This is it. The time has come. We all know that a game must have an end. It’s a rule of nature. But I hoped it wouldn’t be like that, not this way. This game I have loved so much, this game I spent so many hours playing, has become what it shouldn’t have become.
The message was beautiful : “no matter who you are, no matter where you come from, no matter how much money you have, be fun and you will have your spot with us, in this community”. But where is this spirit now? It's gone i guess, because i want to think it was here for a time.
First appeared this feeling that Poland will never lose, no matter what others countries could do. It was really difficult for me to learn that admins were not so impartial. I always defended them when they were so criticized because of the daily work they do. But I can’t do it anymore.
But now, the « coup de grâce » was delivered : “buy gold”. What a shame ! It’s the introduction of the IRL in the IG. The ring is broken. It’s too much for me.
Finally, this is not a critic. I’m just saying what this game has become doesn’t match what i’m looking for anymore. As it was the case with all the women I loved and whom have changed, time has come to go different ways. I’m not leaving angry. I’m just sad because the path was beautiful, because I have loved to be here, because I have loved to be a part of this community, because I was expecting an other end.
Truthfully yours,

Version française :
Nous y sommes. L’heure est arrivée. Nous savons tous qu’un jeu a une fin. C’est une loi de nature. Mais j’espérais que ce ne serait pas comme ça, pas de cette manière-là. Ce jeu que nous avons aimé, sur lequel nous avons passé de nombreuses heures, est devenu ce qu’il n’aurait jamais dû devenir.
Le message était pourtant beau : « Peu importe qui tu es, peu importe d’où tu viens, peu importe tes revenus, sois fun et tu as ta place ici, dans cette communauté ». Mais qu’en reste-t-il maintenant ? Un gâchis.
Premièrement est apparu ce sentiment que quoi que les autres pays fassent, la Pologne ne pourrait pas perdre. C’était déjà beaucoup de se rendre compte que l’impartialité des admis, tant critiqués et que j’ai pourtant défendus par rapport au travail qu’ils font quotidiennement, pouvait être remise en cause.
Mais ensuite le coup de grâce est arrivée : l’introduction du « buy gold ». Quelle horreur ! C’est l’introduction de l’IRL dans l’IG. C’est faire reposer une possible réussite dans le jeu sur une réussite monétaire qui lui est extérieure. Le cercle est brisé.
Dans le fond, je ne critique pas. Je dis simplement que ce que ce jeu est en train de devenir ne correspond plus à ce que j’en attends. Comme ce fut le cas avec toutes les femmes que j’ai aimées et qui ont changées, le moment est venu de nous séparer. Je ne pars pas en colère. Juste triste parce que le chemin était beau, parce que j’ai aimé être là, parce que j’ai aimé cette communauté, parce que je souhaitais que cela finisse différemment.
Affectueusement vôtre,
cocht

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.
