V2 Blues
Hugo Lilly
In some ways, the game hasn't changed at all. My two-clicking has turned into three-clicking. Work, Train, Relax. Isn't the game so much more interactive and engaging now that the Happiness stat has been added???
(Don't tell me I should go study at the library.. I have 9 skill and I make minimum wage in eBelgium.)
And yet in, other very important ways, the game has changed from a strategy game to a MIND BOGGLING GRIND THAT MAKES ME WANT TO SPOON MY EYES OUT. It takes hours to buy raws for my company (and for a few days, I did the two State Companies too, as the ex-Minister of State Companies), and donate it using an org. Don't tell me to buy locally either - with the insane price of raws right now, you *have* to find the cheapest deals in the eWorld if you want to stay in business.
Companies now require almost 1000 raws per day. You can buy 20 raws at a time. I feel sorry for anyone who manages more than one company. That's 50 clicks per day, per company. Even for someone with a really efficient macro, this daily chore should take over an hour.
It almost feels like eRepublik is the Buying Raws Game. That is literally ALL I DO.
PS. Hat tip to Mudduck95, who now has to buy raws for 2 State Companies, each one uses 1000+ raws per day. I admire you and I'm giddy with laughter too. Grats to CP Thore, and Mudduck95 his new Minister of State Companies. Grats man, really, grats.

Hugo, don't dig your eyes out! How will you look at the lovely new graphics??? 🙂 Let us hope it will all go better soon.
MaryamQ, could you lend me your spoon? A nice rusty one, please. 😃
LOL you are not alone
How are you coping Stilpo? Are you using a macro? I'm using AutoHotKey which is okay. I can tell the macro to loop, but sometimes my browser doesn't refresh fast enough and then the whole thing just becomes a steaming wreck
If they don't change that, people will stop playing I guess ... I hope admins get that :/
Everything all shut down. Lost a bundle but not as much as some. May restart something but only after a week of price stability which I don't see happening for until next month, maybe.
>>How are you coping Stilpo?
I'm not 😛
I shut my companies down after the first day of V2 (don't worry, they were not in eBelgium). I don't know squat about macros. Gunna let the economy find an equilibrium and let the admins fix the bugs before I get back into management. Either that or I go insane and epic ragequit.
loads of things indeed overlooked, voted for my poor Belgian friend, hope they fix this soon
What raws do you need?
I might be able to get them for you - if you give me a couple of weeks to rebuild my gold 🙂
I'm already supplying the Netherlands with stone, reducing the price from 0.99NLG to 0.3NLG - the other company is in a medium region, there was a very bad monopoly situation there.
Apotygma and I own a food company in NL, so grain
With great regret, I fired everyone today.
