DONATING HELP















1:FARMING!
In an economy server, farming can make or break your balance. It is not good to focus on only one crop, because prices are always changing. For Example, if your making a giant farm for pumpkins, within a week, they can be worth almost nothing.

2:LOTTO!
The lottery is also a make or break thing on Eco, which if done correctly could reap in thousands, to millions, to billions. If done incorrectly, you could lose EVERYTHING.
The lottery is a very manipulative thing, with many users using their own tactics. Here are mine, which I find to work.
1.Only throw in a tenth of your money. Many times, getting too cocky can break you.
2.Spread it out. Buying 20 at the last minute can be effective, but if you put in 5 every now and then, alot less people see it coming, and your tickets are not all in one place.
3.If you are poor, throw in a ticket every now and then. I went from a poor mayor who threw in 3 tickets, to a rich one who one 50k.

3:SCAMMING!
Scamming, although many precautions are taking here at eco, is something that happens on a daily basis. If you are careful, this should never happen to YOU.
a big mistake is buying something such as donations in game. Remember, it is NEVER guarranteed unless sold to you by Andrewkm himself. Anything you do is your own risk, and not the fault of Ecocitycraft. Take plenty of screenshots in big purchases. This is proof for the forums if you are scammed.

4:GRIEFING!
Griefing is maintained fairly well for such a big server, and it is very easy to avoid this problem. Towns are the best way to not get griefed. Although it is more expensive, it is protected. There is a chance that you will be griefed, but the town mayor, or you yourself could post a rollback request here: http://www.ecocitycraft.com/forum/forums/grief-report-rollback-requests.45/

5:MINING!
Mining is again, a big factor on economy servers. Your Town should have a local mine, and you might be able to make your own (Depending on your town's rules). There is also the Mining World, which is a little less as safe, but it is reset frequently, so theres more resources. Diamond is not the most valuable, but Redstone is! Mining is also a great way to earn EXP which can be sold!

6:BASIC RULES!
There are many simple rules you could keep in mind instead of keeping the whole rulebook in your head. These include:
No Graphic Skins that could cause a disturbance
No Spamming or advertising of other servers
Use a proper format when filing a request!
Do not grief in a town; Griefing in the wild is allowed, but frowned upon.
No Mini-Modding! (The Mods can do their job)
No Scamming (Self Explanatory)






7:AUCTIONS!
Auctioning is another awesome feature on EcoCityCraft! You can sell certain items starting at a set price. The only rules are:You cannot quit an auction once someone has bid on it! No mystery Auctions! No Scamming!

8:EVERYTHING YOU TOUCH MOVES!
This is a very annoying glitch that happens quite a bit. It can usually be removed by restarting your Minecraft. If that does not work, you could re-download it.

9:YOU CANT FIND SOMETHING ON THE WIKI!
The Main Page: (http://ecocitycraft.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page) has a table of contents, which should tell you where something is. There is also a tab on the side, which helps. The Wiki, is supposed to be easy to use.

10:A MOD DOESNT ANSWER YOUR PLEA FOR HELP!
Usually, moderators and admins are very busy, and if you ask for lwc removals or something of the sort in game, they will ignore you, because there is a format, and forums, to help you and the moderator.


DONATING HELP
First of all, understand that donations take time to process. Depending in what you want, there's plenty of options. Also understand that the best way to avoid getting scammed is to buy them yourself, but take screenshots in the case you pay in game money or them. EXTCOMMANDS popularly known for /repair. Can't repair enchanted unless you buy +. Has powertool and stack too.
