dang thallen dat analogy.

I don't even remember writing that TBH, was probably just hungry and bored  

I view Era as a success.

I just have a more realistic standard for what a 'success' is on PC Graal.

it still has a playerbase, that's the standard, right?  

Nah, Era P.C. Has so many Glitches (via stuck facing one direction) (Cars can't move unless you type something first/Same when first starting game) takes a bit longer to start the game (Normal internet connection) of course I'm talking about Facebook Gameplay, not PayGame or whatever you guys are talking about.

You mean strafe? That's not a glitch.... Wait neither is the second one.  

I personally never liked the way TIM_ROCKS managed Era although he got **** loads of work done on that server. The events on Era are just incredible although you need to have a subscription(40 USD/8 months) to play most of them...
I personally see the cause of people leaving after 1 week is due to the disrespectful community(although you'll find this all over the internet).  

I want Chris to be the manager again.  

I think the issue is the guns are x3 as expensive as iEra and money making is not at all better, slightly difference. Maybe if there were packs like iOS those noobs would come running after it lol.

no, strafe is when you can click the button to fix it, I'm talking about something else. Maybe your right about the car thing not being a glitch, I'd rather fancy it being changed however, Mobile has it's advantages, but D-Pad has some flaws compared to one-directional 4 Way P.C. Controls.

...... Wut?  

Ummm, just so you guys know there's no subscription fees anymore.

PC Era never took off because it's stayed in player development for sooo long. It's a 2d game on the pc when players can be playing games with ridiculous 3d graphics made professionally, why waste time with a 2d game that has a playercount of 50.

We get occasional new players, but the gameplay is so hard to master only a few stick around and we usually only have people logged on who have been playing for years.

What are you talking about? Era was one of the first player servers to take off under the P2P format, and it's been there ever since. I doubt anyone but a handful of people even remember how Era was like in player development.

Also your second point is moot. 3D games do not magically make a game better just because it's 3D. After all, the iGraal servers are doing just fine and they are also 2D.

*slowly raises hand*

:c  

same here, Chris and Angel were letting some of us kind of test out Era when he was high-ranking staff on Babylon, but it was very space-themed and all of the Era levels were prefixed as "era_future" so I have no idea what happened to that idea

I got a little bored of it after a while and it feels like one of those economy servers where if you fall behind it's impossible to catch up
I'd 100% get behind a gun server if it the graphic style was similar to that of classic servers and it wasn't so tryhard thuggish and gangster

Era is still developed by players, so it's still a player developed game. When I said take off I don't mean 150 people online, I mean actually becoming a popular video game. I don't see stefan hiring computer scientists with degrees in game development to work on it.

And my point is not moot, iGraal servers are thriving because iPhone games thrive on simplicity, look at angry birds, doodle jump, flappy bird. Graal is perfect for the iPhone and just backs up my point that computer gamers don't want to spend there time playing a simple 2d zelda like game on there thousand dollar gaming computer when they can be playing LoL or Dota. Cmon Dusty I thought you were smarter than this.
