How Can We Make eJapan More Fun?

For lack of any better way to say it, I'm disillusioned. And bored. But mostly disillusioned. When I first came to eJapan, I never expected things to end up like this. Even with the new world in general, I never imagined things would be this quiet. And for the most part, I'm tired. I'm tired of screaming into the void, of being dismissed as diminutive and juvenile. I'm tired of feeling like I'm not a part of anything here.
And I can't be the only one who feels this way.
I was reading an article on the slow decline of eRepublik, and one of the points it brought up that above all, it is community that keeps people in the game and holds us together. And it's absolutely right. If I've learned anything from my time here, it's that it's the people that keep us here. People like HEX, Madame Yang, Sinon (rest in peace) and Sophia Forrester are the reasons I got into this game as much as I did, and it was their passion and love for this country that convinced me to aspire as much as I have.
And while I admit that I am REALLY bad at making friends, and REALLY bad at talking to people, I still really enjoyed them, and I'e wanted to reach out to others here too. I've always have, but it's important now more than anytime before.

What I want to hear from everyone is their input on this. What can we do to make this game more fun, more inclusive, and more satisfying for everyone? I know there are long-term goals like democracy which are always a priority, to make it to those sort of things we need to be together. And I can't stand by any longer watching the people with no voice here being suffocated out of existence.
If nothing else, I would love to start a discussion about how to go about our future, and I'd love to hear from everyone here who reads this on what their opinions, no matter their affiliation. I want nothing more than to make this a happier place to live.

Hi! I don't know if I will help you with this, but I can post my opinion here.
I too am bored by this game. I used to play this several years ago, back in V1. Back than the game was more fun. We, as a community, were more active. We used to gather on Rizon, hit together, laugh together, troll others together, troll ourselves together... Nowdays I don't have time for all that, but I can see that the situation is more or less the same everywhere. No one is having fun as much as we all had back than. The game itself got boring. The gameplay is reduced to training, hitting and working. There is no choice of freedom in that. And there used to be. Today, economy is dead, strategy is semi-existing, journalists don''t have anything to write about. The thing is, I don't know why I'm still here. Some bright moments, but that is it.
The solution, the way I see it, is finding a group of people and setting a mutual goal, and than strive to achieve it. That way you can both make friends, have a goal in this game, something to fight for, and you don't have to worry about the dead economy, simplified military module, or the lack of good articles.
Whatever you decide to do, remember one thing - this is just a game, but it is a part of your life. You yourself decide what to do with your life. Please, choose whatever suits you best. Do not loose your nerves over some trivial things like this game - one day you will finally log out and never return. All you had in this game, all the things you ever achieved with your profile will perish, and you will continue with your life. The only thing that can survive that final log out are friendships you made outside of this game. Think about it.

I completely and totally agree. I've been here since 2009, since the days when you literally attacked a wall, and I agree. SO much has changed, and in a lot of ways, the game just isn't the same anymore. I was with a friend today who was around then too and a couple hundred points away from being a Titan, and even with all of that power, she still thought this game has gone completely downhill.
But I agree. The only future left for the people left here is to work with each other to make their own fun. Not the lack of citizens, not the overreliance on the cash shop and the military module. And I'm definitely going to focus on the people for now on.
Thank you so much for your advice.
https://youtu.be/rKMMCPeiQoc xD eJapan is lost. The sooner you realise that, it's better for you so you wont waste your time xD
Well, there's a reason you're still here, right? 😃
Yep and unforitatnly it doesn't have anything with our comunity, I'm still here becuase I'm anime fan in real life. And the e-country I wish to join is also preaty much in the same situtaion as eJapan, so I'm too lazy for a fresh start xD
the game is far away from fun and that is fact

Newspapper's in Japan ENG/JP and not in serbian or something like that. Sometimes, i think this is SerbiJapan lol.
There's a few of us still left around~
I'm not from eJapan but all countries are suffering from lack of fun. And it's because the game itself is not so much fun anymore, and I'll not repeat what so many had said about this. So, maybe a way of having more fun is to ignore the "numerical" aspects of the game (aka the omnipresent military module and in by extension the remains of political and economic module that are now just satellites of military things) and to focus on more "subjective" aspects, as the community and the media module. In ePortugal, we have lottery tickets, and it is a "gaming" thing without erepublik - and it's "inclusive" - everyone can win, not only the visa players and the D1 with 90k strength as the BHs. Another example is the "best anime character" elections you have in eJapan. These kind of things can add a bit of fun inside the almost-dead game, because they're not bonded by the plato rules.
In other words, players who want fun should stop to care about the game itself - it can't be helped - and rely on the media module as the last source of fun, because here you can create new things beyond the boring reality of erepublik

I see the same problems,have the same problems.
One of the current downsides is definately the split community. I have in the past tried reaching out to the serbs, offered to talk things over and try to understand each other. It's definately an uphill battle. Trolling included, it's really hard to get a response from anyone involved with the serbs, though when some someone does take the time to say something, even El Fat ass can be a reasonable person.
What my point comes down to is simply we need more interaction, even yes, trolling included. The greater death evolves from the silence.
Padre is missing...
true fact, start talking
