I think in a way we're both right. People have their opinions. I prefer equal fights with the same weapon. I also don't farm, money just builds up after a while. I tried digging for shells on Era for half an hour and got nothing. Then a "taxi driver" crashed me into a wall and I died... Not my day of fun.
I disagree. I've seen people own at spar with the most unlikely guns. Dual pistols (cheap, easy to get), single uzi (totally unexpected, somehow worked), AK-47...and none of those are expensive or difficult to obtain.
iClassic players spend *hours* horse farming for gralats to buy new hats...if they spent half that time digging shells or picking up trash in iEra they'd have plenty of money for new guns. (And get plenty of training pking  ) |
That may be true, but it inevitably gives an advantage to the better gun. Everything counts, including both weapon strength and skill level.

I think iClassic players were too quick to hold iEra to their expectations from playing iClassic. They were disappointed that they had to buy revive potion, but I think it just makes the game more interesting. They were upset that they couldn't just jump into spar or pk with the starter weapons, but what other MMO makes you use the same weapons that you were given from the start? I enjoy working for upgrades and better weapons. Would it bother iClassic players if they implemented the sword power system from PC? More hearts/hitpoints, etc?
I haven't been able to play iClassic for more than 10 minutes since iEra was released. It just seems so boring now.

I just couldn't jump into a separate game with new rules to learn and adapt to. Its like when a family gets a new pet, the pet doesn't know anybody, where he/she is, where to go, what is OK and what is not OK, etc. Sure you learn, but some people would rather stick to the classics. By the way, I wouldn't be upset if sword strengths or more hitpoints were added, but maybe that's just because I'm already so familiar with the game.

Since this thread is beginning to boil down to style/gameplay preference, I can put all of that aside and point this out: I have played both iPhone servers since their release, and Era completely blows Classic away in terms of content, updates, and addressing player requests and complaints.
|
Classic admins aren't the same as on Era, I do admit. I'm not saying its not something that can be improved on (*wink wink*).
|
I have fond memories of my time spent on the Classic iPhone server, but Era iPhone was *exactly* what I needed when things became stale/boring/dysfunctional on Classic iPhone.
