November's elections coming soon

130 Day 714, 07:26 Erepublik
Dear citizens,

We are fast approaching a new Presidential elections day. We have seen many well known, experienced candidates, as well as courageous new-comers. We would like to wish all of them good luck! These elections are particularly important, because this month's winners will be the first that will have to deal with the new Alliances rule. We are confident that new Presidents will carry us all towards a new era of eRepublik. An era in which we move from cold wars to genuine face-to-face wars. For more information about this change you may wish to read the message posted on the forum(It is quite in depth). Some citizens have asked that the new Alliances price rule should also take into account the “age-old-activated MPPs,” which creates inequality among different countries given the increased price. We are working on this, and very soon a decision on the matter will be made public in a future Insider.

Yesterday was a very busy day. After a series of consecutive losses, PEACE decided to launch a massive attack against Croatia as the main target, as well as other countries. Of course, almost immediately Resistance Wars started to pop-up everywhere, and also some regions started to 'dance'- being attacked and retreated from strategic purposes. The countries involved in yesterday's wars were: Serbia, Hungary, Russia, Turkey, Slovenia, UK, Latvia, Croatia, USA, Canada, Finland, Sweden, Greece. And of course, their allies fighting through Alliances. Croatia secured all of it's under siege regions, as did Greece; however Finland lost a few regions.


Maintenance announcement:
On day 716 of the New World, the eRepublik servers will be taken offline starting at 04:00 AM (eRepublik time) for approximately 1 hour, due to a scheduled maintenance.


Regards,
The eRepublik Team

I don't really like these kind of articles, since I beliave that this newspaper should be about you informing us on importing things, like the warmodule, updates etc etc. This "story telling" is done by many others and there's really no point, unless you're giving out statistics in battle damage and such. And if you want some more constructive critisism, I think that you post too few articles with information. Atm we get 2 articles/week, and one of them is really just about battles. So, please more information, especially about the promised new economy!

But, yeah, good work and what not

bambolis Day 714, 07:56

well first of all, its quite obvious that admin likes EDEN more that PEACE. Shouldn't you be neutral?

Second thing is about those updates. Same shit happens with all free MMO games. This update (MPP update) is either to collect more real life money, or to make PEACE weaker. Anyways there is one thing for sure - small countries will fall as soon as their MPP's are over. I would also agree to kre5o, that if you will make this update, it would be best to just restart server to day 1. Why? Well first because many people will leave, also smaller countries would be history. Also you would get rid of inactive people.

So my point is do what you want to do, but do it fairly. I dont think, that you care about 1 or 10 people, but for me, i will leave this game if price of MPP will become 100 gold, because if that happens, there will be no point to play. Its like monopoly - stronger rules, weaker falls.

I would welcome stronger servers, as yesterday at the end of the croatian battle the battlefield was almost inaccessible. You see, that battles are fought in the final 10 minutes, and the system is simply unable to handle the connections.

Oh. My. God.

Before the battles in USA, I asked admins why there's no upkeep for the activated MPPs - the answer was that small countries cannot pay for them and would thus be unfair against big nations. Now you make a 180 degrees turn like this? Ridiculous.

It's large countries that attack, they can pay for their MPPs. Small countries cannot. I find it hilarious you decide on this *NOW*?

And one more thing...It is clear to all, i guess, this game is much more interesting when there are fights. Compare last 2 weeks with yesterday. How many people were involved in it and how much time people spent on eRepublik ( I was almost all the day here watching the course of the battle)? So, idea of any game is to be interested so simple way to do it is to cancel all old CHEAP MPP-s.

Spencer Magee Day 714, 09:43

Please, the only reason you have Serbians and Hungarians coming in here saying they want activated MPP's to go away with the alliances are not renewed is because they attacked countries with lots of MPP's

WE PAID FOR THOSE ALLIANCE, they attacked us and activated them, it is their own damn fault they are open! Stop messing with the game!

 
Spencer Magee

You are say that because you are a Serbian who wants the MPP's against Croatia canceled. It isn't fair, unlike you say. It is your own damn fault for activating them

I have to agree with fewe others here. If you are going to erase all current active MPP's you should follow the same logic with the map and put all the countries inside their original regions.

All the "rule updates" have gave benefit for someone and you have almost ever done anything to compensate that for those countries that loses from them. Why to do so now?

Please make logical decision. Either restart whole map, or dont do anything for history of erepublik. Those who have launched MPP's have took the risk by their own choise. Rules are same for everyone.

I normaly dont complain, but now if you remove activated MPP's it would be seriously unfair for some countries.

@Gabriel Lavanche : they will not remove the MPPs. Most likely, it will cost something to mantain the open ones. Which is logical, why should somebody have MPPs for free just because they were attacked a while back?

Perhaps an expiration date for wars that have not seen an active battle for sometime would be in order. Or add some real, tangible downside in having wars. Right now they are only beneficial.

Of course, it all depends what kind of game you want to build. You know very well that the only thing keeping the game attractive to users are the wars. Politics, economy and article writing don't really keep the masses interested. Especially since all of those are designed to support warfare. You'll end up losing quite a lot of users if you make warfare too expensive for minor countries to take part in. I hope you think carefully where you want the game to head, since one ill turn will result in massive loss of users.

I have one that, i am sure is BPS (Best Possible Solution - from mediation ). Let Admins GIVE A CHANCE for countries to keep current MPP-s but countries have to pay for each MPP difference between 30 and 100 gold, actually 70 gold. No-one can have anything against this. If any has it is just because he is trying to act as man on green market, just to have better starting position in negotiation...

I agree with you. MPPs activated AFTER EI published change in MPP pricing should remain though as everybody knew new price.

Other possible solution would be as Rebelis suggested to choose to pay the difference of 100 - 30 gold for each triggered MPP in order for it to be permanent.
