But still;
No ganier's.
2 LAT's...
Scripting department seems good, even without Crow.
Same for Graphics / Kinda.

But i guess we cant expect you guys to do anything since most of you are going to school + working on Era Dev instead of Era.
So lets stop pretending you guys are trying to fix Era's Economy, add new stuff, new weapons etc etc, and start realising nothings going to happen until atleast 2012 when Erav2 is released (If graal is still around then).

Crow and Arch_Angel only have access to the dev server. Which is why you don't see them, but Crow has been online pretty much daily.

We also have Relic on the LAT team, and Amsel on the Gani team (but he's kind of busy). There's not a huge demand for ganis right now, though.

I c, but nonetheless, hiring 2 dev teams would make sense hm?

It's pointless to duplicate work because pretty much anything made for one server will have to be remade for the other. We'll release things as they are completed on the dev server to the main server if possible, however, most of it cannot be moved without downtime or a reset. For a long time, there's always been that promise of "New Era" by staff teams, and it has been cried about by players for even longer. However, I think we're the first staff team who has finally taken "New Era" seriously. Instead of just talking about it and goofing around on RC, we're actually doing it. I spoke with Chris about compiling a list of everything that is completed, and being worked on, so that we can maybe share that with you.

I don't like that you're making it sound as if the main server has been completely neglected -- I'm almost positive that even though we're focusing on Era Dev, there's been more updates on it now than with previous administrations (the hotel, support center, public bounty system, ingame uploading, spar leaderboards/ranking, pawn shop, and we even managed a little something for halloween).

I remember when I played, we didn't see any updates for months at a time...and when we did, it was something that only benefited a few people (eg releasing a new gang, a few "rare" guns, or auctioning off some new business). Everything I've done has been looking out for the server as a whole.

There's been small updates to keep current Era at least slightly interesting to players while they're still working on Era Dev.

Don't like it? Don't play it.

Come back when the new dev stuff is implemented, I'm sure you'll find plenty more to ***** about on the forums then.

The Era Halloween Shop is now open.

To answer a few questions:

Where is it located?
Somewhere in the ocean. That's all I can say (hint: ask any player, they probably know).

How much do the items cost?
That depends on the item. They cost points which you get by digging pumpkins.

How do I get pumpkins?
You can't anymore.

I'm digging and not getting pumpkins.
No **** (see above).

How many of each item can/should I buy?
You can buy as many of each item as you want, except for the mystery box. You should only purchase one mystery box.

I accidentally bought two mystery boxes, what do I do?
Contact an admin and tell them what happened. Please be patient if they are slow in responding since we are quite busy lately.

The mystery box sucks.
That's because it's not open yet. It will open some time tomorrow.

What's in the mystery box?



People are killing me out side of the shop. Help!!!
PM a PR or other staff and they can watch.

Why was I jailed?
You were probably PKing or blocking outside of the shop, which is forbidden.

These items suck!



If you have any questions, post here or PM me or another admin.

pking outside of the shop is forbidden? why..? it's no different than pking outside of gun point or ammo mart. wtf??????
