Changes in the Economy Module

732 Day 1,018, 09:46


Dear citizens,

After a long analysis we've decided that adding new features won't solve necessarily old problems. Furthermore, in order to improve the experience of new citizens, decrease the unemployment rate and increase the work presence, we'll make some "minor" adjustments to the Economy module. These improvements will basically try to make the experience in eRepublik more linear and rewarding.

First thing on our list: eliminating Professions and their levels. This change will make it easier for any citizen to find a job and to improve his living. More than that, from now on it will be easier for citizens to move, at any time, to an industry where the request for labor is higher. In the process of moving to one single Work skill, all the skills in different professions will be summed up in that single Work skill.

The second thing we will do very soon is to improve the productivity formula. Right now, new citizens find a job very hard because their productivity is close to zero compared to more experienced citizens.

There will be 2 adjustments here:
1. New players will produce more; thus hiring them will be more profitable.
2. Every increase in Work skill will bring less abrupt productivity changes; thus almost every citizen will see slight changes in their daily work results.

These 2 small projects are following the Food Consumption Project and they are part of a bigger plan to improve the eRepublik economy. Stay tuned for more news in the following Insiders.

Don't hesitate to share your feedback regarding the economy module by leaving a comment to this article.

Military

As you may know, last night we had some serious issues regarding military module. We tried to solve it while keeping it live but, unfortunately, there were high risk involved. So we decided to put down the military module and work on it immediately. This way, the final results were not influenced too much due to battles "freeze". Happily, after 12 hours of hard work, we have managed to get the battles back on their track.

We want to apologize for any inconvenience this issue may have caused and we want to concentrate our attention in preventing these types of situations.


Regards,
Your eRepublik team

I do not like getting rid of preofessions and their levels. I thought professions were a good addition. It put planning into the economic module. In order to make good money you have to plan for your career, just like IRL. What is the point of studying going to be if there are no professions and what about those of us who planned ahead and studied and worked hard to get so good at our chosen professions? All the currency spent on higher quality food to make up for the extra wellness and happiness cost of extra study? What about that? I do not think the professions should go.

What Josie said. I think the biggest problem we all had with the economy module was
(1) The job professions were too diverse. Why not just reduce the "ranks" to a smaller leveling system
(2) The problems with the production calculations.

I think we all like the concept of Rising it's just that it's been assicated with mass bugs and problems with adaption.

Great. Aha now its not a bug, and you don`t need to fix it and of course you don`t need to roll back the battles. In future you just freeze every battle and give it to attacker if it is from EDEN, or to defender - if it is from EDEN.

Changing proffesions WILL not help. It will DESTROY some businesses and you're only looking for new players! the economic module WILL kill old players, this time you've gone too far! This time you're gonna kill the eWorld. You ALL should be brought out to the wall and SHOT! A simple skill migration would be great. You're trying too hard. and I am feeling very doubtful about my future in the game.

Furthermore I want to complain about the disadvantage of Rifle men. We did'nt know the consequences when we choose our skill.

V! When will you improve weapon formula? The strongest weapon is Q5 tank and it costs half the price of Q5 helicopter. When I fight with Q5 heli, even do I have advantage over tank my chance to defeat player with Q5 tank is next to nothing.

stupid at all!! you should change all the algorithms not proffessions, there's just not adequate equalization between production... for example there should be more durability of houses not health bonus as you did, i think there's a big fail in harvest sector, there's just too big productivity, and what more, there should be possible to sell for example grain for 0.019PLN it could make economy more dynamic.
