Suggestion to save this game
Franckie18
Hello everyone,
I'm writing this article to maybe "save" the game. Cause yeah, we all know it's going to die if admins doesn't change anything already existing instead of adding continiously features that do not have a good impact or give us tournaments we don't like.
So my suggestion would be about the Divisions. As eRepublik mostly turns around the military module, Divisions have a lot of impact on everyone's eRepublik experience.
New players join and do not have any impact in division 1, and old players stay forever in Division 4 and have to invest a looooot of ressources to have impact in a battle because this Division is overpopulated.
And the 2 remaining Divisions, Division 2 and 3, have a really low amount of players but have tanks with the same amount of strength than Division 4, that are ruling the Division.
So new players and old players leave because they don't have impact and Division 2 and 3 players leave too because they don't have as much strength as tanks in their division.
So some players suggested Divisions by strength.
The idea isn't bad, but players would stop training when they're going to change division, and that's it. They would up their rank and new players wouldn't be able to reach older players' rank.
Other players suggested Divisions by rank.
That would become kind of the same problem as division by level, because people would have to farm strength, and Plato would transform the Infantry Kit's experience inhibitor into a rank inhibitor.
This idea is as bad as the current situation. Maybe worse because players would level up by working in factories while farming strength, and we already have overproduction, so this would destroy the economy that already has difficulties to exist.
My suggestion is Divisions by age.
Players would stay a certain amount of time in each division and each Division would have its quality of weapons :
😛
So for example, I joined on the 30st of July 2013, so I would be in Division 2 until my next eBirthday.
Positive points :
You face players of your age. We remove overpopulation and give a chance to new players to have impact in this game.
With the time, we'll have to create new divisions because players will become older, so new weapon qualities will be needed and this will help the economy I hope.
Every type of weapon would be used, and new players would have to pay a bit less than older ones.
Negative points :
Players that rejoin the game after years of inactivity are completely useless in their Division. But this can be avoided by letting players reset their account.
And I wouldn't be annoyed that the game would give you after your reset, 5% or even 10% of the gold you have bought since your last reset (this avoids a player to reset every year) as gift. With this, players wouldn't lose everything they have had before, even if they lose much.
Players would thus have a "first join" date and a "last reset" date on their profile page.
Why you should Alexis Bonte (akka Plato) do this
1. More players would play, means more money.
2. Players resetting their account would buy more gold because they need to upgrade their Training grounds and so.
3. Players not resetting their account will need gold to upgrade their weapon factories with the new weapons.
4. Remove the Infantry Kit, but propose players to keep even more of the the gold they purchased since the last reset when they reset, for some euros.
5. Because it would make the players happy, and make older players come back.
6. To simply keep eRepublik alive and get even more money than now.
Even if you don't agree with everything I said, I guess you'll agree that the game needs a change similar to this, and I invite you to write a comment explaining why you like/dislike my ideas.
Thank you for having read my suggestion, and please don't forget to vote this article, it's really important.
By voting this article, you'll give my words more power, and thus have more chances to get this implemented.
For a better eWorld,

There's no way back. It's dead. Gnilraps had a good article sometime ago about the game and where it's going.
Vote for the ideas anyway.
I understand the business politics you hided but the sad truth is that, the full reset would be the only solution. Nobody can find a proper solution which is good for everyone in this full chaos... But I really appreciate your ideas, vote
How do you think that would work? People have spend thousand of real cc into this game, they have spend years on building up their account and their strength.
What this will do is actually kill the game, if you do a reset a lot of people will quit the game and you will end up with even less people.
Admins maneuvered the formulas so many time which made the divisions (and anything else) unbalanced and unfair. Moreover the game has already been killed by admins. So doesn't matter if the game dies slowly or fastly in either way.
I also wouldn't be so happy of the reseting if you check my profile. I have taken much care about the game in the past 6 years but I really got tired. Read my last article
Alexis Bonte,Konrad Newman,... Dangerous people kill this game !
Voted for those ideas, but I'm afraid the game is doomed 😒
New ideas are always welcome and refreshing, but I personally would like see Divisions by strength if somebody would ask me.
No age.
No experience.
Someone has certain strength level he can only play against the players of the same or equivalent strenght.
It's only fair thing for everyone.
as Franckie pointed out... everyone would just stop training and sit in the same division for the rest of their elife. There will be no advancement, no reason to grow, no playing...

I think that division by ages would be worst. That means that little visa player in each "age" would be always better than the rest. At least, now, a no visa player but holder can do something; but imagine two people: one get 4 trainers in... 2 years?, more?... the other one get it an 1 month.....,
And that is different from now..... how?
age, xp, strength, etc....visa-players(as you call it) will always have an edge in any system.
It's a bit arrogant to think a none paying player is better then everyone else and i am not saying that visa-players are better either.
The only reason that we treat each other so different is because we deem it to be different.
A lot of people who restarted his account, upped their trainers in the beginning with the money of its another account, so there´ll be problem same to now.
The problem it´s not the game, the problem is us. It´s very easy, people always look for the way to be better than the rest. If they dont care wait 2 or 3 years to get it, they´ll do every neccesary thing to get it, and always there´ll be bigger differences among people, like now among holders and no-holders.
If people PLAY, play how this game should be played, there would be less problems. I´ll always defend that. we blame the game instead of us.
Alexis Bonte is not Plato, fyi
v+s for the thought.
one way to delete division o/
Voted !
Got my VOTE!
but i would love if eRepublic added something new like something else then just fighting or anything new just to have a feeling there is somehting new to do or more to do (a lot more xD )..
that would be awesome!
Lets say like
-Businesses like
Farms
-Tres
-Animals
(so you can get this status of farm family and get the full benefits and your country gets its the benifits from you becouse your a farmer and so on..)
-Crime Leader of a village,town,city,county,continent
-gangs,police,protest,civil war,
Creating stuff
Creating new countries like civil people in one region unite to make a region country
-made up flag,culture,civilization
-That can be reached though diplomatic or revolutional needs
Or rich family status that give you special bonuses features like
-buying other items that normal erebulics civil people dont have
-getting benefits from wars on drug,crime,country,region vs region.
-Creating new town,cities maybe giving money to both sides of the war or investing in an revolution.
-just a short thought of the ideas dont have time to really put anything good yet :d
