I mean really? Era was fun for all of 2 years until the big jump off with the BAR, and then the PBP and the nuke that came along with it. Everything about Era stinks. And now I see that guy snk talking on another forum about 'reinvesting money' into the player base. To little to late! |

I think that since era is modern times, it's more easy to complain about something that might affect modern life. ( in the future we might imagine what things would be looking like, making zone a great model.while classic holds the past so we understand that classic could be easier to understand. But yeah. I kinda like Era, but not that any bodies keeping track.

I am incredibly hungover right now, so I'm going to try and write this out as best as I can. Graal is not a very good game. In terms of success, it has made a small-time success. It's not a huge game, it's honestly a very minor and small scale game. One of the main reasons for this is because of how off-putting it is for new players. If you're just starting out and are wanting to play some iEra, then you're basically screwed. You may as well just take your pants off right there so you can get ****ed easier. Starting off as a new player in Era is one of the hardest things you can do, honestly. Yes, there is a tutorial, the tutorial was actually rather well put together, as a matter of fact. However, when you actually get out into the real game world and are wanting to try and fight people, then yeah, you're screwed. You get put out there with a ****ty gun, a few bucks and you get killed constantly. It's pretty off-putting, in my personal opinion. The other main reason that Era isn't a very good game is: There is absolutely no point to it. There is no main objective you can do to get better. I mean, yeah you can try and get a new gun, more kills or whatever, but there is no straight up objective you can do. For me, personally I always found it rather hard to actually enjoy graal unless I was friends with staff members. They just seemed to make it a little bit easier, but that's just me. As for the staff team, currently, I don't really know much. However, whenever I left iEra (Circa August 2013) the staff team wasn't very well put together. I'm not saying that because "Herp derp got fired lol" or anything, it just wasn't. Yes, there were good staff members e.g Johnaudi and Jeni. But however, the majority of the other staff members were rather immature and unhelpful. I always thought that it was rather odd whenever they would hire 10 new prs and only a couple of them would help. It was like pulling teeth trying to get a staff member to reply to you. Now for the best part: the community. The community in graal is ****ing awful. You can't say "Oh no, you just have to find the right people." No. The community is the absolute worst community that I have ever encountered. The majority of the players I would assume are 12-15. Hell, the majority of them can't even form proper sentences. They were absolutely ****ing terrible. I cannot stress how bad they were. Go into the start and you will see people saying "trade pix on kik im 13 big ****" or just whenever you would get killed by another basing gang and get pms like "lol noob lol kill yourself" and stuff like that, yeah that was absolutely awful. I don't really know why no one has mentioned this one yet: auctions. It seemed like for quite a long while that they main point of the game was to win auctions. That's all anyone ever tried to do. If you would go and talk to someone about why they were digging, I bet they would say auctions. That is the main reason that people think that era is p2w. Because that was the only content that they would ever put out, was the auctions. Yes, they would release a new gun or something but you cannot say that they released as much items and guns to the public as they did the auctions. The auctions were the main source of income for Stefan, I believe. Auctions were just a really dumb thing altogether. And looking back at this, I wrote this really really poorly. I'll try and make a new post some other time and explain myself better. TL;dr if i spent the time to write that out, you should read it. Just logged on and saw "u ugly bihc hore tramp u r so hot." I wonder why I never showed this game to my friends. |
