Era's Graaloween 2009!

[Venom_Fish]

You could've done more for Holloween, this seems silly. Who buries pumpkins? rofl.

I'd imagine that being a chore. Could've done something like Monster Pumpkins that shoot out pies and you have to kill them, don't know something more interactive.

People HATE to work for money, but you expect them to indulge the idea of digging for an unknown prize? Good luck with that.

We also could have taken weeks to prepare with new graphics and stuff for a two-week event.

Our time is better spent elsewhere. No one is forcing you to participate.

So you say, but time will indeed tell. I hope wherever your time is being spent, its for the better, for Era's sake... it can't afford it to be otherwise.

Oh, that orange Graaloween at the top right hand corner of my screen sure seems to be nudging me into it, can you remove it or disable it?

I see this whole thing as a money sink, shovel prices and repair fees hiked, and a prize hinted but nothing saying there is one or you will get anything other then a "Gj" as reward. People will spend a large quantity of money trying to win because they hope what they get is good

Where is elsewhere? a different server?
Cus im not seeing nothing new...
You'll reply with "Era v2".
We havnt seen that.
How about you take a leaf out of zodiac's book, and post daily updates on whats happening, with screenshots etc etc.

There are no screenshots or impressive updates. The entire staff team is completely swamped with either work or school. There's not a lot we can get done, and when we get time, there are more important things to do than Halloween updates.

However, assuming the graphics are ready, we should have some prizes ready in the next few days.

I agree, why not do more for it? Era is losing people anyways..lol..why not give it a shot?

But maybe there will be more to come, halloween event-wise.

I do like the light effect for the gmap though

So wait, it's silly and unreasonable to think that someone would bury pumpkins, yet in the very next line you suggest monster pumpkins that shoot pies at the player. That's logical.



Sure people hate to work for money. But it's an unknown prize. Might be good, might be bad. It's a risk you'll have to take. It's like going to the casino.

And here's a shocker, no one forces you to. Don't like it? Don't do it.

The best part about this is everyone's reaction. If it's just a little event, they complain. WOW, CAN'T DO ANY BETTER THAN THAT?

Yet if we had made custom graphics and scripted some elaborate quests and events...then they'd go "WOW GOOD JOB WASTING YOUR TIME ON POINTLESS HOLIDAY ****, FOCUS AND FINISH UP ERA DEV INSTEAD, DUMBASSES."
