What Happened to iEra?
iEra, in simpler words, just isn't the same anymore. The old iEra, the one I loved and preferred over iClassic, doesn't exist anymore. The old iEra was controlled by the awesome staff (still here, by the way.) But the staff aren't the main problem. It's the players, yes, us. Now, this is not so much for us older players (1000+ hours, at least.) Of course, it's partially everyone. But (no offense) mostly the newer players. You see, iClassic got ruined because the greed, and the fact that the players had no input, no chance to say their word. The staff were always in hiding, and almost none responded to anyone but their friends. The updates got worse and worse, mostly because they are all hats, and, well, laziness got ahold of the beloved server. Now, we have iEra. We have great updates, great staff, but a big problem. We aren't appreciate! Our staff works hard and long to produce nice updates, to make the players happy. We get new guns, new areas, and most of the player input is at LEAST considered. But, the thing is, players are hating on the staff. Because, they feel they are being treated unfair. For the stupidest reasons. Once, a player hatespammed me that Bboy (sorry for the name drop) participated an auction and didn't announce it! Now, we all know that it isn't that big of a deal. In fact, for the lagger players, it's nice to have an auction that isn't full of spamming players and lag. Of course, the fact that our staff are now mostly hiding causes a problem. No one can talk to them, and if they do come out, people spam them, with mostly unimportant stuff like hosting Weddings or the fact they got scammed. Back when I first joined iEra, staff could freely wander around, and, although they had crowds, the players loved and respected them (that I know of. Of course, I wasn't or never have been staff, I can't read their PMs or experience what they are). But, players could input ideas, get help fairly and enjoy the game! But, once again, now players are bothered by stupid things such as the fact BAR has a high price. I mean, come on! It's one gun. Big deal. It won't end the world if you can't get it, and I assure you that not all of the guns will suddenly have ridiculously high prices, nor will you be forced by anyone to buy them. So, please, guys. Remember that our staff are people too, that everyone in the game deserves equal treatment. What is ruining our server, is not the high prices or the dumb gang wars, but the fact that our communication is not only dying, but failing. Because, yelling in CAPS LOCK at staff or anyone gets you nowhere. Can we please go back to the old server I loved? Where no matter how many kills or hours you had, maturity was more important. Where our staff were respected but not treated like scary government spies or something, and where people were happy with what they had? Because it really is a good server, and we know that. Stop complaining. |

It starts with one gun....then boom a bunch of overpowered super expensive guns. So you'll get pked super easy if you dont buy them. Why else would they make the bar like that and raise the m16s price so unreasonably high? They are obviously perparing to do something. And I'd prefer if instead of targeting staff they targeted the owners and managers, Stefan, unixmad, snk, because they are the ones responsible for this. I don't like how they get powers on this forum, I noticed snk mass deleted posts for "not necessary", and I'm afraid they are going to use their powers to censor this forum and stuff.

As someone with experience of being both a staff and normal community member, I have to say Kat that you're both bold and somewhat...what's the word, I really don't want to offend you lol, that isn't my purpose, just a little naive. Seriously no offense though. It really is awesome that you stand up and speak out for the staff as a community member, that's really great. I wish I saw more people like you when I was staff for iClassic back in the day before it went downhill.
You have to take into consideration of what it was like for iEra in the beginning. It was a brand new server that had high expectations from almost everyone. Naturally the staff members will go out and introduce themselves so that people will know them, then if a good impression is made, positive opinion will spread amongst players. If I'm not mistaken the staff at the time were mainly PC original people, so it was a new experience for both them and people trying out iEra (considering how PC Era really doesn't get all that many people and iEra had a massive wave of people checking it out the first day). As far as people are and how they react to things in the game, what can you do? Every group/leader comes with people that like them or love them and people who complain about them or blame them. That's the whole point of responsibility and the ability of the staff to tolerate such things. |

I do note that yes, iEra was different in the beginning. But, at the time I mainly started Era, it was already a few months in! The fact that the staff were roaming around helping players with a good attitude and behavior definitely was impressive, and what brought me to switch servers. Of course, now, although I love the staff, it seems like whenever they go out they get harassed... Now on the paragraphs I underlined. (Jeez, im so OCD I even underline and bold things in a neat fashion xD) Don't worry, I'm not offended, I can be very naive sometimes xD but I'll stand up for what I want and that's it :) And, I know there will be people who dislike the staff, always. But I'm hearing more and more every day, month... from most of the iEra staff, the community is just getting less and less supportive, even though the staff are working to make Era better and more fun with the players. And to me, thats a bit ironic and su****ious, I guess. |

I respect the staff. I know their busy. I help them out a little by saying "NO." if players ask for a knife or to be dragged. I try to be as helpful as I can. The problem is the player's fault. You will never be dragged or get a knife if you spam them. Admins aren't superhuman and players will never accept that even if we hammer it into their brains. So I beg you players, don't spam, don't ask, and be patient. TL;DR: STOP SPAMMING THEM AND BE PATIENT YOU NEWBS!

I think it even was the first hour the game was released. The player count went from 5 to 500 in a few mins xD |
Okay I didn't mean specifically 1000 hours, guys. I just meant the players who have been on since near the beginning OR have played a lot.

@Kat I agree with you mainly, except the fact that I do NOT have 1000+ hours and yet you don't see me spamming or raging :D ( Not all the time at least ;P) And I come to find that the newer players (200 hours or less) are actually pretty quiet and contained, and even nice on some occassions. It's those dang 400-700 hour kids that think they own the game because they played for a "Long Time." Ha! So I sit on a park bench and listen to them make false claims like "I've been playing since '08 when iEra hasn't even been out that long. And that makes me laugh, which is good :)
To all of you who took offense to something I said.... Hi, I'm Rok. I live on 1424 Scholar Drive, Green Bay Wisconsin. Come and say it to my face. |

After 6 months i returned and saw it better than classic (since i got a new iphone my account never got transferred) Know I Stook With era and noticed it changed! Rare items new guns epic clothes and more. I Should Have Stayed With iEra. SNK IS AWESOME AND HIS CREW!!! But Still I Played iEra Back When It Released And Also We Should Have Stayed With Old Era!!! I Pretty Much hated era when customs were released...

I'm perfectly fine with the guns I have, yes I want the BAR but it isn't a necessity for me to get. :) I also treat all admins like a regular person, just because they have abilities doesn't mean that they aren't something to freak about. Oh by the way, don't you just love the spams when you win something at auction ;)? And to me, it's not the gun, it's how the player uses it. Like I can own people with any gun just with my water pistol, yes it's harder with guns that have high damage, but it's possible :D. My opinion, please no one take it personal >.< And I'm going to shut up now before I say something else.
