Norway Hits the Bottom

Day 2,092, 00:39 • Published in Norway Norway

• by Jochen Lutz

Hello, dear readers!

Today I noticed something pretty frightening. Norway's rank is 70. The number of eRepublik's countries is 70 as well. I suppose we have always been far from the top, but right now we are not far from the bottom, we are not even close to the bottom, indeed we are the bottom.

I realise that our nation has plenty of problems related to players recruitment and newcomers' development. I cannot blame anybody for this fact and I do not wish to. I would only will to express my thoughts, telling me that something should be done urgently. We have many experienced fighters and our daily damage proves our strength, but without any fresh reinforcements we are doomed. Why do not we focus on bringing new players, helping and encouraging them to stay?

I think this must be the main goal of every government in the next few months, until we solve this issue. This is the hardest task, that is why it has not been discussed recently. Let's stop ignoring our desperate need of baby boom campaigns and motivation for the Norwegians to keep playing for Norway! Let's do something!

I would like to hear what you think and what you propose!
Thank you!

Maze Putin Stalfitta Day 2,092, 01:02

Jochen Lutz Day 2,092, 05:16

Why him?

Maze Putin Stalfitta Day 2,092, 06:34

hes cute

vif12vf Day 2,092, 16:10

Hes so mad all the time!

babk Day 2,092, 01:06

No doubts we need babyboom.

imho, a detailed national plan voted by all parties and considered as high priority "weekly activity" by every norwegian government to come in power for at least next 12 mounths would be the key to solve this problem.

Jochen Lutz Day 2,092, 05:18

agreed!

Al Punk Day 2,092, 01:08

Sorry to see that!
It is not just Norway that is suffering. The game (except the last Tournament), gives an big advantage to big countries. They have long lasting NEs to fight which make they players progress faster in experience, benefit from more taxes (consider the new work tax) and have a chance.
Small countries are completely ignored and there is no hope for them. No incentives to fight, no fun...
'Proposed a RW Bonus a few months ago (www.erepublik.com/en/article/admins-we-want-freedom-bonus-suggestions--2280708/1/20) which would have given a slim hope to small countries but Admins although replied they read the suggestion, did nothing for it.

Al Punk Day 2,092, 01:08

v+s by the way

fredrikz Day 2,092, 01:57

They also need to adjust the rw cost. It was 0.5g when they changed to cy as payment. Now its close to 5g. They also should at that you must be in the region the rw is in. That way also the defenders has to move.

Jochen Lutz Day 2,092, 05:20

RW cost should depend on the country's population and strength. There is no point the RWs of every nation to have the same price, since nations are different, and btw the same goes for MPPs!

Totood The Second Day 2,092, 08:27

I think the RW cost is fine as it is, before (with the super low cost) people started RW's just to get the Gold and medal.. Much better this way, where we are not just flooded with RW's--

fredrikz Day 2,092, 22:39

Problem is that it makes it much easier for the big Counties like poland to suppress. Try to look beyond Germark. This game is doing everything it can at to help big countries grow stronger. Its way to easy to hold down contries.

babk Day 2,092, 06:22

Al Punk,
I find your idea perfect and hope that the community could make enough pressure to make it happen but what you say is about what "admin" should do.
Independent from what "admin" should do, we must confront ourselves with the question: what WE can do.

fredrikz Day 2,092, 01:15

Smallest in numbers, but far from smallest in strength and activity.

We just don't do bots 🙂

T Cherub Day 2,092, 01:26

Maybe we should consider bots/multis... seems to have worked good for other eNations. 😛

Che Kukaken Day 2,092, 02:06

I think erep shoul introduce Pet-accounts. All my goldfishes want their own account..

Jochen Lutz Day 2,092, 05:22

It's funny how the administrators tolerate some nations' multies sometimes... But I think Norway would not be one of them...

T Cherub Day 2,092, 06:09

Spot on

Shoi12 Day 2,092, 01:35

meh, we still like you 😛

Che Kukaken Day 2,092, 02:07

Well, on the bright side it can only go up from here😃

MrManiac Day 2,092, 02:37

add eIceland! Then we are only second last 😃

FA LO Day 2,092, 02:57

Are you sure?

Jochen Lutz Day 2,092, 05:16

I lice Iceland, I hope they get added soon, without takingour place on the bottom! : D

G. Admiral Thrawn Day 2,092, 07:06

add Vatican!

fredrikz Day 2,092, 22:40

And a pope medal!!

Skindridge Day 2,092, 13:03

We Are nr 69 now... Singapore is nr 70...

😱

DiPink Pie Day 2,092, 14:37

eFaroe Islands xD

vif12vf Day 2,092, 16:14

they belong to Danmark but is rightfully Norwegian,same about Greenland,British controled Shetland and Orkney,Swedish controled Hjemtland and Herjedalen and Canadian controled New Foundland(Wineland)...and Iceland!

Jochen Lutz Day 2,093, 00:46

That was in the Medieval ages, I enjoy reading our Norse history as well, but I think eRepublik should consider the current statute of those lands.

vif12vf Day 2,093, 10:00

vif12vf Day 2,092, 16:16

I think everyone should try to recruit players or at least share a recrution link!

Justin von Butnariuc Day 2,092, 23:55

eMonaco!!

Joshua Morriseau Day 2,093, 00:07

Well actually it was discussed recently. I invite you to continue the conversation here. http://forum.erepublik.no/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4320

I hope we can come up with something soon!

Jochen Lutz Day 2,093, 00:47

Well, I think that the forum discussions should be moved to he media as well, but anyway, it's good to have the topic set there!

ivan.europe Day 2,093, 02:30

I think that eNorway's community should stay like it is - eNorway isn't big enough to handle over 1000 citizens.

Joshua Morriseau Day 2,093, 21:13

Well not a 1000 new citizens at a time definitely not. However we need a baby boom to survive, we are going to get wiped by Lithuania because we don't have enough money at this moment to sign more MPP's nor do we have the citizens. With more citizens means more tax revenues which means more MPP's. And once we have the gold from the tournament we will be able to supply and handle a baby boom.

Justin von Butnariuc Day 2,093, 03:42

eRepublik was invented by romanians.
Romanians are on the 15th place. Me desgusta.

Justin von Butnariuc Day 2,093, 03:49

P.S. We are on 68 now.
Going to the bottom. High as fuck.

Misho Day 2,093, 03:54

From now on it can only get better. Unless they add Iceland or something and it get a babyboom and put us in 71..

Sky 33 Day 2,093, 05:36

I'm still looking for a volunteer to translate the tutorials that allow Norway to keep its new players. It's always a beginning, but no one has time to devote to the project. If we are last, it may be because no one wants to invest.

fredrikz Day 2,093, 12:34

I think that is one of the big problems. We just want to talk(me included) but we dont want to invest time:/

Che Kukaken Day 2,093, 15:02

Well, if every body translate som of it, it wouldnt be much work for a few players. I can help translate.

Velkator Day 2,093, 07:19

Norway used to be #1 waaay back in the days. Anyone remember that? 🙂
