CustomRanks

Designed for RPG servers using Towny, Essentials, ChestShop, Pex, and Vault

CustomRanks is a plugin designed specifically for servers using the plugins specified. Adds nearly unlimited ranks and perks for players on your server. This plugin builds on the emphasis of a progressive ranking system, meaning that players can acquire every rank available on the server as long as they meet the required criteria. No longer do Server Admins have to move players up and down rank ladders or shuffle players between groups, instead the groups and permissions are tied to the player. This plugin utilizes an SQL database to log player data. Plugin can run almost entirely on its own with the Autopromotion feature enabled, this allows server admins more time to deal with other server issues and also ensures players don't have to wait for an admin to be online or execute a command to get promoted! This plugin can also handle your servers donation Ranks automatically without the need for Admin intervention (optional). All donation ranks received are logged in the plugins SQL database. Admins can easily view all the history for a players donations via one simple command.
