It's going to come, I just want to do some testing/waiting for updates for now. (FYI, for the crew that's been on this server since forever, I'm going to set up a tbrbeta server, get some testing done.

Xycraft, yes, mystcraft, no. Mystcraft and ars magica have some kind of server-side incompatibility. Oh, and some crafting stuffs should be fixed next update.
