Goodbye to eRepublik!

No, No, the site didn't go down, I just decided to stop playing the game!

I started playing this game about a year ago (I think), I got several jobs, I participated in the liberation of e-Greece from e-Turkey (or is it e-Ottoman Empire?), I ran for elections (and lost), got a number of awards for being a hard worker and a super soldier and made the rank of General (woohoo!). I was going to keep playing until I reached the rank of Field Marshall - but I got bored.

The fact of the matter is that this game has little to offer, other than logging in once a day, every day, to click on a 3 buttons:
1. Work
2. Train in the military
3. Fight a battle

If you miss a day, you may be fired from your fake job which gives you fake money, with which you buy fake bread to sustain yourself ;-) I've missed more than a day and my fake boss hasn't fired me yet LOL. The point is that this game has little to draw me in. My character is like a whining tomagotchi character - feed me or else I will die, or pet me or I'll pout and die of sadness. Bleh!

I think the concept of the game is pretty good - an MMORPG based around real life countries (as a start) is pretty good, but there's got to be something more that draws you into the game, than just not wanting your character to die or get fired.

So, I bid adieu to eRepublik, and let my character Aris Komninos die of malnutrition.
