Many new players seem to go through period of frustration that they will gain strength and economic skill slowly and they will never seem to catch up to older players or they will never be considered a tank. However strength and economic skill are designed for new players to catch up to the older players.
Even though they what is considered a high strength slowly goes up a the eWorld progresses generally 1000 strength is when players are considered tanks. It takes 93 training sessions to reach 1000 strength. In the same 93 days a 1000 strength player will only gain 327 strength. While 3 months may seem like a long time you will make greater increases than the older players.
Economic skill also is designed to let the new players catch up to the old players. It takes 31 days working to reach skill level 6, in the same amount of time a skill level 6 will have just made it to skill level seven.
So patience is the key to those aspiring to be a tank. Remember you will never be as strong as the active people born before you but you will be able to close the gap if you train everyday. In the meantime you could find other ways to play the game, join us on IRC , start a company , or get a job with the US government
For anyone that wants to see how long it takes to make it to a certain strength or economic skill I have set up a public spreadsheet that list the stats well into 500 days of training and working. It can be found here
Yours truley

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
