I think the #1 thing that would immediately fix the economy is to completely delete god drops from the store and put all the magic tools in the star shop at a much higher nstar value.

We've already doubled rank and application prices and we have tax man so that's another decent start to fix the economy.

I'd then say drop all the block values a bit of farming fishing etc.

Increase the value / worth while of mining as right now I can't name a single person that mines seriously for profits. This is Minecraft and the ECC mining economy isnt even worth it. Outside of just starting out / specific blocks for builds the mining economy is dead.

If we are to take the inflated economy for the what third....fourth time now and fix it. I'd say deleting loot boxes (god drops) would be a good place to start since they've completely ruined the economy multiple times.

I wouldn't delete anything from this server but I would say a secondary server with no magic tools and no balance sharing would be interesting to see if it can take off or not.

Maybe it can have rank prices still doubles but massively drop block values on that server, no access to god drops, no magic , no boosts, just old school ECC. Maybe even add forum badges for people who manage to hit ecolegend on that server.

+0 tbh, we have archive, which is like a diet version of your suggestion; the maps are essentially the same since when they were archived. Maybe we can revamp that server to have a little economy, but at the end of the day, how many people will play on it?

I am coming up on 10 years myself, and I have adjusted to modern-day ECC. Nostalgia of what was is a killer in progress & growth. While I usually bitch about major changes when they are announced, I tend to at least partially enjoy them and deal with it. Yes, economy is wack & inflated, but that is a different topic for a different suggestion.

 

Thank you for your input.
