Prison Season 8.0
This upcoming Prison reset has been in development behind the scenes for the past month. The main focus for Prison Season 8 is to bring forward new content, alongside fixing some underlying lag issues caused by very old and now outdated plugins. We have taken this opportunity to remake a lot of the backend, allowing for us to continue to expand on our Prison server in the future with simplicity and ease.

Whilst we have tried our best to document all changes, do note some small things may have been forgotten to be noted! As always with our resets, we plan to continue adding to this list of changes post-launch, so keep an eye out on our future changelogs once the season has begun! Enjoy the nice render of the upcoming spawn below!
