[Don] Farewell Erepublik

Day 4,868, 17:59 • Published in Ireland USA • by Uncle Don

Hello eWorld,

Playing this game with all of you has been a magical experience for a long time. I love this game, I love its past, I love the options we used to have in here. I feel like playing Erepublik has been part of myself, my personality. I'm not a gamer, I play no other games except the one I share with you, friends and foes, those who like and and those who hate me.

However, everything I love about this game is losing its meaning. Lots of quality people has left long before the recent bans has started. Lots of writers, thinkers, fighters and good people. I played this game in my own way. I was never attached to some account, I wasn't always respecting the Erepublik rules. For sure I'm not the fairest player around. However, I've always tried to be honest. No matter what the situation was, no matter who I spoke to. Everyone has done mistakes and I'm surely not an exception. I'm sorry for some of them. For example, I'm sorry I didn't play with a single account since I started, I stopped caring about the accounts after I lost the original one. I was misunderstood several times, I was blamed even though I wasn't guilty even more often. I've spent much more hours playing this game than I should have. It was great until few years ago, then it became dull. Playing game that lost so much meaning made me make many changes, I'd often change nickname, CS, personal goals. No regrets though, plenty of good stuff came out of it. I never changed who I am though, a man behind the screen. A man that cherish the real friendships and enjoys the teamplay.

This game used to have much more stuff to look forward when you'd wake up in the morning. I'd read all the articles, check all the laws, battles, shouts. There's been so much behind it. So many things behind the curtains. Sooo much things to keep yourself busy with. I'll never forget the propaganda articles, epic battles and great friends.

I was hoping that the game will change back to what it was. Or at least become a shadow of it. But it didn't. I gave myself too much and it wasn't very rewarding. I didn't have a family back then. I was always having lots of fun iRL so Erepublik would be a nice way to focus on something seriously. I didn't have to be serious iRL. Things are changing, I'm getting more serious iRL, getting more responsabilities. I started this game as a kid, 16 years old highschool guy that made the entire class register here. I'm leaving as a 28 years old father and husband.


Most of my eLife I played for eIreland. I loved this community and the friends I made in here. I loved our passion and honour we always took a big pride into. It caused us many problems, but we always kept our words. We've had a great team at the start of the year, we did some wonderful stuff. We wiped the Brits, we didn't let the big guys from Asteria/CODE tell us what to do. We truly had our own style. It started to fall apart with fenoglio's ban, it really killed almost all the motivation we, as a community had. I'm trying to keep myself interested, but it's not working well. Slua, my best man in this game feels the same. YoSoyT0 feels the same. All the players we spent days and nights feel the same. They're not quitting, but I am. I decided not to buy packs or talk much in the public.

The other part of my eLife I played for eCroatia. It's a huge country with many different personalities. I liked some of them, I disliked the others. The feeling was mutual. I've spent some wonderful time with great people, CrOmega moments from 2016. and last year were probably my favourite. I believe that deep down the Croatian community knows I was always there when I was needed. Regardless of how it ended.

While I'm not very loved in Croatia nowadays I have to say that I'll never talk about the reasons some things has happenned. I'll only say that seeing them being strongest country in the world after years of opression is great, it's a huge accomplishment to save the community despite all of the things they were facing. It makes me very proud.

Ireland was the best small country in the world. Croatia was the best big country in the world. Both were weaker for the most of its history, both came back strongly and survived all the changes. And I played for both, what a great joy!

After this evening I won't be an active player anymore. I'll try to keep working and training, maybe I'll stop by for a telegram chat sometimes, but I surely won't be getting myself involved with anything. I'm finally leaving this game and I'm very happy about it. The game has reached the spot where there's no coming back. I tried to be nice to everyone, I wasn't always able to do that. There's been plenty of awesome people and yet there's been plenty of toxic people too. I forgive them everything and hope to get their forgiveness for my sins. I was never pretending to be an angel nor I was one.

Dear friends, this is my way to say goodbye. A bit dramatic, but honest. Just the way my game style was. I'm not going to go and say bye to everyone one by one. I'll do my final fight tomorrow against Bulgaria and you won't see much of me again. I already left most of the groups on Telegram. Once again, it's been a pleasure to share the wonderful time with ya all. Especially those, and there are many of those, that I loved.

Anyway,

Don out.
