Join the new world

When I first started playing eRepulik I had no idea what the hell I was doing. It's been 5 years since I started playing and I still have no idea what I'm doing. I think that there are several factors for why this hasn't been particularly accessible to me and I was hoping to share some of my gripes without providing and suggestions to solutions, but I'll get into that a bit later.

4 years ago, when I started to play, there was a tutorial of sorts, which to this day I cannot remember completing. In the following months I found myself diving into the official Wikipedia page, hoping to learn and soak in information like a sponge, and so began the decline.

At some point around becoming level 15 or 20 I started to feel stuck. I was doing the same thing every day that logged on, which wasn't always every consecutive day which made me feel more stuck. I'm not sure the truth to this but to me at the time, it seemed to be more rewarding to login everyday, and it was just not my prerogative to remember to login every day.

I logged in again this past Friday and popped open my little newspaper and started to think, "I may not have a whole lot of resources on hand, but I do have this: the power to speak my mind and report what I observe and share it with people." That's why I log on now.

I don't have any solution to my personal issues of accessibility to eRepublik because they're my own personal issues and even if they were problems that a majority of the members of the eRepublik has, any given solution would be nuanced due to the nature of accessibility and the impact that it has on the actual long-term effects on the way that it's played.

I rest my case by saying that while I think that accessibility is important, whether you have fun is more important. If eRepublik wasn't fun, people wouldn't play. I have fun doing this: writing my little niche newspaper in the corner of the internet.

Until next time,
