    Recently, I have heard a lot about ranks like Ultimate and Supreme aren't getting a lot for what they payed for and they want more perks.
    Well, we could add a lot more tiny perks right? Like a simple uhmm, cheaper prices at the meep shop, or maybe an extra soup in kitpvp, or a shorter recharging time of heal. Idk, those are small perks. But what I have noticed is that some ranks don't have big perks.

    I suggest that we should add another big perk to some rank (citizens included), but that will be your choice (and obviously the staff's as well) in the comments if you agree. What I am suggesting here is an example of a big perk that could be taken into consideration.

    Parachutes --

    Parachutes are a really cool, simple, and basically lag-free perk. They are also really easy to use (Depending on how the developers implement them, for the most part it's simple).

    For example:

    1. Do /parachute
    2. Select your design
    3. Right click to deploy and jump off a skyscraper overlooking a canyon filled with flowers

    Why would your suggestion benefit meepcraft? It would add another perk to make players feel they have what is worth for the amount of money they payed for especially for ranks that complain about not having enough stuff. Aside from that, it's just plain cool and nice to have, not to mention fun to use as well.
    Who would this benefit? I think that everyone should have this perk including citizens. That way they all have access to do the same thing. However, to make use of the rank system, we can add 1-3 different designs for each rank that the lower ranks could not have access to. Or, just make it so a certain rank+ has all the designs and everything below had nothing including access to use parachutes. This is ultimately left for the staff to decide, I am simply suggesting an idea.
    About how long will this take to be implemented, if it is accepted? I feel like it should take a day or two at the most. It's a simple plugin with easy configuration to who has access to use it.
    Would this cause more lag? I doubt it because you are simply gliding (falling) in a much slower pace.

    Here are some example plugins (Not saying this is what should be used. It's just a simple idea on what I'm talking about)

    I believe it is possible to add different designs using the new feature of custom banners. If it is not, we can of course just keep it plain using an array of cobwebs or chickens (I know that is possible for sure). However, I personally think different designs and colors would be cool to implement.
