My apologies to eRomanians, admins and an interview with the devil!

Day 1,069, 15:58 • Published in South Africa USA • by gid1

My previous article was called How nice it would be if we were all Romanians. This was because my friend registered an account in eRomania and got 3 maps till level 8 (24 exp points). Anyway after all rumors about dirty playing of this game I got really angry when I heard that, especially because I always respected eRomanians as the best nation on EDEN side (most honest too). Accepting that they might fall on those levels was too much...

Anyway the name of the article was not directed to eRomanians, I never really thought they are those that should be blamed, but administrators. There were many voices arround about administrators helping some nations one way or another to help them develop faster. Till the moment I found that issue I never really listened to them, but giving 3 maps while in eSerbia u get 1 was too much and in that moment for me it was confirmation that something strange is going on.

This was a second mistake I made in that article 🙂 As u can see, admins replaced my article with link to official thread and copied it there. So where was a the problem?

All my friends that tested registrations were facing a very big BUG that made so much confusion. Everything that changed from test to test was that they opened their alerts at different time. As I found out later, it was enough not to open alerts and u could get up to 6 maps till level 15!!! If u used all 300 wellness, You could get 30 gold in just 2 days! I still cannot understand that nobody noticed this from admins team for a whole month.. But I still have to apologies to administrators too because they reacted as they should right away and repaired that bug as soon as possible, and they never made differences between countries,that bug could be used in whatever country!

I still get confirmations about how much this bug was used intentionally. After admins repaired the bug in question, I talked with one player that made use of it:

Me: Why You contacted me at first place?

XXX: Well it was very stupid from You to write that article. Everyone that knew about what You are actually writing first laughed about your ignorance, and than hated You because You destroyed their game. That bug was awesome for many players! But I guess someone had to do that sooner or later because game started to loose any sense with that bug... I just wanted to explain You what was the truth, now that we can talk about that as it is over...

Me: Can You explain me in what that bug consisted from?

XXX: It was enough not to open alerts and u could get 6 maps in 2 days with a new multi... There was another 🙂 U could kill yourself, than bring your acc back from dead (or multi) and than bring it on one step before passing to next level. Than all u had to do is bring it to 20 wellness, open any battle in one tab and marketplace in other, buy food on marketplace and hit after reloading other tab, and u could get number of maps that matched number of your next level plus 1. Some of my friends told me You could also hit unlimited number of times but I never went that far, gold is everything that I was interested in...

Me: Wait, i didn't understand that one...

XXX: Well if we assume You are level 24, about to go up on 25, using this special procedure You could get up to 26 maps if u do everything right...

Me: How the **** You discovered that?

XXX: If You create up to 40 multi acc's every day, or You bring back from dead some of them sooner or later You notice that something goes wrong... That is pretty regular procedure that I do when I fight, I open two tab's and buy food in one and strike in another. Just that not everyone do that with revived multi 🙂 Than I just opened my map's and.... I saw many of them 🙂 So I did that again until I understood what was happening 🙂

Me: So You created how many multis untill now?

XXX: Since V3 started, between 200 and 300... I spent between 10 and 40 gold from each of them on battles and than let them die...

Me: Why are You doing that? Isn't it better to play fair?

XXX: Oh, I just keep the balance. I was banned from erepublik about 8 months ago and I never really returned to the game, but never left either... This game always had multi farmers all over the eWorld and will always have. It's impossible to eliminate them. So if You let your enemies take advantage of them and You don't, they will certainly win because of that advantage, and that would not be honest too... Someone has to keep balance... I would be very happy if some day it became impossible for everyone to use multi acc's. Until that day I will continue what I'm doing now. Possibilities can be reduced as admins did now, but never removed. Multi acc's are part of this game and that won't change soon.

Me: How much has picture of eWorld changed because of these latest bugs?

XXX: Look at the order that things happened and you'll understand it yourself. First of all EDEN advanced (yes I think EDEN was stronger anyway but not THAT much), nobody could do anything on other side but sit and watch. It was all luck that somebody on there side found out first about the bug, it could be other side as well and regular players would always believe only to what they see. Than suddenly Phoenix reappeared from nowhere and started winning something... At the end, since admins repaired the bug, prices of weapon and food are going down, and u cannot see some guy making 500k dmg in a single mini-battle anymore... Oh yes, it is certainly because everyone spent all they had, one way or another... You can believe in whatever You want 🙂

Me: So we are not playing erepublik but "who cheats best"?

XXX: In this version it was exactly as You say before this bug was removed. Now we returned to regular gameplay (thanx eGod's, I was getting very tired). I only hope nobody has 50k gold or more hidden somewhere, or if he has that admins will find them 🙂 If nobody did that, You can play your fair game now (as fair as it can be and always was).



I don't say anything is right or wrong here. I got confirmations from many players about these bugs and the way they worked, seems everyone knew before me but nobody wanted to speak in public about it. This was the one conversation that had biggest impact on me, but everyone has right to believe whatever he wants.

Thank You admins for stopping this and making less possible and profitable multi farming and please react faster next time! And I must say this another time, I'm really sorry for anything I said in previous article that was wrong or offended anyone. It was not directed to offend, it was protest against irregularity that I didn't understand well but as it seemed made me angry enough to write in a way I usually don't.
