10HeartsAdmin: I agree that the amount of time players have available to play games is very different and can easily create unbalanced gameplay, so our "player time" to rank up is based off when they joined, not how many hours they have been on the server.
Drake_Ravine: I don't hate server owners who chose to have donation ranks, some players love spending their money to be "better" and its great that they can get that from servers like some of yours.
Just like some players love creative, pvp, pve, anarchy - there is a server out there for any taste and that's one of the things i love about our community as a whole.
Thank you both for the positive feedback about my vision for the server, it is very nice to hear! Wish you the best of luck with your servers also
