Gun Skins!

I agree. Not to mention that the people who would actually be capable of making quality skins is a small subset of that already small playerbase.

Also I feel like I should address this:

The plan was to make basic colors for every gun, that way there would at least be SOME skins for every gun, THEN to start making custom, good-looking skins.

The playercount of GK is much smaller than Era and generates significantly more gelat sales daily. Playercount is a moot point.

It doesn't have to be one or the other. Also, quality is a relative term. So long as something is nicer than the last it is considered "higher quality". Players don't expect masterpieces.

If Era can improve their value in Graal Online then a few VERY beneficial opportunities become available. Would you rather your low quality $100 Era Dollar gun skins in an uncompetitive market today or a significantly better server in 6 months? Your choice boss.

Hmm, the skin submission is possible of course, I'm not against the idea either. So who knows, it may be added in the future

Anyways, after much discussion with Zachary and some other fellow staff members, we've refunded everyone's money/currency for their gun skins and have lowered the prices. Along with lower prices, we've also added every skin to every currency, meaning you can buy any skin with either EC's, Mystery Coins, or regular money!

We've also released every gun skin for the guns we currently have listed. However, we still have many guns we are still working on, so don't worry! More guns will be listed as they are finished.

If there are any problems at all, or if you think you did not receive your skin refund, please contact me or any other administrator in-game!

Thanks!

When did we start talking about Gelats?

No offense, but GK isn't exactly the gold standard for games that I want to play, let alone spend money on, so using it to make your point doesn't convince me that what you're saying is a good idea.

I would argue that players do expect masterpieces.

what beneficial opportunities are you referring to?

Skins don't cost $100.

You're super overselling your idea.

What you're suggesting is an incremental change. What I'm suggesting is a radical change. I know it's scary and confusing for a lot of people who don't understand the far reaching effects but it would be really beneficial for this server.

If Era can prove it is as valuable or more valuable than iServers it may be enough to not just secure a role in the future but step up beyond Graal PC. So I'll ask again - do you want to have your skins today for whatever era-dollar value they have and have a very bleak future or do you want something incredible in 6 months? I anticipate your answer will still be "don't make me think".

If we had the perfect world with a perfect development team and could make everything instantaneously, then yes this would be awesome. We don't though, so stop taking it so seriously and being all gung-ho. Dev's time would better be spent elsewhere.

[Kohola_KinG]

Anyways. Yes, booger is right. Development would be better spent elsewhere. Skins should be our last concern.

It's a market place for customization. There is more in development on Era than this.

It's a shame that I was framed into being excluded from Era, would be great to watch the game I grew up with grow, I on the hand have to completely agree with Stephen, anything that can shine to be a next-generation type of feature will secure your chances of ever merging or becoming a iPhone v2 server.

No one cares that you were banned and no one takes pity on you because you use the word "excluded" instead of "banned". The real shame is that not one thread can be free of you peppering in stuff about your personal problems.

I don't have a personal stake in your business, but I've gone a while without saying anything and it's just kind of annoying, really.

What you should really be doing is not mentioning it at all. That way, people will eventually forget about it, 3 managers will go by, and you'll be back by mid 2014, all without us having to suffer your sob story.

What he should be doing is moving on with his life. Literally all this kid does is complain about every single little thing anyone does ever, much like booger. It will be a dark day when he returns to Era. Under my management, he was never supposed to be unbanned. This only occurred because he wasn't placed under a normal ban, it was purely VID, which ran out some time during my management. You should be grateful that you were allowed to stay as long as you did.
