there.

But on another note, yes.
Era will never be the same, and I am not surprised people are not enjoying such a Used-to-be Fine server.

And it is still hard to watch all these staff members [new & old] try so hard to revive such a dead server.
I'll admit I miss Era, but I can say that for the times from 3years+ ago.

Oh man those days were a blast, it's sad to see you go and goodluck to what ever you do in real life m8

I'd rather prefer to see it deleted, and since everyone who's "with" me is in Black Holst. Might as well conform, Era can't substain four gangs, not with 28 Players at primetime on a Thursday Night. Lol.

that would be funny if Tachi got deleted. I said it from day 1 that it wouldn't last. it may have lasted longer than I expected, but I would still be right ;) no matter what, new gangs that aren't BB/BH/LC will always die.

Thats true, seeing as new staff outside of the originators will always fail. Making it impossible for those gangs to live, although Tachi doesn't have to die. I could just take it over and keep it going, but then that'd leave four gangs, since deleting those three gangs should/would be out of the question.

Still, your prediction isn't anything impressive. Thats like saying Barack Obama will die someday. <- well no ****, everyone dies someday.

Peace Raven, I didn't know you very long but you were still pretty cool :cool:

aka. Era died when I got banned (only true reason:D:D:\:D;)^^:D)

Good luck with your life :)

Just a guy, laughing.
