I can't speak for other developers, but right now I'm the only decently-active coder on Era.
That being said, I'm really interested to hear your thoughts on gangs. In my opinion, the gang system is something that really needs to be changed.

1. do not let anyone without a gang tag enter a gang base: they only distutb, lower your hp when you arent even focused on them, inform opposite gangs of your movements/door blocking....etc
if someone doesnt have a gang tag he should raid era mafia, this would only help party activity (as would more party tournements)
2. to make things more interesting, the gang with the lowest sum of gang points in a month is deleted and another gang (through an application of themed gang ideas, as was done in 2006-2007 with LS and other gangs) is created. the reason why 1 gang must be deleted is that 4 is too much aith the current playercount.
3. increase prizes: 5ecs are dull, it should be that if uve been in the top gang the whole week and uve scored at least 50kills (NOT CONSIDERING DEATHS SO ALL NOOBS HAVE A CHANCE) u get something like 5-10k cash. this would make gang raiding like a job, therefore increase activity and interest
4.as zeus had suggested, make it possible for a gang to invite another gang to a specific level (i.e. tdm, ctf...) to have a gang battle, organised by a sort of eventbot. the number of players, maximum score/time of game must be agreed upon, and a gang cant refuse an invitation if they have 7-8 or more players online
5.and finally, to keep gangs balanced: the first solution is placing a gang member limit of total members or members on tag at once (say 12). otherwise, to avoid gang hopping, which has become a disease in era lately, if someone says /leavegang (NOT IF HE IS KICKED) he can't join another gang for like 1 week.
