In this post I'll be adding all the patch notes and news about the new map, so check it every day to keep yourself updated on everything.

Patch notes:

• Backpacks are making a return, if you have purchased a backpack in the past you can now see it by using /backpack
• The new map, Haven, will start at a size of 2000x2000. However, once the 1.7 biomes are released the map will be expanded to the size of 10000x10000. 
• With the huge size of Haven, new methods of fast travel will be implemented like teleportation pads
• Re-design of the graveyard system to allow for better recovery (Sky graveyards with teleport pads/etc)
