I was a dedicated player of Bomber Online, when that was first released.
Played that **** all the time.
It was released by Eurocenter. So around the same time, they had also released GraalOnline Classic that December. I checked that out, but didn't really play much til a few months later, then in April of 2010 I got an iPad, started playing it more. However I quit classic from September to Early December. And saw everyone spamming ERA IS GONNA BE RELEASED TONIGHT!!!! But they were just spamming that.
Era was released that december, I got it a few days after release. And liked it. I first joined on my iPod and got killed. I believe start park wasnt a no-pk zone at the time. So there were campers outside war on idiotism killing. People already had cars. It was weird. So finally got it on my iPad and it was much better.
Long story short:
Played Eurocenters "Bomber Online" saw they released classic, got classic, started playing that, saw era was gonna be released, tried that, liked era.
