The True Price of the Maverick Pack
Saiwun
Dearest eWorld,
Well, where to start? After a month of protesting and dismay at Admins newest pack, after 30 odd days of split community and vocal opposition to a division-switching pack, Admin have finally acted!
Yes my friends, they have added the 14,9€ Maverick Pack to our 'free-to-play' eRepublik world.
I would like to bring your attention to one 'little' number: 14,9€. For only 14,9€ a month, people who purchase the Maverick Pack can "Dominate in all divisions".
Many of you do not wish to buy this Pack, quite rightly so, for there are plenty other ways you can spend your hard earned cash.
As I live in the UK, for this section I shall use British statistics:
The hourly minimum wage in the UK is £6.70, approximately 7,73€. (I know most of we will earn a lot more than this, but let's just go with it...) Therefore, on minimum wage, it would take about 2 hours to earn enough money to buy a Maverick Pack.
What could you do with 2 hours?:
-Half an hour a week could be used to volunteer in your local community. How about teaching people to read, or helping in a local children's charity shop?
-Perhaps you could go for a light cycling ride? A 10 M.P.H. pace for two hours can burn upwards of 800 calories.
-Maybe pick up a new book with your extra half hour a week? A bit of self improvement time. I suggest reading 'Diary of a Madman' by Lu Xux, its a great short story to read!
Surely there has to be something else you can spend your money on? Oh wait, there is, in fact, many things.
Lets see: (For these prices, I'm using a well known online site that sounds like "Amazon".)
-Casio wristwatch: 7,82€
-Levi t-shirt: 13,61€
-Apple earphones: 5,30€
-The new Harry Potter ‘book’: 14,99€ (Okay, a little over)
Lets talk about foo
😛
-A "Big Mac" in Spain costs 3.65€. You could buy four for a price of the Maverick Pack.
-You can pick up a couple of bottles of cheap wine of 14€ in many local shops.
What about for your loved ones?
-You can buy your mother some flowers.
-How about getting your girlfriend some chocolates?
-Don't have a girlfriend? Two pints won't set you back more than the price of a Maverick Pack, that's a date right there!
How about charity, giving back to society and helping those around you?
14,9€ a month can:
-Help refugees in Syria
-Tackle homelessness in your local area
-Give food to malnourished children in the developing world
-Fight Cancer and help progress towards a cure.
This is just my 2 cents (you can get a lot of them for 14,9€). Last but not least, for only 14,9€ a month, you can switch division in eRepublik!
BONUS: At the current rate of 225k CC for the Maverick Pack, it would take 9000 endorsements to cover the cost!
Regards,
S.

~Shout!~
don't like it? don't buy it!
Spoken like a true believer in pay-to-win
yep... I'm a diamond
Is it really winning though? It is like kids using cheat codes to "win"
don't know what you're talking about 😁)
Congratulations 😛
8997 endorsements to go according to your calculations...
Good article.
P.S Morphine - he never said he is not buying it, he isnt even saying it is bad - just stating what is equal to the 15 Euros
so have I said anything else? 🙂
Well, your comment is a tad awkward, since he never said he doesnt like it in the first place as I stated 🙂
It is just a comment... no regarding anyone in particular. Am I allowed to make such a comment?
Free to play, Pay to enjoy.
OK, here's one Endorse to help cover the cost 🙂
To be honest, I buy the Mav Pack for the energy house (it's either that or Infantry kit), plus the ability to get into whatever epic, since Epics in D iV have gone the way of the Dodo,
Other than that, I have no intention to tiptoe into other divs
lòl?
Well said.
Big true!
but the joy of stelling bh from d2 130k strenght players is pricelless, because they have a whatsup group where they post who goes on what bh
