Last week was all about LeWeb for a few of us at eRepublik (and for me it’s been more like the last couple of months). After winning the jury prize for best European startup at last year’s LeWeb, we decided to return to re-introduce everyone to the New World as it is today. What a few days was. It started with our arrival on Monday to get everything set up - which included getting our booth ready. What an impressive booth we had - it lit up the entire room of booths with its towering white walls and screens running images of the game. People flocked to our booth full of curiosity to learn what eRepublik was and how to get involved. To introduce folks to the game we had an eRepublik newspaper including some intriguing news articles from the game, and also passed out eRepublik passports with LeWeb visas. What was especially timely was the current war declared by the USA, UK, Canada and Sweden on France - certainly intriguing news for a lot of the French attendees. It was so refreshing to interact and share the game with so many new people all at once and speak with them about their impressions and thoughts about the game. Overall, people were tremendously fascinated with the concept and eager to get into the New World and check it out themselves. We were all tremendously exhausted, but very happy and thankful to have had the opportunity to share eRepublik with so many people, face-to-face. We met a lot of really sharp people and had some very intriguing conversations about the game. It was a great time, but now it’s back to work!
November could be called “The Revolutionary Month”. “Independence” was the word on everyones’ lips and keyboard.
Regions were liberated all over the New World starting the 1st day of November when the Finnish revolutionary movement from Southern Finland succeeded. In the following day Slovakian control was regained in Central Slovakia.
The first eRepublik V1 presidential elections have taken place on the 5th of November in all free countries. Just as a coincidence it happened right in the day following the USA elections.
Celebrations for 1 month since V1 was launched have occurred on the 14th day of November. The next day, well rested, Chinese people united their forces and regained their home country by liberating Beijing.
Like as Ares, the god of war, himself would walk the lands of the New World, three wars were started on the 16th when Brazil vs. Argentina, Indonesia vs. Argentina and Spain vs. Portugal conflicts threatened that the border regions could be transformed into new battlefields.
The many days lasting fierce fights of the revolutionary war from Volga-Vyatka region finally came to an end on the 17th of November with the victory that brought back Russia to the map of eRepublik as a free country.
Two days later, Poland regained control in the region of Silesia preferring to use an inside revolutionary movement instead of an official war.
But the most powerful and wide revolutionary movement in the New World was noticed on the 20th of November, on the day when eRepublik celebrations were held for the fist year of the New World.
In that very special day, Germany, South Korea and India regained their independence. Also, Finland decided to make official its desire of reclaiming all the initial regions and officially declared war to Norway.
We are sure that all of you are eager to discover what will be happening next in the New World. Stay tuned as we will keep you informed about the events of eRepublik. Or, even better, if you are not yet a citizen, become one today and change the history.
