AEM RANK COUPONS:
EXPIRES: July 5th 11:59PM EST.
Quick link here: www.tinyurl.com/aemredeem

We will be allowing AEM players to redeem the equivalent of the rank that used to be on their AEM survival account in USD on our store to help them get started on ECC. Hopefully this will help some of the players out and will compensate at least a little regarding the ranks you feel you lost when AEM went into closure.

If you had any of the following ranks on AEM Survival please follow the steps below to receive a coupon for the same USD amount to be used on our store:

Extreme - $200
Ultimate - $100
Premium - $50
Elite - $30
Supporter - $15
VIP - $5

Follow these steps to receive your coupon:

1. Log in to our server via mc.ecocitycraft.com
2. Use command /aemredeem (this won't do anything other than internally log that your account has used the command while online).
3. Log out of our server.
4. Ensure you have a forum account on www.ecocitycraft.com using the same username as your Minecraft account.
5. Forum PM andrewkm with the subject line AEM RANK and request a coupon for the rank you had.
6. That's it. You will get a reply with a coupon code for the amount of your previous rank that you can use for ECC features via https://shop.ecocitycraft.com
7. Please note coupons can only be used in the "Features" category: https://shop.ecocitycraft.com/category/289834
8. WARNING! Coupons can only be used once. If you get something with a coupon the remainder won't stay on that coupon so be sure to use as much of it up as possible right away.

We experienced several restarts today due to several broken systems:
- Anti Cheat
- Extended Anti Cheat
- Survival Games
- Procotol Lib
- LWC
- other plugins.

We believe all issues should now be taken care of and fixed. Sorry for the continuous down times. ECC was quite a mess today.

@JamieSinn and I have lately been constantly working on backend stuff that really hasn't been affecting game play much other than fixing bugs, so today we felt like doing something random and new. Also, I love elytras lol <3

We made two new star items...

Star Elytra:
An Elytra with Unbreaking 10 & tons of novelty enchantments on it.
Cost: 500,000 EXP via /warp starshop



Star Rocket:
A firework rocket with infinite usage during Elytra flight. Never breaks, never depletes.
Cost: 500,000 EXP via /warp starshop



Enjoy and fly safe!

We have decided to let users purchase certain sections of Spawn.
A very detailed Wiki page has been written up here that will inform you on everything regarding the current available Exclusive Spawn Areas: https://ecocitycraft.com/wiki/index.php?title=Exclusive_Spawn_Areas

There are many areas around spawn that are simply empty and have nothing going on. We're going to offer these areas up for sale on our EcoCityCraft Shop as permanent purchases (not subscription based!). Once you buy it, it's yours. Should anyone else want that area ever again they will have to buy it from the current owners with EcoDollars.

Spawn Statue medals have now changed to Spawn Area medals, and are once again available as we are now offering more Spawn Areas for sale.



The first thing we will list for sale will be the Spawn Shops located at the following warps:
/warp shop1 - /warp shop2 - /warp shop3
/warp shop4 - /warp shop5 - /warp shop6

I would love to auction these off somehow, however BuyCraft doesn't offer an auction system. Instead I have opted a different strategy to slightly mimic an auction. I will be listing the areas at excessively expensive prices. I will then drop the prices by 10% constantly every few hours or so. You can either buy it when you feel the price is right, or keep waiting for it to continuously drop until it's something you feel is reasonable. Good luck!

New spawn has now been launched!
Stay tuned for news on BuyCraft shop subscriptions regarding exclusive spawn location shops!

Hey everyone! I know you're all anxiously waiting for us to complete various projects including the AEM Skyblock integration as well as the new spawn. In the meantime we'd like to launch a little bonus for everyone. A fully rendered map is now available via https://maps.ecocitycraft.com & https://ecocitycraft.com/maps

These maps will be updated every 30 days or so. It is not a live updated map due to the performance problems we had many years ago running tile updates on player actions. Doing so wouldn't be realistic with a map and server of this size.

The setup we have launched now will run smoothly with no problems. It's pretty big though, almost 50GB in image files therefore each monthly update will take the map offline for 9-12 hours for a re-render. Furthermore we've nerfed the image quality slightly to lower image size and help users with slower internet connections, as a full quality render would be around 610GB . The quality still looks great for what it is!

Enjoy the map. <3

Hey everyone,

I'm going to hopefully address some questions and concerns everyone has in this news post to clear up any confusion on what is going on with AEM (a server previously owned by Sway) and why we have taken over it, as well as what our plans are with it's future.

Many of you have missed the podcast JamieSinn and I hosted yesterday via ECC Discord so hopefully this thread will get you up to speed.

Long story short, ECC now ownes AEM (www.aemservers.net).

To give everyone a little background information, Sway and myself have been IRL friends for many, many years. The server he owned used to peak around 1,500~ and now has only been peaking around 15-20 players (It's unreal how such massive networks / games can die out over time without new stuff through Minecrafts decline). Our community has had something similar happen, just not with nearly as many players, peaking at about 300~ in its prime and now peaking at 40-50 players.

Unfortunately due to IRL circumstances and other factors, Sway has decided to step down and shut AEM Network down. He reached out to me to discuss his situation and after much discussion I decided to take over the network as it would absolutely suck to see his years of dedication simply vanish. It's the least I can do for a good friend. Before I go any further I'd like everyone on AEM to please understand that running a community isn't easy & simple. It can really become a major drag on your life, far more than you can ever imagine. To give a little information on my own Minecraft run, I myself have been in the community for 7 years+, have gone through sponsoring major projects including the creation of Spigot, participating in nearly every Minecon, running booths there for Spigot as well as hosting companies, funding dozens of developers and their startups,...

Congratulations to all our April voting winners!
