Join the new world

Dear citizens of the Netherlands,



It has been three months since the DAF Weekly Supplies have been reintroduced under the supervision of myself. We're twelve weeks in the project and I've decided to gather some details in order to find out what the effect of the supplies were on the amount of kills by MU members.



When i first started the Weekly Supply package I noticed players from all divisions would fill out the form and request their supplies. These supplies are based on the amount of kills done in the previous eRepublik week. The more kills you do the more supplies you will receive. Of course there is a limit to the supplies and there are slight differences per division. For more information on the supplies please visit our forum where they are explained in the form of a table.

In the first few weeks I had many players from division one who requested weapons which is great as our young soldiers have to save as much currency as possible in order to upgrade training grounds and become stronger. Spending money on food and Q7 weapons when you don't have to because a supply system is in place isn't something that is recommended.

After week 4 I noticed many D4 players started tanking more doing more than 750 kills each week and also request the weekly supply package to supply them with Q7 weapons. I hoped this would sprak a new level of activity from players in division 4 but after another 4 weeks the requests for supplies dropped once again. It could well be that the MU feed isn't read often enough for player to learn of the weekly supplies. When we started the supplies and I published several articles making sure everyone in the community knew about the supplies and how to request them. For a few weeks I published an overview displaying the number of supplies distributed. Just before D4 started tanking more I updated the D4 supplies to a maximum of 75 Q7 weapons when reaching 1400 kills each week. In the last few weeks the requests dropped and I thought to myself it's time for another publicity article.



In the pie chat below you will find the 'number of players %' who requested supplies based on division and strength.

As you may notice most supplies are requested by our soldiers from D1 and D4. These percentages don't mean anything if you don't know the total number of supplies requested. Let me help you understand this graph in put it into perspective.

Total Supplies Requeste😛 81
Average: 7,36 players each week

* Division 1 requested 27 supply packages
* Division 2 requested 5 supply packages
* Division 3 60k requested 9 supply packages
* Division 4 90k requested 29 supply packages

The average number of Q7 weapons supplied *per week*: 359 Q7 weapons
The average number of Q1 food supplied * per week*: 665 Q1 food



I hope that most DAF soldiers will fill out the supply form next week and enjoy the free supplies. Please do keep in mind when you are a D1, D2 or D3 player don't fight to much as it will gain you a lot of XP. If you are D4 I suggest you start doing as many kills as possible. Once you are D4 you will need to rank up as much as possible to enjoy some of the better rewards in the game as free training (no need to buy TC), 10% extra damage once reaching level 101 and continued rewards every 100 levels (101, 201, 301, 401 etc.)
