    As promised quite some time ago, we have finally put in a good several days work into the VMR game mode. We are now introducing a new VMR prestige as well as have fully fixed the entire VMR Booklet feature.

    Further more we have added our safe trade system via the /trade command to VMR. This will help users safely trade rare & unobtainable booklet items which can be found via rare crates. Keep in mind, /trade 'ing money is not possible in VMR. This is meant to be a vanilla game mode, as such, the /trade system was only added for users exchanging rare & unobtainable booklet items.

    And now, onto the good and bad news. We'll start with the bad.

    Bad news: Unfortunately, due to the fact the Booklet was incorrectly coded, we have had to run a full reset on it. Hours beyond hours went into trying to make our rewrite work with the previous setup, however, as the database system was completely broken, there is nothing that could have been done. We are very sorry about this and want you to rest assured it will never happen again.

    The following users have had their purchased rare keys regenerated. They are now available and in your account via VMR. Simply use /cc to use them.

    @ClarinetPhoenix - 122 rare keys
    @Glooble - 1 rare keys
    @HydroFlash77 - 3 rare keys
    @blgordon - 123 rare keys
    @runakilli - 1 rare keys
    @KiddTitus - 1 rare keys
    @CoalMiner4life - 1 rare keys
    @PyroTechnix_ - 2 rare keys
    @freddyagogo - 136 rare keys
    @ghenz22 - 8 rare keys
    @Gowther32 - 35 rare keys
    @pokeball92870 - 80 rare keys
    @1purplejade - 5 rare keys
    @Qohonez - 3 rare keys
    @Jdawger - 38 rare keys
    @Imabankthing - 46 rare keys
    @Ladyvamptress - 8 rare keys
    @RaginDevonian - 1 rare keys
    @spaenjj - 1 rare keys
    @sick24 - 1 rare keys

    Good news: The good news is that the booklet was completely re-coded from the ground up with a large amount of previous code completely scratched. Everything now works flawlessly, including the Booklet Stats Leaderboards! Further more, the booklet is completely future proof for all coming Minecraft updates! I am absolutely confident in saying we have one heck of a VMR Booklet now! :artist:

    NEW VMR PRESTIGE:
    You can now level up your EcoCityCraft Prestige twice through the VMR game mode!
    - Once by accumulating 100 points on the Points Leaderboards.
    - Once by filling and completing (achieving) every booklet item. (Stats Leaderboards)

    Apply for VMR prestige with the following applications:
    - VMR Medal Application
    - VMR Booklet Medal Application

    PS: Two users have lost their vmr booklet medals due to this change. Sorry @pokeball92870 and @Gowther32 <3 - As this is now part of a major prestige system, you will need to achieve all 789 items from the start like everyone else. We hope you still love us =(

    We have also gotten rid of the silly and quite stupid 1000 item requirement to achieve an item on VMR. The requirement has gone down to just 10 items required (and only 3 for unobtainable / rare items) to mark an item as achieved! We believe this is a step in the right direction no matter what item it is. Some items will be easy, others hard. (Just like a Pokédex lol)

    As well, since VMR now has a prestige, we need to make it possible for all players to achieve this, without spending USD if they don't want to. As such, all players can use the /kit rare command on VMR once every single week. This gives you 3 free rare keys. Once used, you cannot use the kit again until VMR resets. Trade with friends and other users to get every item you need :bookworm:! If you have friends who don't play VMR, get them in every week to use their keys! Remember, prestiging gives you huge benefits on the Main City Server!
    (Any users abusing alt accounts for free keys will face a network wide permaban).

    NEW VMR PLAYER UPGRADES:
    We have also added the ability to get weekly rare keys, just as you can find on our SkyBlock game mode in regards to it's monthly keys. Purchasing a weekly rare key upgrade gives you many more keys every single reset to use towards your booklet and the rare & unobtainable items it requires! And yes, even if you have the player upgrades, you can still use the free kit as well!

    <3 Major thanks to everyone who supports us. Without you projects and fixes like this wouldn't be possible!

    Well, I believe I've covered mostly everything for now.
    VMR is now back online everyone! Good luck with the Booklet! :cool:

    PS: Stay tuned for one more VMR announcement shortly!
