Hey there, Econians!
I'm posting here to invite all takers to Eco: Ecology and Economy.
Our server was founded by a few like-minded fellows with a similar vision:
From our point of view, Eco isn't just about ecology-- it's about economy, creating a market with different niches, and a community that thrives on growth and trade! To this end, we have created a server to reflect this. Our goal is to create a community based on the lifeblood of trade, with minimal admin heavy-handedness, and maximum market incentives while still maintaining a stable, long term server. The use of admin commands and spawn-ins has been limited to the bare necessity to establish the foundations of government and an economy that every can participate in. Although we are still in the early stages, the server is ready and welcoming new players!
How does it work?
Admin and the community will focus on developing their trades and creating several "Requisition Depots." These are places that anyone can buy and sell unprocessed goods (stone, logs, grain, raw animals, etc.), for the same rate, giving incentive for even less specialized players to drop off their excess goods for a quick gain, and allowing crafters to pick up cheap goods to then be processed and sold. We have built a "Provisional Capitol" (tiny bank and capitol building) to facilitate this, and will be starting work on the depots soon. As time goes on and demand increases, more depots will be added. We will also be rolling out shop and residence plots for players who want to make their homes/livelihoods close to this early market center, along with road claims and a contract board for future projects. Rather than cheating everything in, we intend to let players build the server, and compensate them accordingly. Please note that the funds for this will come from a treasury, and not the admin's personal accounts.
A Quick FAQ:
- We are a long term server, with 6 months paid in advance
-We run on dedicated hardware, with 15 GB Ram!
- We are medium collab, with plans for contracts to allow players to shape the world around them and make a profit doing it!
- We are Newb friendly, and happy to introduce new players to Eco
- There is no meteor
- We have set basic laws in place to allow players certain freedoms and incentives for keeping the game world stable. While we are open to suggestions, these are not to be outright challenged. If you're not sure what that means, just ask.
- Admin are here to maintain and coordinate the server, not to rule with an iron fist. While we do have the final say, we will always try to keep and open ear and hear you
***$$$ - To help drum up interest, all active players at the end of March will be entered in two raffles for $25 Steam credit! $$$***
