~They want to improve/change graphics soon

~ "Yes, indeed, the retention rate especially for new citizens is our main focus right now.." This sort of confirms my theory that the RM company change was all about allowing new citizens to purchase Q1 RM companies with currency fast in order to retain them. There also have been rumors for months that the experience you have right after you register is going to be overhauled.

~ Health kits will not be limited. One valid reason brought up about this is that if they were limited then only a few people could win battle hero medals. Allowing purchases and kits allows anyone (well more than just a few people) have a chance to get a BH medal.

~ "I think 300 health limit is too low for a huge amount of people. That’s something that we are working right now." So health per day could be upped to 500 or something again. This is something commune systems should keep in the back of the head (and maybe stockpile instead of sell extra food).

~ "After May we will be able to focus much more on improving the citizen’s experience and the product’s virality and acquisition." I take this to mean that they are done tweaking the big modules soon and will finally work on the little things.

~ "Q20 : Is there anything that you (as a citizen) really don't like and want to be changed/removed?"

"George: Yes, as a citizen I have 2 problems:
- is too hard to progress in eRepublik.
- is not enough collaboration between people in the economy module
Those are things that we will solve in the following 2 months."

(Bold by me) Will be interesting to see if economic collaboration will be allowed.

Thoughts?
