    Survival - Changes to donator ranks
    For the longest time, vip ranks sat between normal player ranks and staff ranks. This meant that staff would get all vip perks, and the process of promoting to staff would forget which vip rank they had before. Now vip ranks sit on top of other ranks, making "vip mod" a thing. Along with that change, the tag associated with vip has changed from [VIP II] to *II* and is no longer hidden by /prefix

    In addition, vip ranks now have new perks! Based on rank, they have access to extra banner layers, more lava furnaces, and some really cool trails. See the full perk list here!

    Survival - Questing update
    A new category has been added to your quest books: Trades! With this, you will be able to exchange resources to get otherwise finite or difficult to acquire items (Like podzol).

    Survival - Falling Sand and Stand Free return!
    /warp fallingsand is the home of the newly resurrected falling sand and stand free events! These will be run with the other weekly events, given we have enough participants online.

    Falling Sand: Players jump from sand block to sand block, trying to be the last one standing in a decaying arena!

    Stand Free: The sky is falling! Avoid being buried for as long as possible as leaves vanish and drop blocks on your head.

    Survival - Tab completion changes
    Previously, tab-completing commands would show a list of all possible matching commands, even if you were unable to run them. That is no longer the case; now commands are only shown if you are able to run them. This is most noticeable when tab completing an empty command (/[tab]), which now shows 120-150 commands rather than 1571!

    FTB - New modpack
    Despite our best efforts, the most recent Infinity Evolved patch tore through our map. Rather than start from scratch on the same pack, we've decided to try something new. Seriously new.
    I will not apologize for that pun.

    General - Donator store updated
    The ShadeCrest vip store has been updated so all ranks correctly list their perks! Along with this change is a new layout that has images for each package (though the images are not completed yet). Be on the lookout for new fancy things appearing in there soon :)

    As a humble reminder, please whenever possible bump these threads. This is as important in the case of MC Forums MORE IMPORTANT than voting. Seriously! Please post in the MC Forums threads. Don't just say "bump", just post random stuff about what you are doing and how you like the server. Takes less time than voting. Screenshots are fun too. http://shadecrest.com/site/threads/6088/
