I'm going to stick around as LAT and help make this "New World" if you people choose
to reset. I enjoy making levels, and I'm not going to hop on the bandwagon because
Andrew, Dai, Morg, and Mange quit. Let me promise everyone, you won't regret a
reset (besides the fact you're losing everything) I will, in my best of power make sure
this won't turn out like "Jenn Era" as some of you might say.

Great! Something that needed to be done along time ago. I did enjoy this over alot of things. But I believe a new map, and a bunch of stuff to be fixed sounds good. Such as making weapons alot more rare! Which makes me happy, seeing alot of this kids that have 20hrs and already having 5 cars, a biz, and tons of weapons is stupid. I'm glad your doing this, I support you skyld.

Skyld, what I heard is that you demoted and made your self Manager. You are absurd. Go away. There's better people for manager.

I think really on Era They should give you a weapon and ammo so then it wouldn't be a total loss

SkyID, how precisely are you planning on compensating people for their gym levels?
I'm currently level 10 speed and level 5 strength. That's somewhere around 75 hours of gym training.

Before you answer, please go and try to do 1 straight hour of treadmilling. Then just ATTEMPT to multiply that by 60 in your head.

Then do 1 hour of strength training, and multiply that by 15.

Yeah. Please. What the hell.


Also, Terisu Family has been selective on who it sells its gang weapon too, and only has 1 leaked weapon.

So um... yeah, there must be some way to compromise here.

Rather than resetting the entire server, why not target problem points? Would it not be possible to find areas that have caused problems, alleviate find a resolution for the issue, and offer appropriate compensation to any parties who have suffered loss?

In the case of people having ridiculous amounts of money, that's mostly from scamming. Have a look at Nubszz, he is (or was the last time I checked) the richest guy on Era. Incidentally, he has barely done any work himself. He just suckered a whole bunch of people. There's no way to stop that, really. People are always going to be stupid, and others greedy and ambitious.

Me? I never had the knack or willpower for scamming. I've spent over 250 of my 744 Era hours sweating it out in the mines, digging seashells, shooting targets, picking flowers, delivering letters, doing taxi runs for the mafia, running treadmills and lifting weights, all to make my gaming experience more enjoyable. I only earned 30 odd thousand, but with that money and the friends I've made in Era, I've earned a katana, a car, a pair of colts, a pinecone egg or two, a famas, an MS, a few BHers and various event prizes. I have also been given a unique hat from my friend, adding to my collection of other paraphenalia. I'm in a guild (the best on the server ), and have positions in Dairy Hut and Ninja. Did I mention that I spent 75 effing hours in the gym?

The people who are voting "yes" to the reset are both too lazy to earn their perks like I have, and too ethically motivated (or just plain stupid) to sucker people in the fashion of Nubszz.

While I was enduring the monotony of the less enjoyable aspects of the game for the sole purpose of PERMANENTLY improving my future gaming experience, these people were running around shooting people and spouting such wisdom as "2ez nub" and "omg noob HAHAHAHA", not to mention the rather more vile insults hurled about.

Why should these people that have not taken the time and effort to take advantage of the game system that the admin team has put in place have the right to cut my legs out from under me?

I paid for this game, and I certainly paid for the perks that I've acheived. I do not want them taken away from me.

Just quit like the majority of Era's community, and I.

In all honesty, all you'd need to do to fix the economy is disable all businesses' weapon sales, take a tally of the number of weapons of each type on Era and their respective costs, and adjust their stats and production costs accordingly.

Most of the people that have been consistantly asking for a reset based on the "Economy being ****ed" are just complaining that it's possible to work hard and get good results in this game.

If they want to be able to peak out their character's ability early and have everyone truly equal, they should go play UN.

If on the other hand they want to acheive an advantage over the other people on the server, they should expend the time and effort to do so.

I've only been playing since January/February this year, and I'm doing pretty damn well.

I CERTAINLY do not want the time I've spent to be wasted on their behalves.

:
People are not stupid for voting yes. me myself i voted yes, even tho i do not wanna loose my hard earned stuff, yet i would like to see better things on era, instead of seeing scammed stuff here and there, and people having stuff that their not suppose to have, or having stuff that is impossible for other players to have, AND TO MUCH Damage on certain items, like Bamboo stick for example, where the livin hell did that come from? and it has too much damage.

and as mentioned sumwhere before, how people got stuff from being favorites with staff, thats got to stop.

Remember what happened to the playercount last reset? O_o
I would kinda like to keep my items, though we all worked pretty hard to EARN what we got and.....its like losing your house, It sucks to have to earn everything back.
