Ignorance.

Why not?

Not everyone can or wants to play daily...these people shouldn't be shafted out of being in a gang. I personally log on every so often to join in on gang raids or gang events, but now I've likely been removed from my gang.

My statement was a bit exaggerated to emphasize my point. Limiting the number of people who are able to participate in one of the things that makes Era, Era, is a terrible idea.

Gangs shouldn't be exclusive. Exclusivity has always been a huge problem on Era, and new players are often driven away because they don't stand a chance. This update does nothing but drive away new players (and also casual players such as myself who like to participate in gang activities on occasion).

Like with what sales said 'server revolves around gangs'... the sorry fact is that this isn't true. Gangs are just another part of the server, some people would prefer to not join gangs and just be parties or play instruments or merchant. It is an incentive to some people, not to others; but that's how it was regardless of this update.

You cannot compare the importance of gangs to instruments or merchanting. You just can't.

It's been tried before (more than once!). It didn't work. Last I checked there was a poll and the majority said that they didn't want a limit?


edit: a whopping 16 people voted for the 25-man member limit...way to listen to your players!

Actually, I did. The majority of the people voted "yes". So I added the limit. However, they also voted for it to be a 30 gang limit. I put a 25 gang limit yesterday after speaking with the leaders of the gangs. Afterwards, I remembered 30 won the poll in the first place so a few hours/minutes later I changed the limit to 30. So yes, it is 30 right now.

Spoiler: It doesn't work and in a few months you're probably going to adjust the cap, change leaders around, and end up exactly where you left off but this time you're even more stressed out as a result.
