Bounty Hunters!

The great bounty hunters are gone!
Yes they have been replacing by an npc system, so they are no longer player runned. Some people find this as a bad thing, but after talking to some people they have agreed its alright. Here are some comments on some era players.

Vman13x: What do you think about on the removal of Bounty Hunters?
Pusherman: Well, I think its kinda unfair because they shut down bher, but not ppa, and bher was doing good, or atleast as good as ppa.
Vman13x: Do you like the new system or the old system better?
Pusherman: Well, I never really used the old system because sometimes bher members could not get the job done, but now with the new system if I put a 1k bounty on someone, I know they will get killed for the money because of the money and experience of the 150hp thing if I put 10k on someone I would have half of era running to get the bounty money, so yea, the new system is kinda better, letting players in on the action.
Vman13x: Alright pusherman thank you for your time :).

Events Team Updates.

As Maverick became the ETA (Events Team Admin), many things happened in the Events Administration, a lot of events were developed such as new Gravity races, Gas chamber, Explosive chance and more!

Also, Events prices were changed, they introduced a new “Heli-Bomb” which is a flying guided bomb that you can control where you want it to go (2ECs for 6)! And the “Nuke” A bomb you can drop anywhere you like on the map and it kills anyone within a large radius!(8Ecs).

Gang gun removal!

Sales announced randomly that the gang guns were removed, and everyone who had one got 35k back. The news caused era player to be a little confused as to why they were removed. Sales also said that he had his reasons to remove the gang guns, and was planning on doing it for sometime now.
After interviewing an era player
Vman13x: What are your views on the removal of gang guns?
Xen: Well, I think that it was a waste of time. Sales removed it because it wasnt fair to others, but I think otherwise. Gang guns were one of those things gangs had that were special. It was a big mistake.
Vman13x: Since gang guns are gone, are the raids less interesting or more?
Xen: Less interesting. It was pretty cool watching each gang vs another gang with their own unique weapon. Its now just the same. Deagles vs SD cannons vs angels, ect.
Vman13x: Did the gang guns affect the raids?
Xen: Not at all, but made them more interesting!
Vman13x: Alright xen thanks for your time.
