We upgrade someone they get their rank, they keep the rank. but we get the payment Skyblock restarts, we lose the payment. So whats with the money wasting? We dont get to keep the payment.
The current skyblock isn't resetting. That server will still be there, you'll still have all your rares, etc. A new server will be created, with all the new features, and you can play on both servers. All ranks will be carried over .
Cyp's thread does explain these things, but people seem to not properly read it. Making an FAQ thread would make things clearer, though.
