As you may have read the new update means that
1. The count will remain online during the whole process

2. We will be able to see changes made by the admins once the voting has stopped and the verification has begun.

Are we spending to much on eRepublik?
Currently we have several stashes:
Combat /War Stash/Assault Pack : Monthly or sometimes as a top up - 9.9 euro(optional)
Infantry Kit: No exp gained - Div 4 exp gained / +600 energy building for 30 days.(optional for division 4/not optional for division 1 2) -14.99euro
Tycoon Pack: 20 gold + 20% production for7 days + 150 work tickets(optional) - 9.99 euro
power Pack - +20 energy regenaration for a month - not optional due to slowness of game other wise - 9.99 euro
Blitzkrieg Pack- +2000 energy building for 31 days(not optional for factory owners) 14.99
Daily Gold kit - 1 gold per day/30 days at 3 euro
3 gold per day/30 days at 9.9 euro
So offers is in full
1.Combat/ War Stash /Assault PacK - 9.99
2.top up - 9.99
3.infantry kit - 14.99
4.tycoon pack - 9.99
5.power pack - 9.99
6.blitzkrieg pack - 14.99
7. Both daily packs- 12
total 81.94 euro a month
In my opinion a pro versus free account must be offered at a fraction of that total.
Lets split it:
Prime Packs would be :infantry , blitzkrieg and power pack. Others I will designate as normal.
1. Free - choice of 1 Normal stash
2. Base 1 - 10 Euro -Choice of 1 Prime Stash + 1 Normal Stash
3. Base 2 - 15 Euro - Choice of 1 prime + 2 normal Stashes
4. Base 3 - 20 euro - Choice of 2 Prime + 1 normal stash.
5. Base 4 - 25 euro - Any 4 Stashes
6. Base 5 - 30 euro - Any 5 stashes
7. Base 6 - 35 euro - Any 6 stashes
8. Base 7 - 40 Euro - Any 7 Stashes aka Full Stashes for the month
Although it seems one loses money this system would introduce free players to 1 stash a month and contribute to them staying. Also bring a more regular total to eRep. And I think most players anyway spend near the top amount anyway.

Don Croata aka MUFC99 etc has been in control of eIreland for a long time. No one seems to mind. (Vote buying, persecution, multis)
Feel free to try a new game:

lol you cant advertise outside games. but your about the third person that promoted this game. atm i still am playing elvenar and occasionally forge of empires none is that great on my cellphone i am playing beach boom , harvest swap and i think its called ace tennis. at some point in an online game one decides spending money is a acceptable.
i am not a big fan of free games anyway their never really free are they ? take poker u can play with little money a lot of tourneys currently im on a 100 sit and go stretch with a 10 euro deposit i left there last time i player there before December. reached at one point 35 dollar. i could possibly one day win a big tourney for more than the usual 250 dollar i get. probably not due to time constraints. but money games is the best.
Paying for a game is optional and I don't see a problem with it, is like when I pay for a PC games like CK2 or EU4,, or when I made little bets with my friends.
It's OK to do it but not go to the extremes too.
stats say i played 4571 sit and go's but they have algorithms that affect your winnings.
atm, this eRev game is simply eRep frontend with custom backend and therefore violating IP.
you mean it stole the concept of erep? that is my problem with software these days . its like i wrote a book and you take it to the copy machine and copy it and glue your name over mine. i dont have free time for such people perhaps if i where paid i would join them.
No, they literally using frontend code of them, a concept isn't something to be stolen in that fashion, you can't say someone not to do a game like this.
I am not against spending money for a game, but against spending money for this game. I can't imagine what return you get from having wars for the sake of having wars. Is there any glory left in winning?
isnt it a hobby? how much money do you spend on your other hobbies. does the money u spend ever get any results or returns?
As I said, I have no problem with spending money on something you enjoy and/or consider as hobby. Problem is I don't manage to convince myself that someone can find something to enjoy current situation of game.
Even the very basic motive of achieving something therefore creating a dopamin cycle fails at eRepublik, imo. Because I don't believe no matter how much you invest in this game, there is neglible effect on you especially if you have been through V1. It had taken around 6 months for me to have my first grain company at V1, I don't get same pleasure if someone hands me 10 Q7 factories now.
But that's my view. If you manage to enjoy this game, I respect that privilege.
they did not invent a ePutoutopasture button cause damnit you sound old. 10 q7 factories would take you more than 6 months and would lift your net worth considerably
But it wouldn't make me enjoy these game or having them, sense of achievement is lost in this game.
ur entitled to your opinion i started post v1 but did play it for a bit then and quit.
