Farewell.

Dear all,

I'm sure many of you noticed I became inactive. And I'm sure this will be my last visit. When you evade logging in and think about how many time you've wasted on this game it's time to quit.

Why? eRepublik is a dying fallacy. A ''real life simulator'' which garnered interest with the promise of ''improvements'' in the future. Improvements which never came, only focussed on commercializing the military module which 90% isn't interested in and made the modules which made eRepublik lose all it's attractiveness. eRepublik will never revive out of their comatose situation. Old players will leave and new players will not stay because the remaining old players are too overpowered and the modules they could possibly achieve something in are irrelevant. Actually, I don't want to spend any more words on that. It's a lost cause.

The only thing that kept me in game is the society of the eNetherlands. One which has increasingly become dull, both due to their citizens and the game itself. When an establishment is all that remains in a country, it's a lost cause as well. Personally, I've achieved nearly everything a citizen possibly could and I would strive to achieve even more if it served a purpose.

I will donate all my belongings to the eDutch Government. People I'd especially like to thank are: Garmr, Odan, Tim Veltkamp, Trannsvaal, Van Spijck, Gen. de La Rey, Weirdstuff, Lancer450, Cody Caine, MaartenW, Daniel Parker, ElGorro, Aries Prime, Weekstrom, Arcanic Mindje, WillemTheConqueror and obviously many many more which I have came into touch with in the last 4,5 years. These are just a few which popped into my head right now.

Goodbye.

Kaczyk Day 2,562, 23:30

Thank you Tonie for playing, even if we get know each other at the end of your game, it was been a pleasure to work together. I hope you will come here sometimes and look whats up here.
Have a better real life

Shawtyl0w Day 2,562, 23:36

Sgame to see u go

odan Day 2,563, 00:09

Darnit it's odan! 😛

Shame to see you stop with the game, but i can understand it, the game has transformed from a simulator of life to a war only game.

Hope you will keep in contact with the community by dropping by on irc once in a while perhaps.

Your quit is enormous lost for our community.

Spir Tus Day 2,563, 07:21

Jammer dat je ermee stopt. Bedankt voor de mogelijkheid om Minister te zijn en voor hetgeen ik geleerd heb in deze periode. Je was een geweldig lid van onze community en een erg goede politicus. Veel succes in RL.

Willem The Conqueror Day 2,563, 07:28

And thank you for the amazing time you gave us! Loved those times in your governments!

I wish you all the best, au revoir mon ami 😉

epix Day 2,563, 08:04

GEN. DE LA REY Day 2,563, 21:40

Ek het bietjie goud oor

Arcanic Mindje Day 2,563, 08:35

Oi you better visit plug dj sometime. 😛

Garmr Day 2,563, 11:13

❤

lancer450 Day 2,563, 13:18

I've been inactive due to university (as I'm sure some have noticed) but I heard that you posted this so I decided to log back in and leave a comment and a vote for you, a very good friend I had the chance to meet on this game.

All the best to you and good luck with RL! 🙂 I'm definitely gonna miss all the hours we spent on IRC and plug dj. 😛

GEN. DE LA REY Day 2,563, 21:42

Welcome back Lancer, while you were gone you almost became president lol.

lancer450 Day 2,564, 00:13

lololol what the heck XD that would have been horrible haha

Trannsvaal Day 2,564, 04:47

"almost"

LeoVinciDa Day 2,563, 13:44

farewell indeed, sad to see you leaving!

M. de Ruyter Day 2,563, 17:25

I just noticed this article, and you're very right, this game is really dying. I've been thinking of stopping myself a lot lately, but then again who would take care of those people that rely on me? And tbh I still haven't found a new game to put my time and effort into, so I guess I'll be around for some more time.

I wish you all the best in RL! Good luck in your endeauvours etc. It's not going to be the same without you. 😛

Alex uut Lindt Day 2,563, 17:40

What my uncle is trying to say (I think) is that he's going to miss you. 😛
And he's right, the game just won't be the same in eNL without you Tonie. Take care, and all the best in rl!

Nomadicracer Day 2,563, 17:44

I agree.. im not sure why i even play as a two clicker any longer..

i joined years ago for the trading/ economic module..

now its all military.. and stupid government forums that are to far removed from the game itself..
i may be right behind you

Cheers M8.. it was a pleasure dealing with you during our short interaction..

Joshua Morriseau Day 2,563, 18:50

Im assuming Im one of the names you forgot to mention 😛

Anyways, I know as of late our relationship was a strained one but I do remember a time when I was one of the very few who had given you a chance again. You proved to be very nice and I will remember you as such. I wish you well in RL.

For old times sake, http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/a-little-more-raw-tonie--2331716/1/20

epix Day 2,564, 04:23

NO... He was talking about me 😛

GEN. DE LA REY Day 2,563, 21:49

I wish you just take my advice and become a three clicker instead of dying. I have a feeling the game is going to make a u-turn soon. Well thanks for all the help in the game and for being my friend. I promise to bring you back from the grave as soon as something exciting happens such as us invading Poland, or the captain returning to E-NL.

I will always remember the fun we had trying to keep Libertas afloat against the odds.

Weekstrom Day 2,563, 22:42

This is sad indeed. We have our differences which did clash a bit sometimes but that's (imo) needed to get better results. All people thinking the same will always mean no progress and things becoming dull as it is for months now. You are one of the players I have difference in opinion with but with whom it is actually possible to discuss matters to a certain extend and by doing so you help me develop.

You'll be missed!
