Back End
A large amount of the code running serenity has undergone major changes over the last few months, we changed how data is stored in the databases, made data easier (for the server) to access, prepped a lot of files so they can be expanded easily (and speed up the frequency of these updates), and re-wrote all the database calls that were happening so that  spawn should be a lot less of a issue for people! Huzza! Also looking deeper into the lag issues people were having we have removed snowpoop as a toggle from plots, snowmen will now always place snow because the check ot see if they were able to or not added a ton of work to the server without any real benefit.

Road Map
Looking into adding towns to the current clan/plot system. Towns would own land like a player, but would be owned by a Clan. Very start of some ideas on that front, but we'll keep you all posted.

Also looking into changing up PvP on the server, adding some lore, religions, and a lot of cool things soon.
