Join the new world

Dear swiss people and friends, hello.

ITS DAY 5000 of erepublik!
can you believe it?!

its magnificent, its wild, its awesome : this game has been in existence for 5000 days, and we have witnessed most/some of them.

in order to kick off this excellent anniversary of the game in a proper way, i shall state my thoughts about the older, previous days that i've witnessed, and some that i didnt saw first hand, but i heard about them from older veterans of the game:

well, it all started for me in the summer of 2013, when one of my friends suggested to me this ''cool new game that is about e-countries fighting VS eachother'', and it had politics, military stuff and social aspects in it too, with large communities for each e-country...

i joined up, and the erepublik calendar said day 2050 or so.
i didnt think much of it back then, but later, i was annoyed that i had missed day 2000 of erepublik by a mere 50-60 days...

i asked veteran players and mods about this, and if there was any event/medal/quest for witnessing days 1000 and 2000 of erepublik, but strangely, there were none.

no awards, no missions/quests, no medals.
so, about days 1000 and 2000 of erepublik, the only thing that one could get were bragging rights.

but all this changed after day 2500.
during day 2500, and since it was the 4th of july, whoever would get a special weapons pack in the game, (divided in small, medium and large packs), would earn a bronze, silver or golden medal respectively about this rare event/situation.

so, day 2500 was properly celebrated, noted and rewarded in erepublik.

and that was just the beginning, for after that :
-day 3000 was properly celebrated, with a special quest/mission and a medal if you managed to complete its requirements.

-day 4000 was properly celebrated too, with a special quest/mission and a medal as well, which was quite cool to get...

so, this time, day 5000 is no exception to this rule and the game has 3 quest paths for you to take, with the ultimate goal of completing 10 quests and getting that shiny, cool medal for day 5000...

i only wish for the games admins/developers to add more seasonal quests/missions, to add more medals for the aforementioned new quests/missions/events and to also add more (new) e-countries in the game, and more game modules for it, such as having each e-country trying to go in space (like in the 1960's space race!), and after an e-country builds its own spaceship, that the exploration part of the game occurs, and you will compete against other e-countries for the resource bonuses of regions in moon, mars, deimos, etc etc)

i've been suggesting such cool ideas to the department of the game and to various people in here for years, yet i doubt that they will be materialized.
its a shame, because with a few changes here and there, the game COULD be revived again...

they could also do a simple thing and to add various new e-countries, from small irl countries (micro nations) such as monaco, andorra, the papal state, san marino, tuvalu, etc etc, or big, unique countries such as mongolia...

(or to add any new or isolated/forgotten nation in the game's map, people would flock to start a new community in there or to be represented in their native e-country...)

many things could be done, and they could help this great game in many ways.
dunno what else to say...

for now, have a happy day 5000, folks!
here's to 5000 more!
