Hey guys,

Here's another list of updates that will be rolled out to Xeal Gaming Network in the next coming month or so!

Xeal 1.9.2
In Progress
For progress updates on Xeal 1.9.2, please refer to our announcement thread for it.

Stats Reset (Votes + Playtime)
Completed
Stats plugin has been changed and the vote tracking count plugin has been changed. You should now do /onlinetime to track your new playtime and /vr stats to check your vote count. For the next two weeks, we will not take vote count into consideration for rank and staff applications and you will be allowed to quote your pre-wipe playtime. (Lying about playtime however, is punishable)

Donation Sales
ETA: End April
We are in need of server funding, please support your favourite server! There will be a donation sales featuring bulk discounts and bonuses for donations, stay tuned for more information!

Reintroduction of Jobs
ETA: Early May
Jobs plugin will be reintroduced into the Factions (Main) server with the following changes in order to reduce inflation: Wipe all stats from pre-wipe, limit player max jobs to 1 or 2, increased leveling difficulty and lowered payout curve. This is done to ensure that players can have an alternative source of income besides selling raw materials on AuctionHouse by the use of /ah or the traditional /sell.

Server Shop and Donor Zone
ETA: Early-Mid May
The server shop and donor zone will be added to the Factions (Main) server in due course. The server shop will have a wide variety options for buyers but will come at a price premium.

Custom Items and Boss Battles
ETA: When Zal is happy with it
We are testing with adding custom items that might be better then vanilla tools into the game, and to make these items only droppable by "bosses". Weigh in on this idea:

Thats it for now, more may be added!
