Modern Level

I'm not saying anyone copied or such, but people never seem to bend towards any other sort of style. This level, or the server, might not be a copy of Era, but the first thing I think of when I see the level is Era. The graphics are similar, the tiling is similar, and if you threw it in Era, no one would be able to tell it wasn't intended for it.
I just think when people go to make a modern server, they should try to go in another direction in terms of style.

Well that is where the scripting comes in. Atrius has a lot of special things that are going to be made that will make it nothing like era. I can't really say yet lol but i do agree with you. I could see how someone could relate this to Era.

Well, that may be true. But when screenshots are posted, people aren't really going to be able to compare script and design. All they can compare as of yet is the graphics. Anytime a server breaks from using the standard tileset, graphics become a big factor in when people will think. So ya, it might be different, and I can't deny that, but people are concerned with graphics right now because that's the only think they know is actually done, contrary to ideas that might never be finished.
Almost every single modern server I have seen screenshots of, always looks like it could be put on Era without really messing up consistency. The server doesn't have to be a rip of Era, but I have a really hard time understanding why every modern server looks like Era. There are so many styles and directions that can be taken for modern tiles. I don't think anyone would scream Era rip if they didn't look so much like Era, even if it was nearly a replica in terms of gameplay.

Problem with modern tilesets are that that are based off of Era's.

Like I always say, Bravo Evolved did a great job at making a modern tileset that not only did NOT resemble Era, but looked 3x better.

I agree. Probably one of the best tilesets ever :

That's exactly my point. There are so many different ways to do modern tiles, yet for some reason everyone goes in the direction of Era... and it's not even a good reference.
