2008 - Accomplishments this year
The first days of this year were great moments of joy that citizens wanted to mark by offering gifts to one another. Out of the benevolent desire of 10.000 citizens, the gift industry was born. The concept of a “contract” emerged in those days and some visionary citizens from Ireland even thought about making a constitution.
February was the month of visual improvements – many visual tweaks were implemented in eRepublik - the most interesting ones being the country page (with the now famous tabs: Society, Economy, Politics and Military appearing) and the Human Resources page which was also redesigned.
One month later, the term “republic” was defined by the first major improvements for presidents (budget administration, taxes administration and “change citizen fee” page were redesigned, also trade agreements and mutual protection pacts were introduced). It was clear for everyone that the countries of the New World were presidential republics. Also, by the introduction of “Tops” (later known as “Best of” and now known as “Rankings”), it became possible to better compare citizens, companies, newspapers, parties or even countries. A new form of tax was also introduced – the now defunct house tax.
When Caesar replaced Plato in April, citizens knew that the war module would affect the New World's environment. But not everyone thought about conquering the world. Romania and Moldavia decided to make a union through referendum, Cristesco and elena.coman were the first marriage in eRepublik, the first wig party in Spain, the first community meeting took place in Bucharest, the current Contact page appeared and the official Wiki was launched.
Important economic tools like the Inflation system and five decimals in the Monetary Market (known in the past as the “Exchange Market”) were added at the half of this year. Also, citizens were getting more experienced on the battlefield, -Alucard Bloodlust becoming the first general in the New World.
While the majority of citizens were doing a great job sending their enemies to the hospitals, both the new version of the eRepublik Blog and the creation of the History page in the Wiki passed by almost unnoticed five month ago. The addition of Slovenia was cheered and parades were held in celebration of the new country.
On 14th of October, V1 was launched bringing many improvements to the New World and after a few weeks of fine-tuning a real new world baby boom. Citizens could now shout, donate items and get a better sense of their experience level. Finding a job became a lot easier with the help of the “Human Resources” office that replaced the traditional “Post a CV” feature. Useful information also became more accessible once the Wiki was integrated in eRepublik.
Researchers finally put together a map showing where Raw Materials could be found and how productive land-work companies would be in those regions. These raw materials affected the New World on a large scale. Goods of a quality never seen before were now being offered on the new markets. Higher quality houses and hospitals were being produced to offer better support for the citizens. Organizations emerged and fights for resources became as fierce as those of soldiers on the battlefield. As Defense Systems were integrated to help secure important regions, the war module was changed as well.
But with the new version, the improvements did not stop. eRepublik had its one year anniversary and in the same month the members of Congress realized that they were going to be very busy: they were now representatives of their region and had a say in the issuing of national currencies as well as new laws with even the power to impeach the president.
Recently, we have added Croatia and our team members got back from LeWeb with tons of ideas. According to some citizens, the second World War is reshaping the New World map.
As a special present from the eRepublik Team, from now on citizens will have 20 slots available in their inventories by default instead of 10 slots (also the citizens/organizations that have an active extra storage package, the limit of this package will be extended with one month ). Find out more about this present here.

The eRepublik Team.

Next article will be about the plans for the first half of 2009
nice article.
More accomplishments- Heaps of bugs.
keempatxxx
sweet
Longer than average
@Elvroy: if you are talking about the length of the article, well... there were a lots of achievements in the New World this year.
yeah
nice article!
Congrats
when is the next article about what youll are planning for 2009 being released/?
Yeah! Shame debugging the system wasn't one of their accomplishments...
@srachit: by the end of this week
@Big_G: debugging was an accomplishment, as this process was done constantly during this year.
viva eRepublik
So, what will we have for christmas? Last year you gift us +10 wellness
@Bong: what about 10 more inventory slots
"@Elvroy: if you are talking about the length of the article, well... there were a lots of achievements in the New World this year."
I could see that you didn't mention anything about those lovely bugs. Just like everything would've gone well. I get that if you're marketing the product somewhere, but everyone in the game knows that they exist/existed. Why do you have to keep us as such low value? We're not completely stupid. I'd have much more respect towards you if you guys could be straight and honest. Why do you have to hide the truth? It's an achievement to fix those bugs as well
tanx but please pay more attention to emails sent to you... i haven't get any responses...
hmmm i want my gold for hardworker medals that bugs screwed me out of
Damn... Been here a year next month... I'm 1 sad f*ck
The article is 100% possitive and too sweet to be the whole "truth" but it's ok. Really look forward to further improvements.
Keep it up!
Merry Christmas eRepublikans!
The 20 slots are a good decision and a minor improvement to my e-life. Many thanks!
Good job
The war module still could use some work. You should make is so allies of attacking countries can aid the attacking country from home just like defensive allies can when an MPP is activated. Maybe give the congress the ability to propose "sending troops". It would open up all solderers in country A to go fight for country B as they invade country C.
Of course all the PEACE people will disagree with this.
NICE
Keep doing great job.
my inventories still not increased by now.
did all citizen get the extended inventory slot?
did i get it too?
10 more inventory slots will be good for the economy.
Great job guys, keep it up!
good work guys ! happy holiday time for you and families
Gratz! It was a good year
nice article admin
nice one:)
Go on!
Viva republika!
you may receive tons of critics everyday, partly based on concrete problems, but I know you are doing your best and will always try to fix it.
Thanks for your hard work once more, thanks for the 20 slot gift, and a merry christmas with your families
Merry Christmas eRepublik and eRepublikans
It's no surprise that the "features" in modules related to the France War benefit France and its allies. What nationality are the Admins again?
go ireland ye
According to the Wiki:
Attacker is considered the one that has launched military assault against a certain region, NOT the one that has declared war.
Defender is the current owner of the region being under attack.
So why aren't our MPPs activated when the French attack? Do the Admins care about nations other than France in eRep? Sort it out, start being fair to ALL countries, and roll it back like Dish said a week ago!
"Next article will be about the plans for the first half of 2009"
GREAT!
@Cristi: are guys aware of my last message regarding a corruption crime (and also a violation of Rule 4) in eBrazil?
Players: "Bugs... bugs BUUGS FIX THE BUGS!"
Admins: "oh please guys, just look at things we've done right :
Thank you for the update.
voted doang dah ga ngerti
very nice review... waiting for more improvement on 2009
happy bugs for everyone!
great work!
still few bugs, like the streght medal, my 5 golds are still missing
-Finsoldier
@ Desertfalcon & @ Paddyohale :
MPPs will SUPPORT all future OFFENSIVE actions in any region.
!!! ONLY IF they have been first ACTIVATED in DEFENCE of a region where a resistance war is impossible to start !!!
paddyohale more like baaaaaaaaaaaaaww i cant win a war
You should all chck this article and express your opinion:

Congrats on the good things admins, but there is still work to be done (as evidenced by many comments here). The War module is good fun (for what is running a country without being able to go to war), but it needs work. MPP's seem unreasonable to me (in that an attackers MPPs cannot be activated, and if you take territory and secure it, it cannot be defended by MPPs either). Also, there is a really serious case of cheating going on here with the trivia decoder. Something must be done by the admins to discourage this type of behaviour (regardless of nationality). Cheating will put of many people; they will simply leave, or become cheaters themselves just so they can keep up.
Again, congrats on the good work. Keep it up, and we appreciate the effort you have already put in. Happy Xmas
Thanks for the present
Nice
Good Work guys!
great achievement waiting for next year plan
btw, Happy Christmas for everyone

Here are some of the highlights I'd love to see for next year's list:
* Released the long overdue (we took our time to document it well) API so that creative people can put their skills into making 3rd party plug-ins and applications that extend core game play and expand the game.
* Removed the "Top 5" party limit from congressional and presidential elections to encourage diversity.
* Introduced new industries and raw materials.
* More leniency with same-IP connections to allow families participate with the game without fear of being banned.
* Replaced trivia with mini-games. Now when working, training and fighting you will be presented with one of many flash-based short games. How well you do in those games will determine your productivity, strength or force bonus.
Nice, merry christmas to all^^
APIs please, ¿when? ¿when? ¿soon? Versión en castellano por fis...
Gongrats on the 1 year anniversary. Can't wait to see what you guys have planned for 2009.
Vote,. Nice:-)
Mmm what about 10 gold for new year??
20 slots.. Great!
Admin
I think you did it.
Just take a look at the very first video clip that you made
featuring alexis with the knife cutting the cake at that time you were proud to say that you had received 200 requests of invitation now your game is becoming a very tiny but universal game
Congrats
"According to some citizens, the second World War is reshaping the New World map."
I'd say it's revealing how many cracks you have in the war system. Re-plaster please.
so far theres been bugs, unfair MPP systems and lack of prosecutions of cheats, do something about this for the rest of the erepublik users. please?
Merry Christmas!
I hope eRepublik improves more next year.

Oh you better not shout, you better not move
You better watch out I'm telling you dude,
Alucard is gunning you down!"
BA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
A Bloody Christmas to all!
We should get the ability to choose from different government types.
I would still like to see a bugtracker-like system, such as Mantis bugtracker. This way you can see which bugs are already reported and see the status of it.
Btw, the trivia wasn't a accomplishment?
POZDRAV HRVATIMA

Pozdrav.
Goooooooooooooood LUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK...
Your Mission Next, ADMIN?
Pozz
the only thing that keeps me playing this game is: SPAIN FAIL
Yay Ireland got a mention
Implement nothing new until the previous systems are fixed, I beg of you. The last thing this game needs is more features that do not work properly.
Good article Cristi, its easy to forget a lot of the hard work poured into the game and take it all for granted.
The one thing you could do to improve the game though is to ACTUALLY LISTEN TO YOUR PLAYERS.
Voted
looking forward to the next article
by the way the resources distribution was stupid, since countries that in true life have lo of grains, in eLife have almost nothing( and vice-versa).
Also countries with same size have less regions( or bigger countries have less regions them smaller).
but congratulations, the game is becoming good.
Good thing trivia isn't on that list.
Anyway, looking forward to the next article \0/ (especially stuff we haven't heard about yet )
>o why aren't our MPPs activated when the French attack?
Portuguese MPP's didn't activate when Spain attacked Campeche.
1. Thank you for the game
2. Make a list with all issues like:
lies about bugs/exploits, translation, permabans, trivia rights, etc.
Because honestly those little crap make us sad nd you're the one what can solve them.
All comunity will belive most in your hardwork.
