eBabies Truth or Myth?
TheFallenCastiel
Hello everyone o7
In this article I`ll be talking and analyzing eBabies.
So enjoy, dont forget to vote, subscribe, comment and maybe endorse.
eBabies are new players, who are playing the game less than 6 months(according to every lottery ever), are under level 34 ie are in Division 1. They are cheerful, hungry for growth, improvement and easy gold. That is why they make multiple accounts thinking that they won’t get caught, but they do. The only ones not getting “caught” are the players that pay real cash, but they don`t use it for the gold(because of the real cash payments), they use it to get elected easily in politics. I’m also an eBaby, so I can talk a lot of this thing from personal experience.
When a new player enters the game there is a message from the President of the eCountry welcoming them to the game and to the eCountry, with a tutorial and proposals to which Military Units are most suited for eBabies(at least my eCountry did). Which is great because I joined one of those MUs and started doing the missions. But that MU showed to be full of two-clicks players, and I left.
That is kind of a big problem in this game, the non-political players go into two-clicks mode, and just chase medals. Which shows no contribution from the admins to their regular players, and not making the game more fun or advanced in the last few years. Those older players that are not in two-clicks mode get all the medals including the political ones. Most of the parties in the eWorld have a handful of people they propose for Congress every month, which is bad because new players can’t learn new things about the game. Getting in Congress is an experience every player should have, if they want to. But unfortunately the older players are the ones who always get picked in congress. But I`ll leave that topic for another article.
Let’s get back to eBabies, so when joining the game you are excited because you think you have found a good new game for your free time, but after few days the reality hits you. You won’t be able to do much except go into two-click mode, and here is why.
Stronger players can move divisions, I have seen a player get 8 BH medals in one round, how is that possible? Easy, he/she has the supply to hit waaaay more than that 550+550 energy, and they can jump through divisions thank to some packs they bought.
Every top 5 party you join in the eWorld will promise you a spot in the Congress the next month if you work hard, but when the time comes they may make some excuse why they couldn`t include you this month and will promise the same thing for next month and the circle begins again, on the plus side is that some Parties give you free staff to keep you like q5 weapons, food or maybe a house.
Most of MUs let eBabies join because they are making money for them by working in their companies which is good for the MU weapons they sell. In a galaxy far, far away… there used to be a scheduled daily hits by every MU, nowdays there is no such thing(yes I used to play the game at that time too).
Some players may want to become journalists(like me) but most of the articles in the eWorld right now are focused on lotteries, jokes about some eCounty or eAlliance, there is even one newspaper that posts a pictures of cats and/or dogs every morning(I really like this newspaper).
So, let’s try and answer the following question, are eBabies real or a myth?
I have been playing this game for two weeks, and in the first few days I heard that eBabies are a myth, so I started recording how much new players enter the game everyday. You can check that by clicking Community->My Country->Society, then will be shown the players of your country and the world.
I have taken pictures for the last few days of this list that shows how many new players enter the game and my country every day, lets hope the admins didn’t put fake numbers just to mess with us. (The pictures are mixed not day by day)
So here are the pictures I have taken. There are on average around 550 new players every day. Let’s say that ⅓ of them are multiple account, maybe more. The second ⅓ are players invited from friends to reach at least 10th lvl so they can get closer to their Society Builder medal (which they will never get). And the last ⅓ are players that start the game for first or tenth time. So ⅓ of 550 is around 184, that means that there are 184 new players every day. Of those 184 players ⅔ leave the game after a month, when they find how the game really works. That leaves 61 new players a day. I have talked to quite few of those new players, mainly because we were in the same party, MU or because of the lottery I made few days ago.
Almost all of them considered quitting the game at one time, but they moved to two-click mode and plan to keep playing that way.
The main reason that new players quit the game after few weeks is mainly because they can not make a difference in the game, because the stronger players take over the battlefield(even if they are in two-click mode) by jumping through divisions, the politics in the game are rigged, the must pay-to-win rule that applies to this game(same as every other).
I have few suggestions that will make the game better and more fun, here they are.
-Players to be able to enter only their division on the battlefield, no matter how many packs they have(example, if you account is in division 2 you cannot join division 1 for easy medals).
-The president of the party must propose 50% new candidates every month for congress, and if his party gets elected, also 50% new candidates enter congress(example, the president proposes 10 candidates, 5 of them must be new candidates than the last month, and his party gets 4 congress members, 2 of them must be selected from the new candidates).
-Make challenges divided between the divisions(example one challenge for division 1, another for division 2 and so on.)
-Make the weekly challenge different for the player’s level(example, levels 1 to 20 get more little bombs or energy bars than levels 20 to 30 and so on)
-Make the main challenges different for divisions or levels(example, if the challenge is to make 10 000 kills in a battle, make it for division 1 to be 1 000 kills, for division 2 to be 2 000 kills and so on)
-Give more bonuses to new players to keep them playing, I know this is unfair for older players but they are less likely to quit the game, and those bonuses don’t have to be huge, they can be like 5-10% bigger.
So, according to me eBabies are not a myth but they get overrun by the older players and they quit.
What is your answer to the question? Are eBabies real or are they a myth? What are your suggestions to make the game better?

They are rare, and somehow important like yesterday's news. You can't find many new players that live more than a month.
Sure, the game is hostile, the older players chase after medals and gold. Guess they played it so long, that they dont see any hope for this game.
Anyway join eAustralia if you are bored. We could use some fresh ebaby meat, especially the cheeks. 🙂
Nahh, I like it eSerbia I think I`m one of the few eBabies they treat good, yeah they dont last a month cos they dont see why should the game be player because they dont have high hopes for success

One day i write one big comment about this calculator, so if you want u can read him
***********
This game it is calculator with a few button and button "FIGHT!!!11"
I like watch on this parody on game like simulator of RL.
Not all players is important in battles. Today new player join the game, do all missions and die because there nothing to do, your strenght is small youre unnecessary here.
BUT look on RL, again not all humans is soilders, just part of all society. Another people it is politicks or businessman etc.
BUTX2 in RL you probably not die after "missions" (school university etc) but here die because you cant change ANYTHING.
So best idea it is made this game much closer to RL, with bigger congress, with more laws (custom laws in this game i think bad idea) with more options good economic model ,WITH THREE BRANCHES OF REIGN (Judicial, executive, legislative) and etc. I have a lot of ideas but dont want throw my time in window because admins doesnt care about that.
With this features in game will be more ACTIVE citizens , some guys will come back from eDeath some from 2click
Whats profit to admins? Easy, same mechanic with packs. Some people have money and want be better than another people on battleground and buy packs.
And if this idea was realized some people with money want to became better than another in Politic or business, they probably buy a lot of gold and etc.
Admins must stop look at this game like a cow "we still earn some money I dont care" You must want gain more money! More money from new players!
admins of eRep (former and present) doesnt have economy in school i think "😛"
I like the idea of three branches
especialy judje branch, because now every citizen can do anything what he want but with this branch we finally start controll this noggers)
That would be great for rogue citizens and MUs, and there should be like a "jail" thing and when there a players cant work nor train that day. A CC/Gold fine for breaking a law(example hitting on the wrong side on daily order)
With strong politc and economic module in this calculator would be more people and more competition between players and players must buy more gold So admins just doesnt have economy in school (c)
Either that or they are too lazy to think of new ways to improve the game
money money money money

Nice analyses and some good suggestions. o7
However 50% of the congress list must be new is a bit too much for me. When there are also so much multies, many multies will enter congress. Ne players are useful in congress but they must fight for it too. Being active on the feeds, making articles (like you) and making friends should be enough to deserve a good place on the list for congress.
My party in the eUSA always give some spots on our congress list. Some are really good, some are just bad, but at least we have fresh players joining the debate.
I didnt mean 50% ebabies, I meant 50% of the new candidates(doesnt mater if its a ebaby or egrumpy old players)
There are new players but they are rare.. Most of these new accounts are just multiples and rest are mostly the ones that are starting over and have once (or several times) player eRepublik before.
When it comes to political module, it has been the only area of eRepublik where new players can excel and be on the equal footing with older players.. but it is hard for party presidents to differ the true new players from those multiples.. I have had bad experience several times where opposing parties made multiples and joined my party and tried to go into congres so it is always a gamble letting new players in..
The best way for it is to join a party than work for a while so the people can get to know you (talking over skype or viber, facebook, meeting in RL can also help a lot) and than you can join in and be a part of the group.. Having an "older" friend in the game that can vouch for you is also a good thing..
Like your example, you put in a good amount of work and an older player made guarantees for you..
Its a complex matter so there arent any simple solutions..
That is true and admins need to work more on banning multies

You can forget to make a career with a new account on the battlefield. Even air-battles are too far gone to make an impact there anytime soon. Packs & companies cost money, so that's reserved for the ones who play wit their credit card. And that leaves media & politics for the freshmen.
check my profile and talk about the battlefield again 🙂
What's your secrets?
Than's not a free advice 😃
Many political parties (at least all the ones I've ever been in) encourage noobs to run for congress and try to make sure that all members who are active (i.e. contribute to the party conversation) will soon have a chance to be in congress. So maybe you should find a different party?
I wasnt talking about my party because I got into congress, I was talking generally, parties like mine and your are rare
