CavePvP Anniversary Update

Hello everyone! After a month of preparation, review, and planning, we're proud to introduce the Anniversary Update!
This update is based entirely on feedback we've received.

From our surveys and talking to people, we have seen that the biggest problems people have with Cave are (in order):
Repetitiveness, Ability Items, Cheating, Economy, and Staff.

This update is focused on addressing each of those issues properly.
