All this jibber jabber and hating on Era, but yet everyone still plays . Words, no actions amongst the players. If you really don't like it. Quit playing, go play a new server, make the playercount drop. Then maybe staff will listen to your thoughts. As of now they're like yeaaa, we've got enough players.

First off, Player Owned Businesses. Those were fun because it was a great way to make money quickly. Now, the only people who own businesses are either the rich kids or someone who just HAPPENS to know a staff member. I remember a time when you worked to get a biz and it all paid off in the end. Now, its just an overpriced disaster.

Second, I like what's been done with the northern part of Era, the buildings look superb.

Third, why should the cars be 10k or more? When I started era, the cars were 7k and it was very fun to earn the money for the car. Now, its just a pain in the ass.

Finally, these guns, like the Lexel Rifle for example, have plain stupid prices. I mean, 50k for a gun? Same goes for gang weapons too. I'm doomed to live with my AK-47 and $18 ammo for all my time on Era?

Things like these make me want to quit era again.

Wow your really new, good Era was when Chrisz ran it that stuff you got was crap.

If I remember correctly you were one of them trying to replicate it and failing...At least for a while.

No its "I know person X and Y and you don't so I'm better than you." Which is how they should have left it but all those idiots screwed it up.

Because most of the staff are noobs who didn't play old Era when it had a real player count that could rival UN sometimes.

I think we can thank the new UN (Zodiac) for wrecking that
