Ranks & Commands

This page does need updating for all existing ranks (Markus or Chailey?)

Donators:

Ranking is safe to use for donators, I use a track system that only promotes people up the in-game ranking track, it wont touch your donator track.

It seems that Older donator players are unable to get past that annoying choose a path screen (That I cant even edit the text on!) Do try the reset sign, but we did some testing earlier and it didn’t work for some donators (It only costs £10 in-game, so no loss). I have submitted a bug report for this as its how data is being saved for donators. Bare with, I want all staff & dontors to be able to rank up, it should work, but because of the way old data is saved/converted its not for some donators.
