I really don't understand why reset now.
4-5 months ago when I was a mere developer and 20-30 players logged on daily we didn't raise a single discussion about reset.
When player activity was at an all-time low, gang bases were empty, and the only people online were idling, it was not considered.

Now, after myself, Ishmael, and other development staff have released several updates that deal with gangs, weapons, and other content, the playercount has skyrocketed to nearly 100 players every single day... but the management wants to reset the server..?

I really don't understand that ideology at all. Players today now can earn weapons, money, whatever they want if they decide to work for it (which is how it should be).

This new economy, and new gang system has clearly brought life back into Era (even though they may need some tweaks) and if we reset now we'll lose a lot of old players who came back, and a lot of the newer players who just started a couple months ago and worked their way into this new system.

I think we've easily proven that if we work with the players and work through errors in these systems, we can actually change the game without saying "hey lets just reset everyone on the game once again and start over".
It solves no issues, it is a weak and short-term solution, and only leaves the same problems to be solved by a future staff team.
