You can also read this Insider article on our shiny new forum posted here, as there are some advantages to do that.

Dear citizens,

After weeks of hard work we can now proudly present the new eRepublik forum. And by hard work we mean it, because the required amount of customization was tremendous in order to create several bridges between eRepublik and the new forum platform. We were happy to do this work because of just how important the forum is for in-game communication. Not just between you, the citizens, but also between you and the eRepublik team. As you know, the media module is not an official supported channel by the eRepublik team because of the difficulties involved. But we aim to become more responsive and communicate more with you using the forums.

There are tons of new features which will turn communication into a really pleasant activity. Compared to the old forum we now have a greatly improved structure of forums and sub-forums. We have a powerful search function, helping you to find immediately what you're interested in. We have the option to sort threads in various ways as well as a quick button “what's new” which lists the new posts since your last visit. We have cool formatting options and easy video/picture embedding. You can subscribe to favorite threads and easily access new posts. And of course we have quoting capability, quick reply boxes, search for all the posts of a citizen and much more. We invite you to discover the new forum yourself!


Our short-term plan is to bring some small improvements to the forum ( your suggestions would be appreciated) and implement National Forums for each language supported by eRepublik. These National Forums will have a standard structure of forums and sub-forums translated in the respective languages, but a much more own backyard-orientated one, not so general as the main forum. Of course, the content created in the National Forum of X country will be mostly in X language. On the forum Home Page you will be able to jump directly to your National Forum based upon your eRepublik citizenship. Or, you could create a bookmark if you want better access to it.


Things to be considere😛

- your forum account is automatically created (or re-validated) as soon as you reach the forum while logged in eRepublik;
- the forum server is completely independent and this means that you can be in eRepublik with your citizen account and in forum with your Organization account, or switch them all the time without interfering;
- eRepublik main site could be completely off-line, the forum would still work full-speed.

That being said,
Happy "foruming" everybody!
