New media module

by **shadowukcs** 2013-02-09, 13:24

The media is at the heart of the eRepublik experience since the beginning of the game. People use it for information, for debates, for arguments, or for having fun. But probably the most important role of the media is not a consequence of the articles themselves, but of what follows below. Commenting in the media was the way players first got to know each other back when the game was launched. This direct interaction between players formed friendships and ultimately forged the eRepublik community.

Those who played during Beta will remember how many great things first appeared in articles: the first map, the first battle statistics, the first lottery, (you’re going to like this) the first miss contest, and even the first church (this one is maybe not so great and highly questionable, but still, a church!).

Although IRC is now widely used as a form of communication between eRepublik players, it doesn’t make comments less important. On many articles there are comments that stir bigger debates than the article which hosts them. And for the new players, this is one of the first ways to realise how active the eRepublik community is.

Lately we worked on a small improvement that can make it easier to exchange ideas through the media system. Starting in a few days, you will be able to reply to a specific comment. The reply will be displayed directly under this comment, as well as all the following replies, creating a conversation. You will also be able to create another conversation under each of these replies.

We hope that this new system will be useful and will make commenting in the media system more user-friendly. As usual, if you have any thoughts, leave us a comment here

Regards,

eRepublik Team

wow, this is the best they've got.

F*cking Romanian gypsies.

still an improvement ^.^

Let me guess, another gold offer as special gift ?

They should really stop doing little things and show them as a big change. Rather regroup all the changes in one update instead and fix some major things like the economy system .... but I think this is just a dream of mine that will never happen.

That's the only change.
I really like that change.
Makes it more interesting to follow the comments.

It is a good idea.

1995 called and wants their threaded comments idea back.

Oh wait, don't have it here, so maybe it is a good idea?

^ indd, you know an idea is old when youtube stole it from someone else who stole if from someone else who used it at the beginning of the internet.

Bear in mind guys, this new feature is the result of several months of coding. (!!!) I could literally train a monkey to do this in 5 minutes.

Shadowukcs - f*** you too. I can not enjoy my morning coffee because of the nonsense that you leave free from your mouth. I'm tired of guys like you who likes to discriminate a nation through some mishaps or persons who do not represent us. OK, this is a game, but your statement refers to some real people and some real problems.

We'll talk again when you've endured one year of stupidity, greed and utter retardedness from the guys in charge of this game.

I can literally bore you with pages of anecdotes of their greed and stupidity.

Yes, why are u still playning... I`m playing just for the sake of this community..That is the point of this game. Maybe , those guys in charge of this game don`t know that, but we are still here..Ask yourself why... And if the answer is the same as mine then maybe you can change the way you interact with all of us. I understand the way you are (that tip of guy that don`t give a flying s*** on nothing) but if it so even with us...then leave us.

ohboy

by Nihil.sine.deo 2013-02-10, 12:08

Typical ... how to answer me if you do not know the answer yourself... I think that u must ``man up``, face your issue, face your problem of adaptation and just try to get along with me. I feel you brother, I understand, it`s a tough world..

by **tommot** 2013-02-10, 12:50

You 2 knock it of... this has nothing to do with the possible changes they proposed.
btw: i still can't find the changes they made. Neutral
