Plato's retirement! (by Carla) [Update 3, Day 979]
UPDATE 3: Day 979, eRepublik time: 02:00
More good news: the engineers have just updated the automatic health and happiness gain process (which runs at the beginning of each eRepublik day). From now on: you will receive both the bonuses from your food and house and the “70 health check” if you fought in the previous day.
The change was set in motion since two hours ago and the team encountered no technical difficulties when this process ran this morning.
UPDATE 2: Day 977, eRepublik time: 07:40
We’ve got some good news! Since Day 975, we have enriched our team with four new Community Officers in order to deal with the high number of tickets that we have received from you in the past two weeks. We would like to share with you the fact that the number of tickets submitted by you has increased with around 100% since v1. This is the main reason why you experience the current delay in receiving an answer.
We want to apologize for the late reply and to assure you that in the next period, everyone will receive a proper answer from us.
Thanks a lot for your understanding and support!
UPDATE 1: Day 976, eRepublik time: 07:39
I’m happy to announce you that the team has just solved an annoying bug regarding citizenship: when you moved to another country, due to some display errors, the citizenship was shown incorrectly (the new country’s citizenship was displayed instead of the accurate one).
Hello everybody!
I`m sure that most of you have noticed me in the past days but I would like to introduce myself: I am Carla, your new Advisor. Before you even think about it - no, I had nothing to do with Plato's retirement! The old man was already on his way out, I suppose. Anyway, my job will be to keep you informed, if you need help along the way. Of course, my top priority will be the new citizens, which have so many things to learn in their first days in the New World.
Today I want to share some gossip with you, some news about bug fixes and also a list of known issues which my colleagues are working on at the moment. What would you like me to start with? Of course ... the gossip! Here you go: I caught some whispers around here that the team is considering the option to change the customization of hospitals, like durability, and so on. Also, it seems that pretty much everybody considers the military bonuses almost useless, so the team is also analyzing the idea of making the bonuses more effective. I am sure they will give you an update on this as soon as they come to a conclusion. You didn't hear this from me, ok?
Oh, before I forget: I discovered a very nice video on the Internet, about the military module. You can give it a try and maybe share it with your friends.
Now, let's have a look at some solved issues. If you don't know what we're talking about, even better, this probably means you didn’t encounter those bugs
1. Search issue. The feature only worked on the homepage but nowhere else. The bug has been solved.
2. Job market bug. This affected some types of companies, mostly in the manufacturing and construction sectors, which were unable to post job offers. This is no longer an issue.
3. Help text in battles. It was impossible to make the help text disappear as the turning off had no effect. The bug was solved.
4. Issue money law bug. Some countries were unable to correctly issue money. Solved.
5. Military help page bug. We discovered some old information on the help page, especially regarding the bonuses, who gets advantage on what terrain against who, and so on. Help page updated.
I also would like to remind you of some two things:
We received some complains that there is a bug with Gold donations. Actually, there is no problem with Gold donations, but you should know that citizens are unable to donate their Gold until they reach a certain level. This was one of the measures implemented by the anti-cheating project.
Also, the Alliance expiration date was reported as bugged. We checked it and found no problem. Actually, it is the timing which is confusing and the source for misunderstandings and maybe sometime we'll be able to work on such minor details too. For now, if an Alliance is about to expire in two days and 23 hours, the system will report that the Alliance will expire in three days. Please keep this in mind.
Last but not least, there are some problems which the team is aware of but have no estimations yet when they will be solved. It could be tomorrow, it could be in one or two weeks time.
1. Avatar bug. We know that you can't change avatars right now. There is something dodgy going on with the server at the moment. We'll fix this as soon as possible.
2. Company migration bug. Some managers sent tickets asking to migrate their companies into tank or helicopters companies, which did not happen yet. We can't estimate when this will be done, but hopefully pretty soon everybody will receive their shiny new companies.
3. Buying buildings bug. Presidents are unable to buy and deploy buildings in any region. This is an important issue and our engineers are working hard to fix it.
The eRepublik team would like to apologize for the 8 hours downtime of the military module on day 974. We have learned a lot from those hours and this will help us in future. Also, for 12 hours, in the same unlucky day 974 the productivity had gone with the wind and employees worked for nothing as no new stocks were created. Well, the productivity will be added back in companies, today, by the end of the day.
In this very Insider we can all see two things: that there are still some issues and that the team is working hard on fixing them. As your Advisor, I would recommend you to refrain yourself from posting articles complaining about every technical issue. I am telling you this not because the team wants to censor your opinions but, like we told you several times now, the team needs to use this time to solve your problems and answer your tickets, not investing it reading and moderate articles and comments. Every hour invested in media means a few tickets solved less. Think about it. This is the best way to go, to construct your feedback in a positive and comprehensible manner. Furthermore, if you have some pertinent questions, feel free to post it as a comment to this Insider.
Thanks for your support,
Carla & eRepublik team

You should not have to run V2 if you were not sure the changes are correct!!!eCroatia was destroyed by you admins, because sustainability hospital was ill-conceived!
Retirement all!
The ladies on erep have suffered a blow with Plato's retirement. Admins want to bring in Carla as a means of interesting the sexually frustrated teen, then that is up to them, however I've used add-ins to block her pictures
Bye Croatia... and... Hello Carla!
Give Plato back! He was much better than you, you horrible woman!
missing plato
>As your Advisor, I would advise you not to complain in media about every technical issue.

Obviously, this is untrue. I know for a fact that the media isn't being modded because of GF day, not because of V2 work. The people who handle the abuse tickets are not the same people who develop the game.
Carla fix this bugs on every step pls...
You tosspot admins. Stop making amatuer shit videos and start working on making a good game
devided by smth and united by fun and devotion, pheonix and eden officialy declares: stop the bullshit!
"As your Advisor, I would advise you not to complain in media about every technical issue. I am telling you this not because the team wants to censor your opinions but, like we told you several times now, the team needs to use this time to solve your problems and answer your tickets"
can't really blame people for it, waiting 2-3 weeks to get a response to ticket is frustrating, specially when it's a bug that interferes with every day play or can potentially harm entire country (placing hospitals and such)
as for Carla & co, I feel like you're insulting our intelligence with putting all these chicks everywhere
The recruitment video looks cool but it's misleading, if one never heard of eRepublik and decided to register based on that, he would expect a 3d RPG style game and be disappointed when he found out otherwise and most likely quit. On other hand, someone who likes a strategy style games would skip and not bother with it, thinking it's a 3d RPG style game. So rather present it for what it is and go for target player base (strategy) instead of posting pretty pictures and animations of something that's not actually part of the game
Fix citizenship bug!
and dont take 10 health for not fighting!
" For the love of your customers, please remove the -10 penalty when someone has already killed your target. It is ridiculous! "
I second this
"how about instead of analyzing the boosters' effect, you focus on making the v1 strength mean something? Cause right know someone who has been playing over 2 years has similar damage to someone 6-months-old. Which makes the whole Lana concept worthless. And total damage? 3 million damage means atm 71% chance of critical hit, 75k dmg equals 70%. Come on. "
+1 to theodeus
+1 st krems
btw what did happen with the Croatian RW ? why did they finish before the 24 hours.
What happens with the hospitals?, why do we have hospitals that last less than 1 hour, why do we have war module active with no hospitals?, thousands of newbies will just leave the game because of that, at least if they are not from some of these countries with no problems with gold to pay boosters for all, even the newbies with 1 2 dmg.
FIX BUGS FIRTS!
Bloody hell admins do you honestly think that we will buy more gold becauase there is supposed 'Atractive' ladies asking for it
I may be missing something completely obvious here, but where is one supposed to encounter this advisor?
Secondly, how about you hire a real player relations manager? Having the devs pretend to be this 'Carla' and publish 'rumors' is just silly. The decision, and consequences, are yours.
" For the love of your customers, please remove the -10 penalty when someone has already killed your target. It is ridiculous! "
agree
My company has not been producing anything for more than two days now, for every 100 units that the workers contribute only 1 instead of 100 units is added to the stock. This started immidiately after I received a message informing me that "a productivity issue was solved".
LOL:)))

"Also, it seems that pretty much everybody considers the military bonuses almost useless, so the team is also analyzing the idea of making the bonuses more effective."
OMG, we don't want more military bonus because it cost too much gold.
well...Plato was a proffesional advisor. Who is "Carla"? She inspires amateurism. Plato had a sense, it related with the customer. your target changed that mutch that everything must be represented by a sexy lady?
Great bring more girls
Bring back Plato! I'm fed up with those females everywhere! Stop assuming, that we are all horny male teenagers, whose pockets will automatically open when they see a girl!
CARLA MURDERED PLATO!
Don't make the military bonuses more effective! You will be hurting those who cannot afford the Gold even more!
the fact that "cute coaches" is an advertised part of the game is simply ridiculous and a symptom of the larger problem
There is no men in this game, only chicks.
And give me back my Slovak citizenship.
make a military module that works on cell phones
Shes ugly
second page...
We're all expecting news about major improvements and they retire Plato , hahaha .
I cant resign from party in eBrasil ! every time when I try to get out from party,showes to me a same message : "You need to withdraw from the party congress list before you can resign this party. ",but I am not a candidate for a congress member,and I am not on candidate list ))))) I wrote this way,becouse I dont know how to made a ticket (( Thanks in advance ))))
v
And what about the glorius phoenix armies?
"please remove the -10 penalty when someone has already killed your target. It is ridiculous!" x3
I Agree!
What about the food + house after 70 bug?
Still not working...
We want Plato!

I love Plato! Where is Plato?
Carla go home! You want also gold like the others girls in the game?
Fail!
Bring War Module from v1 back and remove that joke that is called War Module v2
i miss plato ((
v
I have a feeling V2 was premature...
It's overwhelmed with bugs of all sorts and last but not least, the concepts of a lot of new features are only now being discussed.
Someone should get fired
Plato RIP, Croatia RIP too...
I want Plato back, I have enough problems with real life bitc... women...
This change reflects a new mentality perfectly well.
Socrates was wise.
Carla is a doll.
Sad.
MoredanKantose
ex-President of Russia
Remove -10 penalty for simultaneously attacking the same target. Ridiculous.
i cant find croatia pls fix that bug
When I worked and got a medal for hard worker, I didn't get any money from the company for working.
not plato, you terrible terrible people..
What's with all these supposedly-attractive women advisors? Where are the hunky male advisors for us women?!
bye
Please consider this issue: when you restore our wellness to 70 why don't we get any wellness from house and food?
WE WANT PLATO BACK
FIX NEWSPAPER BUGS
Plato was a soft-spoken and wise helper. He will be missed and fondly remembered.
Carla, welcome! I hope you and I will become close friends.
fuck u!
Yea, more childish pixel candy with an odd dislocated arm
Glad to see Erep is working hard on making this game better
Pssst - forget the stupid packaging, all your major game modules are broken and bug-ridden
LoL, so many comments that you can't find Croatia, it's just because Croatia has been pwned and erased from the map, thanks to Hungary, Serbia and Slovenia. it's not a bug, Croatians were that lame, that they couldn't defend their country, cheers
Plato ):
i didnt get my 3 aid packs today..why..?
Croatia can not into map!! :p
@ "...productivity will be added back in companies, today...":
Thank you...a LOT!(maybe, now I can go back and re-open some of ours)
@ "...very nice video on the Internet..."
OUTSTANDING!
@ "Buying buildings bug": Glad to know you're on top of this...but rather wait a little longer and get 'building attribute issues' solved/included.
@ "...not to complain in media about every technical issue...":
Only "special" 'community' admins should be allowed to even LOOK at our newspapers, forums and comments! You have plenty of your OWN stuff to read! In other words...IGNORE US!(We don't know what we're talking about anyway)
@ Carla:
Show more respect for your elders, pretty lady!
Please fix the bug of the 70 wellness + food and house, instead of having 80+ wellness and a better productivity the next day, now we have only 70 wellness and a useless food/house.
I really liked the new military module but there are two big topic which need improvement, the hospitals and the "net status error"
I haven't seen any hospital in any battle, we really need them. They need more durability, and probably they should be less expensive so the government can buy at least one for region.
Finally, about the raws, the products need too many raws! It's really expensive to produce, and there are not enough harvesters to produce the enormous amount of raws needed by the companies.
noooooooooooooo, Plato :'(
ADMINS PLEASE READ:
- Add more competitivity to the military module, for example, display in the profile the number of win/lost battles of each citizen, so at least we have something to fight for, some goal.
Also re-think the damage formulas, it's tottaly unfair for a player who have spent more than 2 years in this game to do the same damage as someone who has spent one, or increase the damage per level.
Military module is fun, but lacks of competitivity.
Is this basically eRepublik changing it's avatar?
the military bonuses would be very usefull,if they worked in a fight :p This way i see a message that na extra 20 dmg was added,but the healt does not decrease if my first hit is a critical hit
she's ugly, no match for Gina LOL
after reading this, I have to say we are ready to start beta testing of v2!
Carla & co = nashpa.
tell the truth about plato. we know he was killed. the heart falirue wouldn`t have happened otherwise.
Plato ;_;
my pertinent question: PLEASE ANSWER MY DAMN TICKET
Why don't your hire a group of erepublik members to moderate the articles?
Weapons Q1-Q3 are worthless, thanks you for killing the economy.
>"1. Avatar bug. We know that you can't change avatars right now. There is something dodgy going on with the server at the moment. We'll fix this as soon as possible."
Sage.
you told us this was going to be fixed long before now.
Just admit it, you killed Plato.
where is Morocco ?!
once again focusing on the cosmetics while basic functions fail.
Admin Fail.
RIP Plato ((
Bring Plato BAck
I haven't been able to look at my adviser in a couple of months anyway:D
So...ummm....whats up with Skynet and their DDoS'ing nothing to say about that...
syalalalalalalalalalala
