Watch out for the bugs!

Day 66, 00:00 Published in South Africa South Africa by Jeffa

Some people would consider bugs a horrible curse a game may have, but some think its the charm the game. eRepublik is still in its beta-version, and therefor its alot of bugs causing frustrated testers and overworked admins.

I figured out I should warn my readers about some of the horrible bugs out there.

Invites:
Its a well known fact that invite = gold. Unfortunatly invites have a bug on them, at the moment. Invites to gmail, hotmail and yahoo may not make it. Many people are frustrated about this, and loose both gold and friends ingame
Another bug with invites is missing gold. An invite is succesfull, but the inviter doesn't get the 5 gold he/she is entitled to.

Both these bugs are beeing worked on, and you can report the bug either at the bottom of this screen "Report a bug" or post about it on the forums, and in both cases admins will contact you or give you the missing invites/gold

Currency's & money:
Still the money is a problem ingame. Me myself think gold is the most frustrating currency made. Sure, in a fantasy world with one, and only one currency, gold is the only one that is good enough, but when they try to simulate the real world, please don't add a "fake" currency, even though its a good thought. To have a common currency everyone can share is good, but when people in countries with weak or uninteresting currency need this gold to start companies or parties, the problem emerges. Just look at our markedplace. The only food avalible, is Q2, and only made 3-4 of every day, by one user. If the needed money to start a company were Zar, people in this country could start their own companies much easier, than todays system.
Ofcourse, you may sit and read this, thinking that this isnt a bug, but in my eyes it is. Gold in eRepublik is a bug, and needs to be removed.

The markedplace for trading currencys is actually just a .html page filled with bugs. They say it themselves, trading currencys isnt easy to figure out with todays system. They are ofcourse working on it, and it will be fixed soon.


Some last words from the publisher:

If anyone of you feel like writing an article, but not owning a newspaper, contact me and we can arrange something. If you also have something to comment/add please either comment down below or contact me direct.

I will also accept work-cv via pm if you feel like working in eBabb & have +2.0 in food-skill.
Speaking of food and eBabb. I have today recieved 5 gold for a succesfull invite, and we are now halfway to a Q1-foodcompany! Please donate money to me and I will se to it that the company is created as soon as possible!
