    Hello and welcome to ECC, as well as any seasoned players of ECC stumbling upon this!

    ECC is a rather unique and difficult server environment to learn how to thrive and have fun with, and you may have gotten the basics down at this point and started questioning what is the purpose or end goal of this grinding for ECD, and what else is available to maximize your enjoyment here. In this post I will aim to answer some of these questions and expand upon these concepts.

    As you've probably heard, ECC is a hardcore economy survival server. It is not hardcore in any survival sense, in fact quite the opposite, the surviving is extremely easy and the term is referring to the economy aspect. ECC is unique in that it has its own economic system that you will eventually begin to grasp over time, and is one of the major appeals of ECC. The other major appeal is the community and being able to engage and interact with the community through the game, discord or forums.

    I'll start with the economy and in-game purpose and goals. There are a lot of ways to make money or ECD in game, but I will not cover this as you are most likely already aware of some of these since you are here. Instead I will focus on purpose and utility of that money you earn. ECD can be used in a variety of ways, such as applying for various applications on the forum which acts as a way to make progress towards prestiges. It is also useful for businesses like shops and trade signs, loaning it out to people through contracts to make interest, or purchasing land or if you need to rent or buy tools. There is a lot more you can do to involve yourself in the economy aspect of the server, you simply need to find what's out there and see what you enjoy the most. You can even invest in or sell features using ECD through the ECC shop!

    It is useful to be aware that the main server is not the only available server on ECC, there are other game modes available if it is not your cup of tea. The other game mode servers ECC currently offers is Skyblock (/sb) and VMR (/vmr), you can find more information about each on the forums Wiki, which is an incredibly useful resource that is always being improved upon. There is also occasional events that happen on the server that you can look out for, keep an eye on the discord for announcements regarding these if that interests you!

    One of the most intriguing aspects and the main way you will be able to find enjoyment out of ECC is the community aspect. There are many different people from various walks of life and experiences that play on ECC, don't be afraid to reach out to someone and just have a conversation, a majority of the time you will have a very positive experience by doing so. Ask around and see what there is you can get involved in with the community, explore the forums and contribute to forum discussions. One of the best ways to get to know people in the community is ask to see if there's anything you can help with in-game like any projects they're working on, working together with someone and making your experience a social one can be very rewarding and engaging. What's also important is to not be afraid to reach out to anyone if you have questions about a certain aspect of the server or game as most are more than willing to lend a hand. Most importantly, have a positive outlook and be proactive in finding new things to do and ways to have fun here!

    While this tutorial is more broad and covers more general concepts its my hope that it can be a useful resource to new players in the future and old players alike who feel like they are running dry on purpose on ECC or getting burnt out, there is always opportunities and fun experiences to be had, sometimes it just takes a bit of searching.
