Just What Is My Role Here?
It's one thing for our gracious hosts to make changes in the game which make advancement easier and faster for paying customers, leaving freeloaders to accept their role as second class citizens in The New World (Order).
It's quite another for eRepublik developers to require that players take on the roles of Recruiter and Marketing Manager to attract more cash customers to their failing business model.
By now, anyone who has played eRepublik for a while and thinks well of it has already recruited any friends and co-workers to play. We've posted it on our work bulletin boards, added the link to our many forum and gaming sig lines.
And we've made our apologies and excuses on behalf of eRepublik for the game sucking so bad, and for wasting our referrals' time in trying it out.
Casual recruitment has run its course. If eRepublik expects me to make a job of it they'll need to fix the game or put me on the payroll.
Treating current players poorly is counter to expecting them to recruit new players.
They Made Me Do It!
Custer's Mantra
What kind of game do you play, what kind of players do you like to align yourself with?
What kind of leaders do you want, what kind of leadership do you expect of them?
What kind of country do you want to "live" in and play for?

And the rewards for the quest suck too...
nice article, voted.
I've recruited. No one likes the game. It does suck. You cannot escape it, because the Admins let it suck.

I have invited 20 people who came here signed up and started playing until...they said something that a certain leader and his trolling dioist disliked, whereupon they blitzkrieg personal attacked them...on the way out they all dropped me a hate PM for getting them into a game where they got personally attacked...until the Admins do something about this group of players and the Admin Moderators who let them get away with these attacks nobody is going to stay and play.
BTW...the 30 enemies in 24 hours won't happen either unless you are a Max McFarland II...

"We've posted it on our work bulletin boards". Errmmm, sorry, no we haven't.
ELO was the best British band of the 70s and 80s \o/
All players I've recruited left as well. The game became POS since V2. I don't know why I'm still here though...
An I don't agree with "It's one thing for our gracious hosts to make changes in the game which make advancement easier and faster for paying customers, leaving freeloaders to accept their role as second class citizens in The New World (Order)." part... It's advertised as a FREE game if I recall correctly.
