[UPDATE][Plato's message] New changes - nothing to worry about. Keep calm
Financial business
like everyone I got Plato's latest message. And, like everyone I started screaming and running around while waving my hands in the air and yell "2012!!! it's coming!! this is the e-apocalyps!!!"
While running trough the room like a mad man, I didn't noticed the wall in front of me and ran straight in it.... It sorted my already damaged brain out and made regain my cool.
So I got on my white horse and set out to the magic land of IRC for a quest of answers. During this quest I bumped into the fair maiden that we all know as Xtasia, who has always been erepubliks most popular admin(even more so after RL pictures of her appeared on the old IG random forum once and half the random-users wanted to take the first flight to Romania to marry her and her enormous boo... eyes)
It was a battlefield on the IRC and everyone was in panic. Luckily we all turned to Xtasia's infinite wisdom and prophetic words which I copy-pasted bellow.
[12:31] < @XtaSia> dodial: nu skill will be introduced
[12:31] < @XtaSia> and working for your own land is not in our plans of being removed
[12:31] < @XtaSia> no*
[12:32] < bogdymol> XtaSia: what happens after this few last days of tool boxes?
[12:34] < dermont|afk> XtaSia
[12:34] < dermont|afk> no skill or new skills?
[12:34] < sumc> major problem would be to terminate the manager job
[12:34] < LowRider> meaning: GM work will be removed in 2 months:))
[12:34] < @XtaSia> No skill
[12:34] < shadowukcs> XtaSia what happens if you have a 30-40 toolboxes and it's impossible to use them all up in the next "few days"
[12:34] < @XtaSia> and to be clear... WORKING FOR YOUR OWN LAND will stay the same
[12:35] < bogdymol> XtaSia: ok, admins remove the tool boxes, no problem with that... but what are the next changes going to happen after this?
[12:36] < shadowukcs> XtaSia, you're the only good admin. You know that the community loves you, but can you PLEASE tell someone in that godwretches company we call erep labs to release some sort of article/press release or any other form of communication towards the community about what changes we can expect in the near future in regards to the economy module?
[12:37] < @XtaSia> guys, shadowukcs I am amazed how everything turned out to be
[12:37] < bogdymol> you still have not answered my question
[12:37] < @XtaSia> I need to insist on telling you that we are not going to make any other changes, except the toolbox one
[12:38] < bogdymol> ok
[12:38] < bogdymol>
[12:38] < @XtaSia> the Economic module won`t get new skills, managers will still work for their own companies
[12:38] < @XtaSia> we are not going to modify anything else
....[some more bitching]...
[12:41] < shadowukcs> yes, what about the parts and stuff? I have many parts left. Will they be deleted? will there be a compensation for them or will we just be able to use them up? And what is "a few days"? It's rather extremely vague, isn't it?
[12:43] < @XtaSia> few days... it`s actually next week
Summary
-toolboxes will be removed
-you will still be able to work as WAM
-you will still be able to use the toolboxes for another week (so "a few days"= a week)
-no other changes are planned on the economy module for the moment
As you can see, there is nothing to worry about. Keep calm and continue buying gold
until next time
shadowukcs
UPDATE!!!!
It appears there was a small miscommunication. Xtasia's comment referred to the first step of the economic changes. In this first step, only the toolboxes will be removed. Further steps will follow but one of the admins assured me that the other steps will "mostly ease or simplify the work of the General manager" and that they will mostly be "optimisations" in stead of actual changes. She also assured me that NO NEW COMPANIES will be created and most importantly that NO SKILLS will be introduced. WAM will NOT be changed either.
Xtasia also promised that when these further steps will come close or become live, she will give me info about it.
so until we have a clear view of what these new changes are going to be: lower those arms, stop screaming like a girl while running around in the room, keep calm, have a pint!

Remove everything and start from scratch!

Thanks for not panicking and for sharing.
I have 86 toolboxes, which means I can work 430 times with them. I have 13 raw material companies. It takes me 34 days to use them all.
And they're removing it "next week".
I never panicked, luckily everything was explained to me when I came on but thanks for the pint.
I still don't understand...
"as it will no longer be about working lands"
If tehy're only going to remove the toolbox, and nothing else - what do they mean?? How can the removal of toolboxes change anything??
Im calm but
And, as any societies progress, the time has come for a change of focus, as it will no longer be about working lands, but about working in companies and being a Manager.
This is clearly says we have another changes and one of them is no more working as manager
they just want to lowering our income nothing more
if they want to change the game they have to change everything
So they make a slight change, and it's not even an improvement.
tNX
And then we have this part:
"The first step is to remove toolboxes."
That means MORE changes, as this is the first one...
Good someone asked, because that plato seem have worst english level than me! lolaso!
Thanks Shadow and indeed we have only one week to use all our toolbox and nobody want to use them for some small land
no further changes
Admin just dont speak english very well
Ma debilizam...
keep buying gold guys!
keep calm and have some beers
Thank you shadowukcs
we want the insider back!
i'll take it easy
but i'm not buying no gold, hell no
v
see has big boobs? We want pictures
The bad thing is that you have to build ALL of the toolboxes at once.
I want old economic Module.... One company of kind and no WAM....
I demand a server restart! Lest all start from scratch!
Persu Chogo: I would like to see this too. But the only problem I have with that is that it wouldn't be fair towards all the people who've spend so much gold in buying companies. They would need to be properly reimbursed (ea fully paid back, not the 50% value you get from disbanding)
@zoli: use google, damnit
@shadowukcs U LIEZ, U SUXZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111oneoneoneone
Thanks.
The letter changed while sitting in my inbox!
It says now:
"Dear land owners,
First, i would like to congratulate you for the great job you've done on your lands so far, you've worked hard and helped the New World progress.
And, as all societies progress, the time has come for a change of focus, as it will no longer be about working lands, but about working in companies and being a Manager.
The first step is to remove toolboxes. So hurry up, assemble all your existing toolboxes and use them as long as they are still valuable for your land. You have a few days left..
Keep in touch,
Plato"
they removed the "skill" reference.
I mean, that's alright, but my new question is: how often do they change read messages?
Thank you shadowukcs

BULLSHITZ

"The first step is to remove toolboxes."
The first step to removing toolboxes is to remove toolboxes? They are removing orgs too, something else will change.
I'm pretty sure they're gonna bork something else and not just remove toolboxes & orgs
nothing to worry about...keep calm? We are talking about the admin making changes right? That should be enough information for any sane ePerson to prepare for the worst changes and hope for just pointless/stupid ones!

bien,ahora me siento mas calmado
Dam!! and i thought for a second they would actually fix this shity game and its economy...
i guess working in factorys will produce more guns-food (as a bonus, instead of toolboxes).therefore ----> raw mats' price will go up when this happens.
EVERYBODY PANIC!
lpm
Where is that Bathroom?!? I need to go there xD
vote, i love this article,lol
As you can see, there is nothing to worry about. Keep calm and continue buying gold x2
ill miss good ol' toolboxes
"[12:37] < @XtaSia> I need to insist on telling you that we are not going to make any other changes, except the toolbox one"
Bullshit.
Voted. Thanks for this article.
Voted
And what about the not used parts? She didn't answer any question actually (accept that it is for next week). For the rest she clearly lied as the removal of toolboxes is far from the only change.
I am getting tired of constantly being scammed by this stupid game!
I was actually saving up those silly toolboxes till I emmigrated to a country with a high raw bonus. Now I have to spend half of them on the lowest raw companies that exist. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Futher no changes??????
Oh no you have to assemble them all???? So this is a change!!!!!
The same bullshit like they did with the bazookas.
So they are lying they made one change more but there they don't talk about and like A Vegan said what about the parts you can't use??
So you say she is very beautiful and photos of her leaked somewhere ?
Can we see them ? : )
V&S
Thanks for the info!
lol
Plato's changes - public reaction
http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/1948396/1/20
~~~ China Shout ~~~
Why then? What they get with this change? It's just a first step, that was written in Plato's msg...
Shit talking but me believes.
SO WATS THIS PLUTO DOG DOING OVER HERES???

No more changes? Yeah, right, let's read the message:
"it will no longer be about working lands, but about working in companies and being a Manager.
The first step is to remove toolboxes."
I guess that part of text was a typo then :]]]]
My guess is that they will remove raw materials: without raw material toolboxes are useless, without raw materials we will no longer be working "land" - we will be managers of food and weapon factories instead; and of course we will have no cheap income of money (q4 raw companies) :]
anyone who EVER imagined Plato was going to take Work as Manager OUT/OFF, has to be an IDIOT.
nothing else explains that...
further: if Plato dont change anything in Work/Companies/Lands he must have a problem, cause he said he would change.. and HE WILL unless he changed his mind. But this change will probably be a new picture, or changing a name.. from "Land" to "Corporation", or whatever.
>And, as all societies progress, the time has come for a change of focus, as it will no longer be about working lands, but about working in companies and being a Manager.
>The first step is to remove toolboxes.
Note the part: >the first step
I just don't get how Xtasia now says that there won't be any more changes after plato referred to the toolbox thingy as first step...
And all this talk about "oh, there will be change, were changing focus on other sh*t and all that jazz"... I mean, is that it ? No more toolboxes ?
God damnit, this is a minor, almost insignificant change, if you're only going to do this then cut all the suspense
EVERYBODY PANIC! X2 Quick, let's run around like chickens with our heads cut off!
Keep calm & carry on
Thanks for trying to clear that up. I didn't know admins actually communicate with us on IRC. I kinda hope work skill comes back again. All we have to rank up is military, its just not the same.

Kinda a sad state of this game where you have to track down staff and bluntly ask them. These kind of details should have been provided in the initial information or written about either on the defunct forum or in newspaper form.
why not just use the erepublic insider.. forum.. or somethin like that???

dont trust them!
I WANT SKILLS BACK, for gods sake!
I wish they would make it again possible that you die. But wait they made it impossible so it isn't so clear only a few hundred people really play this game. So they can brag how many players they have. Without mentioning ofcourse that only a fraction of them still play...
