Will there be another era after the ilClan?

We've barely started the ilClan era.
Sure, there will be other eras in time.

Thanks! and while I'm asking how long does it generally take to complete an era.

It's not a set cycle. Not in any way, shape, or form. And the eras overlapped with fiction and products.

The Star League era did not exist as a running story or product line.
Succession Wars was active for 5+ years.
Clan Invasion rand for 9+ years.
Civil War was about 3 years.
Jihad ran for 6 years concurrently with the Dark Age storyline.
The Dark Age ran for over 19 years.
The ilClan era has been around for just barely 2 years. Don't expect it to be over in a year or two.

Also note: We're still creating products for all of those eras.

In your personal opinion, what era do you think was/is most successful
