I will be doing a massive rehaul of the server FAQ on the wiki this Friday. And I mean MASSIVE. However, I am by no means a definitive representation of the opinions of the server. Which is why I am asking YOU, yes you talking on your mobile, yes you texting over there, yes you sitting in front of the computer eating potato chips, yes you tearing down some unfortunate builder's house, all of you, to help me do it. I am accepting submissions of the following: Questions for me and the community to answer Questions with answers Opinions on... just about anything server-related Modifications to existing questions Please use the following formats to submit stuff: Code: === Q: <your question here> === A. <answer goes here> Questions that I will add are in the spoiler.

=== Q: Why do cactus not grow? === A. Cactus causes severe lag and their grow has been disabled. === Q: Why can't I use pistons? === A. Pistons are extremely buggy and can result in duped item, lag, glitching/bugs, and possible server crashing. === Q: Why can't I protect more chests/doors/furnaces/etc? === A. === Q: Why are my seeds/wheat popping up? === A. There either isn't enough light, nearby water, or you don't have protections in that region. === Q: Is there any weather / why is there no weather? === A. Weather causes lag for users with older computers, server lag, and rain bothers most people visually and audibly. I don't know the exact reasons for pistons. >> And if any of my answers aren't completely correct, they can be fixed... And I don't know exactly what the FAQ is to have on it; general MC /and/ ECC questions, or more ECC/server? o-o
I am not sure that its mentioned but I would of applied for nether alot sooner had I known that flying is not allowed there. Maybe thats been added to the wiki since I looked but if its not mentioned then it is definately worth mentioning if you give nether info in the faq.
Completely automated farms were possible. You could sit there and make thousands upon thousands without doing a thing, and all those blocks on the ground caused a huge amount of lag. Not to mention all the block updates, flowing water, etc...
Just a few suggestions/ideas/corrections: Q: Can I lock my chests? A: Yes you can. In fact, you can lock a lot of things! The list at the time of this writeing includes, Signs, Chests, Doors, and Trap-Doors. Also possibly include how to lock these or provide a link to one of the wiki pages with all of the LWC commands? And fix "writeing" Q: Where am I! A: If you just joined, most likely the spawn. The spawn links every part of the ECC world, and can be kind of confusing at first, so don't freak out, and instead ask another player where to go. For this question I think a link to the live map would make sense and be quite helpful. Q: How do I get Resident? A: To get Resident, you must first build up 15K (15,000) in in-game Eco-dollars. Possibly include links to the Builder+ application section to the forum as well as the section of the wiki with the format. That way they know where to go after getting 15,000 Eco-dollars. There's a question/answer for Resident, and I think it would also be useful to have one for Aether/Pilot, Nether/Survivor and Mayor/Getting a Town. Possible questions and answers. === Q: How do I get to the nether? === A. You must have the rank of Survivor or higher, and nether access is available at spawn. You can't make your own portal. === Q: How do I get Survivor? === A. To get Survivor, you must first build up 20K (20,000) in in-game Eco-dollars. Survivor is required to access the nether. (If you do decide to add the links to the section of the forums for applications/the wiki with the format add it. Not adding it here for the sake of consistency.) === Q: How do I get to the aether? === A. You must have the rank of pilot or higher, and aether access is available at spawn. === Q: How do I get Pilot? === A. To get Pilot, you must first build up 20K (20,000) in in-game Eco-dollars. Pilot is required to access the aether. (If you do decide to add the links to the section of the forums for applications/the wiki with the format add it. Not adding it here for the sake of consistency.) === Q: How do I get a town? === A. You must have the rank of Mayor. === Q: How do I get Mayor? === A. To get Mayor, you must first build up an additional 85K (85,000) in in-game Eco-dollars after you've reached Resident. (If you do decide to add the links to the section of the forums for applications/the wiki with the format add it. Not adding it here for the sake of consistency.)
