i haven’t played since 2018 is there anything important/interesting i should know about?
You can check the news section for noteworthy changes:
We did do an economy reset at some point and switched the currency from gold ingots to diamonds. 
do you have any plans of adding more minigames like monster industries or anything for the future?
No plans as of now. But we might add a modded server to replace RLCraft shutting down.
is there any way i could help with the server? also, i keep crashing when i try to play survival, is it bugged right now or something?
