Amazing!

Erepublik is an amazing game! Not amazing because of it's features, or it's excitement, or it's many activities, or even it's broad spectrum number of players. No, Erepublik is amazing because despite having none of those things and being tedious, boring and simple, it is amazingly addictive!?

I have been playing Erepublik for about 3 weeks now and I seriously can't find anything good to say about it! I only play for about 5 minutes a day and doubt if anyone could play for much longer. I find it annoying, tedious and pointless, yet I can't seem to stop playing! Why?

What is it exactly that has so many grown, sensible, mature and intelligent people, from all over the world, coming back daily to do these few minutes of mind numbingly boring, repetitive tasks, just to keep their imaginary Erepublic existences going?

Can anyone explain?

I think that if you spent more time on here, reading papers, joining debates on the forum, then you would see the point in the whole game. I'm only new but these things are what keeps me active on this game. It's great!

I think to get any joy out of this game, you have to join a party, open up a newspaper, it makes it more intresting (:

erep is boring, tedious and seriously flawed. what keeps me playing isn't actually erep itself, but rather the eUK forum. The forums bring to life all the things that erep doesn't...in other words everything. it's the other players that make the game worth while. if you're not already a member of the eUK forum i suggest you sign up right now.
