I like sales ideas, but why don't you guys add more things from new era to the current era to make things more fun for the current players?

The new gang system will be introduced on the main server when it's completed. We will also be releasing rescripted/remade events and a new EventBot on the main server when it's completed.

This is great news!

It's really tempting to get my phone and get two gelat codes.

"Sounds", its probably not going to get finished for quite some time, and why do you pay for this? It looks like they are trying to make it to where less people play this, if you need to pay every month less people will play this.

Yeah, and there also WILL be a reset and a new era. We've heard that same song for years now, can we get an ETA?

Venom_Fish · #6 02-01-2010, 09:37 PM

Whats up with the Gang Gun Racks or so, when will we be able to test those?

bottem line is that sales and vimes will both quit era before the reset is complete like the last 3 managers

I can see Sales, Chris Vimes doesn't have much else to do. Although, if they don't...even though it goes without saying; I don't see the reset for quite awhile.

I honestly don't really see any point in having a reset.. nor do I see a reason to create a "New Era". I personally think it would be best to take what Era currently is and just improve certain things, and make a lot of add-ons. If a "New Era" is made.. well, than it won't be Era at all, it will be something else.

getting everything ready on a server where only the staff can critique and make adjustments and ignoring the real server = why the real server sucks so bad

A reset is necessary to release some of the long overdue system improvements, and to give everyone a fresh start after so many economic screw ups we've had in the past (and present

).

The term "New Era" was coined when promises of a new gmap, new jobs, etc came with the development. A reset is a big thing for players, and dev teams usually feel like they have to make a big deal out of it. Just about everything that could be released on the main server was when it was ready, unfortunately though, most of the new systems are designed around things that cannot be moved.

You have to remember that we are all volunteers, and may not work as fast as you would like us to, but everything we do on the dev server is to improve Era as a whole. I think it's important that everyone knows that Era Dev is just a place for us to work without screwing everything up on the main server, and is not some foreign server that will replace the Era you've enjoyed for so long.

Sure sounds like it. From the way you the Dev Team speak of it, sounds like you're scripting and building a whole new Era from scratch.

I'm still curious as to whats wrong with the current GMAP.
Oh, you're no longer manager... elaborate.

Also, I'm not sure why adding 1-2 additional jobs isn't enough, why you all need to replace the current jobs, lol. They seem to be functional; apparently able to substain this era.

Everything will be rescripted, yes. We will be reusing lots of levels, and also making new ones and improving olds ones.

The current GMAP has a lot of wasted space and isn't organized in any way. For example, the instrument shop currently resides in a former box factory.

We only plan to add one job (fishing?), if that. The other jobs will just be rescripted or maybe changed to be more interactive/fun.

Would you be willing to elaborate at all on what the businesses are going to be like, or are you going to wait to disclose that?

I don't know much right now except that we want to eliminate pure grabbing businesses and force them to operate working working with each other. There may be some business which cuts trees, for example, then produces some item which is needed for another business to operate (like a mixing spoon for Dairy Hut).

Lame example, but you get the point.
