eRep Labs is hungry as hell

Okay, so there have been a few bad decisions in the eRep Labs office in the past 2-3 years. Some were okay, some were good. But I would like to know who would approve a $15 Maverick Pack that would kill the game COMPLETELY?!?!? Is eRep Labs so HUNGRY? Or are they just desperate to the point where decisions and forward vision becomes suicidal?
It isn't karma! Or is it?
Did anyone there (eRep Labs) sit down and think through a long-term plan? Are all MMORPG games doomed to die within 10 years? Well, if that is the case, and the Company has already moved to other games (Tactical Heroes, World at War, Age of Lords, etc.) leaving eRepublik to implode on its own, then WHY LIE? Why LIE here, for example, and say a new module (Aviation) will bring balance to the game. A big disappointment!
How I stopped buying packs
Bad decisions galore. The epics were a good addition it made me personally buy the Power Pack and the Blitzkrieg pack, but then the algorithm was changed and there was NO epic in sight. That made me retire the Assault Pack. I completely stopped buying packs after I found out someone with the help of an admin(s) or exploits is able to vote with other player's accounts. But that is a different story on its own. The voting multies...one of the plagues of the game, preferrentially allowed by admin(s). So that was a sad goodbye to my money, which I'd rather go see an extra movie with, every month.
Then there was the Maverick Pack which put the nail in the coffin. You basically have approximately 300 paying players in the whole game chasing an Epic fight (at the first Division of course) every Tuesday to get their Prestige Points. And that's it! Everyone else is just clicking around. They changed the epic algorithm, then introduced the Maverick Pack so that these paying "customers" are actually FORCED to buy the Maverick Pack. The hilarious part is that now even the Weekly Challenge Prestige bar will be capped at 40K PP. It now becomes competitive above that level, and you won't just sit and collect Energy Bars.
But where is this game going?
It's only going down. It's going down..LIKE A CLOWN!
If you take a look at the statistics for the past few years they are all a big FAT LIE. It looks like we have a list of less than 1,000 unique active (some paying) players interested in eRepublik during peak time. Given a total claimed active player roster at 90,000 please allow me to mention that it looks like at least 90% of the accounts are multies. AT LEAST! I know it's scary, but it seems that's reality folks!
How many players are actually happy in this game?
Does anyone have a historical earnings release? cuz eRepublik the game must be in the negative, at a loss, year after year. I wonder how the other games are doing. U makin' money Mr. Bonte? Not from me. Not anymore. See above why!

25 martie era termenul de depunere pentru firme a situatiei pe 2016. In consecinta vedem in maxim o luna cum afost si pe ultimul an. Oricum multi i-au cantat prohodul jocului dar el inca functioneaza, plus ca mai face si profit.
anu asta se inchide sandramaua 😛
vote, a good article
dupa ce am vazut in schita lui Black Amorphis se pare ca in 2017 vor trece pe negativ, asta insemnand cheltuieli mai mari decat incasari
Poza cred ca e veche din 2014, acum suntem in 2017. Nu mai angajeaza. Nu cred. Poate cineva "intern" fara bani.
in mare parte ai atins punctele sensibile si evolutia acestui joc dpdv al end-userului. ce nu ai inteles tu niciodata si poate inca nu ai inteles (decat cand te-ai oprit sa platesti packuri) este ca adminii, multi din ei romani fiind si-au tras "spuza pe turta lor" cum s-ar zice. au fost multi mierosi pe la meeturi, s-au dat bine pe langa cine trebuie si au avut avantaje. aceste avantaje au variat de-a lungul anilor
daca la inceputuri au existat unii care se bucurau la cateva batoane de energie, au aparut cei care faceau clone cu sutele, strangeau goldul si apoi il vindeau la "juma de pret" asta se intampla prin 2010 - 2011 (eu am mai avut un cont cu care am jucat dar l-am lasat sa moara, asta este al doilea). apoi au venit unii care au fost lasati sa "populeze" erepul ca sa para mai aglomerat chipurile, de l-au aglomerat de tot.
in ziua de astazi cei asupra carora se mai inchide cate un ochi sunt o gasca amarata de 15 - 20 insi care mai cumpara packuri si ii poti vedea ca au partidele si functiile politice / militare. astia sunt cei care mai ciupesc cate o pomana de genul banii din trezorerie, desi sunt deja aceiasi de cativa ani (o treaba care nu va fi niciodata OK in nici o societate reala sau virtuala). Mai exista inca pe atatia care cumpara packuri din buzunar si nu au treaba cu functiile si cu magariile. Oameni ori cu bani ori care mai joaca doar din inertie sau distractie. Restul au fost toti "decimati" de cei care au vrut sa fie barosani mafioti, si acum au ramas de unii singuri 🙂
e o istorie trista, dar unii cred ca sunt acolo "pe p**la lor"
e ca si cum furi din bancomat, iti iei masina si te dai om educat care si-a facut casa din salariu, cam asa sunt astia care au trisat cu clone, aceeasi senzatie o au, si acelasi caracter
Hungry like the Wolf. Wrong choices, wrong people managing the game. They were warned. They didn't listen.
