This game is dying
creitzell
I've never been much for writing (This is only my fourth or fifth), but I've noticed something.
This game is dying fast. The brilliant playdoh decided to make this game all about fighting. I supposed it worked for a while, but the house of cards is falling down.
Look at my profile. I have a relatively low strength. For the whole time I played this stupid game if I wanted a bh medal I would need to save. (be it bazookas or crack bars) Now I merely click my ff's and often win one. I'm a member of eUSAF and only fight in my DO. That just shows how many have left.
I once was semi active in the meta game. Rl changed that for me, but I have continued to two click and pay attention to what is going on. All I see is a rapidly increasing decline in activity.
I hope it changes, but I do not expect it to. You &^@#&(! up playdoh.

Truth is Truth.
I dare say the problem is actually gold buying, we'll call it a microtransaction. In todays world, most gamers flip out if there's a microtransaction in the game they're playing, especially if it turns a game into P2W. In this game, if you push enough money into it, you can make anything happen. Good idea to do? Probably not, but the fact it could be done is off-putting. I personally don't care because my options for this style of game are pretty limited.
Many games are all about fighting and do fine. That's not really the issue here IMO.
Well said.
I'd also add that when Erepublik was born the F2P market was far less competitive than now. I downloaded a 31gb F2P game recently. Erep simply cannot compete with that. We're now just a handful of legacy users here because of our friendships, and a very specific niche market. What is there to point at and attract new users with?
Well I still think we can kick the dead horse couple of times before we get completely bored and move on.
Enjoying your game free of the influence of me? It's soooo much more fun right?
You were usually more fun than any module. Truth. Even if people disliked you, that was usually done with passion and involvement.
so exciting now with almost every election being won by an enormous, boring margin and nothing interesting happening and the cutoff for being in the top 5 being in the low 100 range... fail
