I'm sorry if this has already been discussed, and I'm just out of the loop, but towny perms have been screwed up lately. Namely /town add. I'm an assistant in Naxos, and even when I get players eager to join our small town, I can't add them I know several other players have mentioned this in-game, but a few have told me that this problem is resolved for them, and it's certainly not for me. I just wanted to see what was up. Edit: Forget about this, Moose resolved it I was in the nether as I tried to add people.
So yes, the way to resolve it is to change worlds. Occasionly some commands won't work in any world; for those you needan admin to do them.
Occasionally? Its all the time, to stop idiots making a town in the worlds like nether and spawn Sent from my GT-N8010 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
