Spoiler

 

Completed Actions:

1. Spoiler

    

   1. Bring back PvE awards!
   2. announce sign at spawn that Verifies your Renowned Archaeologist paper
   3. ...I mean, legendary
   4. I think next revs map should be smaller. Player base is smaller, elytra are harder to get so the extra distance isn't really needed, and smaller maps would keep people closer together
