Lets Be Honest

[BlackandWhite]

I’ll disagree, our manager has been working very hard with all of us. Ever since he came in he has been doing an outstanding job at trying to fix issues the game previously had. But like I said before that of course takes time, games can’t be fixed from one day to the other, and people fail to realize that.

So how long will it take? Surely glaring issues such as lag does not need years.

And what's the point of saying this mysterious manager, "has been working very hard with all of us," when he has been absent in the public spotlight? Show us this outstanding job. Where is he. You're certainly not going to sway anyone with abstracts.

He doesn't need to be in public spotlight to do or be good. You wanna know where he is at? Probably busy, in some unreleased level, working on something for all of us. I know myself, Hoyt does an outstanding job.

iEra, to put it simply, is in the middle of a transition phase. New manager, new staff, new players and new problems arising at least once a week that need to be dealt with.

I don't know how old Hoyt is, but regardless of age I can imagine it's pretty stressful having the responsibility of handling something as big as this game and overlooking as much as possible to make sure as many things can stay in line.

You'll get everything you asked for with patience. Auctions, events, cool holiday shops and quests will all continue once we get out of this really rough spot. iEra as with all of the other servers have been experiencing a drought, but complaining constantly instead of providing actual constructive criticism will only delay the issue.

-People like the game, otherwise they would not play...What people do not like is how they are handling the game. New people can be easily fooled, but players with more experience are difficult.
Yes, with patience you can get everything.

-Admins should be players who love the game and are willing to help people when they need it. No players looking for "fame", benefits, and ignoring everyone except their friends etc...
People want new things, this game has a lot of potential.
Snk interacted with players and loved the game, now...????

If many players complain about admins, it's for something, right?
If many players get bored of the game, it's for something, right?

Yes, I admit some admins work, but .....Are the admins doing it right or wrong? Is it what people want or what the admins want??
I think we all know the answer.

Even if you say a constructive criticism, you will be ignored.

I'm not glossing over the issues that iEra has, that's not my intentions. I'm simply saying that the complaints aren't the way to go if we want things to change.

We all have our own feelings on the subject, however saying that our staff teams do not care will never help the issues. Players need to keep in mind that while we try our best to give everyone new and fresh ideas, those ideas also take time, and yes sometimes they might take years. Saying that we don't care really hurts, or when we try HARD to please what everyone wants and we get "EW This sucks!" "New VIP stinks!" "Stupid admins" ect, ect, and ect. Like GFX works hard on new items, and they are thrown off with mean words like that, not even opinions, but hateful things. But they keep doing it because one good comment out does the 200 hateful ones. Who else is going to make these items for ya'll? Who else is going to answer the same questions over and over.
Being any kind of staff, from Newspaper - Higher Staff is hard. It is not easy, but we do it because we enjoy making things, learning things, and helping ya'll. (Most do, and I do) With this being said, I am sorry it is not turning out how you would like, we are always trying our hardest to make this game fresh and enjoyable, it just takes time.

The things they have been working on aren’t very relevant right now.. For the most part it’s been adding house competitions, fixing glitches here and there, but that’s all I’ve seen. Maybe there’s something being worked on behind the scenes, but we wouldn’t know because of the lack of transparency between the management and players. Advertising and fixing larger issues such as lack of useful staff should be the priority.

Content isn’t the issue, I’m happy with most of it. People are concerned about the lowering number of players. You’re a great staff in my opinion and I’m sure many others <3. What people want is for the game they have been playing for years to not die.

House competitions were added by iMask himself with the approval of Hoyt of course. Yeah Glitches will always be fixed or tried to be fixed. Just because you as a player don't see the things we work on or do behind the scenes doesn't mean nothing is being done. The very point you don't see or hear about anything we do is because of projects like Country Side that got leaked and eventually just scrapped and who was in charge of that at the time? Your amazing SNK that is so amazing because he was in the "public spotlight". Yeah I have respect for SNK and what he's done for the game but he also left a lot of problems and is one of the reasons the game is where it's at. By the way what do you mean by "the lack of useful staff"? How would you know who is useful and who isn't you don't see what who works on and who does what. All the PRs do their job and occasionally do extra and host events for the players. The Graphics and Gani team work hard basically every week to make content for holiday shops, events and anything extra being made. The several Managers are always trying to improve things such as Junz working on Plasma and Jeff running the events and even added in that recent small quest. Hoyt is busy with many many things not just iEra. Advertising is just pointless since the game can barely handle 3000 players as we witness last night but then again the game doesn't need to handle 3000 players unless the server did get an upgrade which isn't up the in game staff anyways. Theres no transparency because no one wants a repeat of Country Side where a big project gets hyped and then scrapped and becomes a let down. The only time I would see something get hyped up is if it was finished and ready to be released and just want to see player reactions to it and see the feedback etc.

Thank you, that means a lot. As to players any game gets like this after a while. The number of players is not really something we can control. Sure we can add new things, and keep updated with the times but old players will leave, they grow up, become busier, ect. However new players will join and refill. We are at an awkward age range right now. And with school starting back up here in a few weeks for some it will be harder.

You’re kind of missing my point, and I don’t think I even mentioned Snk in my comment. What I mean by transparency is not related to content, because like I said that isn’t the issue here. It’s so that players have some assurance as to the direction of the game, as in things like advertising, progress on what they are working on to resolve the issues we are having now, etc.

P.S. You’re also a great staff and I know you do a lot of work, so don’t feel discouraged because you aren’t a part of the problem, if that seems like what I am trying to say. <3

Of course, no problem at all . I’m personally worried that there won’t be new people to come to the game to begin with, because of the lack of advertising/promotion from the game, other than that of people who already play the game spreading it through word of mouth. That’s actually how I found it, a friend told me about it years and years ago.
