The suggestion for item durabilty/repair is a way to keep the game fair. What do I mean with fair? There are some people with much gold that can easy earn BH. Or people that had a bot and invited eg 141 layers (I don't say this people are bad, I hail them because they help a lot in the community) But they will have big advantages, they will get strong equipment and it will last forever. Because of that the players who couldn't earn much BH's or couldn't invite much people in the game will get in a hole. The others have so much stronger equipment so it will cost them a lot of money to get 1 BH.
So I would like to set an item durability and the option to repair it, another good reason why you should ad this is because after a while people will have full Q5 equipement and then their goal is achieved (maybe) and the game (maybe) will get lamer for them and that can cause 2 thing
1. People start to spam articles to complain
2. People will quit the game
How to repair the item?
It will be an option in the equipment menu. You need to have got 2 items from the same quality/class, eg a q1 offhand compass.
Then you will have to set them both in a box, you need to pay 25% of the average auction price from that day and the health of the items will increase with 10% debuff. Here's an example:
You have 2 q1 compasses, one of 37% health and one of 20% health, the average auction price for a 100% health compass is 10g. You need 2.5g for utting this items together. If you do it you should have 57% health but because the 10% debuff of repairing you only have 51.3% health, or (this is an option admin can chose) 51% health.

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.
