Eranian's update on how the server is

[Eranian]

Perfect.
Nice work everyone.

Era definitely provided something new to Graal that no other server has in terms of both content and community. On Era the player interaction is part of the gameplay and you can openly see the friendships and rivalries between members of different gangs, people who have scammed eachother, etc. It's really interesting to watch and fun to be a part of.

The gameplay is centered around a fun never-ending battle between individuals, groups of friends, and gangs over money and resources. It is also possible, however, to completely bypass the killing aspect on the game and focus on economic pursuits. As well as the default NPC controlled jobs it is possible to become the owner of one of the in-game businesses and be in control of hiring other players as employees, buy a car, buy a house, collect items, etc. All of these things will be accentuated after the reset, with the revitalization of the player-owned businesses; the limiting of the default jobs that should make the game fairer for everybody and easier for the new players to ease into; and the addition of a gang point system that will mean gangs can really wipe eachother out, giving more players a chance to lead their own gang.

Staying true to Graalian form, Era has quests of its own which increase your maximum health. The quests on Era range from infiltrating a Ninja base to killing Zombies in the sewers. The baddies have recently been totally rescripted with new baddy AI that allows them to dodge, and I've heard that they are planning more quests for after the reset.

All-in-all Era is an excellent server that is still making great progress.
