exactly.

a new gmap isn't a big deal at all. it'll be the same boring game except with a different map. not very exciting imo.

I would be fine with a new Gmap but I don't like the style they are going for as the base of it, It is unapealing to the eyes, I was hoping for the themed areas that were talked about, but sofar I didn't see any. If the developers would just release info of whats going on, Get opinions from players they wouldn't have anything bad to say because they would know about it before it was done.

The only things I don't like about the gmap itself (as in the way it looks) are the train and the fact that a lot of the buildings don't look anything like what they're supposed to represent. For example, the "Flower Shop" is just a generic 3 story building with a sign slapped on it. I really hope that changes.

My main problem with that they're doing is WHY they're doing it, or the ideas behind having 3 islands. Maybe someone should explain because I'm not sure if I can.

And i dont like the buildings.. They're kinda ugly also

That's because Deo opened it for player review literally a few days after I came on board. I had just hired my first LAT, and I literally hadn't done anything with him except for a few buildings on the South East.

There's been boo koo progress since then.

Yeah mesh has really shaped up the gmap and it looks a hell of alot better.

To the Erians,

Thanks to me, and ONLY me.. The Gmap is 2 buildings away from being complete. 3 islands, completely refurbished by me. Once i've finished these last 2 buildings, then i add detail around the map. Then i'll make inside levels, an use some old inside levels.

Thats all.

Thanks Mesh. <3

(Sorry if im not allowed to post this, but it seems ok?)

I love the part where he says: ''Thanks to me, and ONLY me..''

When can we tour the GMAP again?

Era doesn't need a new gmap, it needs bringing back to it's former glory days.

Mesh is actually a pretty nice LAT.

But you have to fire him as soon as he asks for a higher position.

Lol your right if you say no he goes corrupt

I believe the current staff is far too focused on era dev. I acknowledge their hard work, dedication, and contribution to that project; however Era dev is set off in a far off land in the distant future. Today's Era has been completely neglected and pushed aside for years, almost as if change to the current server is blasphemous. Only recently have I seen the stone wall crumble with the release of instruments and the wood shop, the concert was probably the most exciting event I've witnessed in several years. Businesses and Gangs don't account for anything; I want to see quests, new systems, more productive methods for noobs to generate money. Consider the concept a "beta" where players can provide feedback, if the idea is fair then it will be carried over to dev.
Era has become stingy and secure, I saw it coming when Ocelot was implemented into administration a few years back. Seriously loosen the **** up.

Obama promised change, where is my change?

You say you want change and for us to add more things to the current server. However, be specific and say EXACTLY what you want. You give some general things such as quests, but I think the opposite. Quests aren't fun to me, I don't even do the quest for the 'fun' of it, I just want the prize at the end, and I honestly don't care about the story line, or what you have to obtain the prize. (This is just my views on quests.)

Also, you say we should add more ways for noobs to get money with. I don't see the point of that when noobs in the first place aren't even using the current systems in place. Over time I do believe we should add more choices to the players on ways of obtaining money, however, currently they aren't even using the systems that are already designed, so I don't see it as a priority of making new systems when they most likely won't be used after a week.

If you do have ideas though of things that should be implemented on the main server, just post it. If it's good i'm sure that it will be made and designed. I was the one who thought of doing the whole instrument/concert thing and for me to get all the graphics, ganis, sounds, levels, it only took less than a week to make.

What Era people need to learn is that prizes gotta drop sooner or later. There is nobody that can go and dig up a 150k in a day to buy a deagle or like a glock.
