Can we? Why not?
Swoosh.
I am writing all this things up, because of Master_rg 's article series, related to his visit to eRepublik Labs. I will link this article under one of his articles, and hope that somebody "from the other side" will actually read it.
I also want to say hi to the girls from the Support, he said they are beautiful ! 🙂
So, without going into the real tough topics, a few lighter ones (I think)
Here I go:
1.
why are less and less events / missions ?
See what I mean.
2.
Every once in a while some PP boosters could really make people be happy that
a. they have food companies (and sell lots of food)
b. they can fight a lot more (because weekly challenge rewards)
Can we have more of these ?
3.
One of the events - coordonate multiple people in the same time for objectives (~2 minutes) made the game really more about community and teamwork
Saw people actually praising that. Can we have more of that ?
4.
When Resource Wars was "live" there were a lot of battles in the same time (180 battles in the same time at one point)
That is also something that can make the game more fun for a while.
can we make some events that would generate more battles?
Or maybe missions, to start a resistance war? (10 people per battle, 180 battles, that is 1800 people ...)
5.
Do they believe enough in the game to pay for ads?
I mean is there anywhere some kind of advertisement, so people can hear about, and join eRepublik?
Or it's only if people get to eRep accidentally from Wikipedia ...
The number of users went down from 80 000 to 60 000 in a pretty short period of time, and it seems like it is not climbing back up.
These numbers are from : My country - Society - Active Citizens - World
5.
I am not even going to touch the "Fix economy" part.
I said this a lot of times. Manager work got eRepublik in a "cul-de-sac"
I think that making any serious change will be very difficult if Plato wants to make all 3 types of users happy:
a. new players
b. old players
c. paying players
So I will probably only complain about any change that we'll see 🙂
6.
I think there should be a module where users add ideas what to implement in the game
Nothing will be even looked at, unless other users vote on it, discuss it.
Maybe at one point Admin could get on a good idea, draw up possible outcomes (good and bad) of a possible new feature, and throw it back again, re-voting by hundreds of players
Something like http://idea.informer.com/, but better, and inside the game.
Everybody would use their own login, no anonymus votes on future features.
7.
I would really like to see on the Campaign page a top list of countries by damage. Every Battle would have this, and if there are too many countries, then top 10 countries would be enough.
This way, it would be visible for everybody, how much the allies helped, and how much they hit on the wrong side.
Cheers

2 and 3 yes please
as I said many times: we are the problem
we all say fix economy, but we don't really mean it
anytime the admins make something in the good direction (for example the infamous boost the economy days, which had a serious proposal to half the benefit of every product, so you use more (like q1 food only gives one hp, etc.) ) people start to cry, because that's not what they want
what they mean by fix economy, is "fix economy without it affecting me negatively", or even more "fix economy with it affecting everyone but me negatively"
people don't want to accept, that the problem with economy is that we all have too much stuff already, so the only way is to sacrifice some of it
our goal is not a fixed economy, but only to have more
that's why admins giving away free stuff is celebrated, although a step in the wrong direction
More events = more fun! I think every week should have its unique event!
Good ideas friend..
Big support o7
I wold buy PP boosters.
Big vote!
for cc or for gold? or for euro ? 🙂
CC and Gold
dream on !
1.Remove guerrilla
2.Remove divisions
3. Instead divisions add two more different battle modules.
for example ( 1.roun😛 Land battle (current) 2. roun😛 air battle (current) 3. roun😛 sea battle (new) 4. roun😛 space battle or something else (new))
4. Add energy bars companies
5. Add companies that follows new battle modules.
6. SMS registration (multi accounts killer) - one phone number -one account!
Really well thought,
Big support
1. fix it
4. That sounds good, but they need to sell gold ... so that will never happen
#3 - and nobody should have "access" to all 4 types, let's say maximum 2 types
otherwise we would have the same guy be the BH on every type of fight
6. SMS registration (multi accounts killer) - one phone number -one account! -> there is some group of users which will not allow to link account in the game with real Phone number. What next you need to send $ sms to login to game? this will kill this game.
