We're Back

PBG has been quiet for a few months, and I want to be straight with you about it: that's on me. I've been unwell, and rather than half-run the server I let it sit. I'm sorry for the silence — you deserved an update long before now.

The good news is the server didn't sit still. Everything below has been built, tested and is live right now, waiting for you.

If you only read one section, make it the one on land claims.

⚠️ Land Claims — Please Read

While the server was quiet, the protection on a lot of builds quietly lapsed. Claims expire after 60 days without their owner logging in, and with nobody around, that timer ran out on a great many of them.

Here's what you need to know:

Your builds are fine. Nothing was deleted, rolled back or reset. Not a single block was touched. All that lapsed was the protection — the claim itself — not the thing you built.

Most claims have already been restored. I've put back every claim I had a record of, and re-protected them automatically. If you had a base before, there's a good chance it's already yours again.

Claim expiry is now switched off entirely. This cannot happen again. Take as long as you need to come back.

Some claims couldn't be restored automatically. For a smaller group of builds — mostly ones made in the last few months — the boundary records were gone, so I can't put them back without you. If that's you, I'll be reaching out on Discord. All you need to do is hop on, stand at your base, and we'll get it re-claimed in about ten seconds.

If you come back and something looks unprotected, don't panic and don't rebuild — just ping me on Discord and I'll sort it.

🧭 A Whole New Spawn

Spawn has been rebuilt from the ground up.

New players now arrive at the Academy, a proper starting area that actually teaches the game — catching, battling, type matchups — with instructors on hand and a rebuilt tutorial that walks you through your first steps instead of dumping you in a field.

From there you're out into the Plaza, the new central hub, and the districts around it: the Exchange for trading, the Colosseum for ranked, tournaments and the Frontier, the Institute, and the Village. Just about every NPC at spawn has been redesigned, and there are new faces handling warps, help and the bulletin board.

🌀 The Ticket Booth Is Gone

Dimension tickets are retired. No more buying timed access, no more countdown timer ticking away while you explore.

Ultra Space and Zenith are now free to enter — head to the Warp Master at spawn and pick your destination.

🏠 Player Warps

You can now set your own public warps, sorted into Shops, Public, Farms, Builds and Events, so other players can find what you've made.

How many you get scales with your rank, and you can buy more — slot packs run ₽25,000 for one, ₽65,000 for three and ₽100,000 for five. You can also promote a warp to get it seen. (Warps can't be set inside the minigame, Area Zero, Ultra Space or Zenith worlds.)

💰 Economy, Shops & The Battle Pass

One Shop Hub. Every shop on the server now lives under a single roof — general goods, battle items, vote rewards, minigame prizes and more, all in one place instead of scattered across NPCs.

A daily rotating stall cycles through skins and cosmetics, so there's a reason to check in each day.

Park Gems are a new premium currency, with their own range of gem-only cosmetics.

Battle Pass Season 2 is live and runs through to 23 September, finishing on a random legendary.

Prices got a pass too: plushies are now sorted into five rarity tiers, and TMs and TRs are flat-priced at ₽14,000 and ₽9,000.

🎩 Cosmetics, Skins & Decoration

• 60 new hats, including shiny variants
• Two full sets of Pokémon skins, available through their own crates
• Hundreds of new decoration blocks, plushies and furniture pieces to build with
• Custom skin forms are now locked against evolving, so a skin you've paid for stays the way you like it

✨ Everything Looks Different

Every menu on the server — all 119 of them — has been redesigned to one consistent look, along with a cleaner sidebar and tab list.

🎁 Crates & Daily Rewards

Daily rewards are now a 31-day run with a much better prize table. Fair warning: the streak is stricter than it was. Miss a day and it resets.

Vote crates have been substantially upgraded and can now drop mega stones, tera shards, Z-crystals, evolution stones and shiny plushies. The daily crate has been slimmed down to the things people actually wanted.

⚖ Balance & Fixes

• Pokémon levels now scale properly per dimension, with sensible floors and caps
• Roaming legendaries turn up on a less predictable schedule, with fairer odds across tiers
• Catch-combo bonuses are now capped
• Raid announcements display star ratings properly
• /daily no longer crashes on days 29–31
• Voltorb Flip tiles render correctly again
• Fixed shop and menu icons showing as broken glyphs
• Corrected a batch of species names and habitats that were quietly stopping some spawns from working

⏪ Missed the May Update?

If you were away before the break too, the May update was a big one and it's all still here: the Cosmetics system, Area Zero for Paradox hunting, NPC Gyms in Zenith with easy/medium/hard rematches and the Royal League gauntlet, the Quest system, Battle Points, the Bazaar player market, Briar Ventures, Frontier Season 1, global leaderboards, and rewards arriving safely in /mail.

🔜 Still To Come

There's more built and in testing that isn't live yet — a reworked hunts system with progression and its own shop, a rebuilt quest system, gym challenges with proper leaderboards and seasonal resets, and raid dens. I'd rather bring those over once they've had a proper shakedown than rush them out and break your first week back.

📌 TL;DR

• Your builds are safe. Claims that lapsed have mostly been restored, and expiry is now off for good
• If your claim wasn't restored, hop on and find me on Discord — it's a ten-second fix
• Spawn rebuilt with an Academy, Plaza and districts
• The ticket booth is gone — Ultra Space and Zenith are free to enter (Area Zero has its own entry requirements)
• Player Warps, Park Gems, and Battle Pass Season 2 (ends 23 September)
• One unified Shop Hub, 60 new hats, two skin sets, hundreds of new decorations
• Every menu redesigned; daily rewards and vote crates overhauled

Thanks for sticking around. Come say hello.
