I totally agree with you tho, being negative won't get Era anywhere.

I don't know a whole lot about the history of Era's staff teams, but I know from the time I've worked here, there hasn't been any significant spawning.

I remember back then, some guy paid for Era's Dev server, and then he got a job as a GANI artist or something with alot of rights, and soon he spawned ALOT of cash and gave it out. He was fired, but I think the Era Dev Server he paid for stayed. A rollback happend too though.

Gooood times.

the guy that paid for the dev server never had an RC so I don't know what you're talking about.

the person that spawned all the cash I believe was Mesh, and that was way after my days in power.

Im pretty sure he did? Everyone said he spawned the cash and he was perma-banned.

Good times though. That day was fun.

Icarus and I were the only ones who could add RC at that time and I'm more than sure the person (I won't say his name) that paid for our dev server never had an RC. there was also never a rollback during Jack's management. the situation you're talking about is with Mesh. that's when the server came off of the server list to rollback and we all found out it was Mesh but they tried to hide it.

Pelikano · #22 08-01-2009, 10:22 PM

No, that person did not get RC.

Mesh didn't spawn money though nor did he give out money. Mesh only took items from peoples houses who didn't play anymore.

Also, in agreement to what Frankie said. The person who paid for the dev server never had RC.

The reason the economy is destroyed is mostly from duping, not from spawning (or at least while I've worked here).

you have to realize that the last time Era reset was January of 2007. that is 2 1/2 years ago. how long have you been staff? a few months? just because the current staff team full of little innocent angels hasn't done anything to hurt the economy doesn't mean it didn't happen in the past with previous staff.

You weren't even around back then o_O

Just shut up about the economy! It may be fixed now but just watch, everything will just mess up again. NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO, it will just go back down to crap.
Reason being is because of players being greedy. If a player is selling a gun originally worth 20k, he might want 30k for it, players will take note of this and start to think of it being worth more etc. The only solution to this is having SET prices;i.e. you cant sell a gun worth 20k for 30k, it must be in the range of 15k-25k.

Ooh interesting. Era is a modern aged server and in real life people sell stuff for more than what its worth. Its called merchanting.

Skatertay · #28 08-02-2009, 12:00 PM

Not to bring up names.. but Thrash, several months ago also did the same... I was speaking with him while it was going down.

If there was such a rule irl... that'd be damn nice.

I buy ink for my printer the same price I bought the printer inclusive ink!

I do remember the glitch abuse where the server would lag with stefan doing something at 3PM EST all the time allowed players to dupe their weapons, and that happened during when Icarus was incharge because the ecomony went sky high in Icarus's management, guns rse to 1mill and above due to the duping. Mesh took items out of people's houses only, he didn't spawn any **** or cause the ecomony to screw worse.
