      <title>Patch Notes 3/25 2017</title>
      <description>Maintenance will start very soon.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Guard Ban is now working and functional for the staff team to use.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Features&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;- Guard ban - Allows a staff member to ban a user from using guard.&lt;br&gt;- Adding Pointshop 1&lt;br&gt;- Customized Pointshop 1 UI&lt;br&gt;- Pointshop 1 will come with a list of new items and features&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Removing&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;- ExclServer Shop&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;General Changes&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;- Returning credits every player who participated in our BETA.  Unfortunately, you could be getting less than what you made originally earned during the BETA. It is impossible to swap over credits from a database to another very different database.  We will give around 5-7.5k to every player who first joins.  This could change during the time of the maintenance.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;- Fixing issues with Guard Ban&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;More changes will be listed soon . . .&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>
