Hello everyone.

Making the transition into 2019 means it's again time to shake up the Wiki Team.
We're going to be working on getting all our pages up to date as well as writing new articles on new updates and relevant information.

However, we need your help! As @ClarinetPhoenix had mentioned earlier, we've just opened up Wiki Team applications again for anyone willing to help spread their knowledge about ECC to old players rejoining us now or the next generation of Builders on the City Server!

We could use all the help we could get. Apply today!

And on another topic... you can now see what we're working on in real time!
We've made a handy Trello board that tracks what each member of the Wiki Team is working on as well as what we have planned for later.

Here's what it looks like:


And on a final note, even if you aren't part of the WIki Team, you can still help our efforts in creating ECC's official knowledge base! Check out the Wiki Team & Submissions section of the forums with information on how you can help!

cheers~

Little quick update as to what’s been getting done behind the scenes, won’t go into detail, just some quick points:

- Our Essentials plugin has had several absolutely major updates to it. Pretty much a total overhaul of every, single, thing. The problem with our private Essentials was the fact it was absolutely neglected, and left in the dust, without any true updates to its infrastructure for several years. This has all changed now, and thanks to our new developer, days beyond days of work has gone into it to give us a much more stable, “true” updated version of it. With this done, several things are fixed and working far better than they ever were, such as the teleportation around ECC (all those nasty wonky glitches due to no real 1.13.2 update for example).

With the new Essentials now live across VMR and Main, we ask all players to be on the look out for any and all bugs and report them to us via https://ecocitycraft.com/help as soon as possible.

- Dozens more bugs and optimizations have been made to several of our custom (codename LS) projects, which are basically the custom ECC plugins that run on each server. Bug fixes, updates, customizations, and a lot of other very nice touch ups. Check the help/support section for all bug fixes we put through ECC, the list is far too big for a news post xD.

- The pets plugin is now updated and functional. Further more we now have the capability to update it ourselves and take over the code base should the need arise

- Lots more backend web machine work has been done in preparation for machine migrations in 2019. (We will be upgrading our hardware to much more powerful stuff! - just waiting on OVH to launch their new setups, which they’ve told us via call is already in the works).

And yeah.
Just thought I’d shoot a general update at you guys. Specifically the Essentials one, which truly was a major project, with a bit more potential work to go.

Hello there!

To minimize the hit a few users are taking due to our recent news post:
https://ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/new-skyblock-prestige-requirements.179289/

We are making the following exceptions.

Exception 1:

• User's who already have blocks available to level their islands to 15,000 but simply have not placed them will be allowed to apply for prestige.
• Blocks will be checked via logblock and other resources and must be verifiable through server logs to have been available prior to the above news post. This prevents users simply buying blocks from others to apply for Exception 1, as this will absolutely not be allowed.
• Don't forget to include a location for your blocks. Inventory/PlayerVaults is not a valid location for this exception. Your blocks must be in chests/other so that we may track them via logblock to ensure they were not simply purchased during the exceptions timeframe.
• Once approved, you will need to place these blocks and apply for Prestige linking a screenshot of my approval.

Exception 2:

• User's who have a current island level of 3,000+ and have not yet reached 15,000 as of November 26th 2018 6:00PM (which only applies to the island owners in this screenshot:
  Spoiler

  
  will be allowed to apply for this exception.)
• Exception 2 will be approved/disapproved by a team of private SkyBlock judges of my choosing who will judge your current setup and determine if it is possible for you to reach 15,000 without purchasing blocks as a shortcut.
• Several things will be taken into consideration with exception 2, including your online time on SkyBlock. Basically, if you've only been online for an hour a week, and your current island level is 3,000 - you'll instantly be denied as clearly it's not possible for you to reach 15,000 without purchasing blocks from others....

After careful examination of how long certain users achieved Prestige, and taking several other factors into consideration, the SkyBlock prestige requirements have changed for the preservation of our Main City server.

The new requirements are listed on the wiki information page below:
https://ecocitycraft.com/forum/wiki/skyblock-medal-application/

Changes are as such:
Month's 1 & 2 will seem difficult, and of course those with ranks will be able to prestige much faster, compared to those without. This is why scaling has remained at 25 from Month 2 -> 3 -> 4. The higher your island level gets, the easier levels are achievable, thus most players should get to 50k & 75k on month's 3 & 4 if dedicated to the game mode. The reason most islands right now are 15k max is because players simply quit after achieving prestige.

As well, as it stands, prestige on SkyBlock became a joke that was sold left and right, and that really ruins the point of Prestige. With this change, we are once again allowing all Prestige sale services and block sale services. It will be much harder to sell this service now to multiple people, however still possible to 1 or 2 a season, which I'll allow to give those dedicated to SkyBlock another form of making City ECD.

It is impossible for me to list all the glorious things this system offers, so I'll keep it short:

• All users can view chat.
• Resident (& ex-Residents) can use the chat system.
• Premium users have more features than I could ever write up.
  • The most notable, private chat rooms! These rooms have only one rule. No illegal IRL discussion. Everything else goes and will not be moderated IF the room is password protected.
