With the New Year behind us and the cold air of January all around us (well some of us at least, some people have a lovely warm January, but that's not important, I'm not jealous...), I wanted to give a roundup of what's happened recently here on New Eden and what we're releasing this month.
Before we get into changes though, I want to say a special thank you to those who have recently become Monthly Donors or bought one-time purchase Perks through our Online Store. Donating to New Eden through the store helps us to invest in better servers and deliver an even better experience, if you want to help our head over to store.neweden.co.
Special shout-out to @MyHxney who is our top Donor this month, wooh!
Recently we made a bunch of changes to ranks. The two main changes you'll notice are the addition of some new ranks and it now takes less time to rank up to some ranks, here's a summary:
The Perks that each rank get's have also changed, but here's some highlights that have been previously requested:
Other changes include Architect and Mayor now becoming sub-ranks. For now those who have Architect or Mayor will still have it as their main ran, however this will be updated in the future. As a sub-rank Architect shows with a pink @ symbol and Mayor shows as a light green #, if you have any suggestions for better symbols feel free to let us know.
You can find out much more about the new ranks and what each rank gets on the Community Ranks Guide Page.
There have also been some minor changes to Staff Rank permissions, All Staff now no longer get Moderator specific permissions by default. This is to allow us to make it easier to expand the staff with more diverse roles, for example a member of the Development Team will no longer automatically have all the Moderator permissions that someone in the Community Team might. However that doesn't mean that Staff who aren't Moderators can't have Moderator Permissions, but this will be decided on a case by case basis, and has already been given to current members of the Development Team.
Recently both Sayu and Armadyl have joined the Staff, both in the Development Team.
Armadyl has joined us as a (Software) Developer and will be helping to develop new features for New Eden services. Sayu has joined us in a new role created called Strategic Development Manager, the Strategic Development Manager is responsible for long term planning of some large projects, along with research in various areas, and expanding the Development Team into new areas.
We're very excited to have both of them on-board and expect it to increase the speed at which we can deliver new features to our services.
Very literally actually, because there is now a Frontier World generated as The End, specifically the islands where you can find End Dungeons, Boats, Chorus, and whatever else is there.
Like all Frontier Worlds (the regular and the Nether) it resets on the 1st of every month at 3am server time (currently Central European Time), so don't keep anything valuable there but feel free to mine it for all its resources!
So have fun mining away, avoiding Ender Man and trying not to fall into the void! To get there when on the Survival Realm type /warp frontier_the_end, and to find out more about Frontier Worlds check out the Resource Worlds Guide Page.
There's a few new bug fixes and changes to the Survival Realm which were very recently implemented:
We've also made a bunch of other fixes and small changes recently:
If that wasn't even here's a few more less noticeable tweaks and changes:
