Map Helper Rank:
We released the map helper rank this week, check out the thread here:
https://escaperestart.com/forum/threads/aod-map-helper-rank.20507/
The details for applying are listed in the thread if you are interested.

As a clarification (mostly for raxo), this isn't an actual staff rank, just a way for players to help out on the servers by making it more enjoying by selecting ranks, so helpers don't go on the staff roster.

Promotions:
As mentioned in the section above, we released the map helper rank. The following players were promoted to Map Helper:

Lag:
A number of performance improvements have been made over the past week. Hopefully this should make the server a lot more enjoyable. Speak to ComputerGuy_ if you have any other issues with lag.

Map Changes:
The map rotation has been changed. The following maps have been added:

Seaspray Rig
Isles
Lockdown
Safari
Academy
Aerodash
Campus
Crop Circles
Echo Grotto
House of Terror
Purgatory
Clockwork
Desert OPs
Dourbridge

As well as this, some maps have been disabled if they were voted as unfavourable or seemed to be getting a bit old:
