I like iClassic more. This thing about buying guns, repairing them, paying more, paying more, paying more, paying more, did I mention paying more? But I do like some of the iEra ideas. ;)

It's really not an effort *at all* to get the gralats you need for a decent gun, potion and weapon repair. (Just out of curiosity, do you farm in Classic? How much time have you spent on that?)

The weekend that crabs were dropping M4's, I dug enough shells to buy every weapon that was out the time, PLUS I had an extra $20k. Now, keep in mind that this was when *anyone* could take your shells (now they can't), AND there were no no-pk zones to dig in. So I was dealing with pkers and shell thieves constantly.

Nowadays I find digging to be boring, but I still managed to save up the $15k for my M16, AND afford the potion every week, AND repair my weapons (it took me all of 20 minutes of mining to get several weeks worth of minerals)...the gralats all came from trash, maybe 15 or 20 minutes a day.

yeah, i hate how the only thing people can find wrong on iera is that it costs more to maintain things yet they dont realize how much quicker and easier it is to make cash on iera. Also on iera hats are only 3-6k when on classic they normally range between 5-15k. So iera has its expensive items and classic has its expensive hats :p

I prefer iClassic. I've been playing for a while so I feel established and there isn't as much to learn about it.

classic, because era didnt give me the turtle hat i made when they sold it.

I prefer classic because it has a better community (personal opinion) and I find it more comfortable. Yes, I admit that era is better in the fact that it has events and it has a variety of different ways to make money. BUT, era require's its players to play for so long because if you don't, you'll run out of money for revive potions, and you'll run out of ammo. And you have to earn a lot of money for better guns etc. In this manner I find it, in my opinion, not very new-player friendly. Classic on the other hand, has your sword, bombs, and arrows. Very simple.

I spend 2 hours farming and get around 12k gralats. But thats being semi afk and chatting.

I keep hearing, "well you see era you have to spend SO MUCH MONEY AND TIME to even play because well expensive gun and potion"

You can get enough money for an AK without even trying. You can afford the potion after a few shovels worth of shells--and seriously that doesn't even take 1 hour PER WEEK.

Classic, Era is wayyyyy too laggy, and more expensive to even play. You have to buy respawn potions to enjoy it, and ammo. Plus most of the people are random noobs, no offense.

Yeahhh

You must have said that over 15 times on these forums! xD I understand what you are saying, but maybe some people like iClassic better than iEra simply because bombs, arrows, and swordplay always beats a gunfight (in my opinion). I would much rather do something like that than have to aim and have ammo to worry about and upgrades and broken weapons and... Not my cup of tea, no matter what iEra has that iClassic doesn't.

I'll stop saying it when people stop saying Era is expensive and difficult to play.

If you like Classic, I'm not arguing with you. Your reasons are all totally valid.

I never said its expensive or difficult, but I promise I'll try iEra again when it comes out for FaceBook, and I don't get killed every 3 seconds.

Dont worry you wont die every 3 seconds. iEra isnt like it was when it came out. There are a lot more safe zones :d
