New Era incentives!

Take 5 steps on the Gmap get $5!

Take 20 shots from a weapon get free box of ammo!

Type 50 letters get $400!

Really guys...really...you think this is the way to fix Era...

How about delete the surplus of guns you have go back to 10 guns MAX, and work from there. The economy on Era holds on too tight to the other aspect of the game, something that never used to be there while Era was successful. Make everything accessible in a reasonable amount of time and you will have new players and constant competition.

I understand you're being sarcastic, but what was the underlying message of your post? That we give rewards for doing trivial things?

I haven't seen anyone advocating giving incentives for stuff like that. It always has to do with PKing of some sort.

Point being that the playerbase has became so accustomed to some type of economical reward for every single thing you do in the game. Era's "fun" on the server is determined by how well you play it's economy..no one can just pick it up and play it and be decent you have to invest hours and hours to be on par with the lowest tier of players. I just feel this has been a poor direction for Era to move in and this addition only further reinforces going that way.

this x1000

back when daz was the manager I tried suggesting that we take ourselves away from being so heavily involved with the economy and try to make more of an arcade style of game play. you could still build your inventory and collect items but the core of era's game play is pking and should be treated as such.

the server needs some serious change. people are losing interest. seems like the only players are ones that play out of nostalgia or because they are rich and feel like they don't want to abandon the game. new players straggle in every so often and they are most likely people who found out about graal from the iphone servers and decided to give the pc version a try.

era has potential to be fun again. the concept of graal/era is awesome. you have a little character you can customize and you can run around and kill people. but the game play sucks and isn't on par with other games in the market. from a new player's perspective, why spend so much time trying to make money to buy a gun that won't even put you near an even playing field with other players? nobody is going to buy into this that way. unless you have been playing this game for years you won't have any chance in this game.
