My Era Ideas

[Spikedude]

Mange and Sales are gone, along with Andy and myself, making this, for the second time in the last months, an extremely inactive staff team.

The biggest issue to be worried about right now is the reset. It's obvious that it still needs to take place as the economy of Era is completely screwed up far beyond repair, especially now that it's been announced for over a year. So how will it be accomplished? The biggest thing that needs to be done is the new systems. Sales and Andy were creating almost everything themselves previously, and now they're both gone. We now have Tig and Crow, and the new tag team needs to fix the Gang System, Business System, no-drop system, the primary/secondary weapon system, as well as finishing all the random systems that Vulcan/Hachi/Andy started, many of which will need to be started over. Tig and Crow should have a main priority of finishing these systems and be given a break on everything else.

Deophite and Tig are both close to ineligible to being Manager. Tig is manager of GK and Deophite is awaiting a PWA position, which is why he was placed as GP Admin on Era to begin with. Both could be temporary managers or temporary admins, however, but a more permanent fix is needed, especially after watching the trends of staff movement. So who's left? The only person left on the staff team who has the ability to move up is Meph. He's active and is now known as a fair administrator, so he would be most likely to move up. Besides that, the only other option is to bring in a non-staff member and get them to work their way up. Either way, a manager is going to be needed and very soon, and I think the recent events should light that up as well. Servers fail when there is no authority, and it's been proven many many times.

The economy of Era, after the reset, should be much better because all methods of duping have been fixed/patched. However, the economy is not 100 percent safe of falling. There will always be people who are willing to spend 24/7 earning virtual money. So how can we fix this problem? My suggestion is to make some of the most lucrative businesses in the game NPC owned. This would take out a lot of the money from the economy. Additionally, quests should have things that are mandatory to buy in order to complete them. If there is a quest that awards +10 hp, then the person should have to buy a universal door key for 1000 dollars in order to enter the first room. Again, this would take out hundreds of thousands of dollars from the server.

With gangs and businesses, many many fixes need to be made. I'd been watching a few as GBA but never had enough information to make some of the necessary moves. BHer is falling and not earning money and needs a new leader, PPA needs a system to operate or needs to be removed, PT needs a new owner because of Amber's inactivity, BB needs a new owner because of noto/BP's combined inactivity, ALS needs a warning because of spikekid's inactivity, though he was never warned before, DD needs to be watched because of prior offenses by Nas, and LC needs a permanent owner, as it is currently being run by Nas and Exolia in order to bring activity back to the gang, and DH needs to be completely overtaken as Omar has been inactive for a very long period of time and they have kind of been forgotten about. Also, on top of that, GRC needs to be converted to the SP system or given a new owner in order to keep it stocked.

Anyone else have ideas on top of this? (this thread doesn't include the whole four-corners gang idea as it's been outlined in about a trillion and three other threads).
