1/29 (1.2 patch)
*Spells have been temp removed until the plugin works the way we want, please use /home or /home set in order to recall / mark.
*Realms is still being redesigned and remade - it has no ETA.
*Cuboid itself is now dead - please refer to the Regional Protect guide here
*Herogates are MIA for the moment - we have a working solution but are also creating something more stable and reliable on our end that will suit our needs better.
*The map has been extended to 2500r (500r more and our overall size has increased by 30% due to this)
*Due to the expansion and change in chunk generation coding - it seems to have some abnormal effects, if you spot this - do not be alarmed.
*HeroChat is now our primary chat plugin - it is created by our Coding team (Thanks to DThiele for taking lead on it) and will continue to improve.
*A server shutdown bug causes all player inventories to not be saved UNLESS they disconnect prior to the server force shutdown - please disconnect when we say the server is coming down. This issue should be resolved SOON.
*The old help ticket system is dead, we now have a new one, it is called Petition - please use /petition or /pe to see the new list of commands
*CraftBook isn't in yet - it is almost ported and is in pre-release testing - eta 1-3 days.
*Donor commands are vastly changed and will get a make over soon - please be patient.

New Commands.
/home, /home set, /ping, /petition, /pe (same as petition) and perhaps some others that I have missed.

2/3
*Upgraded to build 232 (this was from 166) - many bug fixes - too many to list.
* Adding in HeroicDeath Messages - woo! It now shows death quotes when players die.
* We had a rolling blackout at the hosting location - our SSD went under - we are now on our (*almost*) raid set up - for now - this will have to hold us over.
* A leveling system has been brought in to temp hold us over - several values will change - and exp rates will be modified. More than likely Diamond will be obtained very early (Down from level 30)
*I'm tired and will add more to this later. (14 hours of work non-stop no jokes.)
*Adjusted the leveling system - THIS IS ONLY TEMPORARY until PROFESSIONS with Heroes plugin is in.
