- - the reason why classic is more popular than era (https://www.graalians.com/forums/showthread.php?t=190)

Classic and Era are special in their own ways. If they were similar, players wouldn't have bought both of them. And also, there is an increasing player count on era, a couple nights ago, there were 1000 players online. If I were you, I would stick to the statistics than blab about opinions.

Yet Era's player base is catching up to classics every day..

Why don't delete the auto revieve and go Era PC style?
No revieve, wounds, you can "make your friend alive" again, by dropping a medkit on him.

This would have been fun, and also hard for the basers.

Skill, It is actually due to the fact that classic was released first, and, FYI iEra is very quickly catching up to classics population. We have already reached 1.1K players, we will soon reach what classic has.

Or classic will drop to what we have due to excessive banning and tyranny ;)

Skill pretty much summed up why I don't like Era. Everytime I leave a hospital area it's hard to go anywhere without getting shot or killed. I don't like the fact you have to pay 1,000 for unlimited ammo and revive for it to last a week. I do like the events they have regularly and how they're more leniant on uploading. It's just the game isn't very fun to me. In sparring on there you can't win with a starter gun (unless you're an absolute expert with it or you face another player with it) you have to buy a stronger gun to compete. I like a lot of features that the game has, but just the game itself I hate.

Era came out like 1-3 years later than Classic.. and by that time, iClassic was extremely popular. don't blame any of the mechanics

When new people come on era it is so frustrating becase you get killed almost instantly and you are overwhelmed by the game. Classic on the other hand is simpler and so that's another reason why classic is more popular.

People who cry about getting killed are just sad.... When I first started I kept running out the hospital shooting at pros and laughing irl and I kept dying XD and then I kinda got the hang of it and then it became serious ;) (<______>)

first, just because we have more guns and pkers doen't mean we're strictly
'YOU HAVE TO FREAKING PK OR YOU WILL FAILLLL'
look at me.
I have 2500 hours and 200 kills. I choose to use era as a social game instead of a killing game.
Just as some of Classic populations does pking, some of era's does mainly social stuff.
You don't have to hate either server because on pks or one doesnt.
social vs pk isnt the only thing in a game.
The two servers are like Yin and Yang

iEra is VERY Unique. Heheheh

You can do what you want on era, you don't have to pk or spar. If you get killed over and over again learn how to fight back, instead of complaining.

Graal has always been a casual game. Eras core systems are geared more towards dedicated players much more than classic's. On Classic you can just hop on and play and dominate towers, have fun exploring, or pk even if you haven't played in months. On Era this isn't the case.

lets see how frustrating it is to a casual, occasional player:

I think the #1 thing making players like classic more than Era is the things we have to purchase every week to keep up, and the hospital.
Lets say you took a break from Era and came back after 3 months.
You don't have any gralats. You want to go to the beach party or the newest thing on era but everytime you try to get there someone kills you. You try to make money for a potion by shoveling but crabs keep killing you. So you decide to go pizza cooking instead. It took forever, but you finally make enough money for a potion. Now you are ready to dominate. You go out with your dual uzis(you're a casual player and didn't feel like working to get a 8k gun) and realize they aren't doing that much damage because they are rusty. you have to spend even more money to repair them.

repeat every time you come back.
lets look at all of the individual systems and how they can be improved.

unlimited ammo:
this isn't really needed for those who don't play much, but those who play a lot will need it. However, many do not like having to go running around looking for ammo. it costs $1000 a week.

ways to improve: We should get a daily bonus of ammo just for logging in, maybe like 500-1000.

weapons repairs: this is the 2nd worst system ever implemented in Era. As a gun collector I absolutely hate having to spend $500 plus mining ore just to get my weapon to be useable. I would have to pay about $6000 just to get my guns back to top shape since I quit for a while.
ways to improve:
make rusting slower
make rusting based on shots fired
make upgrades permanent with no rusting, but harder to do:

you start with a m4 that does 8 damage.
the first upgrade costs $1000, 10 iron. 8.5 damage
the second upgrade costs $3000, 30 iron, 10 silver 9 damage.
the third upgrade for the hardcore costs $10000, and 50 of all minerals. 9.5 damage
fourth upgrade for the dedicated costs $50k, and 100 of all minerals. 10 damage.

or have individual upgrades with special names like a scope that increases accuracy or something. The point is don't make us have to pay constantly to keep up with the game.

hospital:
the by far biggest cause of quitters. Of all of the player from classic that told me they quit era, all of them replied that they hated getting killed and sent all the way back to a hospital and they don't want to pay $1000 weekly to respawn.

solutions:
give the potion to everyone/remove hospitals
add some form of noob protection or non pk mode
make a pk and no pk map(seperate "channels")

fix these problems and you will find Era much more populated than classic due to better management and more frequent updates. Of course not everyone will like Era because they like classic combat and the theme better, but this will greatly boost playercount.

Dude you are an idiot. It takes 10 minutes of digging to get 1,000 gratlats. As opposed to 30 min of farming. Plus the Christmas spell was a disaster. When ever I kill 8 people a noob sneaks behind me with starter gun and says "LOL YOU SUCK NOOBJANSDLIDMSNDGHMNKLASMASKLADMDMIH" Plus in the Northern parts you can get 3,000 ammo in 5 minutes. Plus if you got a ak47 (20 minutes of work) you can pretty much survive. The better guns are for the more hardcore pkersa and sparrers. Plus Classic has been around longer and Era already has frequent updates. I can't go one day without getting one.
