In this article I will discuss the falling market prices and whether combat stashes are worthwhile for you. Finally I will explore the idea that not fighting can benefit players/ the nation.
Prices are down from 0.03 CC.
Prices are down from 0.03 CC.
Prices are down from 0.11 / 0.12 CC.
Prices are down from 295 / 300 CC.
Over the last week/ two weeks across the board prices have fallen. This is sadly a trend. Lower prices means lower tax revenues, it means it is hard for people to make returns on investments and it is a sign of a weakening economy module. I would like to see additions to the economy module.
I would like to see admins bring back moving ticket companies, hospital companies and defence system companies. I think they should also add a protein-food to be used while training. Also factories should be set up to build bazooka parts, either 1 company can build 1 part, or maybe multiple different parts. We could even look at increasing industries if there was a sporting module introduced.
Some games have a subscription feature, erepublik has combat stashes and the monthly nature of these packs acts almost as a subscription feature. I think this is good for the game, you can effectively subscribe for one month if you desire or as many months as you wish - the player gets flexibility.
Combat stashes and assault packs cost €9.90 each, however in real money
When you look at what you get, it is good value for money. This is better value for money than even the 50% off, offer. If you are a Gold buyer this is a no-brainer for you. If you are not, have a look at these offers and consider if you think its worth investing cold hard RL money in your future (hopefully) enjoyment of this game.
In the comments section of my last article it was pointed out that "you won't stay under level 70 forever, it is imperative you make the most of your time in the lower divisions". I agree with this sentiment, you should make the most of this time in the lower divisions. Once you get into division 4 you are in a world of super tanks and unbelievable damage. You will not see a BH medal anywhere unless you are a super tank. Division 1,2 and 3 are prized by many nations and the UK was dominating div 1, 2 and 3 consistently in the recent war against France (allies did help).
This information should be promoted so people understand that 'unnecessary' fighting below division 4 should be avoided. I think it is important people fight at times; (some will disagree with me) fighting for the UK, allies in epic battles and to complete the daily order (DO) are all worthwhile. If you want to fight for BH medals or FF medals that is fine but bear in mind your valuable time in the early divisions is being used up.
Some people will argue against this saying the bear minimum of fighting should be done. Whilst there is a point to be made for this, personally I believe it is important for players to fight and keep playing rather than stop playing out of the boredom that can come with not fighting.
In conclusion, make the most of being in the early divisions. Fight as little or as much as you want too, but understand the fact that being in the early divisions is very valuable.
If you are looking at getting started in the writing side of erepublik have a look at my last article. To hear more ideas and suggestions on improving this game subscribe.

😉(pounds) they cost £7.40 each.

allowing people to move location for currency without a moving ticket was a silly idea - no moving ticket you're stuck (like it used to be).
They should allow both. How hard is it to add a second button to move so that you can choose to use cash or a ticket? For that matter, why can I not choose which quality ticket to use? If it's above the minimum, then why do they care? Such a small thing to remove so much unnecessary pain from the interface.
The game automatically uses the smallest necessary moving ticket you have first and then charges you money if need be. Maybe it is because of the change that you don't have to actively move into the region you wish to fight in that I have more moving tickets than I need - ie right now 110 Q5 tickets. It is narratively dumb that is the MPPs are done right, you can fight in the middle of Australia while located in London.
It's a balance between enjoyment and getting the best out of each division. You fight as often as you think it's needed. Some people are happy to very rarely fight (Luke Braferd) whereas others fight when they like (Zaphod).

also, why the hell we need to produce zooks? it only gives 10k dmg/hit which is useless, better to use q7 weapons, unless zooks give 10% dmg more than your q7 weapon hit.
seriously, some people still wasting their money on erep? lol.
the falling prices is plato's fault, with no 10x g BH/CH, no new rewards on weekly challenge, implementation of dictatorship module, bugs, no worthy events, etc, cause so many problems in erep.
and it is true, that, erep is already dead.
Bakooka's are handy if you are looking to get a freedom fighter medal where you need to defeat 25/50/75 opponents or 25 kills for a merc medal flag as they are a one hit kill.
"seriously, some people still wasting their money on erep?"
I guess so. Super tanks/many tanks can't be funding their exploits without it.
"the falling prices is plato's fault, with no 10x g BH/CH, no new rewards on weekly challenge, implementation of dictatorship module, bugs, no worthy events, etc, cause so many problems in erep."
I agree it seems to be design flaws causing problems, but it is so hard to put a finger on one key issue. 🙂
oh I see... I thought zooks are useless junks. 😛

world's population: 88k
when I played erep as a noob back then(2 years ago). the world population were 200k back then. prices were so expensive, I mostly relied on loans and selling goods. the noise of people arguing and trolling each others in the past. ah, such nostalgia
as we know, less people = less buyers(producers are unlikely leaving the game as they invested time, money, and efforts) . it's predictable than the prices will fall down every years. all raw materials will reach 0.01 soon., as well as all products.
I'll keep myself as a keeper until the end of game(erep being dissolved)
We need some sort of competition to stimulate consumption (short term solution). As players are leaving the game our consumption problem is being exacerbated.
Prices falling is simple supply v demand, either limit supply (Eg. through removing work as manager or making it more punitive by doubling energy consumption) or increase demand (eg. Lowering the double energy recovery to 100 points and subsequent ones so people can fight more). Although the latter is my preferred option it would only temporarily boost as in time supply would grow in response. Therefore it is probably a combination of the two, with limits on how many factories you can WAM in.
I've been playing for years and from not buying gold (which I presume people use to get extra energy bars) I've only managed to get to level 51. The game wont be around in a few years so people who join now can feel free to fight as much as they want in my opinion, I doubt they will reach division 4 quickly from fighting, or will they continue to play if we tell them not to fight (which is one of the main parts of the game).
That's true, I know multiple games that I sat and watch end. One game I remember is Warface, I sat until the servers were shut down and all connection was lost forever.
That will happen in this game in around 5 years for a total collapse. 2 years from now for the effects to be very noticeable. 4 years is when 95% of people have died on this game and the remaining will rot away before the 5 year mark. Any other players that play after 5 years from now will be bored to death as no economy or MU activity will occur
