True no script can fix this the only way is if staff does something.

For example, for Black Holst you can vote between Meph, Gsput, Kae, and ionno Warhead? That way we prevent useless gang leaders and it will keep gangs active.
3. You can let staff decide and let them pick what they think is best.

1. This is a bad idea becuse you could have someone who picked flowers for like a week nonstop thats really a newbie buy a gang.

2. Thats a good idea.

3. :-/ might wana take number two on this becuse I doubt anything would change if we went this way.

Good idea but kinda bad IE PT didnt stock colts 24/7 becuse they tryed to keep the price up if taxes ate up the cash they made from the limited sells of the colts they wouldent be making much at all. (I also think this would hurt businesses and people would raise the prices on the items.)

This is a good idea

I would say it is becuse when a guns released staff nurf it then people sell it on the street for like 1k-2k (MD5) a guy whos shop gets billed has to make some money to get ahead.

You would have alot of people pop over to the best gang gun like LC's 552 another reason staff didnt taglock I think was becuse people *****ed about PI's old guns.

If a person works hard and has the money for something, they should be able to buy it; it's a free market economy for the most part.

The biggest reason why that wouldn't work ,Someone with 10 hours with no experience at all in a gang or anything would have a gang..Never mind the fact if it was a trial or a newb they probably would sell the gang for like 5k or get scammed out of it.

I agree with #2 of what nub said of letting us have a vote between active past leaders or top heads but not only for gangs but businesses too..

Speedy Pizza wasn't rereleased this reset because the person who owned it before reset was Morano and didn't come back..I was co owner and was never even contacted but that isn't the point.

The gangs with say two years history have actually been participating in the development of their in-game content. You really don't have any right to hijack something that's been worked on for so long.

Perhaps you should petition for that new Irish gang or somesuch?

You hve no idea about leadership. Buying gangs will never, ever work. Don't even try and bring that in here. You complain you want a gang, but you wouldn't last 3 hours leading it, and if you did you would fill with a bunch of low skilled players and been overrun in a second from someone who actually can lead. Then you would cry about it. No, not ever.Giving it to the old gang leaders usually is a better bet then selling the gang off or voting on a new leader, unless the leadership choice is limited like Nub said and that still might not work. I say no to this idea of selling gang wholeheartedly.

I would never want to own nor operate a gang, I personally don't like attachments aside loose association.

A reset is a reset, old gangs should be TRASHED if we're to have a real reset. New things should go to those who work hardest for them, nothing should be a handout as things have been.

P.S. I hate *****es like you who talk in condescending tones to people they don't know.

You can't keep an economy straight, simply put.

Sorry, I played before pretty much almost everyone

Thrashsoul3 · #**136** 08-04-2006, 08:03 AM

It all went downhill after Angel stopped working on Era. None of the current staff can convey the great ideas she and chrisz had.

Sum41Freeeeek · #**137** 08-04-2006, 08:18 PM

I think it pretty much went downhill when JENN aquiered(sp) manager.

Hey man, Terisu has caused more resets than anybody.

Bl0nkt · #**141** 08-05-2006, 06:46 AM

It did die on Ning's inheritance. However, he wasn't around long enough to leave such a big impression like Jenn did.

But he did give it to Jenn.. I quit right before Chrisz quit. I think I was playing GK or maybe even quit graal at that time. Err.. actually what year did Chrisz quit?

gameer213 · #**143** 08-05-2006, 09:02 AM

Maybe talking about when Era gets better would be better then talking about when it got bad?

KuJi · #**144** 08-05-2006, 09:30 AM

No, we prefer to live in the past when it looked better then nothing. sorry.

Shotoo2 · #**145** 08-05-2006, 09:13 PM

I'm local banned on Era right now for trying to let you guys see what you're in for.

k0rupt_ed · #**146** 08-05-2006, 09:45 PM

Lemme guess.. Hell?

natchez416 · #**147** 08-05-2006, 10:26 PM

I think the new Era should look more like a real city. Have a downtown area with skyscrapers. Make a little Italy, China town etc... There should also be ritch and poor areas of the city.

Definitly.

Bl0nkt · #**152** 08-06-2006, 08:13 PM

Making a 2d city is harder than it looks. Bravo managed to make an ok-feel city but Era would demand much more. If we WERE to take that approach, you can refer to the rooftops CTF map (which I'm now transforming into a better event. I think you'll all like it a lot).

Curt1zzle · #**153** 08-06-2006, 10:48 PM

Who's the manager today?

This I find extra funny. Didn't you give me a load of guns so I would stay on your server GraalX : ?

Snk never caused a reset. He never gave out guns, he gave out things that dissappeared when we used it (ex: Supers). So what if he stocks for GP? Rekon would be rich either way just like every other business owner.

The only problem I have with Snk is the fact that he always gives Era away to someone that obviously can't manage the server to prove how important he is (Ex: Veelox / Skyld). And maybe the fact that he Phe3rs D4 Gl0b4ls.
