A crazy idea for era. Lol
 

Well, I've always been a fan of the "instant action" type of games. I don't like hearing people complain about raids when all they do is sit at unstick me. :c
Anyway, here's my idea.
Get rid of money. Staff's always had a hard time balancing out the economy so why have one?
So, you'll log into Era. You'll be given 3 choices of guns. (revamp all the guns and make them more diverse and balanced) then you'll automatically join a gang or some sort of team. You get sent into a complete PK area with no PK zones to avoid idling. I'm thinking something along the lines of 4 gang bases and some sort of respawn room.
Now, I know this sounds plain crazy and it will never happen, but I thought I'd throw in my ideas anyway.
I think it'd bring in a lot of players, and be pretty noob-friendly. It'd fix usding, it'd fix scamming, and it'd just be super easy to add new content.
Well, thanks for reading. :]

by this point you might as well just make a new server with those qualifications. This could never be Era.

Throw the economy away I completely agree it should be way easier to obtain gun. ****ing joke.

The idea of an economy that was, well used to be self-governed by the people, is what made era unique, Now that the economy is controlled by the pawn shop, and prices of even the most expensive weapons were halved, the only thing left to do is have newer ways to obtain great weapons and well, an entire server completely PKabled, so we don't have idlers, and only when you log on are you actually playing because you won't idle in a PK zone without dying, and you can only stay in the hospital for as long as you are low on HP, otherwise you get warped to a random place on the map. That is all.

Tay, you're a joke, son.
Let's face facts here. I wanted something constructive...not a shitty pker and a failed staff member to flex their little e-peens at me. Say something constructive or shut up.

Lol good idea.

Or just play Zone.

AWWWW Crono said what I was gonna say before I finished reading the thread.

Anfo must've posted this last night when we was still haah, cause it's not crazy it's just plain stupid.

Would be easier to make a new server, or... play Zone since that's basically what you described.

:asleep:

There's always going to be an economy. Whether it's widely recognised as one or not is another topic entirely. Remove money, people will find other "Fair trade" avenues which will then become the economy.

Edit: And knowing the general attitude surrounding Era, I wouldn't be surprised if such avenues included more USDing.

this brings me back to the days when you were manager :p

~yo ts! 5 dollar LAT long time

There was some un-hosted server that was like it. Don't really remember what it was called, but it was like a Graal version of Counter Strike. It was so funnnn! I just don't see another way to fix people idling instead of killing each other on graal other than removing non pk zones.

You can only fix people of idling if you make the DC timer 2 minutes, instead of just disabling it all together. :D

Vesporia/Sands of Glory might be what you're thinking of.

God I hated that server @Chris.

Yeah, it was Vesporia. :o
Zones dead, if it wasn't I would probably play it a lot more than Era. lol
