No lag at 400 players online. I reckon it should be similar right now, considering andrew hasn't downgraded with hardware.
Same quality of play, just much more interaction between community members as well as staff members. That's the only real difference between then and now.
www.minecraftservers.org Not sure if you know this but the Minecraft client allows you to play MANY different servers! "Omg ECC makes so much money! This is outrageous, I rather play on a server that's totally broke and risks being shut down at any given time because the owner doesn't grow money on a tree in his backyard". Seriously the logic of some people on the internet blows my mind. Yes we make a TON on ECC, hence why we are up after 5 years and continue to maintain it. If this is a problem please go find some trash server that makes absolutely nothing; come back when it closes down destroying all your work and time playing. Long story short, yes we've made money in the past 5 years, and even during our tough times we were and still are able to continue on. Heck I could shut down donations for a year and be able to keep ECC up. We have quite a nice large savings account. I'm hella proud of that. At least my users know we aren't going anywhere and will continue to provide them with a gaming environment today, tomorrow, in a week, in a month, in a year, and much much longer. Never mind, this explains everything, I feel as if I've wasted my time replying to this thread. You owe me 10 minutes of my life back. Back to work on my server maintenance.
