Real Talk; Servers down.

[Godzilla]

Take it offline, as soon as possible. This kind of lag is perfect for duping.

[shrimps]

Does anybody have and books to suggest reading? I'm almost finished with mine now.

You should read Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut if you haven't already. You're right @ Godzilla.

Disable the ATMs, disable buying items from stores, disable item lending... Theres a ton of ways, it's ridiculous

[Spikedude]

Dropping has been disabled. We should be safe.

[Spikedude]

Buying and ATMs shouldn't dupe. Does lending not go with dropping?

Stopped playing graal for a couple days, found a career, finally showered, got a girlfriend, bought a house.

I've reset countless players for duping through buying items (from stores), item lending (with friends) and ATMs. I suggest blocking the casino off as well.

I've already brought 75m into the economy over the past 48 hours ggwp

Down to the real talk; Let's think realistically here... If they don't finally decide to scrap PC Graal (Which who knows, this might happen) I think Era needs to make some REALLY BIG changes to put themselves ahead of the other servers.

Right now the viable option for new players to get anywhere on PC Graal is Zodiac. You're able to level your character, get money and items through leveling and buy gear for your player through those items and gold you got leveling.

Era PC is just so far behind with noob-friendliness.

Era's economy has been in the **** for years, we should make guns worth 65-70% what they are today.

No gun should be $900,000. That's ridiculous and unrealistic for new players who log on to achieve.

It doesn't matter if everyone ends up getting an Mp5 Navy or whatever else you have. If you introduce exclusive items through the EC shop, auctions and the other 100 ways like you're some-what doing, they will replace the tier of $900,000 guns which should only really be $500,000 or so.

Making the Era dollar more valuable is an option we really need to consider.

Era's Staff Team; This game is about progression and paving way for a new generation, it has been for a long time. Yet we have been stuck in this rut of cycling in the same Staff to take on positions and watching them fail over and over or hoarding a position and doing absolutely nothing with it. It's time to really crack down on the team and make sure they are doing what is best for the server, meeting the demands of players and trying to actually achieve a goal of everyone being happy.

I could go on and on but honestly wtf is the point? Most of the people who browse the forums will disregard anything just like they do to Koho's posts. We need more passionate players to take on the positions that the lazy, useless and no-good staff are hoarding.

Release the new GMAP as soon as possible, let that be the starting route of; "Plan A-msel" and let's finally see some passionate staff to match the passionate community.

You're not going to teach an old dog new tricks, especially if that dog has been given an easy ride for years and thinks he is untouchable. Don't be fooled. You can replace EVERY single one of the non-development Staff you have with someone who will do a HECK of a lot better. You need to enforce that with them so that they pick up their game or show them that it is true by making an example.

The new gmap was obviously built to go with the draft, but even so i don't think it's a good approach. why make everyone have to re learn the map? there could have been slight adjustments rather than just throwing things everywhere all willy nilly. I agree with the hospital being at osl, that has been a change that should have been made 10 years ago. Other than that though, alot of things that were easily accessed are scattered and alot of things that were a great distance are really close. If we are to truly update the gmap, things should stay in the same general areas aside from ammo shops and food shops which should all be lumped within an equal distance to stay competitive.

[TheLinkMan2002]

Also what this server needs to be accessible to the newer/ iera crowd is microtransactions. Argue all you want against it but it is the only way. The gelat shop that was teased as an april fools joke was honestly a good idea. You just make it fair by making weapons purchased with real money untradeable. I really don't see the issue with it. With this maybe stefan will actually buy us a server that isn't in the basement of a meth lab.

[Godzilla]

If they do that they might as well make USDing legal. I'd hate for players to beable to pay to win with millions more than me. I would rather let them have my millions for the hundreds they would pay in the gelat shop.
