Hello everyone.
Over the past 2 weeks we have gathered suggestions and wishes of you guys regarding new upload rules.
With those suggestions we have now updated our upload rules. Please take a look and give us feedback on them so we know if we missed anything.
The upload rules will be made official this weekend. The following includes some additional informations for staffs.
Feel free to just ignore them.

Players should review latest upload rules at:
http://www.era-go.com/forum/showthre...Upload-Rules--
How to upload:
Say /checkuploads on client or use the upload tool in your staff
tools list to check on the waiting uploads.
Not following the rules will cause a block from the upload-tool!
If you are not 100% sure then ASK an experienced PR or a PRA/SPR
don’t just accept or reject and upload.
**NOTE: *Before accepting or rejecting, be sure to click the
"Color" button to cycle through a few colors and check for
transparency issues.
*EVERYONE NEEDS TO DO THIS ON EVERY UPLOAD!*
In the top left corner of your screen, under the map icon, you will see
a circle in which you can see the amount of waiting uploads.
Tapping the circle will also open the upload tool!
If you receive this message "you are not allowed to review personal
uploads" contact Layerd to get access to the uploads tool.
-------------------------------------------------------
CUSTOMS IN GENERAL:
Changes:
All animal heads are allowed as long as they fit in the template*
Side note: They need to be pixelated - so no real-life cat images that are cropped in the head template.
Staff Heads:
Since there were many issues with staffs not owning staff heads we are going to create a room for staffs and players to review.
In this room we are going to add staff heads (1 per staff) that are actually owned by the staff. Any other heads staff uses is allowed to be uploaded by anyone.
Customs that use different colors in different frames are now allowed.
Please DO NOT upload any custom that does not adhere to the
following rules:
- Any images that may be deemed racist or offensive against a
- player(s) or real life individuals
- No translucent, invisible, or small heads and bodies
- No heads or bodies that only show outlines
- No images which may disturb game play such as flashing shields,
gore or violent-glowing shields, shields that cover more than ½ of
the player - No flashing images
- Do not upload customs which are significantly larger or smaller
than the templates - No customs which make you appear invisible on certain grounds
(such as grass-looking bodies/heads) - No images that are pictures of real life people or real life
animals* - No customs that are copyrighted such as Pokémon heads/bodies
- No customs that have logo's on them like Batman, Spiderman, Superman, Nike signs etc.
- We do allow customs with a weapon provided if it is NOT a weapon that
is sold in Era - Make sure the head/body is facing the right direction.*
Pay attention to all frames of a custom!
The player might try to hide inappropriate stuff in there.
(Player turns into a flower in the grab frame etc.)
-------------------------------------------------------
HEADS:
Changes:
- We now allow small animations on heads. Such as mouth/ears moving as well as eyes.
- Some heads come in with a small bandana which is acceptable as
long as it doesn’t cover the entire head - Food heads are now allowed.
- Gummy bear heads are now allowed.
Heads WE DO NOT allow:
- Meme heads

sell in iEra - Moving heads, flashing heads

Bodies WE DO NOT allow:

full purchase price IF you do this within 1 hour timeframe of when
you submitted the upload. After 1 hour you will receive 1/2 of your
original purchase price if you choose to refund a custom. If there
are heads that have been approved prior to 2013 that do not meet
these guidelines, they will be considered "grandfathered" in or
allowed to stay due to the duration of time since they have been
utilized in game.
If you would like to purchase additional character slots to save
your looks, you may also do this for $2,400 each at Vanderwoodsens

Things you should know:
If the uploaded file is a gif-file please wait some seconds to
ensure it’s approvable!
Weapons at the back of a body are allowed as long it´s not a weapon
of the iEra server!
If you accidently accepted a file or players need a fix / re-upload
of a HEAD or BODY (!) contact an experienced PR.
If you aren’t sure if you can approve a certain custom just use the
"next" button to head to the next upload or ASK experienced PR's or
a PRA/SPR and don’t just accept or reject.
We reserve the right to disapprove any upload for any reason that is not listed on these rules!
---------------------------------------------------------------
FOR PRs:
There is no certain limit anymore that you have to reach.
Just make sure uploads don't wait too long for its approval.
Welcome to the team and good luck with uploads.
---------------------------------------------------------------
If errors are made- such as a PR accepting an upload that is deemed
"illegal" such as copyright, they should have their upload manually
refunded for half price- as they should have read the rules to
begin with and not uploaded a copyrighted image-
The command to do this would be /npcrefundupload filename 0
If it's an error with transparency or a technical fault that has
nothing to do with the actual attempted content of the upload them
should receive a full refund.
The command to do this would be /npcrefundupload filename 1
If you're not sure ask someone!*
If you have any questions regarding uploads please contact Layerd, Cleopatra or an experienced staff.
