Suggestions

[zim5354]

These are just a few suggestions I pulled out of my ass.

Make PKing fully client side again, exactly how it use to be ever since it was changed Era has never "felt" the same.

Bring back PI, Neotech and Core Electronics (idk if core is still around I never see anyone on tag when I am on, but then again I'm not on much so I could be wrong). More businesses means more competition, competition means cheaper guns which would help keep the economy in check. Although if the said businesses were revived allow the ammo for the guns to be sold at a NPC ammo shop or GP/AM as well as the business. This keeps ammo prices from skyrocketing because the people in the business are to lazy to stock it or inactive.

Remove all the quest besides the mine quest, Era isnt about questing its about PKing all questing does it take people away from PKing. Finally none of the quest were ever any fun, they were looked upon as a chore one has to do in order to PK, a game should be fun not a chore.

Remove the gym, strength and speed, this is boring and makes playing the game a chore. No one logs on Era to run on a treadmill or lift weights. Finally it would help PKing by making everyone equal meaning your skill is reliant on your gear and ability not how long you mashed buttons while fapping or listening to music.

More PK zones, less no PK zones and finally removal of the PK area by unstick me.

Restore the box house and the news paper factory to their old locations and make them PK.

Dont include P4s in gifts, and other junk. Why in the world would you dig up a box full of explosives on the beach?

Restore player shops (once again competition = lower prices, which limits inflation).

Yocus pointed this one out in another thread, add a log off timer of around 10 seconds to keep pricks from logging off when they are about to die.

The quest weren't really that bad to be honest. The only beef I had with it was the fact that you had to do the quest in order to compete with the other players. I rather the quest rewards give you something that's not a huge advantage in the field.

Getting money is pretty much a chore too but I do agree with removing speed levels. Plus they give players something to work on. I rather have skills levels for job related activities than for PKing. There could be skill levels for mining, shoveling (recovery speed), fishing, you name it.

Yes, please do this. I like the whole "world" PKing aspect rather than set conditions for it.

They still have that feature?

I would actually like to see player shops to come back but only if they find a way to set it where it won't screw up the economy.

/agree

[Sinkler]

Some of the corporations will come back.

If you clientside pk it it makes it so people can edit stuff using cheat engine I think

I do like your ideas though

Yes, thats the reason for making things serverside whenever possible.

this was like, the main reason why player shops ruined the economy.

Low priced economy is better then high priced imo

[salesman]

playershops would be fine if they can't completely control the prices, and if two shops can't have the same licenses...

The problem with them before is that everyone sold the same thing and would try to make their items the lowest prices possible to one up the other shop...eventually leading to everyone having 23424 of everything

[Exile_P2P]

Never make anything clientsided! Or else I'll get to it.

[Yocas]

I never understood why people would waste their lives trying to hack a dead game.

after era switched to serverside pking got worse and worse, sure its "unhackable" but honestly who hacks Era? I'm not saying it hasnt been done, but I really dont remember any huge incidents when it was clientside, finally if someone did manage to a GP could just ban them (since Era has so many GPs now there is bound to be one on tag or online at the time).

low and realistic prices are much better in my opinion then high prices controlled by a select few "elitist" that got their businesses because of their relationships with server administrators.

There is enough stacks of cash as there is in Era's economy. They need to decrease that first, because everything is unbalanced. Though lower prices are much better than higher prices.

The only way to fix Era's economy right now is a reset its to far gone right now, then to keep it from getting screwed again businesses need to be redistributed to oldbies yes but not suck-ups. After the reset businesses should have an incentive to stay stocked, if a business does not stock a specific amount of items during a given time they are penalized by being fined. This keeps items in the economy and prices low and prevents businesses from not stocking items to cause the demand for the items to rise along with the price. This also encourages hiring of the most active people and not your friends simply because you don't want to lose your money because your friends loaf around. This gives more people jobs and brings the community closer instead of making it "elites" and "nubs".

Staff members shouldn't be allowed to own a business or a gang to prevent favoritism from coming into play (although i doubt this would really stop it).

The smart people won't get caught doing it and you would be surprised how much it occurs even with Era as it is where you can barley uses editing programs

Severside PK is a retarded idea and if it ever came back I'd quit in a heart beat. Severside PK removes any skill in dodgeing bullets which basically IS Era PK.
