EDITED UPDATE:
Admins have released an article on this matter:
Click Here For Official Release
Also, my 10,000 GOLD was removed after some communication between me and the admin members. Cheers for the great service and not banning me forever
🙂
For the "reset the game" fans:
"Also, the team of researchers consider resetting eRepublik the same as pressing the nuclear bomb button, which isn't fun at all."

How bad is this?
I myself was unaware of any cheating going on in eRepublik until a few suspicious events occurred.
I became aware that a guy named e-garenc went out and started many resistance wars. After I approached him about it, he sent back some PMs and a nice, little, comfy sum of...10, 000 GOLD. That's a lot of GOLD guys!
How much? Clearly enough to be illegal.
I then noticed the article "eRep is Dead" in the Internationals section. After reading it it all became clear. These guys are SWIMMING in fake GOLD. I am now one of those individuals.
What now?
Its Sunday so the admins are not working so they cannot shut down the site. The cheaters can transfer the money to hundreds or thousands of accounts and launder it. The game can be f'ed up beyond any repair. Markets will be destroyed, wars will be won with ridiculous damage totals and generally everything that can go wrong will. People have billions of GOLD floating around.
What will I do, what should you do?
If you have illegal GOLD, do NOT use it. I have the GOLD in my account and am waiting for admins to delete it. I have sent them an email to investigate. I do not want to do anything to it out of fear that I will get banned no matter what happens now, whether I send back, share it, use it, or do nothing with it.
I urge everyone to vote this up, maybe subscribe because that's cool right (don't get much of those in Switzerland) and spread the word about this.
Consequences
eRepublik will probably be shut down for a few days while the admins try to sort all this out and remove the GOLD. If the admins do not react soon, they will have a lot of fixing to do. Many will get rich unfairly and completely demolish the game for others. If you are a good sport like me, do not use the money and do NOT donate it back for the wrongdoers to share with others. Message admins to delete it from you.
VOTE TO SAVE eREP
ROLLBACK/RESET!
Cheers,
Banach
Possible Victim of GOLD
Comments
guys, if you have exploited GOLD, send a PM to the admins.
Don't wait them to delete the GOLD.
There is always Report a Bug, Contact Moderators, when somethin goes wrong.
My predicition Admins won't be able to rollback since they probably thought their game was unhackable and file for bankruptcy.
I contacted admins under "Other" and told them what happened
My prediction: No more eRepublik
i want 10000 gold 🙁
Banach you nub. Thats not what you do when these things happen, damned. Should have kept quite and started funneling the money 😛
*sigh* eRepublik was fun while it lasted. Why do idiots have to ruin the game?
Restart the whole game. Amen.
Restarting isn't that bad of an Idea.
WTG Banach!
So can we all agree that Romania won this round and now lets start a new one.
😛
Restart the game!!!
DO MOT RESTART THE GAME!!!!!
jUST SHUT IT DOWN FOR LIKE A DAY OR TWO.
LETS GET TOGETHER AND KEEP THEM FROM SHUTTING DOWN THE GAME.
restart the game 😛 .
eRepublik will be knonw as the more bugged game in the history of the universe wkwkwkwkwkwkwkwkkakawkakwka
Or if you shut the game down, let us keep our Hard Worker Medal streaks!
If they roll it back a week I do not exist. Thats not cool. The problem with shutting down the game is they could lose players. people work alot to get to where they are and its tought to restart from scratch.
OMG! admin oh admin...
That is serious.
If the game is restarte😛 Ill quit 🙂
restarting would be very odd... all level 1's, no gold, no componys... its going to be very odd if the game gets restarted. but also its unfair if someone just bought some gold, they just wasted 20 bucks on gold.
deep dish pizzas batman, this is serious!
or as serious as this punk claims it to be, I don't really believe this guy
I think he just wants to start a fuss
but thats just Johnny thinking out loud
restart = good
I'm relatively new here, but I am going to just say this; and before I do I want to make it CLEAR that this is just MY PERSONAL OPINION: If you can't play this game ( and after all.... IT IS JUST A GAME ) without using a cheat to get ahead, then you have absolutely NO business here in the first place. Just because you can cheat doesn't mean it's okay to do it. As far as what some of the responses I've read here had to say.... Personally I say "Kudos to anyone who did report this," I would have done the same thing. Anyone can be a cheater, but it takes real GUTS to stand up for what you believe in. Especially when it can make so many people mad. Just keep following your own conscience and you will never go wrong.
If they restart they'll have to figure out some way to give us players who have been here a while some kind of bonus. Otherwise I'm going to be pissed to lose all the money, medals, and newspaper subscribers I have.
This is unfair for those who bought gold, as said earlier. So unless admins remember those people and get them their gold again I am against a restart. Otherwise it's not that bad of an idea. Either way I am against a restart though, good thing I am still relatively new, otherwise I would be really pissed about a restart.
isn't everything backed up on daily bases? can't they just go back for few days or something? I think that would be much better!
@Ashot
That would be nice, but I do not believe that they do that.
Pause, fix, continue. I already subscribed here, glad I did.
Restart the GAME!!!
RESTART!!!! RESTART!!!! RESTART!!!! 10 posts for a restart to 24 not for restarting.
Wow, Voted.
restart
Restart will kill the game. Tracking down the gold will be time consuming but not impossible.
i'm a new citizen in this world, but i don't that restart would be the best option
Good to know my RL money I put in is worthless now.
Haha, I can't imagine how much damage a restart would do. With more than half of the current population being inactive, or close to it, we may see tons of population loss, countries being completely forgotten due to the lack of population, other areas gaining complete dominance over others. Of course, that's the way it works now I suppose.
I don't know, I'm not a big fan of restarting the entire damn game right now. Seems like that would mean everything people have earned would be a complete loss. I would assume so many people would just plain quit if a restart was to happen. I would imagine eRepublik starting to die out at that point.
I would prefer to keep the game going as it is. Besides, if they were going to restart everything, it would have been a long time ago. Maybe back when we switched off to Version 1 of the script.
versions beta.......i like it
I hope they don't inadvertently remove the legal gold. I have purchase receipts for my gold.
RESET this BUGGY GAME!!!

thats why i can't go to monetary market??
They can't restart the game with a full population. During Beta we had to join a waiting list to be let in, remember? Or that was certainly the case in any number of less developed countries such as South Africa. Reason: no companies and no employment. They have no process for restarting the game with a full population of players.
If they roll back the game, many people will most likely lose gold they paid for. Trust will be destroyed and they will not likely see any more real money for gold any time soon.
If admins don't roll back, they are unlikely to catch all the exploit gold and people will likely feel depressed when they are scrabbling to earn 1 gold every 3-4 days (or even every 1-2 weeks in some really pathetic countries), when they know that others are still sitting with 10s or 100s of thousands of gold unaccounted for.
The problem here, apart from poor coding, is really the immature "micro-payments" model and the resulting lack of loyalty to admins. It is unusual to see such low levels of player loyalty in large online games. Sadly, that is not a good sign.
Be as it may i just found this game hate the wellness and poor mans food being to high too buy to live long in the game but.
i love this game and if it rolls back ill roll back to WoW. 🙁
This bug was exploited for weeks, all knew it(not the bug)there was too much suspicious gold, like peace doing 180K damage in two blocking(useless) wars.
It was not a sunday thing...
It's reset time...
Reset guys, our only salvation :/
There's no easy way out of this. Admins must admit it. They f*cked up.
a reset or a rollback are the only viable options. Reset it, give the bought gold back and that's it.
ROLLBACK OR RESET NOW! OTHERWISE THIS GAME WILL BE A JOKE!
Delete all accounts and start over! RESET NOW!
Rollback would be much better than reset, 50% of people will leave with resetting.
Reset !
