iEra- Sucking Battery

Era News · 12-23-2011

I was bored today, so I decided to do an experiment!
Need to know:
•I player graal on an iPod 4th generation which has been used for over a year now so it may similar with different devices

Firstly I put on graal, AFKed, and timed how long it took before it turned off. The time was exactly 3:20H.
Secondly, I put it on charge and waited till it reached 100%
Thirdly, I took it off charge and put a 3D online app on and AFKed, timing it once again, the time was a whopping 4H.

I was absolutely amazed with my findings.
Does era need a battery upgrade or what?
It may have been a coincidence but I will be conducting another experiment (the same one) again to see if my findings are true.

Voice your answers.

BTW has anyone made an iEra dictionary? I was thinking of making one.

The reason that iEra AFK doesn't last long is because it is constantly using wifi, which drains your battery

This, and the rendering is rather inefficient.

I use to turn down the screen light when I'm at school and playing, so it will last longer.

It's already well known that both Graal clients deduct battery life rapidly and not so well known that they cause long term damage to the better life if constantly left on with the Graal clients running. By doing what you just did, you've probably just damaged your battery life on finding some information that could be easily found of the forums by searching the word "battery"

Constant streaming WiFi, movement, constant updates, bullet lag are only small contributers to draining an iPod's battery.
In fact, once I was playing Era when I put it down to get something to eat when I found this weird crusty stuff all over the bottom. It was the battery. Time to stop AFKing.
