How we doing? Approval Poll
« on: July 03, 2009, 10:21:44 PM »
I figured I would post this here to try and gauge how many new guys come here form the message and see how good we are doing. Only new guys vote please

Since this board is accesible by guests they can vote right admin?
Also if I lock it and have it stickied can the Poll still be voted on?

Thanks

I voted. However, this forum would have been WAY more helpful had a found it earlier than the 31 days that I have now been living in eUS. I did pick up info from the eRep forums, and got some informal help, but I see a need for a more organized outreach to new players.

I feel privileged to find this forum as an eUSA citizen. It is helpful. It'd be more helpful with more guides, overviews and FAQs.

One big difficulty for a newbie like me is that, I do not know what is ahead for me in eRepublik since I do not have enough level to unlock the feature. In such cases, a guide to read in advance would be very helpful.

First off TONS of help and you guys gave me a warm greeting and have helped me out a good amount even though Iam only 3 days old. Thanks for the help and I guess maybe a guide for what features are unlocked and what level and such.

BUT none the less Iam very grateful for the help!

Everything looks great; thanks for all of the help!  I just started and signed up for some of your programs.

I have one suggestion to make things a little easier, as described in the Suggestions forum: http://eusforum.com/index.php/topic,8573.0.html

In short: a lot of the programs require only your name and ID link, so I thought it might streamline things a little to have a single signup link for all of the programs.

But even so, everything here is really helpful; thanks a lot, y'all!

The information that I've received so far would be of great assistance ... if I were level 5.  More emphasis needs to be given for the first week of a citizens life.  At that point in a player's game, he can only watch as his wellness goes the tubes as their are very few jobs that will actually pay for Q1 food, let alone any food that would actually increase wellness.  Train, and his wellness goes down by two every day!  Unless a player is diligent in uncovering the various tricks to balancing health, income, and work/training squirreled away in various posts scattered around the board, they will loose interest and quit, figuring that the game is already nothing more than an on-line ponzi scheme and they're at the bottom.  "Welcome exploited worker/meat shield."  There should be a post that outlines what a player should do, step by step, over the first week of life.
 
 Second, the GUI for eRepublic is not the most user friendly or intuitive by a long shot (Who would think that "Home" and "Profile" would be different?). Combine that with the shorthand lingo that has evolved between the longer running players and its pretty confusing for the n00b.  A topic that explains the main GUI's in detail, rather than the animations the game uses to explain things while blocking out the panel in question would be helpful.

Some of the info was pretty helpful, but I've found it frustrating that things like the sign-up sheets for Meals on Wheels and the eUnited States Training division don't work. Also, I have yet to year back from the free moving ticket program, so I'm stuck in Virginia.  :-\

So far my introduction into eRepublik has been greatly assisted by McFarland Construction and the eUSA Welcoming Committee.  Both of these have been sources that have pointed me in a direction that is productive and helped me to learn about how to play the early stages of the game.  These forums are very helpful and give me a place to have my questions answered.
