From the name, one would expect 'Modern' to mean...present day. Now.

So, you would think a 'Modern Server' would include houses...cars...cities, banks, stores, jobs, etc.

But so far, just about every 'Modern Server' has been a "Take this gun and go shoot someone" server.
So, now the term modern is basically 'gun server'. There are alot of things you can do with a modern theme.

But people always seem to go back to the one thing that links to Era. Guns.

Guns guns guns guns guns. They make up 70+% of a modern server.
Every aspect...gameplay - Shoot people to get kills.
Events - shoot people to win.
Gangs - shoot other gangs.
Even certain jobs...bounty hunters. You shoot people.

And for those people who dont wanna run around shooting people, who try to do other jobs, talk with people, do w/e they want. Get shot.

I'm done with this right now, because i have to go do something.

But the point im making...modern servers are always seen as era clones, because...thats really what they are. If you base your server around guns and shooting people, and then just randomly throw in some small jobs here and there.

Thats era.
