The unsolved mystery of eRepublik!
Dragan Ampovski
Hello all,
2020 has been a hell of a year, both in real life and in-game. Why in-game? Recently admins have gone into a frenzy and banned a lot of accounts on both sides, both real and multies. We also had cases where they permanently banned 2 players but later on unbanned them under unclear circumstances.
Anyways I wanted to write about a specific topic. I recently found out that Romper was allowed to open account for his children, few years ago so I wanted to ask admins if that's legal:
his kids accounts:
https://www.erepublik.com/en/citizen/profile/7853475
https://www.erepublik.com/en/citizen/profile/8844952
I scrolled through eRepublick's Terms of Service and found out a few breaches that were done in that case.
number 1
-Under the condition 4 in section 4, "ACCESSING OUR WEBSITE, CONTENT AND SERVICE" admins have said the following:
"You must be over 16 years old to use the Website and/or the eRepublik.com Service."
In the world people count age since their birth, so no matter that Romper is a hard visa player, he can't give a birth to a 16 years old child.
number 2
- First condition from section 3, "REGISTRATION AND ACCOUNT SECURITY"
"You may only open one Citizen account on the Website."
Which was clearly broken by the above mentioned player.
So having that in mind I thought that I can't open an account to my kids but I still decided to ask. The answer was, as expected, negative. My friends also said they had negative answers.
So the question Why was/is Romper allowed to make accounts, and we were/are not? remains a mystery.
Has the past administrators made a mistake, allowing him to create multiple accounts, that should be corrected?
So dear admins,we know you are busy with improving the game and trying to make it a better eWorld for all, but please find time and close this case. Fix the mistake that was done in the past, or update your terms of service and allow us also to make accounts to our family members. We are all equal, we all click the same buttons everyday.
Thank you for reading and have a good week ahead!

Thank you for your report.
We are writing to you to confirm that your inquiry is being investigated. .......
they will do NOTHING, we are not all equal
If you name yourself Romper, you are safe.
they will ban you for multies but rompy's acc will survive
I was banned for saying one name, so nothing new.
Vollandemorte????
Maybe u didn't ask the right question.... Or nick wasn't right? Maybe you can register rompelito, rompiana, rompustilskin or maybe romposlav and rompovski...
Ahahahhahahhahahha ubio si
Шта не разговарају ова двојца на СрБском ?!
На српски е, ама преведена со гугл транслејт за во статија е направено.
Абе зборам за разговорот меѓу Ромпер и Голден... 😉
je li bre makedonci, kakav vam je to srpski? nista ne razbiram
Prijem!
Ромпер не знае српски, па затоа се мора да преведува на англиски. Сега тој ќе научи
Ban all multi's and server users
drama 🍿

ToS you are referring is from now, and not sure if it is possible to enforce 7 year old things by single picture. Also if there really is admin's blessing to do so, banning them might be juristically impossible by those grounds you presented. Luckily in EU we do have very strong customer protection and it does include virtual goods and services, and they do favor the customer.
Thats a joke? 😁) if a border guard is in relations with me and allows to bring guns to Finland, that means i can have them legally? 😁)
About customer protection - if there is clear rule about forbiddance to create/buy/sell/share accounts, thats the endpoint.
The largest bs here is creating accoints for newborn childs - ofc, they play by themselves being 3 months old.... if u allow this, you must allow that everyone. Viva la botwars....
But if admins want to kill this game finally, good luck to them, doubt mastercarders will be sending same ammounts when they will have no opposition left 🙂
Why would it be joke? As I said, i'm not sure since we don't have a case about it.
Furthermore it is really questionable if admins can really prevent account selling just writing it it under ToS. For example UsedSoft vs Oracle case: it is ruled that used licenses, software or games, can be resold forward even if ToS directly forbids it. I wonder when we have a case since people spents thousands of euros here, why not for the lawyer when the ban occurs? 😃 I bet they will settle if one does that, even Valve don't want to have a precedent about it.
Btw. Weird example, but probably the border guards checks first that you have rights to bring them legally before allowing you to do so.
Yea, he checks. But i mean if you are ok with him (friend or so) so that he allows you more than he allows others. That doesn't make illegal things legal.
But finally it's not about Romper, its about treating both sides equally. If admins can't do that, prolly there will be just one side left after next packs sale.
Nobody cares

Lemi nek ti hand lolo izdrka da ti prodje. Kakvu pricu si sklopio svaka cast
lemi brt, sto balavis ?
Sta je najjaca stvar bas sam.prekljucer pricao sa Tijanom, kaze da je nekom dala acc samo nije rekla komu, zena se ubija od dosade doma.
4 + 3 za koje sigurno znamo koji naprave 3 miliona kad je najbitnije protiv 300 iako ih nema ni 30 koji to naprave za 3 meseca... Ko se pravi lud je pitanje... Drugo ovde je pitanje samo jedno "KO BANUJE SAMO JEDNU STRANU". Evo pocistimo sve, banujemo sve naloge koji su ikada bili na skripti i koji su davali drugome sifru da iz bilo kog razloga ulazi na tudj profil, hitere, XX, platise neplatise botove stagod hoces. Moze?
Dok ste dominirali i drzali nas na 3 regije banova nije bilo. Sad nema kud, ocigledno jedini nacin da se vratite na presto jednostrana cistka... Uspecete ne brini 🙂 Samo taj uspeh vec ne znam posle ovoga koliku tezinu dalje moze da ima... Izbacen iz igre jedan od glavnih igraca koji vas je i umlatio i sveo tu gde jeste zato sto je pisao clanak o nedodirljivima... Drugacije na put da mu stanete ocigledno nije moglo pa je moralo ovako....
Esto viene ocurriendo hace años, el problema es que los moderadores juegan por su pais, no tienen ninguna independencia.
