[Vote Update] New Voting Opportunities!

May

by IcecreamCow at 6:46 AM (687 Views) 44 Comments

Hey everyone!

I've added us to a handful of new server list sites. The more the merrier right? I'm going to compile a list of all the lists you can vote for us on daily (which helps us immensely!)

I'll sort them into two "lists". One will be our already established lists that we've been on, and the second will be the new ones I've added us to. Before we "officially" add some new server lists to our "Rupees" section, I'd like to beta test them, if you will and make sure they're legit, count the votes properly, and send us the correct information to credit you guys.

Now some, fun info about this. We have our votifier hooked up to them all, including the new...

Dragon Tomb / Frontier / Voting Perks Mini Updates

DRAGON TOMB / FRONTIER PROGRESS

We’re officially one step closer to our Dragon Tomb and Frontier Update. Today the original Dragon Egg owners who took our advice and sold us the Eggs for 1 rupee were rewarded with something awesome as we promised. Each owner received the Original Egg back with a special power to be able to place an Ender Crystal on their residence. Should they ever sell or give that egg to someone else, that player will then have the ability to do the same on their residence. Only one Crystal per egg can be active, so placing a new one will delete the old one.

They each also receive 19 regular dragon eggs as...

Wastelands Launch!

May

by Maxarias at 1:31 AM (2470 Views) 135 Comments

After years and years and years...(just kidding Aikar) of waiting, we are finally ready to release the Wastelands to you here tonight. The Wastelands are going to be our dedicated, Go-Here-To-Get-Supplies world and you can expect it to reset on a semi-regular basis. This means DO NOT EVER BUILD THINGS HERE THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO LOSE.

When we do the resets, everyone in the world at the time will spawn back at town. This includes if you were signed off. So, if it resets while you're logged off, the next time you log on will have you appear back at town again.

If you happen to find an END portal, it will simply link to the...

Endertopia 2.0!

May

by IcecreamCow at 1:19 AM (2112 Views) 109 Comments

After a good couple weeks of hard work, Endertopia 2.0 is finally finished and ready to the Utopian public. Endertopia, for those who do not know, is a community built enderman grinder and "city" that started near the launch of EMC and continued to grow at a fast pace.

Due to it's gaining popularity, there were issues that came up within the city/grinder, including improperly placed blocks and decorations that very strongly limited the grinder potential.

We decided to take this amazing project, and pretty it up to perfection over the last couple weeks so that it runs like a smooth machine. We've included a pre-built...

New Residence Flags

Mar

by IcecreamCow at 3:30 PM (4744 Views) 88 Comments

Hey everyone. We now have new residence flags for you to use and they are as follows:

Boats
- boat *
- boatplace
- boatdestroy

Minecarts
- minecart *
- minecartplace
- minecartdestroy
- tntminecart
- storageminecart
- hopperminecart
- poweredminecart

Enderpearl
- enderpearl

Shear
- shear

Fireworks
- firework

Anvil
- anvil

Villagers
- villager

Killing animals
- kill

* - Setting boat or minecart to true is like a "combo" that automatically allows place/destory for both. If you want any of the other flags like tntminecart/storageminecart, etc, you have to have both minecart set to true and that flag set to true.

Announcing: Empire Issue Tracker

Mar

by Aikar at 1:25 PM (3592 Views) 73 Comments

EMC is proud to announce we now have an issue tracker!

What is an issue tracker you may ask? It's the same thing as Mojang's bug tracker: https://mojang.atlassian.net/secure/Dashboard.jspa

Bug/Issue/Ticket system... all the same thing really! (I just really prefer Issue

)

You may access it here: http://track.empire.us/issues - Click login as guest if asked

However, our issue tracker will not be open for anyone to post to. Mojang's issue tracker is full of duplicates and junk, and we do not want the same to happen to ours. Also, were limited to 10 users anyways... so we can't!

So, to keep our tracker clean and organized, we have established a small team from the community to post issues to it from the community.

These members are: AlexChance, JackBiggin, and...

Empire Minecraft updates to 1.5.1!

Mar

by JustinGuy at 12:54 AM (5603 Views) 173 Comments

Thanks to the hard work of Aikar and the staff that helped with testing we have just upgraded to Minecraft 1.5.1. This means you are free to upgrade your Minecraft and bask in the glory of the "Redstone Update".

I appreciate everyone's patience as we worked on this update. As a celebration we are giving 1,501 rupees away to everyone. You have one week from today to claim the rupees by clicking here.

The new world, Wastelands, is not released yet as we are still working on that. If you missed the previous information on this it is a normal world that resets periodically (with a different seed). Additionally it will be a few more days until we...

New Servers

Mar

by JustinGuy at 5:45 PM (7458 Views) 265 Comments

Update: all servers have been upgraded to the better hardware, enjoy!

Hey EMC! As you all know we are working towards getting the EMC platform to the new Minecraft 1.5 version. A lot goes into this process and as usual we are going to release as soon as possible without sacrificing the stability of the servers. I wanted to make this post to give some transparency into what is going on with the technology behind Empire Minecraft.

Over the past several months Aikar has provided us with many tweaks and improvements to both improve the performance of EMC game servers but also to fix bugs and implement new features (the new vault is awesome!). My life had changed to where I wasn't able to provide near the time into EMC as the early days. But Aikar stepped up to the plate...
