Era nostalgia!
 

inspired by the nostalgia thread in the classic forum.

we can all agree that Era's current state is nothing compared to what it used to be. share your memories in this thread!

• my first few days playing Era as a trial. my friend made a fake gang called "Irish Mafia" and we would always try to take over the newspaper factory. this was back when trials got a free weapon with 2000 ammo.
• spending time in the mines on my first night of being a p2p trying to make money for a skateboard while talking to Geo who was making money for an AK47. my first Graal friend!
• ammo hacking.
• dual handguns were a popular weapon of choice.
• joining my first gang, Los Carteles. I had to mine something like 600 rocks to join. because of that, I was given a pretty high rank.
• mining 9k for a famas took forever!
• completing the flak quest for the first time.
• getting scammed out of 5k by a section 31 member. I remember crying over this and I'm not afraid to admit it. I was like 12 years old :( cut me some slack.
• being one of the top, most respected pkers on the server. I always used to get **** for being in BB because back then BB was "the newb gang." I always had leaders offering me spots in other gangs.
• uzi boy!
• selling everything I had so I could buy 700 boxes of uzi ammo.
• getting added to panther international for the first time and using ap7s. I left before being able to use p2ks. getting in PI was a huge goal for majority players.
• knowing that ap7s were the 2nd lamest guns in the game, and they closeley compare to the current server's low end weapons.
• red dublin.
• getting my first job in a business at gun point.
• buying my first AK47. an AK back then compares to a high end weapon now!
• old school laser tag. the best event Era EVER had.
• selling my flute for dirt cheap to Smu. I think I traded it for an m4. he wound up making thousands of dollars off of it and became one of the richest players on the server.
• Falkon Jenova.
• Alloric Draven being the biggest **** talker Era had back then, next to 2pac.
• when Wil was known as Wild Wil Soul and wasn't a douchebag.
• sparring Meph to try out for BH. I beat him and he got pissy because I was playing in full screen and claimed I had a huge advantage because of it. what a newb.
• getting a job at bounty hunter because there was a BHer vs BB spar tournament and I did really well, and with only an uzi. I got a lot of respect from NYChris and he hired me. I was fired a few days later.

I'll stop there. I have a lot of random and small memories of the server. I really miss old old Era!

I'll post some of mine but so many of the Current Era players won't understand yours because they are used to (Click+Click=Profit) I remember when Joey and korupt_ed tricked the mall and ended up with like 168k in cash and more in items. thats probably my most recent memory

begging you for 10k so I can start Cassini Family.

I remember saving up for a Dc9. The moment I got enough cash, the server reset. Needless to say, I was devastated. :cry:

...
 

:\NONE.:\

Because I started playing Era when it became "awful and boring and idk what else"

I h8 threads like this 1 lol.

I'm pretty sure this is a screenie of Foray Crew killing your street gang with trials. :cool:

Spending ages trying to get the money to pay Celarion 2k so I could get into Terisu, only to be given a "temp" tag. Loved it.

lmao
you can see me in the lower left corner chillin.

it was either the hustlas or gipset taliban.

Dropping a flower or ammo under an unparked car and grabbing it to hijack the car.

When I finally got an Ak47 after weeks of mining, and showed it off to my friends. I remember when no one wasted shoots shooting guns (especially the Ak47) inside since ammo was so expensive ;)

:\

Yep. That was my base...lol, I don't remember that.

I think we did it while everyone in your gang was offline.

Foray Crew was great because it was just a front for Terisu.

when Wil was known as Wild Wil Soul and wasn't a douchebag.

i litterally LOL'd at that one

- when there was HUGE lag raids in BH <3
