A bit more fun in the New World
Dear citizens,
We have announced in a previous Insider article that the New World has been running more smoothly lately. However, problems do occur all the time, even if sometimes it doesn't show. It can basically be anything, from a totally unexpected server failure, or a critical software error, to the bathroom lock getting stuck, or losing the ball for our table soccer game.
Needless to say, such issues require swift and immediate action, as any wasted time can lead to very unpleasant consequences. Fortunately, we have set up a detailed crisis plan which ensures that no measure is taken randomly, or under a momentary instinct. Without a lack of modesty, we can say that we have learned to solve unforeseen problems with maximum effectiveness, and that our response time could embarrass even the best disciplined firefighter unit. However, amongst all our well trained team members, there is one, who in some sense, inspires us all. He may not be as calm or as calculated as most of us, but his dedication to solving the most difficult issues is an example to all of us. We cannot disclose his name, but we have realized some drawings that are a close representation of him working on a server that suddenly crashed:
Because we want his efforts to be noticed by all of you, these pictures will be displayed whenever something goes wrong with our technical systems. However, do not worry if something like this happens. There are certainly other people working on the problem as well, and the issue should be solved in no time.
As a final notice, please be aware that some parts of this story may be inaccurate. We hope that you enjoyed reading it and that you will keep having fun in the New World.
Best regards,
The eRepublik Team

nice article, but I have a question to you admins, in the previous article you said the following:
'Next week, on day 468 of the New World, the required corrections will be presented in the "Updates" forum topic. The announced New World borders will be implemented on day 470.'
Could you please announce these updates now because we will have to make decisions after this announcement!
Thank you!
