The Rich get Richer, the Poor stay Poor

Welcome to eRepublik v3.



- If you are a new player in this game, you are screwed. There is almost NO chance for you to be the strongest player, or the richest player.

The only way you can become the strongest man, or even in the top 1000 is if you play for many years, pay a LOT of real money, AND if everyone else dies!



How is that possible? Well, it's simple!

- The only way to increase your strength is to train in special training centers. You can do the basic training, or use gold for several advanced trainings.
The fastest way to increase your str. is probably to buy gold for real money a.s.a.p., and start building your str. fast from day one.



But the problem is, there are thousands of players doing the same training like you, but they already have 4000, 5000, 6000, or even 9000 strength advantage. And if those players don't die, you will never be on the top!



Now, the admin tried to help the new players do more damage with low strength by adding the bazooka.



But, the problem is, you get more bazooka parts by doing more fights.
New, and poor, players can't do more fights then old, rich, ones. So they will always get less bazooka's.

= the rich get richer, the poor stay poor.



- Also, old players don't need to spend RL money on training, they (or at least all the smart ones) have built an economy that produces them enough gold each day.

Or, they get gold from Battle Hero medals.



How does the medal system work? - You do the most damage in a single battle = you get the medal.

BUT, problem is: the new and the poor can't win the medals... you don't have enough strength to do more damage then the old players, you don't have gold for tanks, you don't have gold for food, you don't have gold for Health Packs.

But, you can buy the gold with your credit cards:



Just make sure you have a LOT of money on your account!

Summary: the rich will get richer, and poor will stay poor.




- The newest edition to an already unbalanced game is the toolbox:



Many poor players started to cheer because they hope that now they can produce more. That is true, but (there is always a BUT) what good is to produce a bit more, if rich guys will produce a LOT more?

The more companies you already have the more tools you will get.
= the rich get richer, the poor stay poor.



Mr. Admin, please help the new and the poor. And stop boosting those who don't need boosts. You haven't done a single thing to help new players reach the top!

Many of us don't have time to wait for top players to die from old age.

Thank you for your many comments. I will try to respond to some of the "smart" ones: 🙂

"I play since 2008. Why should someone who starts to play today be equal to me? I would not play a game like that one." by cmdgeneralmarka

- Dear cmdgeneral,
I am not saying that EVERY new player should, or must be equal to others. I just want them to get a chance to become equal or stronger, in a reasonable amount of time.

Also, I am asking mr. Admin to stop making these "stupid" changes, like the toolbox, that will ony further increase the gap between the rich and poor.
