Rank Price Change

Subscription rank prices updated.

  • Donut++ is now $9.99
  • Donut+++ is now $14.99
  • Existing subscribers can cancel and re-subscribe at the new prices
Update

/sell Rework + Order Integration

/sell now automatically matches you with better-paying orders instead of only selling to the server.

  • /sell now checks player orders first — if someone is paying more than the server price, your items go to them automatically
  • Auction house listings match against orders — you get paid more if an order beats your asking price
  • Creating an order auto-buys matching auction listings within your price
  • Same logic applies to spawners and the amethyst sell axe
Update

Major Server Update

Scheduled multi-hour downtime for a large backend update — the first step toward the upcoming border expansion.

  • Multi-hour downtime for backend overhaul
  • Team confirmed this is not the border expansion, but a piece of the progress toward it
  • Keys converted to shards for all players
  • Fixed intermittent limbo issues that appeared during rollout
  • Achievements and statistics now work fully on the server

Rule

⚠️ New Rule: No External Gambling

Gambling is an action where users bet coins, items, or other value for an uncertain prize, and it's not allowed if you're betting on chances outside of the server.

Examples of what's now banned:

  • Casinos
  • Coin flip
  • Chance games
  • Lotteries
  • Raffles

You are not allowed to gamble using Discord bots or any other external tools anymore. This rule was added because people were intentionally promoting massive external gambling operations.
