Shopworld

The Shopworld serves as an official location where players can buy goods with unlimited stock. The current variant was introduced on January 16th, 2017 here. This smaller version of the shop no longer sells all of the items; instead, it just sells Promotional Items (when they are available), the Dirt Destroying Ticking Tock, and the Labor Bench. It was once known as the Empire Shop.

Getting there(top)

• /shopworld - Teleport to the shop world from the Town

This command replaced /shop, which is now used as an alias for /v +mall, +shop, and +store. This sends players to economy-based Residences with any of those common tags.

Shop History(top)

Original(top)

The original Empire Shop was located on a 124x124 residence on each server, which is the same residence in which the original underground maze tutorial was located.

On February 12th, 2013, Maxarias announced the official launch of the new Empire Shop as a Valentine's Day present to EMC in this thread. The Empire Shop was moved to its own, much larger, terraformed world containing various aesthetic builds, such as a large sphinx, the shop pyramids, an oasis, and various other desert/Egyptian-themed features. The stock was organized according to Minecraft's creative menu, with a one-update delay until new items were added. Promotional Items were also available in this version of the shop at decorative stands just in front of the world's spawn.

Then, on November 7th, 2015, it was announced in the November 2015 Empire News thread by Krysyy that a UFO appeared in the Empire Shop world over the Sphinx, containing all 1.7 items.

The closing of the second Empire Shop was announced on December 31st, 2016. The reasons for this closing were to prevent confusion for new players who purchased items from the shop without understanding that they were intentionally overpriced, and because the Player Economy is strong enough to deliver supply without the need to spawn items in through unlimited shop signs.
