I've played Era PC since it came out near enough - I agree with Froggy, untill you get a hang of PKing on PC and some decent weapons behind you, nothing wrong with laming if it stops you from getting picked as an easy target, eventually they'll get annoyed at you and give up if they're sick of being lamed.

Quite a lot of the current players of Era are a newer breed than what used to be there, very few very old players left.
