Hello, bf9 here!
It has been quite some time before I talked about Arte - a project I first started to provide a platform to allow the aspiring artists in the iEra Community to present their work in-game.
First, I'd like to apologize for me having to resign the iEra Staff Team due to other work in real life (in the process, the Arte Project has experienced a succession of both good and bad states). I remember back then, when I worked on the Arte Project, I had a great time interacting, connecting and working closely with a group of artists from the iEra Community - I did not wish to disappoint because I'm 100% certain that the artists too have placed a lot of effort into their work and it deserves to be treated with respect.
It is only recently where I found out that the Arte Town has been removed and replaced. (don't know whose decision it was and can't be bothered). In the Arte Town, the concept of having an Arte Shop in a dedicated house was to offer a sense of ownership to the content creator.
I love the Arte Town. I'm really sad about the fact that it has been removed. But no, I don't feel the need to continue the rant about this topic. I'm in no position to approach the staff team about this too (there's a lot of difference in the staff team now).
In remembrance of the Arte Town, here's what it looked like (state after development, before release).

(note: there is a -50% shell drop rate - not an idea of mine)
With that,
- R.I.P Arte Town
