Article
Hello again,
Yeah, it's really me. I know I shouldn't be writing this because I already said bye to the game. But as a few of you know all this time I was 2-clicking and I still am. Well, I'm still kind of active in Skype, and I still sometimes join IRC, but just because of my friends in there. Aaaaaaand because of OF alliance, which one is kinda like my kid (I know, I know... but you love your kids no matter what). Now, why am I writing this article? As the headline already says it's about the famous topic of these days - reset of primera. I always had my opinion about this case, which I even tried to share with Rail himself. And so I got a chance to present it for all of you now.
But first of all, I'd like to answer questions which I got when some people saw me rolling around again. My life is good, I've more time to spend for my other hobbies when I left e-sim. And no, even now I don't think that I wasted my time while playing this game. I met a lot of new people, I learned a lot about other countries and their citizens, I had a lot of fun in here and most importantly, it was a good chance to improve some of my skills which really going to help me in real life. To be fair, some of them already helped. So I will never regret the time I spent in here...
And this brings us to the topic of the restart. The majority of players of e-sim are surely against it - and that's understandable. You all have spent a lot of time for this game, to improve your characters, your military units, your companies, even your countries, just like me. Most of you are shouting in the comments section that whether admin would decide to restart the game, you wouldn't play it. Well, I wouldn't too, but then think again, haven't you got what you come for already? You came to this game to have some fun, to help your country, maybe to meet new people too and if you are still in here, I believe you got it otherwise you would have left it in a first week. So why you are still in here? Because of your old characters who represent the time you spent in here, the fun and success you had. After restart it would all be gone and you can't agree with that idea. You wouldn't return, but why it is so bad? Maybe because it isn't?
A lot of you are crying and crying about how bad this game is, how admin can't run the game, how developers don't do anything. Lastly, how fast this game is dying. But this game is bad and dying not because of admin or devs, it is like that because of YOU. Old players are like spirits of this game, who can't leave it and keeps wandering around making this game a dark, repelling place, where no newbie wants to stay. You demand more and more out of this game, and from the admin and developers at the same time, what places them under immense pressure. They are simply no longer able to satisfy you because you already got everything what you could get from this game. But again, you are still here, you are ruling your countries, you are running military units, you are leading the markets while not giving any space for new players to breath. Like it wouldn't be enough, they hear how bad this game is wherever they go... And therefore game dies.
So, what's my point here? To keep a game fresh and alive, players rotation is needed. Instead of trying to find a new ways how to make this game profitable again by adding new ways to purchase things for real life money, admin should close all 3 servers, spend some time on improving the game code and open one new server again. Most loyal players will stay in the game no matter what and without a bunch of useless crying oldies we could see a new generation of players who would keep this game fun for at least one more year.
Players hate it - but it's the best choice for the game itself. And I really hope Admin won't listen to the players this time and will do it. I'm not talking about the restart of suna like - that idea sucks as it changed nothing and the only point of it was the new countries who would have a fair chance to develop. I don't agree with that idea either..
I've more to say regarding this topic for sure, but it is already a wall of text which majority of you are not even going to read, so I will finish here and will answer some random comments if I will feel that the answer is needed. Thank you for those who read this and to answer your last question, no, I'm not staying. I will continue to play as a 2-clicker till I will decide otherwise.

If, after reading this article, you started to hate me (or at least hate me more), I invite you to a channel called #rkz which is dedicated for hating me. (Powered by

The picture below is taken from Facebook itself and therefore it doesn't break any of your stupid Muslim-like rules (I think Staff really misunderstood the meaning of nudity there).

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.
