Alright eAustralians… You’ve heard Rusty banging on enough about this article. And a program like this has been a long long time coming.


Are you tired of seeing this:



or this?



and never having enough gold for what you want? Are you an eAustralian citizen? Well, read on!




The eAustralian government will give you an interest free loan of gold to get your training grounds upgraded. Or to afford a training contract. Yep, you read that right. The government will let you borrow gold with an interest free loan.


How does it work? There are some fundamental steps to follow. We will not give out gold to anyone who walks in off the street, after all. That’s throwing your tax money away, and we’re responsible people.


First, you need to find a sponsor. This needs to be an eAustralian citizen. They should be someone who is known to the government. Send them a PM and talk about it, because they are going to be doing you a big favour.


Send a message to the DoEE org (the same org that has published the paper). If you can’t work out how to do that, please please please ask in the comments. It’s simply enough, but not as straightforward as you might hope.


Whoever is running this org (currently me!) will respond. We will ask some questions about you. This will include your citizen details, a screenshot upload of your current training grounds, who your sponsor is and other boring and responsible questions.


We will speak to your sponsor, and find out a limit they are prepared to back you for. Note to potential sponsors: you may be asked to provide up to this amount if your friend goes AWOL. Because we are not horrible people in government, you will be allowed to borrow twice what your sponsor will back you for.

A worked example: Ilene Dover is sponsored by Rusty D for a maximum of 100 gold. Ilene could be sent up to 200 gold, but if she disappears before paying it back, Rusty might have to cover 100 gold of the loan.



How do you get your gold? Well, every game day you need to message this org. You will be forwarded 0.5 gold for each message. Every day. During the 2-day discounted upgrade windows or training contract windows (which normally roll around once a month) you will be sent 10 gold. It’s not possible to accept more than that amount in a day - some sort of game mechanic limitation.


This means that, if you’re active enough and message every single day, you can easily wind up with 30 gold (3 separate special days) plus 14 gold (0.5 gold per day for 28 days) for 44 gold a month. That’s more than enough to get your training grounds lifted out of the gutter, or to cover the worst part of a training contract.


There are some limits though! Once you have enough gold to lift your training grounds to the next level (we know, because you sent us a screenshot) you will be cut off after the next discounted upgrade window. Unless… you send us a screenshot of your shiny new upgraded training ground of course!


What are you waiting for soldiers?! It’s time to start working towards 90 strength every day! Hop to it!!
