In my opinion era just seems too crowded, like there's too much going on around you. I can't stay concentrated enough to play longer than 15 minutes at a time. I also find myself getting lost too easily. It's probably just because I haven't played it very much though.

Boy oh boy, where to begin?

Maybe first of all, the whole identify bull****. I had my yahoo hacked and my account was stolen. Even after I verify it's mine through yahoo and everything, I STILL don't have my account back (This account had a Souizen on it, was quite valuable to me), and yet just because you've "discontinued" email transfers/merges, I can't get my account I spent money on.

Explosives are USELESS. Guns suck on the game because 12 year olds cry and threaten to sue Eurocenter when they lose 1 round in their clip.

What else? Should I mention the incompetence of the development team? Come on guys, you have nearly three times the number of developers as Era PC and yet you guys lack so hardcore in terms of content. We made a brand new gmap that players are LOVING in about three months. You guys have been working on this new "countryside" for what, like a year now, with still no progress.

This is where I come in. I feel like someone with my skills in the level field would be welcome there, as I would not only make kick ass levels, but being a frustrated player, I would be able to relate to the players and create things players actually WANT, like quests and dungeons. But, even when I offer Snk a quest that works PERFECTLY, he doesn't want to take it because of the bad blood between myself and the staff team.

What else? Let's think. All the E-thugs that think they're HOT **** because they have a 32x32 pixel golden gas mask and a modified M4 carbine make me sick. I can't tell you how many times I've been approached by e-thugs like this and been told to series them, and them raging and calling me obscene words for hours?

This is where the PR team comes into play! If I do something as silly as accidentally letting a word like "*****" slip out, I'm jailed, nearly instantly, for HOURS on end, while people who walk around the spar complex calling me "white trash", "broke ass bitch", and more derogatory terms, nothing happens.

Finally, this brings me to the worst part. The focus of the game. Players take this game waaaay to ****ing seriously. They spend HOURS literally laming a BAR down the street so they can rack up kills for MORE pixelated weapons and do the exact same thing. Players on iEra need motivation to go out and PK - on Era we just do it for the fun of it, and to catch up with players.

So yes, this is what I see wrong with Era. I can probably spend an hour talking about it but I don't feel like writing a 5 paragraph essay.

tl;dr? My account was stolen. Can't get it back, ever. Quite bull****-y. Bad dev team. Bad PR team. Bad motive.

This is not the place to complain about not being hired on Era.

So your issues are:

*You want it to be easier to present your case to management to get your account issues resolved.

*You have issues with explosives (that's already on the list) and you think the GA's are not ideal.

*You have a negative view of our development team. You feel that our development team does not efficiently create new [major] content. I will admit that this is an acknowledged problem. There have been changes in the staff team that will resolve this next year. And for the record there has been consistent progress with Countryside, just because you can't see it does not mean it isn't there.

*I'm sorry that you feel you have been unfairly jailed. I will discuss this with my staff.

We can not change the culture within Era. We do not have the power to change the way people think. In a game like Era there are always going to be Keyboard Gangstas, you'll have to live with it.

The Start Park has a lot of players yeah, and it's pretty chaotic everywhere. That's the nature of the server. I have a few ideas in mind to offer less chaotic content to players who lean towards a more casual play style. Thank you for the feedback.  

Ideally, I'd just have my souizen re-added to my new account, but no one with the rights ever responds.

I'll look into it. Who did you try to contact that didn't respond?

PM me about this, I don't want to clutter this thread with messages inappropriate to the subject.  

I'm in jail for "racism", which is hilarious because I didn't even say anything racist.

The other day i was thinking this too!

Perhaps if the start area was expanded?

Also, remove that other area close to that east hospital, nobody goes there, perhaps if something useful was added there such as a snowball spar for Christmas where you throw snowballs provided once entered the spar. I recommended this for delt but they were un compliant because of controls or something. An outdoor spar would be a good change in pace.

Some great suggestions, thanks.  

Regarding the PVE content request (quests and stuff)
That has been on the list a while now.
between countryside and holiday releases, we don't have much time or staff to work on much else.

We will implement missions based around your AP.
Climbing the ranks type of storylines of a gangster organisation or the police force.
That kind of stuff

As long as there are rewards in the form of good guns, I can wait for this to come to fruition and hope for no disappointment. Please try not to disappoint.

i love me a good storyline = )  

Era cant be brought back to life. The damage is done. The player base will revolt if they dont get more ****ty holiday content. Eras just done. Focus should be on izone and ol west  

A list of staff online so we can contact them would be nice.  

You better convince us that you and the "staff" are ready to work to make meaningful changes to this server.

Cause I don't really play much at all anymore, but every time I log in I see loads and loads more stupid filler.

Reskinned guns, overpriced items, **** jobs and just basic lack of incentive to play the game.  

I think you guys should force the entire iEra staff team to play Era PC for at least one whole week. In this time they could learn how Era is actually supposed to be and I feel that would greatly benefit iEra. They could finally learn and see all the terrible mistakes they've made.  

This.
