erepublik has lags
this should not be confused with legs (an example shown in fig.1)
lags will be nasty in all aspects of the game: damage shown on the page isn't updated instantly, you can't comment, vote etc pp...
however in this article i only want to say some stuff about the influence of the lags on the monetary market (MM) because people can lose much money there especially when erepublik lags.
fig.1: so called "legs" most people have two but erepublik doesn't have any.
normal monetary market
the monetary market shows you offered gold and you can buy some gold or sell your gold. normaly when you buy an offer on the MM the offer will then vanish from the market.
monetary market with lags
however if you buy an offer on MM when erepublik lags the offer will still be shown on market for a certain time (=lag time). this is not to be confused with the time erepublik is lagging but it is the time erepublik is updating the stuff. so even if erepublik is lagging a whole hour a (normal) lag will only be for just some seconds up to 3minutes and some more. this means that for the whole hour everything on monetary market will be updated only after 3minutes.
think of the lags like everything done is really done by erepublik but some of the visual stuff doesn't keep up and is lagging behind, still showing old stuff and not showing what really is happening at that moment with things like damage, PMs and also offers on monetary market... [but i am no internets-expert so this may not be 100% accurate -or it may even be totally wrong - but at least on the monetary market it looks like that's what is going on -- looks like fail i know from stuff when java is involved doing what java does: being fail]
i want to describe what will happen on MM because of that:
1. let's say at the moment the lag starts 1gold is sold for 209cc
2. then one guy posts gold for 208cc per gold
most certainly the gold will be bought instantly HOWEVER because of the lag the offer will still be shown on market. so if the lag is 3minutes the offer will still be shown on market for 3minutes after it was bought
3. newbs* will show up on market and see that top offer is at 208cc so they post for 207.8cc
[*newbs = here people doing stupid things on monetary market are meant. these can be newbies but also can be old players doing it wrong.]
this underbidding repeats multiple times
and at the end you will end up at gold being offered for 190cc per gold or even less (see fig.2) and that not because all offers are so low but because all bought offers are still shown. and usually these offers are in fact gone -so i will call them ghostoffers- which you can see when you try to buy them (see fig.3) usually the offers are bought from organisations and others as soon as they are posted - because it is cheap gold. however the offers then are still shown on market but that only because erepublik lags behind. but even when erepublik lags many people think they have to post lower than the offers they see at the top (like usually) to sell their gold. so they post their gold cheaper and cheaper and the MM goes down more and more. other people & organisations buying this gold make a nice profit without anyone just looking at the MM taking notice of that the offers are being bought.
fig.2: MM was "pushed" down from 209,9 to below 200cc per gold
fig.3: ghostoffers you see them but they are not there anymore
so if there is a lag don't think that you have to post your offer on monetary market lower than what is shown on MM - because what you see is not really there anymore. just wait until the offer is gone to sell your gold.
with lags you also will only get the red alert-popup when one of your offers is bought but no message. the message will come after the lag-time or after erepublik runs normaly again. however -like with the red alert popup- you will get your money in the instant your offer is bought.
with this i want to end my remarks. may you have high profits in good times and even higher in bad times!
regards
example:
if erepublik is lagging for a timeframe of 30minutes and each lag has a duration of 4minutes then in these 30minutes
- your money-account is not affected by the lag
- the monetary market page is affected
- the my offers page is affected
so if you buy an offer you will instandly get the money but the offer will still be shown on MM for 4minutes
however if you sell gold and post an offer again the money will instantly be gone from your account but it will take 4minutes for the offer to appear on the MM and in your "my offers"-list

You overestimate amount of newbies and of their's gold. The main reason for reducing exchange rate is that tournament participants need more CC for buying food (which is very expensive for these days, as you know), so they buy CC and sell gold; then remember "supply and demand graph" from microeconomics...
most times the lags don't even last for 20minutes and most offers that are posted so low are below 50gold and not like from people who need supplies 100 and more gold. and it would be kinda stupid even for goldbuyer who has enough reallife money to sell his gold with 10cc loss for each gold
i think it is mostly newbies but as i wrote the term newbs includes the players who act like newbies (=stup.d) on MM and that are newbies and some old guys.
+ i don't mind if people sell their stuff so cheap even though they could just wait some minutes to get a better price. because that is what i do:
i buy their stuff at 190cc and sell it when the lag is gone for 209cc/gold. that way i made easy 26gold (legal) profit yesterday. so keep it coming guys - i am counting on you today too
+ all the time of the lag i have not seen one professional dealer (= organisations) going with the flow and posting low offers because the people dealing on MM know what is happening because the lurk on the MM all day every day. they know that it's just a lag and are in competition to buy all the low posted offers before an other one buys them (which is a bit tricky as the already bought offers don't vanish). and most oldfags know when the MM is normaly at 208cc/gold and then they go on MM and it is at 200cc or even below then something is wrong. MM doesn't go below 200 because starting there countries can print money (for 1g=200cc) and buy gold for less then 200 on market. so most people knowing this know that they shouldn't post offers below 1g:200 & when there are offers then something is wrong
buying currency on monetarymarket at 1cc = 0.005g equals 1gold = 200cc so why whould anyone sell 1gold for 190cc if he could buy with the same 1gold full 200cc? yes the answer is newbs
жаль по немецки не говорю, не понял о чем речь в статье
yeah because i don't speak english i have written it in russian.
in short:
don't post offers on monetary market when erepublik is slow and offers on market get unusually low
Ну вообще текст на английском вроде как)))

Admins manage to make new bugs almost every day and almost from nowhere. Good job!
.
1 make a tournament
2 make it so that everyone can fight more often (= over9000 all day)
3 servers never had... like... everyone literally fighting at the same time
4 servers are overloaded
well what a surprise admins! what a fukk.ng surprise!
Хм, немного не понял, почему всё на английском, включая комментарии)
because i am german and my russian is limited to the phrase "Я не знаю".
lol
А теперь тоже самое но на русском.
well if someone wants to translate my articles and repost it he just needs to ask and post a link to the original in his article
