Petition For The Removal Of Era iPhone’s Manager: Andrew (xAndrewx)
So, as many of you fellow Erians know, our favorite MMO (or whatever) is not the same as it was when we first began this colorful and utterly wonderful game, we were immediately drawn into it like a moth to a flame. For the first few months, all went well. But of course, all good things must come to an end. The golden ages of Era abruptly ended because of a new way to win. The God tier-Browning Automatic Rifle were released at the price of $250,000, as well as a new way to earn money known as “Gralat Packing”. This method is when a player purchases an iTunes gift card with real money and uses it to make an in-app purchase. While we understand that this is necessary to fund the server and expenses, snk took it over the top. The prices soon began to climb, as an innocent way to bang up a couple of bucks that are needed to fund a server as well as to make a living off of turned into a greedy way to extract money from people who want the item more than they want to work for it. An excellent example of this is the auction system. In order to obtain an item that is exclusive and excessive to the server, a player must either work for several dozens of hours, or to open their wallet and drop one hundred dollars to purchase a single item. While making real money is important, the WAY in which snk implemented this was not suitable. Gralat packs should be spent on guns and weapons, but not elusive, p2w weapons and items.
Not only did he completely branch off from Era’s original idea of gang combat and PVP, he essentially made it Graalonline Trading Simulator 2013. Not that trading is a bad thing, but the focus of the game shouldn’t be solely about trading. Favoritism persevered throughout this time, and the “popular” players obtained the rare weapons, while the less fortunate were stuck digging for days and weeks. What followed were a series of obnoxious and repetitive updates, not taking the suggestions and player opinions into any account whatsoever. In addition to all of the repitition, snk practices favoritism, and if you are not a player who is either about to sue the company or is insanely popular, you won’t get a response.
WHAT WE PROMISE THE NEW MANAGER WILL BRING TO ERA:Better staff members. Not uneducated plebians we have come to know as "Player Relations".
A Better representation of the Graal Online name.
Favoritism and P2W auction items, erased.
A more fun enviornment for people of ALL AGES to enjoy.
A swear filter that can be turned on and off.
Not being jailed for expressing your opinions
New, fresh content!
END THE MELEE WEAPON SPAM!
An actual Events Team that is structured like that of Era PC's.
Features like Era's mall, and tradeable guns and such, this will not diminish the value of guns and will not bring less money to Stefan.
An actual trading system and a lending system, not some odd building with children capslocking the shit out of the room.
Items more readily available to the common player.
MUCH MORE!
Background Information about Era before it became an iPhone Server
While some of you may know this, others of you may not. Era first began as a PC server way back in 2004, before legitimately anyone started to play, aside from Delph, Rick, and Chrisz. This was their world, not monitored by Stefan, which wasn’t the best. They had it rolling, but it was Stefan who helped Chrisz script the original Era stuff. Era then rolled throughout history, and branched into two servers, Era and Era iPhone. Era iPhone at first seemed too good to be true - Basically, I was able to play Era away from my PC! Aside from certain issues such as not being able to drop and trade firearms, and not nearly as many items in general, this was basically a perfect clone of Era! Snk was running it well, under Stefan’s watch.
Then, everything changed, when something clicked in Andy’s brain, and he decided to run the wonderful server right into the ground.
Not only did he completely branch off from Era’s original idea of Gang combat and PVP, he essentially made it Graalonline Trading Simulator 2013. Not that trading is a bad thing, but the focus of the game shouldn’t be solely about trading. Favoritism persevered throughout this time, and the “popular” players obtained the rare weapons, while the less fortunate were stuck digging for days and weeks. What followed were a series of obnoxious and repetitive updates, not taking the suggestions and player opinions into any account whatsoever.
Therefore, with this being said, we, the players of Era nominate the following people for manager of Era iPhone:
Alfonso - DRAGON551
BlueMelon - BlueMelon
Nick - Xloria
Fed - The_Federov
Cloyd - Irrashinal
Tig - Tigairius
fp4 - fowlplay4
Scoper - Scoper
TSAdmin - TSAdmin
Zachary - MonkeyBob

By the way look at this post. We can quote our fellow Graalians. http://www.graalians.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22873
some very good quotes in that post btw^ Ghetto raged a page long
Ghettoicedtea: “be warned, they will ban you for following the rules.
also if you speak of gun balancing, you will be banned.”
Ozzy Magus: “
Quit iera since 6 months now due to some sht with the manager, snk.”
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 sht 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.
To wrap this up, our final words are this: Choose freely.
The choice is yours.
Make the change that Era needs, end the Tyranny.

The feedback I keep getting from all of you proves that this greed is ruining the game we all love. I am spending my time documenting how these pricing shifts are pushing out the dedicated players who made this community what it is.

Seeing this response confirms that I am not alone in my frustration over what has happened to our game. The way this community is speaking up proves that our love for Era remains strong despite how greed has changed things.

And other thing about pay2win is,you waste a lot of time in digging or whatever if you don't pay and mainly you give up Just pay pay pay and win,where is working hard,competition or even fun! Games are for fun winning or losing by working hard not by paying simply and you work hard for 100$ if you are 12-15 years and you waste in second...wow...seriously?!
Pay-to-win is destroying video games today, it let's those that are in power and have a lot of money be good at something that they have put no effort towards, and that has no place in a competitive game.
This game needs a new leader
Era is shit anyway instead of moaning please gather a group of people and take this server out
We need a new manager
Guide on how to get hired in iEra: 100% free information, no charge, no corruption! Yay! Males Step 1: Befriend a PRA! Step 2: Play other online games with them Step 3: When applications open tell them that you applied Step 4: Wait for them to read it - if they don't like it and think it needs work then wait for them to send you an application they wrote their self for you. Congratulations you're hired! Advantages of being a PRA's BRO!! none Disadvantages: Stay away from their bitches otherwise you will be fired Stay away from them or you will be fired Look at them and you will be fired Talk to them and you will be fired You will be fired Biggest disadvantage: You will end up in Zone to re quench your thirst for power! Female: Step 1: Be a Girl If step one doesn't work proceed to step 2. Step 2: Befriend the PRA Step 3: Compliment them Step 4: If you spend some time on step 3 you will be dating them by now Step 5: You should be hired! Advantages: You have a pussy! You can get anything you want as long as you provide something in return! If you catch my drift? Eh eh? Disadvantages: You will be asked for nudes a lot by your E-BF and the male prepubescent staff team! If you ever break up or piss them off they will fire you, ip ban you and reset you! If another staff pretend-flirt with you they will be fired! You will be forbidden from talking to any other male in the staff team except SNK! Yay You will be mentally broken! Yay You will be doomed to marry this PRA otherwise he will stalk you irl! Yay You will never be a PRA as a female. TITS OR GTFO If you're ugly and look like you've eat one too many twinkies, guess what?! Yes, you will be fired! Quit? NO! Not without providing all of your contact details! Congratulations! If you followed this guide you should be hired!
Former iEra staff for (?) years. Just got to say the I am 100% on this. I don't hate SNK but his staff team are corrupt as **** and he does **** all about it. His PRA's hire those who are friends of them or girls that they want to Edate. Not lying here, but half of us who are hired either were known by a PRA or were sent an application directly by a PRA themselves (they dont check every application to make it easier they send out applications to the people they WANT TO HIRE) so if your ever considering going for a staff app and you have the grammar of a a dyslexic six year old then I say turn away because staff have some good laughs at your apps. You also get unfairly fired and they find reasons to fire you so they can hire other people. Eurocenter are so f****ing cheap that they use kids to run a game for them and once these kids get a taste of power they think they are f****ing gods. Maybe guve a f****ing nude to a PRA and you can consider yourself hired! A lot of players who want to actually f****ing help the sh** server dont get the opportunity to help because of its f****ing hierarchy. Higher ups within the staff remove the logs of people they favour over you and if you "snitch" within the staff team even thought the f***ing application asks you to they fire u. 99% of the dev team USD and don't get fired because SNK is too cheap and can't afford to lose devs. Devs get away with anything which is why they USD but if anybody else does it you get ip banned. Oh and f**cking Stefan is known for credit card fraud. The staff don't give a f**k about you as long as they can manipulate the game by selling pixels to make some irl $$$$$$$
