Who here started on iEra, tried playing the PC client, but gave up on it?

How many of you who started on iEra play the PC client regularly and enjoy it?

I am new to these forums but not new to Graal. I've been playing Era since 2003 and I am disappointed in the current status of the server. I am trying to push new ideas that could potentially improve the experience for new players and bring in additional playercount. I want to use the results from these questions to back my argument that Era is losing out on potential new players because of how the server caters to existing players who have had years of presence.

Any additional comments regarding your experiences with the PC client are welcome!

If any of you are interested in what I had in mind, I have a thread on the official Graal forums:

The main reason that most iEra players don't play on the PC is because most of them are underage and the whole entire subscription fee is kind of a big turn off. Also, as I recall, the community is incredibly awful over there. Not as bad as iEra's, but it's still pretty damn bad. It's a decent server, but the fact that there's like 60 people playing it sucks.

Good point. I honestly can't say I've ever played iEra. I've logged on maybe once or twice but never got myself into the game so I was unaware of what the main player demographic is.

PC subscriptions are definitely awful. It's reasonably priced but the lowest pack of gelats you can purchase is 2400 for $33 which gets you 8 months of gold, instead of just paying $4~ a month which would be a much more efficient and wallet friendly method. There are ways to obtain gelats for free but it requires surveys and sketchy program downloads.

Thanks for the input. I will definitely keep everything you said in mind.

No problem, buddy. I've played it a few times but I never really got into it. The other huge reason is the whole entire Gelat thing. It would be so much easier to just make it a subscription that you buy straight from graal instead of going to some sketchy gelat thing. But that's just my opinion.

You can buy gelats directly from the Graal Online website which is reliable, but like I said they force you to spend at least $33 for 8 months worth of gelats. The SuperRewards website is legit but to someone who is new it does look very sketchy.

Although what I can do is aim to try and make Era better and hopefully kick ass enough that people will obtain subscriptions in which ever way they desire in order to play the game!  

I'm not necessarily an iEra player, but whenever within minutes of logging onto PC Era, Lilfeen called me some pretty rude things. I stopped playing.  

I enjoy both iEra and Era, I prefer Pc era, but I don't play it as much as back in 2007-08 because the players have gotten pretty rude, nd ***, forreal pc era guys talk more smack than iEra kids.
Quit iera since 6 months now due to some *** with the manager, snk.
On pc era, skilled players get what they deserve, iEra is all about the $$$ you spend, and how much you suck the staff's *****.
Enjoy both, but prefer client for better controls.  

Ozzy you think PC is any different? Getting money on Era PC is next to impossible. If you want to get anywhere you have to USD.

Era PC seems amazing but the rude players ruin it. Not to mention starting players have no chance against guys who have been playing forever. The game is not noob-friendly.  

ihot can you please stop, you can make 14k an hour by trashpicking.

I'm sure you can T_T  

Like getto said, ez to make cash, mining gives lots of $ too, and unlike iEra, Era has a PROPPER,FEE-FREE trade system, aswell as LENDING system, and your friends can give you cash trough this system aswell.
If 16 man spar events didn't exist on iEra, I would have 5 out of my 40 guns I actually own.
Bar being 300k on pc,Ok? But you can make 50k a day.
iEra? Buy those nice 27500g packs for 9,99$/€ =90$ for a bar. No thx.

Snk didn't allow betspar because he said we'd use it as a trade system (when iEra didnt have a trade system), still doesnt want to add? Why? Because skilled players would get rewarded for being pro, which he wouldnt allow ofc.
Era pc is maybe, not noob-friendly, but iEra isn't either, but at least I know that if I am good, I will make it on pc.

Gst champ twice in a row, 23k wins, what did I get? 2 gst hats, 1 ganghouse which snk refuses to update because of personal beef with me.
7 years on pc, this kind of *** didn't happen. Not to talk about those 'famous' kids getting hired on iEra (*sigh* jenni *sigh*) and all those other suck-ups.

I have experience, if Pc era was an ios app or if iEra would be accessible trough client publicly (and players would see pc era), I bet you everyone would play pc.  

I started on iEra, tryed PC era but gave up due to the insanely high prices, the guys who run super fast, and low digging payouts

The entire PC community is just horrible. Both the development and the player community.

Because the iServer community (both aswell) is so much better right. /sarcasm.
Don't forget most of the dev running/managing the iServers, are for the most of them players from pc a.k.a the pc community.

Don't say "well iEra is just as bad" when someone says pc Era is horrible. I bet if you ask Emera, he'll think that iEra has a bad community too. Keep in mind this thread is about pc Era please.
