Next version of Erepublik
Plato
Dear Citizens,
Next version of Erepublik
The next version of Erepublik will bring many new features requested by Citizens and some very interesting modifications within the gameplay. We will reveal some of them as we approach the launch date, but we will also keep some secrets to make it more interesting. We will constantly keep you updated with the work in progress for this new version. But main goals will be to maximize fun, simplicity / ease of use and performance (including less bugs) without sacrificing depth.
Taking into consideration that building the new version involves almost the entire team, we decided to focus more on the quality of the new version. Meanwhile, on the current version, we will continue to administrate and fix the bugs and work on performance tuning but won’t be making major improvements.
We won't reset the current Erepublik facts when launching V1 so the story continues.
Other issues:
- The military rank is now working and Citizens that fought in battles will now be able to see their progress in the military section on their profile page.
- We gave 3 more invites to Citizens who had no invitations left. Another set of invites will be given next week for all Citizens (as long as performance is ok)
- This week 1000 more invites were sent to people from the waiting list;
- There was a problem with the database that affected the private messages system, but now everything should be OK.
- Today we uploaded a lot of bug fixes and until the end of next week we should resolve most major bugs.
Thanks from the Erepublik team.

What about the points from military training?
Hope to see new features soon.
Won: 0 Lost: 2 Draw: 0
I blame alexis bonte

Jyles is right. I have over 100 points from previous training (my strength is ~5.72) that are not accounted for in my list of points.
Some things to think about in the V1
- There has not been one week in which eRepublik has been completely without a bug.
- If you plan on making it open, then expect a massive crowd. even though you let in 1000 new citizens, there are still maybe 10,000 left.
- Will countries continue to grow as they have been so far? Are other countries, like Australia, going to be reset?
At the moment I have hundreds of questions, but I realize that you guys are busy beyond belief. Have you thought of employing (in real life) people to help you guys out?
\"But main goals will be to maximize fun, simplicity / ease of use and performance (including less bugs) without sacrificing depth.\" - Best news in this article. My 5 months of eRepublik experience says work on getting rid of those bugs.
As said, the millitary training points is gone...
And the points for my invites...
yeah, i want to see new features too, like being able to judge a corrupt ex president
@Jyles: the military points system will be reviewed next week
Sounds good. Too bad I\'m inactive.
ohh, I just felt in love with this game.
No gold for real money for next version?
Well done!
More invites? Your server will explode! xD
Please do not hesitated to ask us questions, just like Ben Dover did. We will answer these questions in the next article.
@Admin
Are you guys going to implement a Judicial system?
admin, the contract sistem will be mandatory? Because I\'m talking about a contract broken there\'s 2 weeks and nothing was done.
Tks.
Well what about the Sweden vs Sweden, you really can\'t get away with \"Germans get on the Swedish side when conqured\" and that they would attack as Swedes. The most massive battle were Sweden Vs Sweden, 600 won battles in just a hour. Everyone is low on wellness and some people got MINUS 10 in weapons.
Won:4 Lost: 0 Draw: 1
Like that tho\'
You have time for all of this but not for an easy fix on my money problem? It happened months ago and still no responce...
Will the new new world a new world? I mean will we start over and will it be different from the real world?
I don\'t want start all again. Let the story will go on. I want to see next version indpence wars. Also new countries.
Will you be reviewing the rules dealing with SO\'s?
Do you have any plans to change the way gold is gained from invites, eg adding additional requirements before the gold is gained?
tbh I don\'t want to see all achievements vanish as well. However the very concept of recreating RL countries fails, as having large internet community is completely different thing from country strength or political situation. And RL mixing with ingame is spoiling the game quite a bit.
The second thing are bugs that had massive impact on the curent economical and political situation of the new world.
Because of that I think a new World and a new begining is in order. And the \"Indepedence\" module should in fact become the origin of the countries in the New World. This is the only way we will able to write our own history. Completely our own.
So when the game actually comes out all the countries occupied, will still be?
Alot of people arn\'t going to play then 😛
@ admin - I beg you with my hole heart, please introduce a coup d\'état system or atleast think about it! If introduced, it would make the game so much more interesting and the filthy capitalist regime in Sweden could be crushed.
Best Regards, your comrade Mombassa
For all the bugs Erepublik has had i have enjoyed it, i think people have been a much larger frustration then the servers, i have noticed they[the servers] are running amazingly faster and better than they have been previously. i anxiously await the next improvements, and i\'m glad for the invites i have more people i\'m trying to get to join.
When can we expect V1? i know its probably hard to get an estimate out, but a rough estimate would be greatly appreciated. Are any major changes coming to the work and market aspect of the game? The economy of this game makes it infinitely more interesting than other games, i would love to see that expanded or fleshed out in any way.
My only suggestion/question (and u may have thought of this) is that there is someone to differentiate products in a market, as companies grow and nations grow, a way to choose products besides price has to be established. having 6 major food suppliers in the US market has saturated it, and i believe thats only constituting 4 Domestic and 2 Foreign. Hopefully when thousands of more players join the game, we will need more than 6 companies.
Thank you for everything, and keep up the awesome work guys 🙂

will there be the possibilty to donate something else besides gifts, money and gold? for exemple food. or to drop it from your inventory...
will there be the possibility to make economic agreements (for taxes reduction) between a country and a company?
I have to be honest, I\'d really like you to remove the majority of the bugs before adding new content (which itself will most likely add more bugs). Getting rid of the sheer irritation at getting some of the particularly annoying ones far outweighs the potential enjoyment in your additions. Some examples of ones that I\'ve come across:
- Randomly not eating food, despite having plenty in my inventory
- Not having any invitations since the day I joined until the recent invitation boost
- Having my \'working presence\' go down to 0
And some suggestions:
- If you have 0 items of one type in your inventory, there should be nothing displayed for that section - rather than accumulating a lot of blocks that say I have nothing of that item every time I stop using them. I currently have rather pointless information on my profile telling me how I have no American dollars, no Q1 food, no Q2 food, no Q3 food... etc. etc.
- The ability to sell items personally (e-ebay?) on an individual\'s goods market. It seems quite a waste to have (for example) Q1 food if I am only going to eat Q4 food for a very long time, or having a Q2 house simply vanish when purchasing a Q3 one (and for the same price had I not had a Q2 house)
- An easier method of browsing newspaper articles in groups
- A more advanced search feature
And also, perhaps a way to balance the game so that a country\'s dominance isn\'t decided by sheer population alone?
Anyway, keep up the good work.
I hope you release the v1 soon. I cannot wait long time!
Thanks for your hard work.
Great work!
You really should reset original countries at least, or you screw a lot of people over from joining up.
waw neo you\'re still alive?
btw military point next week? yay !
For the new citizen in the Lost Countries, you should make a message such as:
\"Your country is currently lost in previous war against country X. Win them back by building resistance army! Or join with the country X.\"
I\'d expect to see the new version around August. Don\'t want to be a pessimist, but seeing as how war took relatively longer than expected...
@admin
Yeap...my military training day point will be fixed.... Horray...
When you register and try to choose an occupied contry (for example denmark) it just does not exist in the list. You should add some kind of message to the new players that their country is occupied.
I\'m not answered though I\'ve sent so many about the bugs and suggestions, so I\'m writing here hoping to get the attention:
1-) Military points bug (working on it)
2-) Moving ticket bug (the 2nd quality tickets are cursed somehow) should be fixed.
3-) Tossing items, sending items such as food, moving ticket, gift to other people should be implemented.
4-) The gold given as the invited player has joined the game should be given after the new citizen proves that s/he is active for a period of time.
5-) It must be restricted to become a citizen of the country that is moved to. This is a serious issue that causes major problems indeed. If you are implementing the Fight for Freedom module, then this issue will disturb the majority. This makes it so easy to burn down a country with a group of citizens organised all over the world. When moving to another country, the traveller must remain its ciitizenship of the country he moved from. An amount of time should be passed to get the new citizenship, or something more clever should be offered.
6-)People that are responsible for maintaining the order in the forum must be more objective. Instead of temporary or permanent bans, they must just try a number of warnings.
So far, that\'s what I\'ve remembered.
When V1 comes out will you reset the countries?
More importantly will you reset everyone (wipe). If so why buy gold until V1 is released if you are wiping? Will there be a refund?
\"We won\'t reset the current Erepublik facts when launching V1 so the story continues.\" If you read the article, you would have known.
I\'d like to hear more about your plans with the media...I\'ve heard about plans to charge for papers and a \"major rehaul\".
Are writers gonna be able to select a 0 amount if they don\'t want to charge?
Or will it be set by the government.
And what about hiring writers, making it like a business?
And what\'s this \"major overhaul\"?
Will new countries be added with V1? If not, when?
admin has 4% wellness pls someone send him a gift 😃
Nice
Thank you!!!
admin can you fix the bug of my company of housing?
First of all, I would like to thank everyone who has involved in this project. My days are passing much more better than previous ones...
Also I hava a suggestion; I want admin to put an option to the article section. If it\'s too important (about wars, economical or political decisions etc.) we can choose Important option. If it would\'nt so important just we are writing for fun we can choose fun option...
Are we going to stay with our skills, wellness and money/gold?
Yay Admin! 🙂
Great cant wait
@ admin: great!!!!
@Joimzhando: you again? is unbelievable, you want the next version? ... for steal more, yes or no?
