- First steps in eDominations - 9 - 01 Apr 25 00:38
Hello dear Admin;
Thank you for accepting my interview request.
Before we dive into our conversation, I’d like to congratulate you on the 8th anniversary of the game. I also want to express my gratitude for creating this game that has fostered such an active community in the virtual space. I genuinely hope your efforts continue and that your attention towards the game remains steadfast, providing fair feedback to the requests of players from different countries.
If you have any opening remarks, feel free to share them, otherwise, let’s jump into the interview and your questions.
1) Would you like to introduce yourself (name, age, profession) or do you prefer to remain anonymous?
Hello everyone, I am known to everyone as eDominationsCM aka Community Manager in our discord server and obviously I am responsible for the matters related to community and expansion of awareness regarding eDominations. At this point I would like to thank you for taking the initiative to interview us as Administrators, I speak on behalf of the game so I won’t dive into details about me personally. Both of us (Admins) share a passion about online games and computer science in overall, therefore we do our best to make our dreams for eDominations to come true using every possible knowledge and power we have.
2) Are you the sole owner of the game, or do you have partners? Do you manage the game alone, or is it overseen by a team under your leadership?
Currently eDominations is owned by one sole person, but as stated in your previous question I am also participating in the Adminstration team as an equal member. It is understandable that it would be impossible for a single person to handle all these daily requests for development, assistance of players, expanding our presence in the web and creating entirely unique content altogether. Aside of us the 2 Administrators there are also third party partners which assist us in many aspects such as Graphic Designers and specialist of other fields (marketing/advertisement) etc.
3) If you have noticed that almost 80% of the players of this style of games are constant and only move between games, what factor do you think can increase the number of players in your game in the future?
eDominations is indeed part of a very specific browser game genre, which simulates Real Life using countries which develop their own communities including a mix of economical-political and of course military module. Despite the genre is not one of the most popular in the gaming industry, as you stated very on point has loyal crowd which seek the best experience. For us this becomes a challenge to convince this loyal and hard-to-leave the genre crowd become a member of our big community and help us develop what they have imagined as the most amazing eWorld to compete and create a unique game play experience overall.
Many factors could be taken into consideration in order to increase the population of eDominations, our focus relies on all of them simultaneously. Starting with the highest priority – the players themselves make the game much more interesting than anything else could do, as we increase the population of dedicated daily active players, the more people are convinced to become member of a group and create countries which take action against other countries or even create alliances to compete in the world scheme.
Graphics and presentation of events – all sort of activities that increase play time and diversify the daily routine of a player have also grabbed our attention and we are working on improving. Most of you have seen the events pop up more often, with increased rewards and decreased timers. In our latest article published as Admins we have clearly mentioned that to celebrate the 8th anniversary we will introduce you 8 events during April – some of them entirely new or presented in unique way than ever before.
4) There’s a persistent concern among players that game admins might intervene in gameplay, leading to injustice and public discontent. For example, supporting specific countries, groups, or individuals during certain periods. Can you address this worry from the players’ perspective?
There is no such thing as a difficult question and we are always ready to reply, at this point I would like to ask you to join our point of view. The amount of work that we put in eDominations is enormous and we are grateful for the response of players so far! We as Adminstration support only eDominations – this is our side, why would we prioritize the need of any certain group or individuals? We have seen many conspiracy theories pop up now and then, there are always some complaints usually when we decide to be strict to everyone to maintain a balance, but we always stand by our decisions and are supported by our work and development of the game.
5) What’s your favorite food?
I always enjoy some grilled meat, preferably a steak or lamb chops alongisde a really cold beer.
6) Who are your favorite singers, and what song do you enjoy listening to the most?
I am not passionate about a specific music genre, I can listen to a variety of music depending on the occasion and music taste of people around me.
7) Are you a fan of movies and TV shows? If so, could you recommend a few movies or series you’ve seen and loved, along with your favorite male and female actors?
I used to watch more movies and TV shows years ago, when I had more free time in my schedule and I enjoy them a lot. I would say mostly action, sci-fi and mystery would be my to go genres when I pick a movie to watch. I do not have any favorite actor, my only prefenrece are shows coming from early 2000s or before, most of the modern shows are not my type at all. If I could summarize I am big fan of old HBO shows.
8) What’s your favorite clothing color?
I guess my answer will be boring but dark blue or black.
9) What sport do you enjoy the most?
Watching I must say football and basketball, it is also much of a typical answer but those are my favourite. Lately I rarely play any sports myself, but when I do usually it is basketball.
10) Which football team do you support?
Barcelona FC
11) If your game were a small galaxy, would you consider yourself its creator or just a part of it?
eDominations is truly a small galaxy itself, because you can create your own world within our game and choose who will be part of your world as well. Some people decide to conquer the world themselves, others are looking for people to share their view of the world. We as Admins try to provide you with more tools to craft your world better and enhance your experience, I am not sure if we call ourselves creators or simple observers who assist whenpossible according to your own needs.
12) If you travelled to a beach resort and noticed that all the tourists were playing “eDominations” instead of enjoying their time, how would you feel? Do you anonymously encourage them to buy game packs?
Certainly this question has caught me off-guard, well at first I would be glad to see everyone at this beach has a tab on their mobile browser playing eDominations – I can not lie! Never the less I would say that there must always be a balance between Real Life and entertainment. I would not interfere in their decision to buy a package, but it would help us visit a beach ourselves and maybe have a few days of vacation too! I am kidding of course, there is no such thing as holidays for Admins!
13) Which type of users do you think contributes more to the game’s development:
- Players who consistently complain about the game.
- Players who give unusual suggestions.
- Players who always praise the admins.
- Active chat users.
- Silent players who just play the game.
- Players who publish good articles daily.
- Barbod while watching a movie.
If I had to pick one of these possible type of players exclusively, then I would go for players who publish good articles daily. We love those who simply play actively the game, but creating content is necessary in every form article/politics/wars and this behavior is what engages more players with one another.
13) If you were to write a book with five chapters on achieving success in life, what would you title each chapter?
Knowledge, consistency, self-worth, dream big, right people.
14) What does happiness mean to you?
Happiness for me personally would be doing what I love, how I want and without restrictions. Freedom of choice and creation makes a human complete.
15) If you had 24 hours of free time without the internet, how would you plan your day?
Definitely go to a trip without internet access at a destination that is not crowded with a lot of people and amazing nature to enjoy.
16) Please answer the following questions with a simple yes or no:
- Do you have plans to change your admin avatar account in the game in the near future?
Yes
- Have you ever made a decision in the game that you later regretted?
No
- Have you ever had players give you suggestions for game changes that you thought were for their own personal gain rather than trying to improve the gameplay?
Yes
-Have you ever come across funny chats in the game chat box that genuinely made you laugh?
Yes
- Do you enjoy drinking coffee?
Yes
- Can virtual friendships develop into real and deep connections?
Yes
- Considering that showing the name of someone who puts DS on the wars can cause verbal conflicts between players and create wars between countries in the game, which will make the game more interesting, do you have a plan to show the names?
Yes
17) Please share a picture with us; it can be an artwork, an image of a famous person, a logo, a car, or anything else.

I would like to thank you once again for the wonderful interview and genuine questions that you prepared for us, in order to learn more about our goals regarding eDominations and also learn more about us personally. We hope that you continue your series of interviews and journalist career in eDominations with success!
