sage shadowbane had an interest in a GFX job so I'm going to have him work on graphical improvements.

anyway..
we need new ways of making money.
ideas?

I think bounty hunting should be made public... anyone can get money for bounties that are made on people. it doesn't need it's own business with all these lame weapons

Ok so heres my idea that just popped into my head.

So to make the economy work and provide more jobs my idea is to have a weapons manufacturing plant. All the guns on era must come from there. Shops buy the guns from there and are made with materials from the mines.
The plant then delivers the guns to the shop. So it needs to employ drivers (or it can be a free lance job for ppl with cars?).

And for more funness. Maybe drivers could get robbed between delivery points and therefore need to hire protection like PPA or something.

Anyways I think bounty hunting should be made public but maybe up the fee so theres not to many bounties.

Also on the topic on robbery, Maybe gangs/parties could rob gang bases. That would encourage raids and more gang members aswell as ppl guarding there base. But it should be difficult and only doable with some of that gang online. Maybe it could require a lock picking skill or something.

Also its to expensive to buy things with event coins, like 200? win 200 events?

Also lol with the reset, it might make some ppl go to atrius if its classic by then.

I rather like the current Bounty Hunter system now.
It's more effective than it's ever been.

I do, however, think that the minimum price to put a bounty should be lowered
to about $200; and even lower when the reset comes around. It'd bring in more business.

I also like the mutual agreement that PPA and Bounty Hunter have; we
both follow certain PK guidelines, but we're free to attack one another on sight.
It gives Era more of a "rivalry" feel.

Hey, Atrius is pretty fun when it's got a playercount.
The only downsides to Atrius I've seen are:

• Bases aren't PK-friendly.
• Atrius staff are highly unprofessional. They act like children,
  and use staff tools as if it's their playground.
• The majority of active players spend more time making money than PKing.

Fix at least two of the above issues, and Atrius would get headway.
