Hey everyone. Glad to announce today the big list of changes that are being made with ArenaPvP 4.0 (originally PotionPvP). This has been an ongoing project for a good 1-2 months at this time. A large set of thanks to @SmellyPenguin for the development of most of the Season 9 features. Another thanks to @Hivlik who lead the Badlion build team for the new maps during this season and fixing up some of the old maps.

There have also been some significant back-end changes to how some of the plugin is configured. These changes will make it impossible to have your rating reset improperly when logging into the server and joining a ranked match too soon. These changes have also optimized performance for the server too, which means it should be more smooth overall.

SoupPvP Merge
- Long overdue, the SoupPvP server is being merged into the new ArenaPvP server.
- The new kits are listed below in the Kits section.
- Soup FFA world added to the server. (At the moment there are no custom kits like the current server. Everyone's kits and tokens will be moved over at a later date)
- Soup kits now have access to all of our events such as LMS, War, Slaughter, etc.
- Easier access to spectate tools and more advanced statistics for matches.
- Pretty much every feature available in ArenaPvP 4.0 and PotionPvP 3.0 is now available for Soup kits also.

Arena changes
- Add uhcbuild arena - Vanilla terrain generated for a more natural look and feel to UHC. Ability to build onto the terrain and craft items using blocks you start with. This is used in conjunction with the new Build UHC kit.

That is a long list of things for the Arena PvP 4.0 / Season 9 server launch. All of the ratings will be reset tonight at 12:01 AM EST if we are on track with our schedule. The servers will then be brought down for several hours while we work on migrating things over. The Develop server might open up for an hour or two before we take the server offline depending if we are ready to publically test or not. Due to some IRL problems for both Archybot and myself we did not have the time to get Develop online sooner this week. We will be up all night fixing bugs as they are reported though.

Good luck to all for Season 9.

P.S.
- Fixed Pot lag

I like the changes. Except the horse kit to be honest… Its already really laggy on the UHC games I can just imagine how much more laggy its going to be on PotPvp.
