I went from the Outlands to EC, it ported me around x:-3000 z:-1700 too. I walked back to the city and went back to the Outlands, and it ported me Southwest of the spawn.
P.S. There are a lot of rare materials in EC outside the city, such as clay and gold, and if your lucky you'll find the pink sheep that I found walking back to the city, I also have a screen shot of it, just because.
