▒█eRepublik Can't Die█▒

Day 542, 14:52 • Published in USA Pakistan

The past few weeks have been a dark time over all of eRep. The cheats go unstopped (as we know banning offenders doesn't stop it from happening.) Atlantis fell on it's face, and both sides I personally think disgraced themselves by having even one bug influence a battle from either fight.

After the losses of WSR and Podolia, many Romanians vowed to, and have quit the game (wow the game). Again people are saying eRepublik is dead.

However do we not remember January? The Spanish gold bug had just made headlines, accusations of Romania's use of cheats and semi-recent PTO of Russia left many in awe. It was then that we also saw cries of "eRep being dead" Avatars of Nicolae Ceauşescu (harsh Romanian Dictator) were flying all around. Then too, bans were on the rise and the theme of eRep being dead was flying all over the place.

Again people said they were leaving. Again we did see many leave. But eRep did not die. In fact eRep continued to go through one of it's largest population booms. Since then we saw almost the entire Indo v. Romania fight. We saw the US try and flex it's muscles, and continued to see PEACE vs. Atlantis continue.

With that in mind for those who wish to stay, we must push forward. Remember that eRep can't die. Those who have invested as much time in it as those who populate many of these countries won't let it die. Everything goes through dark times, this is just another one of those. We can't let those who have no honor by using bugs drain the morale from all of those playing. We can only bow our heads for those who could finally not take it anymore, and push on. We can only pray that bugs will be fixed. We can only hope those who left change their minds. We can only hope that eRep won't die.

We shall never give up! We shall win! Down with PEACE! woohoo.

I doubt eRep will die. Things change geopolitically all the time. This is no different. If some eRomanians quit the game because things got tough then I'm not going to cry. Hell we've lost every war we've been in and are still going strong. We need to rethink our strategy of playing the game and aproach it differently.

Personally I think it would be very interesting to try and attempt to get all countries their original territories via resistance wars. Once the map is restored we can then watch how it changes again as things flair up.

I look at this not as the death of eRep but as a rebirth in a way.

thebrokenblox: Not Down with PEACE, or Atlantis, but down with bugs from both sides. Up with progress

Romanian's quit the game?

..That's childish.
One collaborative loss and everyone gets heart broken. Pssh.

I would feel disallusioned too if I were a Romanian right now, all that effort and advancing so far in India then suffering a complete reversal. Romanians have invested so much into eRep that the losses of those very important regions is a body blow. Plus there is widespread knowledge of both sides of cheating, so there is no confidence any more of a battle being won legitimately.

I agree Chisholm that eRep won't die though, the constant influx of new players will mean it survives.
