What happened to concrete / concrete powder? I recently tried to craft it and submit a design for the December build contest but its un-craftable for me. Is this a glitch or intentional? Either way i'd like to request that it be "unbanned" so I (and other people) can use this amazing block type.

We have not updated to the version with concrete yet.

Can someone fill me in on what the Creeper Plot is? From what I've seen its a bunch of creepers messing with cyber. And if that the case has anyone else noticed creepers have an increased aggression level?

The plugin we used for increased difficulty was never updated to work in a multi-world config with new versions of MC, hence we no longer run it. Creeper plots are anything that does not go my way (or how players would want)

So, back in the olden days of me playing, Ateph (The nether and hardcore themed one) was the best part of Pearl. It was one of the only servers with a custom biome, it was challenging, it allowed the access of rare items, had group ender dragon battles, the list goes on and on. In its current status its a boring snow landscape, and the only notable "difficult" part is occasional groups of strays with god accuracy. I'd like to request that you re-implement the old Ateph with flower biomes, nether landscape, magma cubes, wither skeletons, skeleton horses, ender dragons, etc etc. And simply integrate the new blocks over the old ones, kind of like a time-capsule crust. Just maybe someone (def not cyber) should lay off the withers and go back to when only 1 ender dragon existed at any one time and farrr away from spawn.

The way dragons spawn has changed and cannot be spawned so they will attack players in the same way. Ateph biomes change from time to time.

Why can't we use /tpa...

We never have had TPA for players.

So i just got one of those little shops, and its a bit small and limited. The other problem is spaces are limited, so i propose and alternative. How about players pay 10 or so pearls to rent a warp, which presumably would go to their base and have a shop (same rules of a normal shop should apply)

Pearl has alwasy been a mostly vanilla server, we try to limit the number of warps and only added the extended markets so players more opportunity to sell. The extended markets are smaller plots than those in the main market (at a reduced price).

#6.
Could you add some more campaign themed ranks like legend, I achieved legend the second week of playing and game-play has been kinda static since I've gotten back, I think adding more ranks would be a good addition to spice back up that area of pearl. Random Ranks in no order:
- Epic
- Overlord
- Strategist
- Legionaire
- Director
- Ultimate
- Guildmaster
- Commander

We have no plans to change the ranks other than possibly reducing the number of ranks we have.

#7.
How about adding little suffixes or prefixes to each rank, we can't tell what each others ranks are which is somewhat unfortunate.

We have discussed having prefixes for ranks and decided we did not want to add more than what we have to indicate staff so as to reduce confusion when new players login.

These are all simply suggestions to improve quality of life, please don't hate me for posting this

It would take quite a lot for me to "hate" anyone, I can't think of anyone that I hate. Suggestions are welcome just as long as you understand they may not be implemented.

 

That is a good point, thank you for that reply.
Myrank may not be as "convenient " as having a prefix or suffix to a player name however it does have the bonus of less screen clutter.
