What would you think to a gym?

Running for 15 minutes a week would give you a speed buff for one week

Pumping iron for 10 minutes a week would increase your melee damage for a week


Just been talking with Meph the weapons admin and he had the idea when we first released Era and he's still thinking it would be better. I wouldn't want people to run for more than 15 minutes or so though- it would get boring.

Sounds cool and fun but shouldn't be for a week that's too long for working out 15min.

15min running buff speed for 3 days
10min pumping iron 2days

This will make a player use the gym 3-4 times a week like irl you don't go once a week to the gym and your set for the week NO you go at least 5 days a week, well at least I do .  

Hmm 15 min for 3 days is cool- 30 minutes for a week?

As long long as it isn't too time consuming, any time is good

If we're talking about implementing the gym idea, I actually agree with Slasher's post as far as the time limit is concerned; he brought up a valid logical point:

So basically we are getting the default speed raised for 2 days by going to the gym, I don't see why we have to goto a virtual gym for that lol. Still think just changing the default speed would be a better way to do this.

I agree.
Maybe this could be an evolutionary change, If people respond well to the gym idea.  

But you have to do something in those 15 mins, it shouldn't be so people can leave their devices afk and it gets minutes.

I imagine it would be like the old PC treadmills, where you walked on a belt that changed your x-axis, moving you back. It forced you to keep moving, or else you would fall off. It also prevented you from moving too far forward. You had to stay within the parameters.

Similar too was the weight bench. You had to lift when it told you to lift, and drop when it prompted you to drop.  

couldn´t we just improve the speed in general? i meen its alot more fun sparring in the new complex rooms.

I'm ecstatic that more and more people are supportive of this.

that is the most amazing image ever. except there is probably better  

And? It will make events unfair :/ some people will run fast other slow... Whats the point?

of course yogy will post that... But that is true though. More unbalanced gameplay, the last thing era needs  

To solve that problem change the default speed so everyone moves the same,but spar,pk,killstreaks,and basing takes more skill and is more intense to particpate in.
