Join the new world

I haven’t written anything in a while but today seemed like a good time to throw something new out there. This article is pretty much a follow-up to this one I published on day 1,698. As the title says, today is my 5.48 year anniversary.

Just as before that number works out better in days and comes to 2,000 days. I started playing on October 19, 2009 and I’m still here 2,000 days later. More than just being a part of the game for this time I’ve managed to work every day I’ve been here. That’s right, today is my 2,000th consecutive day.



When I started I liked the hard worker trophies and the fact that the game kept track of your work streak. When I found this game the economy module was what drew me so finding a reward I could regularly attain just by being part of that module was appealing. I also mentioned last time that I had no political aspirations so those trophies were out. The way the math worked at the time meant I’d be receiving a new super soldier trophy every 125 days so that was no good. I’m still nowhere near finding ten people to invite for the society builder so I couldn’t count on collecting those.

The hard worker trophy on the other hand matched my fondness for routine and was a regular reward I could look forward to.

The hard worker also seems to be one of the more balanced accomplishments in the game. I’m not financially able to get ahead in this game and there are a plethora of things that can be done if you throw real money into the game. That’s fine though; if you pay you receive something beneficial in return, I just can’t compete with those players. The hard worker though is something we can all collect and the only cost is the time it takes to click the work button each day. Every user whether they’ve paid for anything or not has the same ability in this category.

Some people are political players, others rule the battlefields. My focus in this game is the simple everyday task of working. I’m ten days from my 67th hard worker trophy and I plan to keep trying to see how far I can take this. I know there are players who have already far surpassed this mark but this is what eRepublik is to me. As I said before, find something in this game that you want to accomplish, that actually means something to you the player, and work toward it. You’ll have more fun here that way.

Last time I closed the article with some miscellaneous facts from a player’s 1,000th day so this time I’ll offer some observations for 2,000 days. If the game was still like it was in V1 today then by your 2,000th day:

You would have 66 hard worker trophies

You would have 95.32 strength and 19 super soldier trophies

Your worker skill (my favorite) assuming you stayed in one job field would be 43.28

Between party president, country president, and congressional elections you would have been able to cast 195 votes


The game has changed almost completely in 2,000 days but I'm thankful that so far I can continue to enjoy this aspect of things. Well, ten more days to the next hard worker. I can't stop now.
