Structure

ooger · #1 05-10-2015, 11:06 PM

Who is in charge right now? Since Gabblox left I haven't seen anyone step up as manager or even had a PWA come online and leave a message that they're looking for someone or what their plans are. We have some new admins in the player activities department (godzilla as GA and GeorgeC as ETA) but haven't heard anything about new content or seen an increase in activity.

What are the plans for the server?

It's been dead for like 2 years; the management fail train is getting into the double-digits now since they're putting Duos of people in charge.

Nothing significant has happened since the Tim > MD management change.

Should just merge with iEra at this point. Unless Blue or Alf would consider the position, though I doubt they have the time.

I thought MD was supposed to do a better job than my team?

I bet MD writes all his scripts in ms paint.

Pretty sure that's how Unixmad wrote the Linux version.

Godzilla having a staff position makes me glad I quit this game...

Also at this point I'm all for the merger. I feel like pc players should be able to carry over a portion of their wealth though so no one is too upset.

Yeah this is I think the biggest issue when considering a merge. A lot of guns/items on each server are not found on the other and even if they are they aren't identical stats wise (BAR, M4, handgun, melees to name a few)
Would this have to be handled on a case by case basis or is there a way we could calculate each players "net worth" and then translate that into a "base package" for when they start iera?

It was essentially the same people. We finished your projects then nothing happened.

Don't have to give them anything as far as compensation. Perhaps refund gelat items (potions) for half-price and then just replace the server. Era content hasn't had any worth in like 2 years.

pls calculate my net worth from 2013 thx.

TheLinkMan2002 · #12 05-13-2015, 03:51 AM

I would say grant tokens for every 100k of a players worth. Weapons being based on pawn prices, and nothing exceeding 5 tokens. The tokens would then be redeemable for around half of the translated value of 100k on iera.

ooger · #13 05-13-2015, 11:43 AM

Why reduce their wealth to pawn prices then half it? I don't really see any detriment to giving PC players comparable stuff to what they had on PC if they're going to only have the option of playing the iphone server. Hell, USDing is legal on iphone as long as you buy from graal and it doesn't harm iEra players if there are more active players that have pretty good guns.

In the end I don't see a lot of players continuing to play if their wealth is dissolved.

I like what you're saying here dude but definitely be careful if you still value your account.

I logged on yesterday and not knowing what is even going on anymore in Cloud Cuckoo Land, I saw two Admins on tag: Player Relations (that's the GP and FAQ combo, pretty legit) and Player Services. What is Player Services? Off the top of my head that seems kind of redundant, also I have never heard of Player Services before, do they just upload heads or something? 9 devs and none of them have time to upload graphics? I'm sure your PSA is a wonderful person but what does he do besides the aforementioned dictating? Forgive my ignorance, I just don't play Era anymore since it isn't as pleasurable as it once was!

Did not expect to see your two cents.

Since when are developers responsible to upload playermade content?
