Starting now, I highly suggest everyone start selling off their valuables etc, and look into preparing for a new map. Buy as much land as you possibly can, after all your rank is what will be counted on the next map.
There is a new server shop in the UFO, it's both command shop, as well as a sign shop, due to the fact that the command shop is rather outdated.
In the UFO, you can now sell quartz blocks of any kind, including half slabs and stairs. You can also now sell glowstone in the UFO.
