Era is Overdue for a Reset (And Why)

[Emera]

I understand the reasons given as to why Era would benefit a reset, but wouldn't players be a little annoyed to find that when they log on, all of their items, money, guns or whatever else have been cleared? Perhaps carrying out a test to see what kind of impact a reset would have on Era, ask the players if they like what's been said and then if approved by a PWA go ahead with the reset if the majority of Era's player count agree.

And Stefan said no, to a reset. So, I am gone. Screw Era, screw Graal. A reset was the last hope to see if it would succeed or be dead as it is, and will forever be now. BYEBYEBYEBYEBYEBYEBYE amigo AMIGO!

Bai now

A "test" reset was one of my first suggestions to the PWA's, this was also denied by the majority of them.

Seriously? Do they give any reason?

The reason I was given was: "It doesn't make you look very confident with your new content". I do understand that, for the most part, but I wasn't really trying to see if players would like the new content or not, I was mainly just trying to obtain permission from PWAs after they see how the majority of the players would prefer the new content (well at least that was the plan). After I was told this, I reassured them I was confident with my new content and just wanted to go through with the reset. I was still denied permission.

Some of the Playerworld Administrators I spoke with were fine with me doing a "test" or full reset, but some weren't.

Looks like you're in a bit of a sticky situation then D:

Some big talk from PWA who have never ran a successful playerworld before.

I'm not really up to date with Era but considering all the USDing from the Vimes era (see dat pun folks>??) and complaints people have had, a reset doesn't sound too bad. The server does need a lot of work though, because to be honest there's nothing too special about the server. I have yet to see real businesses re-released and I recall a lot of development plans that have been long forgotten (car tuning, proper apartments?).

Again, not really up to date, but I trust that people like Sales know better than anyone else. folo his wurd!!

I'ts just another HoudiniMan story, who destroyed Era just a while back, now it's just other PWAs preventing progress to happen

[Emera]

You guys have a great poll system. Take advantage of it a find out what the players want. If the players think it's a good idea surely that should show the PWA's a decent reason for a reset. After all they're here for the players.

I don't get how HoudiniMan destroyed Era, the reason he came was because the staff then were corrupt and abusing their power

houdini is the reason era died. you wouldn't get it because you were one of the kids he brought in to replace the old staff team, duh

I'm pretty sure when I was Manager I got Era to it's highest playercount of
Most players 171 (can be found through http://statistics.graal.us/server/show/36)

Not sure what you're talking about since Era was still highly successful when I was Manager. You have to take in Graal's playercount as a whole since PC Graal is always curving downward.

i'm not saying you were a bad manager, firstly. and that's definitely not the highest playercount era has seen haha, how far back do those statistics go?

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here.

I remember when the Battle of the Bands first came out with all the instruments... over 220 players at once. in one level.

[bloodykiller]
