Sorry, Alexis.

We’re only human.
Alexis, we, the community love to give you and your team the feedback they ask for. I personally loved writing my previous article, and seeing the vocal community agree with most, if not all of it.
However, the feedback usually isn’t as nicely framed as mine.
I was talking to another player of this game, and she told me that she had an idea of how to revive eRepublik to it’s greatest form yet.
Obviously, I was surprised and really wanted to know their idea.
She said that she were going to bring you, Alexis Bonte, back to the game.
I was super pumped to hear this, since that was what myself and many others would love to see; the creator playing his own game again, as evidenced by the following quotes:
You may notice a slight eUSA bias here…
She had their idea and the quotes that would surely bring you back in, but then they stumbled across one of your articles.
Alexis answer to a banned CP: we do listen we just don't always do what you want
The article itself isn’t what’s important here, but the comments.
Whether or not these comments hold truth isn’t the point.
Over 2300 days ago, you faced these comments and many liked them probably everywhere you went. Any article you wrote, any comment you left, and I imagine any Battle Hero you earned had comments like these.
So who was she to be the one who dragged you back into the vitriol nature of the community?
You were playing, writing, and replying, which is what we are asking you to do now, but you were met with constant insults. Any sane person can see why you left.
Seeing all of this, she lost the will to finish her pitch. Her only hope for the game, the community, “emit[ed] such a black light”, that it just didn’t seem worth it anymore.
The conversation with her made me realize you’re due for an apology.
Many will say that there’s a silent majority of players who do not act this way, but when they stay silent like the name suggests, it’s easy to believe that the vocal minority is most of the players. And sure, all of us will never agree with the decisions you and your team make, but that doesn’t mean we have to attack you. You’re only human, and we are too. We forget that we’re not talking to Plato, a fictional image created so the community can direct their hate to a non-specific entity. We forget that on the other side of the screen there is the man, Alexis Bonte, who created a game that we have bonded over.
So, Alexis Bonte, on behalf of the community, who may or may not agree with this article, we’re sorry.
And please, come back. We’ll try to be nicer this time around.
After all, all we want for Christmas is you.

He should come back without letting it known.
Just create a new account tomorrow without letting anyone know, anyone and try to take part of the community. Players have constructive discussion with each other about how the game should be even if they do not talk with admins (I had such a conversation with eRep friends this afternoon for example !).
You should surely come to a small comunity, to see how we suffer from the lack of players and activity, and also how we see the game differently too.
I'll also appology for what older players did, even if I was not present at that time.
P.s. : Switzerland is a cool place to live Alexis 😛
Interesting, I think you have a point.
However, many admin mistakes (way more than "greed", since EVERY game company wants profit, but some have a more professional administration than others) certainly helped to breed this hostile climate into the hearts of players.
Voted!
seems slightly gay
gnil pls
It's all gay, or nothing.

That apologice doesnt go on my name.
Plato and eRepubliklabs are a company and as such they run for the profit. BUT... they have mistreated us, their clients for many years.
We have been faithfully trying to play this. We have "fixed" a lot of "ERRORS" in the most basic planning of the game (like for example how much time must a newbie be waiting to have full trainings to be useful at all?).
We created communities from thin air where we developed a society.
Yet eRepubliklabs only put stones in our paths instead of creating a path for us.
Pardon me if i sound rude but im not sorry about how communities treat him, it hasnt been an unfair treatment.
WOULD YOU LIKE A HUG, BIG GUY?
Man, you want that CM job pretty badly. But it does not mean what you think it means.
