The all new TeamChain
Hello everyone,
Over the past few weeks we have observed how players interact with the server to see what they like and don't like about our system. After some careful decisions, we have decided to do some major upgrades to the server. Unfortunately, this means a wipe. However, before you get the pitchforks, see what we are changing and consider what you will be able to do with our new system. Here are the following main changes that we looked at. If you don't feel like reading all of them, skip to the bottom for the full change list.
Ranks. In the beginning ranks seemed like a good idea. However, we feel they got in the way of what is important. We would like to place a heavier focus on towns, so a player's tag will resemble their town. For example, if "Johnny123" was in the town "Perix", his tag would look like: "[Perix] Johnny123". If Johnny123 was an "[EPIC]" donator rank, his tag would look like: "[Perix][EPIC] Jonny123". In addition, there will be no more moderator rank.
Donator ranks. As of the update, donator ranks will be automatically applied by our new system to players. There will be need to wait for a staff member to be online. Previous donators, please email teamichain@gmail and be sure to include the email used at time of donating, your donator rank, and your IGN.
No more peace/warlands. There will be one unified "lands" 300 blocks outside all (3) biome towers. Town commands will be able to used everywhere, pvp will be enabled in these areas, and tnt will be off.
Arenas. There is a new mob arena and pvp + spleef arena will be enabled.
Lag. We have been looking into the issues that are causing the massive lag on the server. We have narrowed it down to dynmap and mob arena. We have removed dynmap until a stable build is released. Mob arena is also getting an update, and we hope these actions will clear most of the lag on the server.
TR;DR: Full change list:
- wipe map and plugin files
- remove ranks + ontime
- remove war/peace lands
+ auto donor ranks
+ town + nation tags
+ new MA + working PA + SA
+ unified playing lands with towns, pvp, and no tnt
We are also working on a really cool addition to TeamChain. More info will be released soon!
Expected downtime for this update is 2-4 hours.

XP Bank!
Many people are wondering how XP bank works, so I figured I would post a quick tutorial. All you need is a sign and a place to put your xp bank. You can store up to 100 levels per sign.
Setting up the sign
Follow this simple diagram when setting up the signType "[expbank]" on the first line of a sign like this:
The sign should then look like this:
Adding XP
To add XP, simply left click the sign. To take exp back out, just right click the sign!

Update
Hello everyone,
The server is back up and running. All of the plugins have been configured and are now active on the server. The move to the main map will happen soon, there are just a few things that need to happen first. I'll keep this updated.

Bukkit 1.3.1
Hello everyone,
The first dev build of bukkit is out, which means we can begin the move to the main world. Sit tight though, there are nearly 40 plugins that need to be configured and tested. I can't give exact time on when we will be up and running with the main world, but if I had to guess I would say 3-6 hours from now. I will do my best to keep the vanilla server up as much as possible while doing this, but random reboots are inevitable, so please be patient.
Also, things may get a bit weird on the server since it will be half bukkit, half vanilla while we are working on it (i.e. rank tags may appear, some commands will start to work, etc).
[EDIT: The server will remain on whitelist while we are installing and testing everything]
