Also, Forum Era News doesnt bring in any money.

I'm sure if Era News does get uploaded on Era, it won't be an extremely profitable business. You can put your money on that.

Well If I get to be the owner, By system will be like this:

I'll only have a few people with Tags to help me with Editing the News, taking pictures and writing ocacionally. I'll pay something reasonable to this people.

Also, I'll open some sort of "Box" that alouds you to write News. People with Tags will invistigate about this news to see if it's true or not. This way people can work for Era News without tags. (we'll pay a certian amount of money per report from a player)

Do Era shops pay taxes?

especially when players just trade eachother the papers instead of buying them...should probably make them undroppable.

Agree. =P


Era News is coming back!

That's the only thing that needs to be done is so the news paper can't be tradeable and when you try drop it, it falls apart. Only thing from that they would need to change is when the machine makes the newspaper and drops it, instead of dropping the acual newspaper it drops a different Newspaper that can't be read so it's a totally different database item so when you drop that one into the box it stops the normal news paper.

Then you can make the newspaper fall apart if you try drop it or trade it.

When you drop the newspaper it shouldn't be able to be picked up as a regular item, it should act as part of the recycling job. You should also have places to drop it into, such as recycling bins so you can get rid of them without having to litter.

That would stop the idea of making the newspaper not tradeable or dropable because if you allow it to drop it into recycle bins then people can drop the newspaper for their friends. If they try drop the paper it falls apart so they can't trade it and every person would need to buy one paper.

I don't quite understand your logic here. Trading newspapers is a given, it should just not happen. I quite clearly said that the item, once dropped, would become a part of the scenery of litter that is around Era, used only for the purpose of collecting litter for the recycling job. This would mean that players cannot pick up the paper off of the floor to read it, as you cannot do that with the pieces of paper you find with litter. If you drop a piece of paper into a bin then players would not be able to read it either, where the hell are you getting this from?
