V1 co-founder message
Dear Citizens,
I just wanted to send this small note before a more in depth insider tomorrow to let you know that we are listening very carefully to all your feedback.
We also want to apologize for the issues that have affected some of you during the transfer of the database from beta to V1. Transferring 35,000 people and their full history and inventory is not easy but we should have done better.
Regarding the fact that the site has been unstable during this first day of the V1 pre-launch, this was due to some setting issues on our new super servers. They are still super we just need to set them up better (we thought we had it covered but we clearly did not), you should have already seen an improvement by now. The site is still quite slow and we are going to continue working on this.
Regarding the bugs, the bad news you know there quite a few more than we would have liked, the good news is that in V1 we can fix them much quicker than in the beta.
Finally regarding new features such as the trivia, battle system etc.. we know they have issues and need some serious improvements and in certain cases in depth modifications. We will be working on this as a matter of priority.
Again the good news on this is that we can make changes much faster with the V1 architecture.
Most of us haven't slept more than a few hours over the past week so that we could get V1 to pre-launch on time, we thank you for the positive feedback regarding some of the changes and we also than you for the negative feedback regarding others, we know that you do it because you care and we will do all we can not to let you down.
Tks to you all
Alexis

The real top 5 countries (visits wise) and I'm moving to the USA
The USA might seem like the 3rd Erepublik superpower, but in fact 12,5% of all visits to Erepublik come from the USA.
Then come::
Spain with 12,1%
Romania with: 11,6%
and Finland (yes Finland!) with 5,45%
Since I moved to Spain when it overtook Sweden (now 5th with 5,41% of the total visits), I felt it was time to move again and check out what is happening in the USA.
Plus San Francisco is my favourite city and I will going there again in November.
Now if someone could just offer me a job, so I can: eat, buy a house, a winchester rifle... you know the drill ;o) read more
