No hate in the comments...Let's do this!
---
I guess most of you noticed something was going on with stock market yesterday. SC values rocketed to dozens of millions. My shares suddenly had a value of 11 millions. It was crazy.
Yet it's no news that share value in Primera is bugged - every now and then it goes up (sometimes down). But never ever have i seen it go that high.
Anyways, why i'm bringing this up?
Back when Ipsiart (God rest his GOA-soul even though he's still playing so i guess it's not really proper to talk about him like he's dead) was still commanding our server we had some conversations with him about what devs are trying to do with the stock market and discussing how it could be improved, so the whole module would become more fair and not an object of cheating and stealing.
All that "cleaning stock market up" should've started with getting rid of needless (banned, inactive) shares. I guess share-people remember how in the good old times it was possible to ask Ipsi to simply delete banned shares. That obviously lead to some people getting rich easy. However, the idea that devs were working on was that CEOs should be able to ask GOA/s to put inactive (3 months and longer i believe it was) and banned shares on sell for their estimated value. People would actually have to buy the shares and no one would get stinking rich because the player with 60% pack got banned and his shares deleted. Thumbs up to that idea!
And obviously it would've meant that CEOs of big stock companies would be able to deal with their biggest problem - inactive shares. In many old SCs 80% of the shares are inactive and will never become active. This means progress is slow (voting for something takes the maximum 24 hours) and dividends can't be paid since most of it goes to the people that aren't really even there.
But now we get to the point and i ask:
I mean, the events of me and Ipsi speaking happened what, a year ago? It seemed like the devs are 2 weeks away from cracking the case. Then it was a month, two months, six months away. And now they seem to have moved on to other projects and forgot about that. Even Ipsi has quit in the mean time.
I can't see into their office so i can only say how it looks like from here - and it doesn't look good.
Please developers, get back on track.
Thank you for attention.

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.
Take part in numerous events for the E-Sim community.
