I proposed to get rid of the economy 5+ years ago back when Daz was manager. everyone thought I was ****ing crazy because back then, one of the primary focuses of administrations were to fix the economy. every time someone new took over they always had some magic plan to "fix the economy", and I called out on it a long time ago that the economy could never be stabilized, there will always be flaws, people will have advantages, and it would do nothing but go downhill. sure enough, that's what happened.
now days it seems like everyone's focus is to try and fix the gangs, and I believe there's a bigger picture to a bigger problem that's being ignored. the game itself is extremely stale. new players aren't drawn to the server because of how impossible it is to compete against players that have been building up their inventories for years and years. you're trying to force a small group of players into gang activity that have been participating in the same damn thing over and over for the past few years. it's just not going to work..
era needs some fresh faces, and there's a ridiculous amount of potential to pull player count from the mobile/facebook servers. pc era isn't exciting though. it's a mundane grind fest to anyone looking in from the iservers. getting rid of the economy is the only thing left that could help spark the enjoyment of this server again. new players will come in, everyone will be on a more equal playing field, skill will be the ultimate factor in success over riches, it would be fun.
