    Hey everyone.

    As I'm sure many of you know, the Premium Crates we had before were EULA breaking. So we decided to change them to only give cosmetics instead of items.

    All of the other crates (Voting, Daily, Bonus) still give Minecraft items, this change only affects the Premium Crate.

    There are currently 3 cosmetic plugins on the server: SuperTrails, GadgetsMenu, and Emotes.

    The Premium Crate now has 72 cosmetic items total, compared to the ~45 from the previous crate.

    The way the Premium Crate works has also been changed. Instead of turning into a platform with 4 chests, you pick 4 chests from within a small GUI. The crate does its shuffle thing and you're presented with 4 Prizes of differing rarity.

    Pictures:

    Each rarity type has a chance to drop, then each item within that rarity has a chance to drop.
    So when you select a chest you'll have a 27% chance to get an Uncommon chest, then an 8% chance to get the Ender Trail from the Uncommon item pool.

    Here is the list of items in the Premium Chest, organized by plugin and rarity:

    Tiers:
    Common 35% - 12 items - 10 items with 8/100 chance, 2 with 10/100
    Uncommon25% - 15 items - 10 items 6/100 chance, 5 with 5/100
    Rare 20% - 20 items - each with 1/5 chance
    Exotic15% - 8 items - 6 with 12/100 chance, 2 with 14/100
    Legendary5% - 11 items - 10 with 9/100 chance, 1 with 10/100
    Artifact1% - 6 items - 5 with 17/100 chance, 1 with 15/100

    I actually liked the premium chests with the random items and the way it was before this change. I have no use for cosmetics.

    They broke the EULA. The cosmetic crate no longer breaks the EULA.

    Will you be changing the daily and voting chests?

    Eventually yes, we'll be adding more items to them. We won't be making them cosmetic though. We're also considering adding the old Premium Crate as a new special crate type.

    Mr Butters For a few to be immortal, many must die. VIP

    Any chance of people that bought keys BEFORE knowing they broke EULA getting compensated with keys so we dont HAVE to spend more money just to get cosmetics.

  8. We will not be issuing refunds or giving out replacement keys for the updated Premium Crate. When you purchased your keys previously, you opened the crates for which you paid.

    We've already received all the benefits from the non-EULA compliant crates and those items were not taken away from us. Giving us more keys to spend on the new crates does not make sense. You don't "HAVE" to get cosmetics, that's your choice.
