A big thank you from me to Andrew, the Server Admin (WeWinAgain), the Staff Admins, and the developers for all their hard work in getting 1.6.1 enabled on EcoCityCraft so quickly! I realize that there are noticeable performance problems , but of course the responsibility for that lies at the feet of Mojang. Hopefully 1.6.2 will help in that regard. In addition, I want to extend a special thank you to Kuke for spending the time to develop a custom plugin to enable invincible horses in main world. This has been a feature that for a long time (http://www.ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/suggestion-horses-on-ecc.49113/) I have been hoping would happen, and now it's here! EcoCityCraft is a wonderful server, and you folks have shown that once again!
Thanks to all Nico listed, along with the entire community for being patient during the Updating processes.
