happy birthday Erepublik

Day 90, 07:02 Published in France France by alexis bonte
Erepublik beta is now 3 months old. After 90 days there are now 12,500 citizens (20,000 registered users) from 43 countries. After having had several changes in the world order from Romania to Spain, then USA then Pakistan… Sweden is the new superpower with 2800 citizens far in front of Indonesia and Norway.

The Erepublik team has worked very hard behind the scenes to bring new pages and prepare the military module as well as the V1 version. Major improvements have been achieved in terms of site performance.

As usual a few stats we can share from Google Analytics:

Erepublik now receives about 13,000 daily visits (up 33% MoM), a total of 704,000 people have visited it since launch generating over 13 million page views and the average time per visit has decreased from 14 to 13 minutes. There are about 5000 people in the waiting list for an invite and this is growing at a rate of about 450 people / day, at a time where we are still in private beta and not communicating. This can be explained in part by the hundreds of fan sites that have popped up everywhere in France, Norway etc… and for this buzz we can only thank the citizens.

In order not to frustrate those who are in the waiting list we will try to let on a first come first in basis beetween 1000 and 2000 people from that list to become citizens every week depending on the impact to the beta.

The community involvement has been amazing not only in terms of enjoying Erepublik but also in creativity and feedback making us all feel that together we are building something special.
