unless globals specifically told you to hold development until administration was put into place. if that's the case, it only makes the globals look that much more retarded because there's no excuse to halt development.
Will you shut up

The only thing you and icarus did was totally **** everything over and destroy what tiny fragment of balance that was left in the server

Now everybody runs around with coveted 'rare' WW2 weapons that are overpriced to ****ing hell, most decent weapons are SO expensive now that making money by the ordinary methods isn't feasible and therefore the only way to obtain such equipment is by either having incredibly generous friends, or scamming someone dry or spending obscene amounts of time on the game

100k should be an absolutely ****ing absurd amount of money as it was back in the day. Right now it's worth about as much as a car was when era was fresh from the first modern reset. It's pathetic.

The server doesn't need any NEW EXCITING CONTENT or whatever everybody else rambles on about of that calibre. It doesn't need new businesses or guns, or new gangs and features - it needs a goddamn reset, a proper open economy (going back to andy's player own businesses system is a start) and regular power distribution between players instead of allowing a select minority of people to hoard all the power for indefinite amounts of time

The reason people are losing faith as a whole in where graal/era is ultimately going is by the utterly pathetic and downright stupid methods development seems to take in ensuring players continue playing the game. Distributing power to singular people in order to instill hope (and therefore, the chance for another person to seize such power) and promote gameplay is a shocking design choice and can be accurately matched to CJ's whole 'gelats' system that buys cards and all that jazz. You do it once, see how utterly useless the cards and crap are and then get sick of the entire concept and never do it again. It's like development choices are harming the players and scolding them for playing the game

Era needs a reset, a restaff and a good reassessment of it's fundamental design choices to ensure the entire project doesn't collapse inwards into devoblivion, just like 2k1
