Facebook Connect
Dear citizens,
Many of you might have observed a new button in several places, including the home page (when you're not logged in). Despite the fact that it's not a red one, we know that some of you still wondered: “Uuhh, what does this Connect button do?” This is what we are going to explain in this Insider.
The new “Connect” feature is related to Facebook, one of the biggest social networks in the world. A hugely successful one, we might say. We, as a game based upon social interactions, couldn't have missed this great social tool. Our Facebook page has over 23.000 fans but most likely even more of our citizens have a Facebook account. They are the ones who will be interested in this new feature.
Quick question: what does the “Connect” button do?
Quick answer: it synchronizes your eRepublik and Facebook accounts.
Quick question: and how does this help me?
Quick answer: you can invite your Facebook friends into eRepublik (thus earning GOLD) and also let the world know what are you doing in the New World.
If you choose to synchronize your accounts, don't forget to keep your feeds active, as this is a requirement in order to have your Facebook wall automatically updated. The word "automatically" may trigger some fears, but don't worry: your wall will not be spammed! Only the most important events in your e-life are posted there. What are the most important events? Well, being rewarded with a new achievement is surely an example! As well as buying a new house and voting. All of these are pretty rare events, but interesting enough to be announced. Journalists might particularly love this: articles published in eRepublik are also linked on your Facebook wall. Free advertising!
Aside from being proud of your achievements, we said that you can also gain GOLD. Well, this is fast and easy: in addition to sending invitations to your Facebook friends, all eRepublik-related wall updates include your referral link. Any FB user landing for some reason on your page and registering through your referral link might bring you 5 GOLD (by reaching level 6). But maybe an even greater reward would be to have in a morning this message on your wall: “I got elected President of x Country!”; or to be honoured as the battle hero of a truly epic battle. Admit it, this would make you so proud! Then what are you waiting for? Synchronize your accounts!
We must say that right now we have only three achievements out of the existing eight implemented in the application: hard-worker, super-soldier, and country president. In the following period (a short one) we will add the rest of them.
At the end of our article, a quick update: we announced some changes for the newly born citizens (starting with 100 wellness) as well for the hospital rule (healing only wellness lost in battles). Those updates will have to wait a little longer in order to make sure that we cover all the indirect implications and issues that might appear. We'll keep you posted about this subject.
Regards,
The eRepublik Team

Admin, I hope you are aware that any messages, containing "eRepublik" on Facebook give a warning that it is blocked content, lol. So why connect to Facebook in the first place at all?

Dear Admin,
Please add Persian language for this site
Admins: How about you focus on providing a reliable, stable product platform before connecting it to outside platforms?

Is it possible to deactivate twitter and facebook connection inside China and Iran? Now the erepublik connection in these countries are extremely slow because the Great Fire Wall is blocking facebook and twitter...

Think of people who don't use fb, this is lame.

Yay, useless updates!
i use and its nice.
This feature's useless to me, I don't want any of my friends to know I play this game.
So you have time to put this crap but you don't have time to listen to the players about removing Lana
GREAT! You guys really care about your users!
/irony
definitely not using this feature, but I can see its merits

Add Republic of Macedonia!
"your wall will not be spammed! "
No. Others' walls will be spammed with erep.
People will first just hate seeing this logo, then blocking it.
another fucken bug !
Eh, not sure I want to spam my Facebook with erepublik stuff... and this new wellness system is going to be tough for recent joiners to the citizen pool, who are now stuck around 40 wellness.
Can you remove the button?, I don't have a FB account, and don't want to... and that button just..., I don't like it, ..., any option to hide it, whatever like that,
what about facebook disconnect button?
wow...
Referral Boom
again, i say, why dont you focus on the module instead of this ****??
No entiendo por qué se empeñan en redactar esto para tontos.
fareboku (=
DO NOT CONNECT EREPUBLIK WANTS TO STEAL OUR SOULS!"#!"#!!!!11
<b>And btw, i am so not going to use this!
Lot of people (like me for example) come here to play and live in some imaginary world because they want to forget about their real problems and relax for a while! And facebook is like a real world thing! And i don't want to mix my real world with this imaginary world!
So remember:
Facebook - Real Life
eRepublik - Virtual Life
Mix them up = stupid!</b>
Facebook schacebook
meh...........
We don't need no stinking fb .
I'M SO HAPPY! LIKE A MAGICAL LAM!
