Hi Everyone! Some of you probably remember me from a few years ago. I wanted to come back to ECC and start again playing MC (I haven't played in over a year :O!) I've been having a quick browse around the forum and it seems like quite a lot has changed, and I seem to be a Builder again! I'm being a bit lazy I know, but I wondered if someone would sum up the key changes or tell me what's still the same! I'm looking forward to playing with you all again, TaylorBros22 P.S. Just gonna tag a couple people who I remember from way back @Ladyvamptress @ClarinetPhoenix @AdmiralD (apologies if I'm not allowed to tag staff!)
Hi, I just started playing again and a few things have changed that come to the top of my head at first. Now, nether stars are earned through xp and not voting. Also, the map was completely reset as well as everyone's ranks. So it's more of a fresh start but you still will have all your features! If you need help starting again in game feel free to shoot me a pm and I can give you some things to get you going
It is great to see you back Taylor! The Wiki is probably the very best place to take a look since so many things have changed, including the rules!
Wiki is great place to find Pretty Much all info. I wasnt there before the reset but id gladly Help. So if you see me online always Feel free to pm questions to me
Welcome back! It’s good to see you playing again. So a short summary, main couldn’t be converted to 1.13+ without the risk of things going corrupt or whatever and we lose everything. So Andrew let the community vote and most voted to just make a new main and archive the old main so we could still visit and work on builds if we wanted to. So all features you had on old main was transferred over to new main however, everything else like ranks, money, etc was wiped and we start over again. Which I mean is good, after years and years... good to be able to start over and work your way back up I guess. So this is why you are a builder again. You can visit old main by doing /server archive or jump right in and play new main by doing /server main. Now we also have VMR (Vanilla Mine Run) /server vmr. Which is a fun quest type server. Each week there is a new theme announced and you play normal MC to try and get what you need to make money and get in the top 10! The top 10 gets “points” and the top 5 get the points and ecd that is given on the forum. It’s kind of fun. There is also /booklet in vmr and you can collect all the items. Now if you finish your booklet and you get 100 points in vmr, you can apply for prestige for each one I believe. I’ll explain prestige in a min. We have skyblock too! /server skyblock. Go there and do /is and just build your island up. If you get 15,000 island levels in the first month you get a prestige. I think you can get a couple prestiges from your island levels, but you’ll have to read up on that cause I’m a bit confused on all that, lol. So what is this prestige I’ve been talking about. There are different ways to get one and you can get more than one (I think you can get maybe 6 or 7 right now?). Each prestige gives you like 5% more on your sell hand. One way is on main, ranking to ecolegend. Then the ways I mentioned in vmr and skyblock. I’m still not sure all the ways, I’ve not been playing as much as I used to, but it’s worth reading up on prestige. No more voting, you can now get nstars with your exp and we have a main casino at spawn on main and skyblock that used nstars to gamble to win prizes! You can of course save your nstars or buy them from other players to get star tools. Couple new star tools were added, like the star trident. That’s all I can really think of. Everything else is pretty much the same or minor tweaks. It would be good reading the wiki, it’s been updated too and packed full of useful info.
Its actually 25,000 in the first and second months now. The details of all that found here; https://ecocitycraft.com/forum/wiki/skyblock-medal-application/ Prestige Information in general; https://ecocitycraft.com/forum/wiki/ecocitycraft-prestige-levels/ That wiki page is the source of updated information regarding Prestige, how to earn it as well as explaining what it does. Going on that, we have a new Wiki. Its now hosted on the website instead of a MediaWiki and a ton of revamping and updating has been done on it in the last 2 years. Here's the wiki index which currently links a lot of the useful stuff. https://ecocitycraft.com/forum/wiki/index/ Trade signs are no longer a thing, they're dead basically. We use Chestshops now. There's a page on that too and how to set them up! https://ecocitycraft.com/forum/wiki/chestshops/ -The economy for main is different as well, but lively. You'll want to get in-game to get a feel for it. Basically nether stars are the only way to "sell" and "buy" exp, and the market is sometimes quite volatile. Prestige also adds a whole new level to shop competition. -Speaking of shops, we have a new market in a new-old revamped spawn. There are only 10 stalls now, and the activity requirements are enforced and much stricter(new shop rules). -There is a recently built brand new Tutorial for new players. -Star crates are gone, well, not really, you can't buy them in the store anymore. You can however win star crate keys from the Star Casino if you're very lucky. -There were a few rule changes regarding alts and towns, as well as some new policies implemented regarding town contracts and town re-claims. The server atmosphere is fairly chill as well, and we have new players joining daily. Everyone is just here to have a good time. Its difficult to sum up ALL the changes in one post, there have been so many over the past 1-2 years. I suggest taking a look at the wiki, getting in-game to get a feel for things and also viewing accepted Suggestions. A lot of game changes are suggested and accepted via that method. Welcome back as well, good to see another old face.
Thanks for your reply, I'll shoot you a PM if we're on at the same time Thanks for your response Admiral, glad to see you still play! Thanks Frail, I'll message you if I ever need help Hey Lady! Thanks for all of the info, means a lot that you've spent the time to reply Hopefully see you online soon! (P.S. I wish I could vote your post Friendly, Like, Winner and Informative all at once!) Ah good to hear from you Clar, I wasn't sure whether you'd be too busy to reply! Glad to see you're still on staff too. Hopefully see you in game at some point soon. (Also wish I could vote your post multiple things!) Thanks Canadian Thanks for all the replies guys, planning to hop in game either tonight or tomorrow - see you all then -Taylor
No problem. I missed stuff and got a few things wrong, but clar got it. It’ll just take some time to get back in the swing of things I’m sure.
Oh, not sure if anyone mentioned, but the ability to buy spawners on main was added. Not sure if they will stay or go, as Andrew said he’s going to monitor them to see how they go and the impact they have on the economy. Anyways, I hope you get back into playing ECC again, loads to keep your attention. If you need any help or anything, let me know. I use discord now, so feel free to add me if you have an account Ladyvamptress#2996
Discord is the place to be for all the instant news and happenings as well since ECC has its own official Discord.
