The New World runs more smoothly

Day 464, 07:29 • Published in • by Plato

Dear citizens,

February has been a good month for the New World. The war module has been restored, and warriors have had little time to rest ever since. Also, our team was inspired by all the warfare in eRepublik and managed to reach the final stage of a local laser tag tournament. Unfortunately, our football team has been on a losing streak the whole month.

Getting back to serious matters: Do you remember the fight for Southern Great Plain? A record of 1100 online users was reached during that battle. Lately, there are consistently one thousand users logged in at the same moment, and no serious down time has been experienced in eRepublik during the entire month. Our team has been working hard on bug fixing and scalability, and the results are starting to show. However, there is little time to celebrate. The population of the New World has increased by more than 50 percent this month, and our efforts to keep eRepublik running smoothly will continue next month.

Tactical Borders

This month we have also reviewed the regional borders in eRepublik. These borders have a great influence on military tactics, and on many occasions, the tactics used in a war proved as important as the strength of the army. Because of our great admiration for wise generals, we had to be sure that the borders are placed correctly, and allow optimal tactic possibilities.

The result of the analysis has showed that a proper connection needs to be implemented between Japan and some original regions of China, and also in the case of the original Indonesian regions that are not properly interconnected. We have also detected missing borders like in the case of "The Northwest", a region of Mexico that has only 4 borders, when it should have 8 neighbors.

Next week, on day 468 of the New World, the required corrections will be presented in the "Updates" forum topic.  The announced New World borders will be implemented on day 470.

Later Edit : We have listed the regions that will be connected on the 470th day of the New World
