Article
Friends,
Last week, the e-Sim admin team announced a major round of updates that would include the need to “reset some stats of all of you to 0 on 3th October.” Ignoring the fact that “3th” is not a real thing, the article directed any questions to the Wiki page for the Suna reset (which was later re-titled to “Primera Reset” ). They did not, at that time, allow for article comments or respond to private messages.
Today, they posted an update addressed to the “experienced players” of Primera. The main point of the article was to clarify that the reset will only affect stats such as strength, economy skill, and total damage. The reset would not, they stressed, delete gold or items. It is clear that this article was meant to calm the fears of the hundreds of players who have written, commented, and shouted in opposition to the upcoming reset. What is also clear is that the admins still don’t understand why people are opposed to it.
People are upset because they feel that their hard work will be thrown away for nothing. For example, Volitza joined the game on Day 1 and reached Econ Skill 21.0 today. My friend Met3 joined on day 171 and has never missed a day of work. On October 4, they will produce the same amount of goods as someone who joins tomorrow. The world’s leader in total damage, jakegate7, has done more than 4.6 billion damage since he joined on Day 63 and strongly opposes the reset. These players are upset because they have invested their time and heart into this game and will get nothing in return.
The players like Orlandio, gilads576210, and myself who have reached the front page with our articles against the reset are not ignorant or uninformed. We knew before this latest article that the reset would not take away our gold. I did not see one article or shout related to the loss of gold, equipment, items, or companies. The latest update from Admin News shows clearly that they do not listen to the concerns of their players.
People who have been playing this game since Day 1, or even Day 500, did not log in to work, train, and fight, daily to prepare for a “two weeks left to win the server” announcement. They were told that the work they put into this game and the stats they accumulate would not go away as long as they play this game. Moving the goalposts after nearly three years of Primera is unfair to those who have invested so much time, attention, and even money. It is a serious breach of trust.
This won’t be the first broken promise from Admin, of course. Railman said that e-Sim would never sell gold for RL money. Then when Secura was announced, he said Primera would never sell gold. Today you can exchange 30 USD for 100 Gold. Maybe his own focus on money led him to assume that everyone else cares only about money as well. He’s wrong. It is clear that hundreds of players still care about this game. Railman isn’t one of them.

Final Thoughts from Primera Citizens (11 years ago)
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.
