Dear Railman
In spite of your heavy efforts otherwise and to my great surprise, there's still plenty of people playing this server . Admittedly, the days of having 700+ votes to a poll (let's not even talk about days when you got 700+ votes to your article, that was before i joined the game
) are over. However, 430 people bothering to vote on a poll is still a very good result, considering the state this game is in and that global is at less than 20 votes.
To be honest, i have no idea why you decided it was such great of an idea to build 5 servers and leave them all unattended in the first place. As a result we don't have a single server operating on the level of complexity that Primera and Secura were just a year and a half ago. However, if my poll proved anything than that there's still plenty of people clinging to this game even if there's not many reasons to. If i were Admin i would take this hint and start listening to their suggestions about how to improve my game and what attractions to add. Players have been throwing out many simple suggestions that wouldn't take a lot of time or resources from your developer team (give us any sign that you are still at presence and interested and i will make you a list if necessary) but would highly improve this game. Devs are on your pay anyways (i mean, unless you fired them which would actually explain a lot) so why not ask them to do their job the fullest? After all, a more attractive game means more people willing to invest their money in it. I don't see a problem - do you?

P.S. I know a lot of people have been asking for merge for a long time now and it has had many popular polls (including one in gilad's newspaper and one in mine) and it does seem like the most reasonable thing to do at this point - heck, merge all the servers and we might actually get a THOUSAND active players.
But if Admin doesn't want to give us the merge then i think we remain satisfied if he just came back and started to build this game up again, as well. No pressure on the merge (altho it'd be the smart thing to do ).
P.P.S. Not sure if any of the staff members are in actual contact with Railman anymore but if you aren't then try to pass this article to one of the devs (if there is any left) and ask them to pass it to Rail.

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.
