eRepublik reaches 200,000 alive citizens

Day 643, 04:33 • Published in • by Plato

Dear citizens,


There is some news around the world that is worth mentioning, like the fact that two months after the burst of the third World War, PEACE's victorious march seems to have reached a halt point: after being wiped out, Canada slowly recovered most of its regions through Resistance Wars; in Europe, Russia didn't succeed in conquering Finland`s Nord Norge region. Neither Hungary nor Serbia succeeded in the attempt of conquering Central Croatia. Greece defeated Turkey several times during this period. Spain has probably deliberately chosen to be wiped out in order to “get rid” of all those MPPs helping France. Now Spain is doing the same thing as Canada, recovering its regions one after another through resistance wars, and is also declaring war against France. After a long time, the USA is the one pushing the “attack” button, trying to recover one of their regions from Portugal.

A series of victories for Eden/Fortis lately, some of them smaller but good for morale, others very important. All these could announce a more stable balancing of power distribution.

But at least for today, we should forget about the wars, battlefields, guns, strategies, marching soldiers, screams and suffering. Today we should celebrate, all of us, like brothers, no matter the nationality! What is there to celebrate? Well, if we look back over the past two to three months and count the improvements added to eRepublik, we could find some reasons, but the true reason for celebration is that eRepublik has reached 200.000 citizens! One fifth of a million alive citizens, no Organization or dead citizens counted here. A big number that is!

Of course, the eRepublik team is very proud of this achievement. This is the result of two years of hard work, passion and dedication to this project, which aims to offer you, our citizens, a fun time and lots of new friendships. We could not have turned eRepublik into such an interesting game without the help of our citizens, whom we thank. Both the “pillars” who are more than 1 and a half years old and can remember eRepublik having only 3-4000 players, as well as the newer citizens who remember the V1 launch of eRepublik having some 30,000 citizens. Since then, eRepublik has grown ever larger, month after month, now reaching over 200,000 citizens. What a journey, we would say!

When our dear Plato (the historical one) was born, Athens was at the height of its power, and in those times excluding slaves there were some 190,000 citizens. We have more citizens than Plato had townsmen!

In order to celebrate this day, we are proposing you three contests in the forum, and three on Twitter, with questions about eRepublik. The contest will start today (day 643), in the forum at 04:30, 06 and 08 AM, and on Twitter at 04:30, 06 and 12 AM. To participate on Twitter, you need an account in order to follow eRepublik and see the questions. Also, you should answer this way: “@erepublik your_answer.”

Of course, there will be some winners (for example, the funniest eRepublik related story), and the winners will receive some prizes! Good luck!

Updates:

-our first lucky winners from the Twitter contest are Ryo E , pepsiMIN and alby. More will follow !

Regards,
The eRepublik Team
