Era was supposed to reset years ago. We're already past Zodiac in terms of failure on that front.

If Era has an organized/structured plan, can maintain their assets and time they'll do just fine.

I however did not have much of a plan other than make updated versions of a lot of systems, and during the start of fall when college started to take a lot of my time I stopped so I wouldn't get burnt out.

How many years has it been since the staff in general started on new Era?

[Jugglernaut]

But I'm asking how big Era's project is, because I believe it will be a lot longer before Era resets.

I'm pretty sure this thread is worthless. This is just a copy of another thread.

Why are we wasting time posting when ideas have already been discussed??

I demand a bell ringing sound when the elevators in gang bases gets to my floor.

I demand a suicidal clown woman holding a rifle crying for her pet poodle in a tower.

Which would bring up a new idea: A short wait before it actually makes it to the next floor because since they go there instantly upon grabbing the button, you'd end up with some jerk going
DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING

...etc, that's even annoying to read, let alone hear.

Sounds can only be played clientside anyway. If 4 people go in and only one hears the "Ding" though, defeats the purpose of his idea.

YEAAH!!

i say add a waiting time on elevators so people can't just spam the button when you're trying to go to another floor.

It's REALLY annoying

I may be wrong about clientside/serverside stuff, but theres key words on UN that if people say, everyone in the level hears them. Im drawing a blank of what they are. But people always spam them so you can't miss it

I like the idea of beeping noises for when the elevator. And instead of switches for controlling up and down you could use a gui menu that looks something like this.

And in the rooms it would be nice to show what floor the elevator is on, and the same goes for the inside of the elevator. So if you're already in the elevator you could know when some one is about to use the elevator. If you're not in the elevator you would even know what floor the player went on.

From a technical standpoint, all sounds are clientside, but it's definitely not impossible to play sounds for everyone. Not sure where TSA got that idea. Guns do that every time you shoot them.

Back when houses had working door bells when another player would ring the bell everyone in the house in any level could hear the door bell ringing.

What idea? I know that you can do a "for" loop clientside and play the sound clientside for all players in the level, I never implied you couldn't. However, I was under the impression that is what the other guy was suggesting. Sorry if there was confusion. I'd have thought people would know me well enough to know what I meant was assumed knowledge

Chris already touched on this by pointing out the guns thing, but ganis are the best workaround for playing sounds for other people to hear and this is probably what UN is doing. Era has the exact same thing by the way. /roxbury

Era should look like this.

[Jugglernaut]

So should I assume Jerret said what you meant to say, Chris?

What? The last post I see from Jerret is his explanation why Zodiac "v2" is taking longer than expected. Why would you think I meant to say that?

[Jugglernaut]

Because you have yet to reply to my other post

[Komali]

Personally I like to see numbers on my HUD because I like to look at everything mathematically and not estimate with health bars. Other than that, I like the ideas proposed.

I think the whole point is so that people don't know how much health they have left, exactly.
You might think you have just over a 1/7 of your health left when really you only have 18 health left, so you'll stay and fight instead of running because you think you can take another hit.

But in reality people are ****ing pathetic disgusting dirty pig scum cowards and are just as likely, if not more likely, to start running at 21-30hp because they're not sure if they have 1 or 2 more hits left. YOU ALL MAKE ME SICK.

I don't mind the updates...
But to be quite honest, I don't really like the idea; myself.
I won't vote No on the poll though as I do want to see a reset either way.

I'm not a PVPer, wich is why I don't like the gun content.
Stuff like instruments, including piano, could be restocked in instrument shop at least monthly...
I (and I'm sure some other girls that multi server between era and UN) would like to see some content that lets you stay around town, or in your houses.
Maybe even more houses, or just delete the SOUTHRIDGE houses general idea of garages if its too laggy and build a LOT more sewers.
or (i like sr concept) so you could always -expand- that idea and build an entirely new town called NORTHRIDGE with more homes and locker places, gas station, all that good stuff.
Oh and delete the illegal house salesman built that has 27 levels & restore all old house themes to 2 levels each house as default view so they have to pay to reupgrade again in the reset, taking more money off new economy!

I don't think Era is for you. Era's not supposed to be an idling/social interacting server. Era is for PKing. No offense, but I think you should just stick to UN if you're looking for a server to "stay around town" or "stay in your house."

The idea about reducing houses to 2 levels and making them pay for additions is initially what was done. All of the extra levels in the current houses were payed for, so deleting them and make people pay again would be redundant.

These instruments are why people idle at unstick me..... and why Era is so boring at times. The main purpose of Era is to PK, after that it'd be making money..... Instruments should be on the bottom of priority list.

Also, Era does not need more homes. It's as simple as this: If a player goes inactive for a certain amount of time, they auction off the house and give the player his/her items via attributes. Why keep building houses when inactive players own them and serve no purpose?

Also, I really hope the gang side weapon idea is reconsidered. I really liked the idea personally.

Event items (instruments) never should have never been able to be traded in the first place (at the time though I think it was just so we could get the rich players to actually spend their money). Instruments should have only been a main priority to participate in events. Then the main focus would be at making money for weapons and ammunition.

Era is for everyone Torque, That's why its a playerworld server and not a private hosted server. Get your facts straight and stop trying to ruin graal ^_^
And why would people be paying again, all guns and money will be reset, duh.

Era is a PKing server above all else, therefore FantasyX is likely correct in saying that Era is not for you if you do not enjoy PKing. The fact that anyone can logon the server doesn't mean the server will be enjoyed by everyone .

No need to bash anyone, sweetheart. I was kindly telling you Era is for PKing. Era is not for everyone, and I'm not ruining Graal by promoting that Era is for players that enjoy to PK...there are many playerworlds for players to enjoy but they aren't supposed to appeal to every player.

I think you're misunderstanding the whole concept that makes Graal unique. The point of having multiple servers in the game is so that you have different options of game genres to choose from. If you want to play an RPG server, play Zodiac or GK. If you want to play something that's more focused on player vs. player content, play Era or Zone. I think I've made my point clear by now.

If each server catered to the needs of every player, there would be no individuality among all of the servers. Simply put; if you don't like what Era is based around, go somewhere else.

[DesirableDreams]

Oh, my bad. I forgot whoever scripted and built these features had more of an objective than the 13 year old who can't get it right. sorry man.
