Game bugs, game team ignorance, server hacks,… all that is enough not to pay for their in game add-ons and not to play game any more.

Really disappointed after 6 months of play and huge promises from admins how they will repair and control the game mechanics. Big words, no implementations!

Better find other game to play.

Whose fault is the eRepublik didn’t promote themselves as romanian-spanish startup? Is it Techcrunch’s fault? Whose fault is that everybody hear about Alexis Bonte and nothing about George? You should talk to eRepublik about that! And to their PR department…see what they have to say…instead of coming here and ranting about “American Ignorants”…

Romani isn’t the center of the universe, you know…and if people don’t know about us is because WE don’t promote ourselves better.

I have been actively playing Erepublik since April of 08′

I don’t think it’s a game for hardcore players who spent hours everyday improving the skills of their virtual characters. Here, the only skill that matters is your own: economy, politics, diplomacy, and even war strategy (meaning the art to lure the enemy to do what you want, not giving orders to brainless troops).

I’m also a player of the beta, and the great inside Erepublik is that you don’t have an objective, you set your own goals. For example, if you are a general in a war, you not only have to plan and do some clicks to send troops. You must become a leader of other players, and the more difficult part, gain their respect and confidence to guide them to battle. If you are a politician you must write and create your political program, and convince people to vote you, but not only that. Once you become president or a minister, you must work during a full month to maintain the economy and all the country.

This game covers the place for an important group of players, who want to test themselves everyday, who want to be able to play from their job and don’t want to spend endless hours improving their character or killing monsters to gain more experience points. It’s a good simulator. Yeah it needs improvements, many improvements, but it’s in the good path..

You log in for the first time, create a character, and attempt to get a job. This usually involves another player granting you one, so you need to message someone and wait.

Then you get a job and click on a “work” button every day, once a day, until you have enough money to buy some more food.

It’s seriously the most boring experience I’ve had from any game ever. I get that eventually I’d have enough money or “work experience” or whatever to do something useful, but it really shouldn’t take that long before I can have some fun.
