Investigation Day
Today the admins and the testers focused almost 100% on checking the correctness of the way that the current wars are fought. Besides small details on other battles the main issues appeared when checking the battle for the West Siberia Region.
We checked separately: the gold spent in this war, the possible fakes and the weapons used. Our conclusions are:
- one user is under investigation for using the Gold exploit in March;
- besides finding a big farm of fake babies in Romania that haven't yet reach the fighting age we haven't found any major problems with fake citizens fighting. The damage dealt in active battles by accounts who are permanently banned for being fake accounts is automatically removed.
- we found on the attacking side the proof that a big amount of Q5 weapons was used from the products exploit that appeared last week (and already fixed). The total damage influenced by these weapons, for this battle, was 220.183 units
Following this investigation we immediately banned the entities who used the exploit and temporary banned other organizations for further investigations. The value of the wall will be corrected by adding 220.183 units. As there are still Q5 weapons created artificially in two other countries (not involved in this war), in the next 48 hours we will investigate them and apply the necessary measures so that the people doing this cheats get a strong message that are not wanted in eRepublik.
A really big THANK YOU to the people that helped us during this investigation as they understand that we are still a small team and we need to administrate and develop a big project as eRepublik. We really appreciate all the help and is clear that eRepublik is much better with you.

Maintenance work
Today on the 541 day in the New World a set of improvements will be done to the infrastructure of the datacenter by changing several routers, a process done by our hosting company.
During the 14:00 – 19:00 time of eRepublik some citizens might encounter some loading issues plus a 30 minutes downtime around 17:00 eRepublik time . The loading time was highly improved during the last months due to a constant work of maintenance and the addition of new servers. Also code optimization processes played an important role for these improvements as this was our engineers main focus in the last months.
Thank you for your support,
The eRepublik Team

Oh, admins are doing their jobs. Great!
Interesting. Will stick around some more to watch what happens.

Nice job.
WAIT FOR COLOMBIA.
Wow. nice work. get rid of bug and exploit, and ban all.
But, free our weapons first
"The value of the wall will be corrected by adding 220.183 units"
omg.. can't you fight fair Romania?
Cheats and bugs in Erepublik!? Oh my..!
good job but not enough
1.BANN ALL CHEATERS

3.FIX BUGS
4.CONTINUE BATTLES!!!
OMG -1 USER . Good Job Good Job ...

qulj
"Fasszopó csaló gecik" ahogy egy jól szituált úriember megfogalmazta előttem
bye bye peace wonder weapons
Germany!
Idunno but the timing is tooo damn suspicious for me.... too damn suspicious.
Fair!
and what about the battle of Sardinia..? Spain used ten thousands of fake gold there, and how much damage was added back to the wall!? Zero!
So you found clones in Romania and "on the attacking side the proof that a big amount of Q5 weapons was used from the products exploit that appeared last week"?
Please edit the article and put the name of the "attacking" side.
We all know that name is Indonesia but it would be fair to make that public.
Thank you!
where is the 220 k that was added to the wall ?
You want to say that the wall 12 hours ago was -350 k ?
IS this a bloody joke?? Christ I'm getting bored of waring with the admins and not Romania....
nice...thank you admins...what about the spanish fake golds? Oh I know it was in favour of Romania...
yeeeey
So why didn't admins add 2-300k to the wall in Sardinia then????
This is unheard of... adding to a wall in the middle of a fight, that is just ridiculous... So much for fair play...
they did this for romania and nothing for sardinia? i may consider leaving eRepublik
cool...
patetic...
Actually I wrote an article before your DEEP, ACCURATE, and SUDDEN investigation just for one region: WSR
<a href="http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/respect-romania-respect-the-world-799192/1/20" target="_blank">http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/resp[..]/1/20</a>
Great help for romania citizens ......
GG admins...
Ok then refund gold and weapons and damage spent on getting back sardinia. You can tear down the wall in wsr.
i bought and used 5q5 weapons in WSR and according to this it was useless... until our russian fellows are pressed by US... dont u think such corrigations are not fair? u should fix such issues another way... (
i am fed up with cheaters and tha fake battles................................. ........................................ ....
PROTEST

Server is very, can any1 feel it ? If the server is in Romania, it would explain this, but it's not good in this way
Copilarii. V-ati batut joc de o comunitate care a avut incredere in voi!
Interesting. Anybody remembers the same 'wall correction' in the battle for Sardinia a few weeks ago?
of course, ruin the game...great decision
yet, in sardinia, there was...oh wait nothing added to the wall...
bann the cheaters, but dont ruin the game pls... this is nonsense
ahah I hope that this game will fail soon
ASU
it's unbelievable!!!!!!
Go Peace!
200k you are kidding, that means there were more than 5000 fake guns, I hardly believe that...
"a big amount of Q5 weapons was used from the products exploit that appeared last week (and already fixed)."
In the next sentence: "As there are still Q5 weapons created artificially in two other countries"
So is it fixed now or what?
BUT WHY TODAY? IS THIS COINCIDENCE!???????? I DON'T THINK SO
The biggest CHEATERS are the admins...
To cheat is not fair!
But to correct the cheats in this way is ALSO NOT FAIR!
Ce magarie...
... and again the admins save romania from an epic fail... Thank you guys! If would really be too easy to fight only romania. Fighting against admins is so much more "fun"...
Thank you again dear Admins for ruining the game for a lot of us!
Admins why didnt you corrected it in Sardinia to???????????????????
you help romania again !! thats not rule
If they cheated, punish them. But did you give anythng back to us whan Spain used fake golds?
You are such a hypocrite. Maybe when Romania get WSR in the past, they've used bugged weps and golds too... Anything happened ? No. When Peace attacks, the fist of (in)jusice strikes.
"The total damage influenced by these weapons, for this battle, was 220.183 units"
O RLY!
It took you THREE weeks to investigate tuput. And now, in ONE DAY, you are able to not only investigate but also reverse the effects. And you expect us to take your words for granted.
I don't think so.
"besides finding a big farm of fake babies in Romania that haven't yet reach the fighting age we haven't found any major problems with fake citizens fighting. The damage dealt in active battles by accounts who are permanently banned for being fake accounts is automatically removed"
Ha. Ha. Ha.
MY ACCCOUNT IS THE ONE BANNED!!!!!
MUAHAHHAAHAH
SEACH FOR "BUNALY"
lol
you got to be kidding me...
btw. can you pause the wars since i am going to be 3 days away from the game AGAIN!!!
every single time there are large wars i never get to fight
Start with banning Han Solo. We all know he started RW's when he was president of pakistan. Admins didnt do anything about it. Han Solo abused the DST bug as well, admins didnt do anything about it. Now romania is losing, they add 220 K on a wall. At least tell us were those Q5 weapons came from etc.
Ban Han Solo,
Ban Admins, for not playing fair!!
this is nonsense. the admins were not so quick investigating the bug and consequences at Sardinia. also the day bug is still in place, romanian troops been seen using it in these very days. none of them were (temporary) banned. none of the damage they have inflicted (for cheap) is being compensated.
you must stop being unfair. we only want equality.
This kind of correction didnt happen in Sardinia...
puki lah
amazing, never saw so quick investigation in my all erep time, and i never saw this add/remove damage, not even against spanish and romania cheaters( "snakes") why admins?
KONTOOOOLLLLL
first!!!
So, we were right.
Voi faceti imsto de noi. Ati gasit un user care e sub investigatie ... si arme folosite in wsr de 200k damage? Atat? )))))
Mandru inca o data ca sunt roman.
Sa ne spuneti si noua cand terminat ancheta cu userul ala si care ii e pedeapsa )
hah what a joke. u waited to see if romania is going to be loosing....
Now we all know who the cheaters are.
This sucks!
ce frectie
Ban Admins. They are using exploits to add damage 220k at a time.
ban them all
GOD ( admin ) whith romania
yes they can )
lol, of cause ONLY eIndo cheated, eRom would never do such a thing .
SHAME ON YOU EINDO, EROM WAS WAY SMARTER IN TERMS OF CHEATING
bann all chater romanian!!!!!!!!!!!
No comment...
I missing this investigation at Sardinia, or when there was no open battle with Polland only Germany when Hungary attacked Croatia (and lose the effect of surprise).
I would love bug free erepublik, but these Atlantis favored instant fixes stinks a bit.
Wow impressive responsiveness! Now let's see how quickly you will be able to investigate the day change bug on BOTH sides of the WSR battle. Hurry up, we must make this clear.
LOL
wow what a coincidence they just find out about the fakies in the last 4 hours of the most important battle.... and nto one fake account or one fake gold on the other side lolllll plz say you're joking after this descision you're going to loose about 2 000 players
+200 000 unit? Are you nuts, admins? This is not fair! First of all, how do you know, that it was 220.183 units? You counted one unit to another? Or this was only a speculation? This is not the good solution, because it gives a country way too much advance. This is not fair for the rest of the eWorld. Stop this insanity.
@Those who talk about Sardinia >>> There were cheaters in BOTH sides, and you all know it perfectly. Less hypocrisy, more fair play.
I don't agree the way admins decided how to solve this crisis. Like webstartm said up there:
1.BANN ALL CHEATERS
2.STOP BATTLES
3.FIX BUGS
4.CONTINUE BATTLES!!!
mmm... 200.000 damage... one man . Isn't a little bit too much for 1 men, in 1 battle ? Or it's about 1 man that make fake gold and Q5 weapons and give them to others? And... the others... why they aren't ban ?
Why not 2 million damages?
No, MrMonkey, do not stop all battles. Only those, where admins find cheaters fighting.
Why you did not corrected the wars where fake gold was used?
Only Romania deserves this kind of special protection?
And now in romania there are no cheaters of course...
Pesimo lo de corregir el muro, como el 90% de las decisiones que toman
Han Solo's bug cheats are OK. Daychance bug cheats are OK. Spanish-Romanian gold bug cheat? Ban 1 person for, and it is OK.
Indonesian cheat? Let ruin the full attack. Checked
SHAME ON YOU!
”Why didn´t you fix this, why didn´t you fix that, buuuhuu”. Bah, isn´t it good they actually did fix something?
How you will explain that you can compensate the effect of the fake weapons but you could not compensate the fake golds which the romainans earn.
This whole onesidednes from the game administration is a shame! I'm really upset by this. I think Im stopping this game. By!
hahaha yeah! In your face cheaters!
ADMINS you ruined the game...
Romanian companies banned to investigation too?
aha, and I'm from outerspace -.-
I´ll have to say, it´s ok to punish buggers and such, but why don´t you just investigate things before they happen? a couple of days ago an app was launched and it was really easy to see stocks of any kind...what a surprise, there were lots of companies with huge weapon stocks...and it would be logical that you had that info before the release of all those feeds from the api...
so why can´t you just do a simple select in your db and order by stock to check things? the same with gold...come on...
they deleted my comment
still quitting the game after my term is up
