I'm just going to say this before everyone else.

Down with Era PC and all hail Era iPhone (I don't give a crap but I feel like saying it for ****s.)

Alright this server needs something... honestly
If everyone online wasn't running around with spawned guns there wouldn't be anyone online...

Era needs GOOD management, which inturn = good staff, = good ideas, = good updates, = gooder? Era. Key word to making all this possible is as simple as a first grade 'Good'.

Alright so, I know Tig hates me (and hes the PWAA now right?)... but it's not like the server can get any worse right?

Rogue 4 Manager!

xD I'm serious though.

What is a "PWAA"?
And what does "gooder" mean?

Playerworld Administrator Administrator (head of the PWA), i know they use weird terms.

And I put a question mark after "gooder" because I was going to say better but I wanted to keep my point going.

Here are my ideas that I thought of for Era, and I've been pitching them at Akeon. Not all of them

Anyway.

I think that there should be something in the bottom of each base of each gang that has a certain very high amount of HP, and basically what you do is destroy it with your gang. This would result in the gang base being wiped off the map for the rest of the day, or maybe a few hours. Maybe add something like stocking where you could go there and try to rebuild it while the gangs are still attacking you.

Another idea is for mining. When you mine, and you refine your rocks, sometimes if you take a little bit to pick up the minerals, they will disappear. This is depressing because you take your time to mine, and then forget about them for a second, and come back and they are gone. Maybe if they disappear add something so that the minerals get sent back into your inventory as rocks, so you can refine them again!

Another one, is maybe making it possible for players to buy hats? I mean more personal hats instead of what is in the shops. There really aren't any hats that I like on Era, and it would be nice if we could send in the image of the hat, and then pay for it with 10,000 or 50,000 or so. However much the staff deem fit.

One more idea here that I wanna post. This is pretty much farfetched though. Put some sharks in the water. Lot of people run off into the water, and you gotta chase them and waste ammo, and never get to kill them! Maybe make a shark eat them if they are in the water for too long and have a mild or critical injury where you're bleeding. I thought that would be cool to be chasing someone that was determined to get away, and then they end up getting the death anyway getting gobbled up by Jaws.

I have other ideas but I'm good on typing for now

At the end of each week turn gang points into money that can be distributed by the gang leader/co-leader. Don't make it automatic. This way if a gang's leaders are inactive people will get upset very quickly, or if somebody is doing most of the gang's work and doesn't think they're getting enough they'll be more likely to leave and/or form their own gang.

Gang bases have a weekly rent, if the gang can't pay they get evicted. A party can rent the base and then becomes a "gang" until they can't afford to pay the rent. Keeps thing fresh and competitive.

Each base has a flag, if another gang has your flag you can't get any points until you get it back. Maybe a point bonus for having other gang's flags? Or having their flag lets you open/close the doors in their base without shooting them down? Makes raiding and counter raiding hold some value.

Discounts at NPC stores as your gang gains more notoriety?

It really is worth experimenting and seeing what works and what doesn't. It's not like if you change something and it doesn't work well you can't just reverse the change. There is no reason not to be continually trying to improve these things.

Make it so gangs can purchase perks for the week with their gang points.
Perk Ideas:
Improved Healing +5 Bed healing, or +10 whichever is more fair
Better Melee +2-5 melee damage bonus
Bullet Damage +1 damage, in fact you might want to disregard that. Might be a horrible idea.
Bonus Healing - healing items heal more
Strength Bonus +1 STR for gang members
Gang gun bonuses? Maybe gangs could purchase upgrades for their guns, or a weekly perk for the specific gun they have.


Allow them to use gang points to buy ammo (make it cheaper than actually buying ammo!).

I like Dem's Idea of the rent thing, lets money be for more than just guns, heals, etc. Which is something that an economy needs.
