Type 1
People with lots of cash and they spend cash on the game by buying gold. Is this evil? Why do people point at people like me and say..... bad, bad Tech (insert rich person's name here).
Economics, there are no ads in this game. How does the administrators of the game keep it going if nobody is willing to pay to keep the game going?
Type 2
People that will will not, can not buy gold. I respect these players, I really do. Some people have played the game longer than me and are bitter and I understand this. Just keep in mind two things..... I do and people like me work hard, we play everyday and there is economics of funding this game to consider.
Type 3
People that have used scripts, they damage the credibility of the game they stop both Type 1 and Type 2 people from playing. They should always be reported, and forever banned from the game.
What type of person are you?
If you suspect you are playing for people that cheat, why not think about joining our side?

My two cents I think the admins should of followed two models in funding the game.
Ads for people that do not want to pay.
Subscription that would give you the same content but ad free at a price.
^Agree. I am #2 without the bitterness...
I'm number 2 \o/!!!!
#2 just not bitter.
#2,not bitter, just like being difficult(or honest)
#2 just not bitter x2
Gold buyers do finance this game, and I've got nothing against them - we simply play in different leagues.
However, I wouldn't mind the game being a bit more balanced - even at the cost of seeing a few ads here and there. And not necessarily because I'd like to compete with Gold buyers, but because I'd like to play a game a bit more like the one I was promised when I registere😛 a social-economic-military simulation. Because now it looks more like an inverse ATM. And actually, that is the main reason I am not a Gold buyer. If - say - a hundred euros would buy me (and everyone else) 10% quicker progress for a few months, I might consider supporting the game with that sum. But spilling cash into a bottomless well simply doesn't seem reasonable.
ohai, george
mostly #2, occasionally #1
i actually quit spending because of some mods attitudes towards players that fall into categories #1 and #2
when your own moderation team openly ridicules your player base - there's a problem
i would spend again if i saw real improvement - not just minor tweaks to the game - but improvement in the treatment of legitimate players
I'm #4 Just Awesome
honorably #2.
#1!
#2. While I appreciate those who support the game and our eNation by buying gold, my personal earnings are sufficient to advance all of my goals.
I've bought a pile of gold in this game...usually around three in the morning hammered 😛 -
#1.
I wouldn't mind some advertising though.
honorably #2.
Type 2 here my opinion is RL money is for RL bills
However admins are choosing the goldway of making money...
Well they are doing pretty good on making some serious money that way...
Type 2 here. Though not bitter.
And I really respect those who are type 1 (as you have rightly pointed out the games need support to kep on going) EXCEPT those who spend it to do millions of damage, they are just sick.
Voted and shouted.
I have bought gold. Bronze member.
I have more often NOT bought gold.
I have used scripts that are helpful, yet not cheat.
I am every man.
#2,3
#2
#1. Gold member and proud of it. Also, those of us that drop millions in damage on orders aren't sick. We're insuring wins due to lack of raw numbers. If, due to our smaller population base than in bygone eras, we can't insure them by zergling rush, like we used to, then the damage needs to come from somewhere. It comes from us.
We all do it occasionally, from every branch, avenue, military group or militia. If you see one of us going supertank in an important battle, you should send us a PM thanking us for spending OUR money in order to insure the safety of everyone's eproperty. Just sayin'.

I am type 2 and I am not bitter - I never liked erepublik but, it has rewarded me in countless ways in my professional live, so, for that, I am thankful.
If someone chooses to spend their money on this, no one owes them any thanks. If you are paying to play, then you should be playing because you honestly like the game and you get your money's worth of excitement. If you are playing out of some sense of obligation you are missing the point of gaming. The handful of people who choose to spend substantial sums here do so because it serves them. If you seriously believe that there are more than 50-100 people on the freaking planet who actually care whether this site continues to operate, you're delusional!
Number 1's should be comfortable knowing that if tomorrow, eRep pulled the plug, they have gained appropriate value for their investment.
I can honestly say that my eRep experience has been worth every penny i've paid to play it!
honestly #2 but i have got gold before so #1.8 😃
#1 and #2. #69 works as well. Wry no mention of joining the Avengers?

everyone who says they're not bitter are bitter. they're just in denial. bitter denial. those who say they are bitter are bitter but better... better at bitter.
i am bitter but better and bitter better bitter bitter... bitch.
#2, and not bitter. If you can/want to buy gold, good on you. But I'm not spending RL money on a game I don't think will be around in a year.
Oh, and the 3 RL Serbian players are all type 3. God love'em.
