Being an old player myself I remember things that happened in the past year. If you were trying to find out what old ecc was like like 2 dollar pumpkins and 3k per USD donations back when I was builder. Exp was like 10k for 50 levels and pork was in the voting things... Btw idk if this is rare i have 2 double chests full of pork....
When I was builder a year ago, exp for 50 lvls was 20-30k, pres was 120k! Not much has changed, it's mainly the updates that have affected this.
Heck I don't even remember when exp was added so I couldn't tell you. I actually joined around when harry joined the forums so.. Anyhow, the old players were some of the best times. No offense to the great player base we have now, but since there were a little bit less people on ECC back then, it was a little more fun. You knew just about everyone. What OhMrs said, $2 pumpkins and some other more expensive things that aren't that price anymore.
I've been on ecc since may 2012. Making me a year old. I only applied for resident when I wanted to make trade signs. EDIT: According to my Ecc bookmark in my browser I found the server may 21st 2012 which means my ECC birthday was yesterday. http://i.imgur.com/NZtEr3C.png
Back in January/February, 2012... those were the days I can honestly say that I had my best experience on this server as a builder. I loved learning the ropes of the server, and met one really awesome friend, who is still active today! I'd say that the biggest change, aside from prices, would be the removal of mobs in the main world. There used to be quite an economy for mob spawning (back when it was included with ext. creations) and mob spawners. I'd have to say that over the year and a half that I have been here, tons of things have changed, some for the better and some for the worse. The thing that I miss most would probably be the smaller, well-knit community. I know that the goal is to be a large server, which I still love, I really do like the feeling of knowing and being friends with everyone in a small community. I know that this is not really about the players themselves, but I hope that thjis can atleast shead some light on any questions that you may have had about the server's past.
You arent even near old yet! Back in december of 2011, pumpkins were 3$ per, easy money compared to now!
Ill be the one to say it.... ECC is nothing like it was a year ago. So many changes and now way too many players. I understand that was the idea, but the server has become saturated with too many players that do absolutely nothing for the economy or the market as a whole. for the first 4-6 months after I joined everything was great. The prices were set perfectly, people were banned (perma) for hurting the economy/cheating, and people actually put time and effort into the server as a whole. To be quite honest most of the "older players" who are examples of what I am talking about have left and are long gone. That is the evolution of EC I guess, I just wish it could have kept some of what brought me here over a year ago.
No enchanted tools, no exp, mobs in main world, no pvp world, no mining world, only 2 levels of town portals, Spawn Tower, $2 Pumpkins..... Ah, those were the good days. OH AND YOU HAD LOADS OF PORKCHOPS!
