Just wanted to let everyone know that I will be away this month starting in a few days. I am flying to Europe for a few weeks and will return in the New Year (January 1st-3rd). I will be between several countries and for the first time am not taking a laptop with me, going on a real vacation finally (something I haven't done in over 6-7 years). I will still have my cellphone and will be able to attend to the following:

- Check the forums & attend to my inbox.
- Respond via Discord in regards to any serious situations.
- [email protected] email will be fully functional for assistance with any BuyCraft purchases you make (responses may take up to 24-48 hours so please be patient). Please note this email as always is prioritized specifically for financial payment support.
- Server maintenance and hardware monitoring will be done and I'll have full access to everything needed for any situation so no worries there.
- And yes, I will try to throw some sports up if I can

@JamieSinn will be around as well and he has just as much access as myself to basically everything. As well don't forget we have an amazing staff team and our @Moderator 's would be happy to help you with anything you require throughout this month. As well don't forget about our Help/Support section on the forums, which is probably the fastest way for you to get help.

Anyways, just wanted to let you guys know why I'll be MIA. Big Christmas holiday with the entire family Happy holidays everyone!

PS: In addition, would like to add that in December our main focus will be 1.13 preparation. I have an entire game-mode ready to go already (no not Skyblock, another one we're launching first), but this won't get released until the New Year (early January) & until we have updated all our plugins and custom code to...

- The SG competition for this current month of December will work a bit differently than previous ones. We will not be resetting the leader boards nor will we actually host any leader boards at all. The results will come at the end of the competition.

Competing is simply, for every SG game you win, you get 1 point. The top 10 SG game winners will get rewarded with the prizes listed below.

This is also the very absolute last chance to get the 2017 SG service medal if you don't already have it. Once 2017 is over, you will never have the opportunity to earn it again.


- Maps have been reduced from 4 to 1.

We have made the decision to drop the amount of SG maps on ECC from 4 to 1 due to player count and other factors. Having 4 maps made SG quite deserted, as well as encouraged boosting since it was quite easy. We've reduced the maps to just 1 so we can increase traffic and make boosting a little harder than before, specifically during this SG competition. We honestly think 1 map will simply work far better than the previous 4 with the current state of SG traffic, therefore...

A few VMR & Booklet changes to announce.

First, we have change the two VMR medals we have:



Our Booklet medal is our very first rare animated forum medal & will be the only one of it's kind we offer

Next, our VMR achievement adjustment suggestions are now being accepted here.
The current achievement requirements are as such:

Achievements will eventually be trade-able for certain things on ECC.
We have yet to decide what this will be but we will definitely have a use for them.

And as promised, very shortly we will have an announcement regarding our new crate system for VMR so that you have a chance at getting those unobtainables for Booklet.

Congratulations to all our November voting winners!

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



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...
