Old World Blues

My own, personal good memories of the eWorld

The eWorld has (d)evolved a lot since I initially joined. Some changes were for the better, but some for the worse. As is human nature, we're all left missing what eRepublik used to be. We've also conveniently forgot about the things we used to complain about!

I hope this list brings back some good memories for you.

Some totally random background music to add to the nostalgia...

-When Plato was Admin, and old Plato was cool
-eRepublik Insider
-The eRepublik Forums, which were mostly used to argue between Macedonia/FYROM and Greece, over which is the legitimate name
-Citizen Orgs
-Fortress London for you eUKers
-Navy Clicks are Better (eUKers)
-Paying gold to increase your work skill, only for it to be replaced by a house...
-The citizen uprising which made Alexis Bonte himself get involved and push for change
-Q5 being the highest
-Making a profit from your companies

-Waiting the entire battle to tank on those last two minutes
-Houses, Hospitals, Defence Systems
-Romper (For good or for bad depending on which side of Croatia you were on)
-Strategy
-Happiness & Wellness
-Fighting just because there's a hospital (I'm sure we were all guilty of it at least once!)

-Government-run national armies
-No MUs, you had to pretend you were in one instead!
-Only having 2 arms and 1 copy of yourself, and therefore not being able to 'Work as Manager' at 130 different companies in under 5 seconds
-That 1 day you couldn't log on eRepublik meaning you couldn't get Hard Worker for 30 more days...

-Dio
-Being limited to one meal a day, not one-thousand
-Incessant bugs which made everybody ragequit at least once
-The whole of Spain glitching itself gold
-eRepublik Ads
-Posting Pr0n on eRepublik Ads
-Individual Currencies
-Moving around the eWorld to collect market licenses at 5G each because you're too cheap to pay full price
-Borders being important...
-"Please Prove You're Human"

-Increased Role-play
-Polandball
-Poland's 80,000 player growth in a week
-Phoenix, ONE, EDEN, ATLANTIS, PEACE
-eUK and eUSA being ALLIES?!?!
-Hungary being perhaps the biggest superpower in 'ancient times'

-V2
-Being Angry at V2
-Missing V2 when Plato Listened

-Overall better engagement, more involvement, better quality and more fun!

What are your best memories of eRepublik?

meh I just miss some people, although I haven't been around all that long.

LanyIsLost Day 2,074, 15:49

The battles were fun to watch when we had the wall instead of a bar like we have now.

Nathan Maximillian Stark Day 2,074, 15:49

Right in the nostalgia... 🙁
I generally miss V1... But mostly the old military module (wall) and old alliances... Back then when strategy was important...

Also, remember the time when becoming a Field Marshal was considered an achievement? Now we're fricking Kratoses... 🙂 And when you could deal more than 500 damage in one hit, you we're considered a tank? Good times, good times...

LanyIsLost Day 2,074, 16:19

yeah, I was so excited to make FM and shortly after that accomplishment we went to something else and I wasn't FM any more. 🙁

Nathan Maximillian Stark Day 2,074, 16:23

Yeah, FM meant something... And then they started adding new ranks... And then the stars * ...

LanyIsLost Day 2,074, 16:32

I had just gotten enough strength to get BH's when they brought in divisions and I was division 4 automatically because of XP and I haven't gotten a BH since then. LOL

Nathan Maximillian Stark Day 2,074, 16:40

Same here... My one (and only 😛) BH is from before the divisions...
So a couple of days ago, I was in a mod for a BH medal! 🙂 I had some bazookas and weapons in the storage, and also got a small bomb and loads of energy bars due to those country missions. So I start fighting, spend everything and get 3.2 million damage. "Nice" I think. And I was in the lead until 5 minutes before the end when a guy suddenly showed up, busted a big bomb and bam! did 5 million damage and a took the BH... -.-

I don't really care about most of this stuff... but I miss the "old" times for: we had a puropuse, a goal to achieve, we were motivated to play and to get involved. Nowdays almost nobody is active, the media is dead, the wars nothing more than a few clicks and things like that... I miss the interaction between players and countries. I hate that nowdays it is chaos in most of the countries...

I only play for two years but even so I still lived some pretty good times in the beginning of my eLife, wich I miss

Nathan Maximillian Stark Day 2,074, 15:57

I agree. Especially about the media. Back then you knew that top 5 articles would be quality. Now it's mostly the Voters club... :/

I had the worlds first Q5 Diamond company, which was stupid because no one had any skill in raw production and my labour force died if they worked at DiaCan Q5..
