I haven't discussed this with any staff or players yet but here my view on what I would think would be cool for era.

1. Use of the Cop/Gangster Tags- I would really like to see Jatz's gangster quest "Morano Family" finished. These quests for people with gangster tags only. Offers things like themed weapons which you only get from a lot of dedication to the particular faction.
That idea Vendhin had and started working on for a little while before it was forgotten being the secret "Turks" Agency (although I feel a better name is needed ;p). Same concept as the Gangster quests except for cops.

2. More interactivity/ RPG aspects. Little things such as Npcs walking around the map, currently there is only one active Npc who is that guy driving around the mart. Things such as a hunger/ food bar for rp aspects, and more misc items being purchasable for extremely minor costs. Such as being able to go into the food art and buy hotdogs/burgers/other foods for idk $5-10?

3. Working day and night cycle, as I suggested almost a year ago a lets say 46 minute in game cycle, day for 24 minutes night for 12. This would introduce things such as usable torch/flashlight items and flares which could be used for pking? Idk like the smoke grenade but at night throwing a bright flare making it slightly harder to see around the area where it landed.

4. More things to do, I know these have been suggested but paintball, car racing, ice skating arenas even? And I'd propose giving small rewards upon completion of various tasks to keep players involved in doing these and not just forgetting about them *Cough era zombies*

I think the only reason eras still surviving is because people are always waiting for the new guns and items and they don't want to quit because most have spend irl cash on the game. I think with the implementation of some of these, it would bring a much larger player base willing to stay. (Since most who find this game are like "what the hell is this" and delete it before discovering more about it)

AND ONE LAST THING.. Stefan.. Please...PLEASE set up more servers for Australians and other people as I don't like the 200 ping we get >:(

And that's all I can think of right now. I decided to post this here rather than in the future improvements as I seem to find people forget that section exists.

That's all thanks, discuss-

You know what I want to see in era? You're gun shop.

i like all ideas especially more interactive rpg aspects you described...
btw not all Australians lag :P i have relatively fast internet :).

i don't like the fact that so many guns being released, for the simple reason i get their names confused xD

Your*

Like all the ideas :D
Mostly about those morano project I was really curious what will happen back then
But my hope get destroyed when jatz resigned and see such interesting stuff didnt finish
Yet so many items that mostly auctioned released instead finishing stuff that planned before...
Btw,don't hate on my comment it only my own opinion

While it would be amazing to have these things implemented, don't forget that it's Era we're talking about so I'm pretty Stefan would have little shops implemented as well to turn a profit. Like how the plane only takes you to an island shop.

Shiz's dragon sword auction only, oh what Id pay for it, if they would just sell the thing.

The same goes for "many I don't mean a few I mean anything deemed awesome that is released, is in the auction only house"

I'm pretty happy that you were promoted to Guns Admin. That should sate my anti-era mentality for a bit. Haha. Late Congratulations on that by the way.

No more melees. No matter what they are, they just encourage flag rushing and are often annoying as hell if they have knock back.

Some very promising points you've made here Sam.

I really like the idea about interactive NPC's moving around as it would give a much nicer feel to the game.

Only thing I would have to disagree on would be the night/day thing, personally I wouldn't have it and would probably annoy me. (I believe there is actually a weather system in place not to sure)

XXX SHOP

We're working on an event that combines all of the above (almost)... I'll release some info later on...

Adding another doller to my pocket.

The project's maps, and gfx are ready, what is left is scripting, and I never waste time on that.

Jackpot, got a buck.

I like your view Sam i find it similair to what era should be more focused on in my opinion. And no more mellees plz theres already like 50+ maybe more.
