This time, Plato changes the media publish system.


Dear publishers and future publishers,

Are you tired of searching endlessly for those interesting warfare reports? Sick and tired of seeing the same political announcements as always?

For a better organizations of newspaper publishers and for you, my dear citizen, to find faster articles in your area of interest, starting today, article categories have been added.

Thus, if you have written an article in the last 48 hours, please edit it and choose a category which is relevant for it, so that all citizens can see it!

Yours truly,
Plato
Your eRepublik Governor

The idea sounds good, but..

There're only 6 categories:
×First steps in eRebuglik
*Battle Orders
*Warfare analysis
*Political debates and analysis
*Financial business
*Social interactions and entertainment

Only 6 categories. Players who write topics beyond these categories will find themselves embarrassed. Maybe they can set their articles in Social interactions and entertainment. And certainly their articles will be ignored by readers who're not interested in that category.

Category may mislead readers. And now it is much easier for enemies to spam
or fake Battle orders.

I really miss the top rated system. Get top rated is one of my motives of writing articles. I believe that many others share the same motive. Will I keep writing? I don't know.

This media change may cause the media less and less important in the game. I hope I am wrong.

Last but not least, I think they should at least add one category called 'Headless Chicken Must Die'. 😃
