Erepublik Indonesia, 1 Year

Day 368, 05:21 • Published in Indonesia Indonesia • by isnuwardana

It is 22 November, and I think I should write something though. Not in the mood of writing, but I'll try.

22 November 2007
There's an email in my inbox:

"Congratulations!
Following your request, you have been selected to become one of the first citizens in Erepublik beta. As a user on Erepublik.com, you'll have the opportunity to be part of the biggest online historical experiment. You can start here by creating your Erepublik beta account: ....."

I never actually taken interest in an online gaming, not to mention this email looks a bit suspicious.
But that night, perhaps since I'd nothing to do, I just clicked it, and the new world opened up. Looked great when I entered the new realm, I picked Indonesia as my country. And as I familiarised myself with the mechanics of the game, there's a feeling that told me: this will become something great in the future.

As you all know, that was the beginning of Erepublik Indonesia. Yes, we're 2 days late than anyone else. This perhaps make us unique. However this e-nation is becoming something great indeed.

This is the longest game I ever played. But not only that: it's the connection between people. Friendship, rivalry, cooperation, competition, trust, and so much more to understand, even I myself never met these people in person. Perhaps with the newly announced independence of Australia, we can learn to trust. For all the people in Erepublik I know, thank you.

Congratulations to Erepublik
Happy birthday Erepublik Indonesia
We still have more history to be written.

okay, now I've to continue ironing ...
