Rant

This rant is about the admins scamming us.
1. They are scamming us with Lana and her personal trainer clones. We must not pay to train because the admins then think that it is working and get happy! We dont want this! Eventually, they'll force us to pay to train, then we'll buy gold with RL money and they'll be euphoric! Then they up the price of gold, and their tyranny will never end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2. They are also scamming us with the obvious one:
Treasure maps. My last 2 treasure maps wer 4.31 and 4.21 gold! That is plenty lower than the LIE by the admins of a 5 gold average! They will continue to lower the prices, then people will start buying gold with RL money to compensate, then the price of gold will go up, and like I said ,then they won't stop! If you think you have gotten an all time low, comment!
And so, my suggestion is to never, ever pay for trainers or gold with RL money. Maybe then the admins will open their F*CKING EYES AND EARS to us getting angry! We must tell newer citizens in our Education guides not to pay for this stuff! Spread the word throughout Erep, to man, woman, and child, to EDEN, to PHEONIX, to EVERYONE!!!!!!!

eRepublik, like most massive online games, is designed to make money.
Gold is how they do it here.
A lot of people are willing to cash out to perform better in this game. But the vast majority are not - just like in most other online games.
The admins aren't silly - they realize that most people won't pay to play. They will *not* make it impossible (or even hard) to survive on a free-to-play system. Doing that would hurt their prospects for making money, because it would drive players away.
There's no need to panic.
I completely agree with Sperry.
I have not bought gold yet, but I'm not ruling it out.
im not panicking, im just pissed cause i got a low treasure map again! 😛
in both my treasure maps i recieved about 3.5 gold.
but you used the word Average.
that means some will get lower than 5 gold, and some higher....
its not a guaranteed 5 gold minimum. 5 is average. look for keywords in advertisements and such...
wait till V2 you'll see how much gold you need 😛
I'm a free to play and a amassed over thousands of gold! \o/
Well, in the meantime, i'm waiting for a higher one!
And uh Kaziah: A guy in the US did a study and the average of people tested was like barely 4 gold, and a couple of them got treasure of Kings, so the rest got crap returns!
Actually, in a global study by some Spanish person, the average was found to be almost exactly five gold, though the median was significantly lower (about 4.1 IIRC).
well then we have conflicting results!
I have bought Gold, it's not a big deal.
Do you think hosting this game is free? A game this size must be using up 2 Gigs of bandwith a day at least.
No RL Money = No Game
they didnt specify in what increments they give out gold on the treasure map, simply that it would average at 5.
therefore while a very very few could get a massive amt and the rest far less and still averages to 5. its all in the language used. technically not a scam if the average IS 5.
afterall the word used was average, not median.
