Changelog
The most important features/modifications implemented towards this season's map and functions are the following.
👋 Important Notice! About our Survival

We're excited to let you know about some big changes to our server setup.
After a lot of thought and major improvements, we've decided to make our survival experience simpler by getting rid of the system that had multiple worlds. We're confident that we can still offer a great survival game without needing different worlds.
🔧We've fixed the problem with losing data.
A big plus of this new approach is that we've taken care of any issues with losing player data, like what's in your inventory or vaults. You can be sure that the progress you work hard for won't disappear when you move around now.
Also, this change has helped us fix any problems with item duplications, making sure everyone has a fair and fun time playing.

With the choice of going back to one server, we will need to keep monitoring the performance and tweak this to our liking upon release.
If the performance is a bit shaky at the start, do not worry, we will be keeping a close eye on the new survival to let as many players in to play with a good server performance.

Hello Survival Players,
From everything listed in this thread, our reset seems like it will be quite nice this time around! We are getting nicks and chat colors updated, which I hope is well received. As well, single world wasn't doing well on Jartex, so we can only hope Pika's will run more effectively. The NPC updates and things around Spawn World should improve quality of gameplay and economy, especially with gold coins. One of the most important updates, is the bugs patched and returning features to make Survival work and run as intended. These are just a couple of the things that stuck out to me, but all the new features and returning features look quite satisfactory; I'm thrilled we'll all be seeing them in-game shortly too.
As long as everything goes smoothly, and they put fourth energy towards any tweaking that needs to be done, this season should be spectacular. I'm truly glad Pika was able to give us such an opportunity to have a fantastic season after all our patience.

High hopes to a great Survival season, and I can't wait to see everyone return next season!

Exciting news for the PikaNetwork community! The upcoming reset and update for the Survival server sound like a game-changer. The decision to simplify the survival experience by removing multiple worlds is a bold move, and I'm eager to see how it enhances gameplay.

The addition of new features like player levels, skills, and trading brings a fresh layer of complexity to the game. The 10 new skills, each with its unique abilities, provide diverse gameplay options, making the journey to Level 150 even more enticing.

I'm particularly intrigued by the revamped crates, trading system, and the introduction of the Traveling Merchant. These elements promise a dynamic in-game economy and foster player interaction.

Moreover, the aesthetic overhaul and the addition of vibrant chat and nickname colors add a delightful touch to the overall gaming experience. It's great to see the server adapting and evolving with the times.

I'm looking forward to diving into the new season, exploring the medieval-themed spawn, and embracing the challenges that come with the 1.20 update. Kudos to the PikaNetwork team for their hard work and dedication to keeping the server fresh and engaging. See you all in the new Survival season!
