FTB - It's alive!

General - Trello!
Our old method of tracking tasks was a google spreadsheet, and it was awful. Tasks were static, manipulating data was a pain, and there just wasn't enough flexibility to be useful. We decided to switch to Trello, a task tracking and organization service that gives us much more power to make tasks and collaborate! Want to see what we're working on? Come check it out!
Survival - Changes to the guest experience
Ever since we removed the quiz, the guest experience has been inconsistent. We had an awesome tutorial, but we spammed "take the tutorial" messages while guests were taking the tutorial, guests...
We are testing out a new option for our server today: /tpa (/call)!
/tpa <player>:
Request any player teleport you to their location. You are notified if they don't have permission to accept teleports.
/tphere <player>:
Generally the same as /tpa, but requests a player to teleport to you.
/tpaccept [request#]:
Accept a teleport request, either from /tpa or /tphere. If you have multiple open requests, you can optionally list the request number to accept.
/tprequests:
A list of recent teleport requests that you have recieved.
Keep in mind that this is all subject to change, especially since this is a trial run.

Not many changes have been made, but they are important ones to know!
The quiz has (finally) been replaced with /tutorial! Though the quiz still functions, guests are now directed to use /tutorial to rank up and play on ShadeCrest.
Present for VIP's: /hat is back! It is purely cosmetic and currently does not support banners (soon...). Just have any block in your hand and type /hat. If you already had something on your head, it swaps the two items.
Fixed /warp cost and /warp purchase again... Sorry about that.
Please if possible, hold off on changing your name for now.
Some of our plugins have issues with name changes and while a lot of things are properly tied to your UUID, some of the plugins apprently have issues. I will not bother listing all the issues, just know that if you change your name right now you will be creating a headache for yourself and for the admins.
We apologize for the inconvenience if you have or are intending on changing your name. If people could hold off like I said, then the admins will have more time to focus on getting addons updated or replaced if they are not being maintained by the authors.
If you do end up changing your name and find a bug, a humble reminder of one of our general rules
