Eco Strange Loop Games - tips and tricks for cooperation

From the website of Eco by Strange Loop Games you can see uncommon phrases and keywords in the gaming world such as “must collaborate” and “player-run government”. This single fact should tell you this game is not like others. Here is why.

Do-It-Yourself buildings are the direct result of a core value shared by many players of  Eco by  Strange Loop Games  and a great way to support the growth of a server. However, their use conflict with popular (mis-)conceptions about economy and profits. That is probably why you don't see them often.

  I do love to play  the game Eco by  Strange Loop Games   and join a team. Everyone should experience the sense of security, usefullness and comaraderie of a team. This is great...really...but why are the other players leaving ?

In Eco by  Strange Loop Games , players can make their own world (or server) and welcome other players to share their dream. The value of a an Eco world comes from the number and quality of players who contribute to this dream. There are, however, common mistakes and mishaps from administrators that can easily turn happy citizens to deserters.

Eco by  Strange Loop Games  is sometimes pictured with a nice city town hall, white bridge and other community features. I did my fare share of random servers and let's just say player-made town centers rarely look like this, if there are any. In fact, the absence of town centers is odd considering their advantages for a community: I blame minecraft :)
