Hai all,
This thread is
not an official update thread; it's what an update thread regarding the proposed changes
could look like. Furthermore, I do not fully support, nor fully oppose, the idea of altering the rank prices seeing as I am not an economist and do not know whether said changes would improve the server's revenue or not. Enjoy :)
Hello cubesters! Today we're releasing another batch of updates, this time themed around our store!
Rank price reductions
The prices of our higher-end ranks are being reduced to better match the rewards that they offer. Said prices are subject to change in the future, however we feel that as of now, they do not offer enough perks to correspond with their real-world price tag.
Iron rank: £15 - £15
Lapiz rank: £25 - £20
Gold rank: £35 - £25
Diamond rank: £55 - £40
Emerald rank: £90 - £70
Obsidian rank: £140 - £120
Compensation
"I purchased my rank prior to the price reductions. Can I have a refund?" - CCG Community, 2k17
Sadly, we do not offer refunds for any purchases made in our store. However, we understand that you may feel cheated, having paid more than the rank's newly assigned value. Therefore, we are going to be introducing a number of new rewards that are
exclusive to those who purchased their ranks prior to the price changes. Said rewards will never be obtainable ever again, making you truly unique.

New Store Items
The store sees a new batch of items! Dust off your wallets and keyboards, as you are rewarded more than ever for playing with friends!
Cubelet Collector (£2.99)
The Cubelet collector is a brand new consumable item that will increase your chances of obtaining a cubelet for the next two hours! Your usual odds will be tripled, and on top of that, you'll even have a chance to find a cubelet when you lose a game!
Furthermore, anybody that's in the same party
and game as you during the time of this item's activation will also receive the benefits of the Cubelet Collector. In fact, your odds of finding a cubelet are increased by 5% for every player involved! (Cap. 20%; buff will not take effect in 'Solo' gamemodes)
(Note: If a player leaves the party, they will lose the perk)
Lastly, all achievements that you complete will also award you with an additional cubelet!
Vanity shower (£2.99)
The Vanity shower is a new consumable item that finally gives you a chance to share vanity points with friends! Upon activation, you'll receive a small amount of vanity points for every action that you perform on the server for the next two hours. For example, getting kills will give you five vanity points, and winning games will give you one hundred. losing games will grant you a generous thirty, and all the while, every death will give you two!

Vote Voucher x5 (£1.99)
Can't afford a rank to vote for your favourite chest type, but want to be able to anyways? Well now you can, with Vote Vouchers! As implied by their name, Vote Vouchers are consumable items which allow you to
force a chest type of your choosing; once consumed, nobody will be able to vote otherwise.
In addition, Vote Vouchers can be acquired individually as a 'Rare' reward from Cubelets, and in stacks of five as a 'Legendary' reward! Absolutely tasty, mate.
Speed IV boots (£9.99)
It can be tiresome, having to run back and forth from the lobby spawn and the game signs! Well, tire no more, as we offer you a perk that will cut the time that it takes for you to run between said places in half! The 'Speed IV' boots will be displayed as enchanted Diamond boots, and can be accessed via the Vanity menu. I doubt I'll need to explain what enchantment these boots give the wearer...
Donations and Redstone rank (£20)
A 'Donate' option has been added to the store, allowing you to donate any amount of money to the server of your choosing. There will be no rewards for doing this, however we greatly appreciate your determination to keep our server up and running.
If however you donate over £20, you will receive a Redstone rank. Said rank has
no perks and grants access to two gadgets: 'Redstone Ore Transform', and 'Redstone Block Transform'
. The Redstone rank can be freely interchanged between your highest current rank via the Vanity menu, if you wish to display your main rank instead.
Other:
-/Fly is now automatically entered upon entering a lobby (Emerald+), meaning that you no longer have to retype the command to head to the stars
-There is now a party feature! See here for details:
https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/party-and-potential-features.185856/
-A Redstone rank has been added to the server, alongside a Red Prefix
-The plugin from Hide and Seek has made its way into the lobbies! You can now disguise yourself as a block of your choice, assuming you have permission to equip them. Sadly, these blocks will only be made available to those who have purchased a rank prior to the 31st March 2017 for the time being, however packs of them may become available via the store or via cubelets, later on down the line
What are your opinions on this idiot's suggestion? Also, give me some credit - I wrote this at 2:47am! :O
