Game communications

Day 5,048, 11:12 Published in Ireland Belgium by hallo10


Hello, my fellow Citizens. As I promised when I came to Ireland I would try to write as many articles as possible. But one problem I am out of ideas to what I should write one.

So I decided to reshare an article I wrote back when I was the MoE of eBelgium. I hope this does not upset the MoE of Ireland as I do not want to affect his work.

But the article is about communications in the game.

The first step to becoming active within the eRepublik is to make contact with other players. There are several ways to communicate and I will list here the main tools:

Private Messages
This is the standard integrated tool in eRepublik. To send a message, the standard process is to join a user page and click on the send message button.

Then you can write and send a message.



While it is the best tool to reach every citizen, this is not the most practical one.


Discord and Telegram
There are two platforms for Communication Discord and Telegram



Wiki

The official eRepublik Wiki is an important source of information as it is used by players from the whole eWorld. However, there are a lot of changes in eRepublik and a lot of information is outdated or even wrong (this is far worse than Wikipedia for instance). Moreover, the structure is not always very clear and it is sometimes confusing.

However, this is a very good place to get some information, like the mission list (usually updated very fast when new missions arise). Moreover, it is a good data source if you are interested in eRepublik history.

Government feed.
The government feed can be used for someone with a role in government to tell citizens battle orders it also shows the new battle as a region attacks. If you don't have a role to message on the feed you can still comment on the posts




Shouts

Unlike the private messages, you can see the shouts on the main page of eRepublik and it shows your text to all your friends. It is particularly efficient at the beginning of the game when you do not have many friends. However, people tend to use it for anything and thus most messages are spam and not interesting (but it will depend on the way you choose your friends).
Also, you can use the shouts to talk to party members and your military unit



Newspapers
Everyone can write a news article as long as he is ready to pay the 3 gold required to create a newspaper.


Contacting admins

This has to be used only in case of problems with eRepublik. The button can be found at the bottom of the main page.



Sometimes information about updates can be found in the FAQ located in the same place.


Other Tools

Some other communication tools exist (skype for instance) but they are not used enough to mention them.

Military Unit chat
On the bottom of the screen is a military chat room


If there is anything I can help you with I will help.

Kind regards
