Cactus, cactus, and more cactus!
This week will be a simple yet interesting one.

Sale prices are as follows:
Code:
  cactus: 1.0

Tips:
- Find a desert and get some cactus; obviously.
- Go far, further, and even further to be hard to find.
- Do what you gotta do to farm more. Get creative, automate, etc.
- Protect your farms with your friends and possible team mates.
- Raid other users farms and destroy their beds to take over the farm!

Personally, I don't like half finishing stuff we do on ECC, and to be honest, VMR gave that vibe off to me. Ever since it's release we've had one serious problem:

Why play VMR if you're:
- Joining in the middle of the week
- Can't put forth the time throughout the following week to be competitive.

It just seemed incomplete to us and lacking the proper motivation to join VMR if it's mid-week or if you can't compete, I mean let's be real, why else join the server if there's nothing left in it for you that week. Eventually though, we came up with a great solution, one that allows you to totally avoid the entire current VMR theme and let you do your own thing. A great reason to join, other than to compete for the current weeks points/ecodollar prizes.

Introducing, the VMR Booklet! (Literally inspired by the pokedex from pokemon - yes I'm being serious)
A one-of-a-kind completely custom made for ECC system (@JamieSinn spent days on end coding this from the ground up, make sure to thank him when you see him :happy:

You are now able to use the following commands while on the VMR server:
/booklet
/booklet status
/booklet <item> (Example: /booklet dirt)

The way the booklet works is very simple.
Sell any item to add it to your booklet. (regardless of what it's worth/etc, all items can be sold)

-All items are worth $0 VMRD and are allowed to be sold (other than the current theme's items, which can be sold for VMRD to work towards the current weeks leader board)
- When you sell an item, regardless of what it's worth, it will always be added to your booklet.
- Booklet updates are once every 5 minutes. Do not freak out when what you just sold hasn't yet been added to your personal booklet, the updates take place every 5 minutes :)

Nothing...
So, we've always had many various forum medals, and recently cleaned them up & made some changes.

I noticed one thing has always been missing though. We've never had medal recognition to appreciate and thank those who have supported our forums through the many years that they have been part of our community, and the many years they continued to stick around even if they left the game of Minecraft itself.

I've therefore decided to add a new shiny forum medal which is using a custom fully automated system and is based off trophy points.

Trophy Forum Medal Achievement:

Many have already earned this medal, and many are very close.
Once again, we all truly thank you for continuing to be a part of our forum community <3!
Just a quick nice update for all of you who like to earn forum trophy points :)
I have re-done the entire points system to follow the following earnings:

Code:
5
10
15
20
30
40
50
100
150
200
300
400
500
750
1000
1500
2000
3000
4000
5000

Many trophies have been remade, and some have had additions to their categories.
Further more I am working on adding several more trophies to make the whole points system complete.

Current categories:

- Post counts.
- Rating counts.
- Wagers won.
- Wagers placed. (new!)
- Wagered amount. (new!)
- Member length.
- In-Game Ranks achieved.
- EcoDollars stored in our forum bank. (new!)
- Joining our forums.
- Celebrating your first birthday on our forums.
- Acquiring the forum premium rank.
VMR anti-cheat has been tightened up severely, 15 new checks added, few mods disabled. We are continuing to monitor VMR cheating and doing what we can to block what we find. To avoid issues, play it the way it's meant to be played "Vanilla".
