Open Petition to Admins. ROLLBACK THE GOLD
•
by Chisholm
Dear Admins and eCitizens alike,
It may not be very known yet, but the gold system and currency throughout the eWorld is royally screwed. There are players with more gold and money than most governments, people exploiting bugs to get thousands upon thousands of gold for themselves.
Here is on example www.erepublik.com/en/citizen/donate/list/915762
There is so much fraud on the gold system that it affects all other aspects of the game, it funds the endless tanks changing the outcomes of wars, and makes it generally unfair and un-fun to all those players that play the game with honesty.
Another example: http://www.erepublik.com/en/citizen/donate/list/1210342/24
This blatant bending of the game needs to stop for the sake of eRepublik and it's citizens that actually try to play the game correctly.
Exhibit C: http://img2.vpx.pl/up/20090118/s.jpg
Vote this up if you promote the honest playing of the game and and hurt to see the eWorld killed by such cheating that kills it for those who actually play.

The admins need to fix the exploit and do a game rollback to about a week or so ago.
The bug has been in the game for so long now that in order to really get rid of all the gold they would have to go months back. Its just now surfacing.
Impossible
Too late. Restart is needed.
erepublik.. rest in peace.
LOL its far worse then that....
This exploit here for months as ppl at the IRC's say...
I guess Its to late to save us... they should delete all the DATA bases ... RESTART 😃
BB e-World, "thank you" eWorld murderers.
Restart the world, if we must. It's better than buggold everywhere.
I'd be okay with a restart, but I'd better back up some of my better newspaper articles first. I have everything I want in this game in my head, it's not the gold or USD! 🙂
I think the population of the game would drop dramatically if it was restarted however I do agree something needs to be done.
Rollback? How far backwards? Have I spent hours and hours for nothing? Nice. Best thing to do is to restart the whole game, preferably with the beta even. Those, who have paid actual money can have that gold and their other goods but all the rest, reset to zero, or whatever was the situation when the beta begun.
1. Rollback to a week ago or how old they keep it on the servers + banning of all the accounts that used exploits.
2. Reset to beta stats.
3. Reset from the begining.
How about simply giving everyone and I mean EVERYONE 20 Gold and 100 in Local Currency!
That will do well for a reset and continuing play!
yes, dont just pointing a fingers to other without any reason 😁™
V.O.T.E.D™ away from here 😁™
You cannot do a reset or rollback because there are people who legitimately purchased gold who could be impacted. The only plausible fix is to do an accounting of everybody with more than some X amount of gold and determine how they acquired that gold. If the Admins don't have records which can trace gold back to a Euro Purchase of it, then it should not be invalidated.

The obvious problem was fixed, the vast amount of ogld was deleted, huurah! If following problems come up - they will be fixed all thanks to a brilliant team called Admins - Thank you.
stop sobbing and whining - if you dont like it you can quit the game
If something like that happens now, imagine what will happen with the APIs!!!
I vote for a restart or rollback to at least the last update, but with every player having a good start off.
Perhaps a high enough level to have all the features unlocked(with all the experience normally gained at that level) and enough gold to start a company(higher quality companies could be created by several players opening a company together). This is assuming they restart the entire game. If they merely do a rollback, I'm sure they can think up something to keep the game fair for the honest players.
The reason for this is: the glitch has obviously been around since at least the last update(as it was the last time the game code was changed), and I'm sure some players used the glitch to gain small enough amounts of gold that they passed, and likely will pass unnoticed.

Of course you want a reset. Not voted.
Rollback at least 1 month. All the lands conquested during the wars with ilegal gold must be restored to the original countries. The same for the economies, companies, orgs, market licenses, company upgrades, military rank, etc.
@Alby Techinically if gold is purchsed or anything is purchased in a bussiness they must keep reciepts, so they could use that to note who bought gold and just re-give it to them.
@Borka Turbo I never said I wanted a reset. Maybe read the article before you comment, eh?
Getting sick of all the "open letters"???

Check it out and vote please
Chisholm: Ok, so you "just" want to roll back the gold. I don't see how that makes my argument invalid though. The correlation is clear; new players want a reset, old players don't. Not very hard to figure out why...
Besides, the issue is not about the gold anymore. The excess gold has been taken care of. The problem is the things that have already been done with the duped gold; resitance wars, war fundings, companies etc. A gold reset would only affect legit players, wiping their whole life savings. But yeah, it would be great for new players who have no savings... . . .
Simple solution. Ban everyone under level 16 and close registration. Then the old timers can keep their game, and new players won't be fooled into wasting time on it. 😃
I want a reset, I am older then you.
Your point is moot
@Borka No, the gold issue hasn't been taken care of and most people know that, people who cheated have admitted they haven't been banned and they still have thousands of gold. To Roll it back absically would mean get rid of it all and use the receipts made by those who purchased gold as a record and simply give them their gold agian. It won't be very effective because the gold has caused so much damage, but it's the least they could do
They don't have to give back gold to those who purchased it- I believe it's in the terms of service that your gold could be taken away without a refund at any time admins see fit.
