Hey all!
After a week and a half of hard work, we're nearly done with the server update. Most of the old server features have been re-implemented, with a few more coming soon. We still have a lot planned for the server, and this post will cover some of that, but first, let's recap what's in.
A new spawn

Spawn is nearly finished, missing only some detail by the blacksmiths and shop plots. We're also looking to add in a few more arenas when we have the chance. We'll be adding back in NPC talking as well as NPC shops, as well as a few more things we have planned.
Mining world & nether warps

Warps to the mining world & nether are now available at spawn (Look for the beacon).
Quests & Perks

Quests are now available with a total of 11 up currently, the wiki pages for all quests are update as well. We're planning to add in another 20 or so before the month ends. All perks are also available now, details on each perk are on the wiki pages.
Daily restarts & backups
Something less important to most people, but definitely essential for the server, we have improved the backend for our servers as well as updated the scripts we use for server backups and restarts. The server shuts down automatically every night at 3:30AM, and restarts at 3:35AM.
What's to come
We're still missing a few features we want to get in before the end of the month, namely storm shards and banks. We're planning a few updates regarding storm shards with how they are obtained and used, they will play a much larger role in the near future, especially with towns & perks. We have a few more things we'd like to add, and we're not ready to go into details yet but we'll give you an idea as to what they'll be, monthly worlds, daily login rewards, and custom achievements.
