rapid decline of activity

so yeah, over the past 2 weeks I cant say ive seen era hit the 70+ player mark, what gives? no raids, no gang events, just a bunch of dimwits arguing in mass messages idling in unstick. well that's not really unusual, but hey, normally SOMEONE is doing something else...

I realize this game sucks, but where you all at?

Death can't do his job right and our manager logs in once every 2 weeks, that's probably got something to do with it.

Well the ETs are active?

It's probably the playercount's fault for creating an environment that is repulsive and only appeals to the gun-thug-wannabe crowd.

Seeing as I don't like Era much due to a grudge with Chrisz never visiting Babylon and myself after he quit to make it.. I have gone on a few times, and have no clue how to make money anymore or what to do... So if I do get on, I idle at osl.. but isn't that what most servers do? Half of any classic server players are loyal to the server and get on for friends or to socialize.

Aside from that, it seems to me Era is mainly a PKing gun server.. where you drive around and kill. To spark more interest you would have to add more things.. but would it be good to change the point of the server? Take UN for instance.. I have no clue what UN was about, except last night I put 2 and 2 together and decided aholes + unholy make sense lol.. On top of that, it seems like it is a DEV playground with a whole bunch of odd crap mixed together to try to get.. seeing people with cars on UN makes me feel weird.. Although I have a car, which I must have gotten about 5 years ago, so it isn't too new. However I am seeing light sabers, and land mines... I can't even explain UN..

Point:
You may not want to head towards the crazy have everything type of server lol..
Seeing as I don't know what Era is all about.. I'd only say you could develop another system that fits the current game point.. This could spark more interest for another few months..

Guns need balancing. The stats are all over the place, its hard to even categorize them anymore.

hunterhunk · #15 04-26-2011, 06:16 PM

I still don't even understand how you can give the GBA position to Death.... In all honesty he has no clue as to what he is doing. Gangs should and do take priority over businesses, therefore you need to find someone who actually has experience running a gang... Death had never been a big part of any gang, so he needs to be replaced.

Agreed, guns are so out of whack it's ridiculous. They need to be re-balanced all the way down. I've also said this before but whoever had the idea to release the ACR with it's current stats needs to take a frying pan to the face. Someone needs to step up and just completely re-balance everything.
