I played this game from August 2009 until April 2011. I was a politician, a Minister of Health, and a soldier in the Canadian Armed Forces, I fought for EDEN. I fought in Lionking, Hellokitty and Fort Katana, I watched the Fat Lady Sing in Western Australia, where the game operators declared an Indonesian victory when their forces should have lost. I watched the game fall apart in V2, and saw its slow, painful recovery afterwards. Ultimately, I came to realize that the game no longer held my interest, and slowly faded out in the last year, losing track of the world.
I suppose that's my eRepublik life. I had a fun run, but came to realize that the game was failing to hold my attention, and that all I really cared about was the community. I still hang out with them a bit, but I don't play anymore.
Of course, if you join and say that CurryAztec invited you, you'll help him move towards getting his community builder medal, so that's nice.
