Over and over in era history, players have been told to expect new and exciting content; over and over it is eventually forgotten about or pushed back and replaced with some lesser update.

So far:
Ninja Town
Morano Project
Gang Points
Coop's Project/New town
Pets
Capture The Flag
Gym
(the list goes on and on etc)

has been promised, and we are still waiting. I don't want to call the staff team lazy, but when I see staff members basing, just hanging around or not really doing anything at all, it makes me upset. Yes, I know staff need breaks and whatnot, but it has honestly been about 6-8 months since a great, well thought out update. Most of the stuff listed was supposed to be expected during Summer, but now it is Fall. So please, stop giving us these updates that entertain us for 30 minutes - 1 day, and fufil the promises made to us about the updates that YOU announced and got us excited for.

We are waiting.  

Or don't tease us with things that you'll never release  

Agreed. We are all waiting. Some players don't have enough faith anymore when it comes to announcements for a future update. Too many coming soon content that never gets released. Get the job done. Era shouldn't be filled with too many coming soon contents.  

I lost hope in the airport, useless.  

I don't play Era but I agree anyway.  

Sigh*  

staffmembers: "what? oh no we cant tell you what we are doing, it all has to be some kind of secret for some ****ing reason", its updates, not spoilers, not everything has to be a surprise... idiots  

I have two more to add:

Bank Robbery Quest
Zombies Minigame Expansions

Classic isn't the only server with an ADD staff team? That makes me feel better.  

D'you feel better, Rufus?

Us players don't.  

I agree with you all... But it's as an oldbie said recently...
The older staff have to work with younger people and they're all volunteers. In contrast to professionals who have the ability to put loads of time in, the volunteers have lives. It's hard working with people half your age in a regimented, professional way.

But yes, I agree. Projects should not be announced until they are 99% done.  

It's like old classic stuff where they leaked towns etc and that hyped everything for months and staff promised not to leak anything in development again.
Lol. Era staff apparently like being badgered.

My main problem is they have time to do "Z room" parties every other day, or go sit in a base all day, or just mess around with friends and as it turns out, close to nothing gets done. Take all the time they took doing nothing or just being "show offs" and stuff would be getting done and would be done.

I would agree with you if that statement was true. And I wish it was that simple. But imma say it how I see it, they don't care anymore. The updates that do happen are half assed and buggy. Halloween=door knocking bugs. New events=bugs. They don't even fix it. They trash em or just let it go on. That's my problem with how things are going.

I honestly wish I had the eagerness I once did to log on to Graal everyday and play and enjoy myself. But there is nothin to enjoy anymore. Everything is old. Everything is worn out. People have quit because of it, but still, No one seems to care.

Again, going to say I'm not calling staff lazy. I'm not hating on them as its their voluntary duty to run around with boots and hang with friends and answer a question a week. I'm just sick of nothing getting done.

Meph is a good admin. he listens to players. He works. He does what he says he will do. He gets it done. Other staff should take notes from him. Js  

I want to know why I see hearts gang members lagged in a base and unable to take damage and blocking off doorways, with her in the base and not doing anything about it. They don't even have time to do their regular duties as PRs?
And I want an honest answer here. When is it the gfx teams job to do stuff like juggernaut and get hundreds of kills and create a laggy cluster of players instead of work? Breaks or not half the day I see staff doing events, hiding, and not working.
And yeah throwing parties for their "friends" like jester said.

Not all staff do these things but a darn good portion of them do.  

Waiting since May for the Morano project.

and for Coop's surprise.

Also, that shop named after a former developer that was going to release toys.
