Spigot 1.8 Essentials /fly permission issues? (Minecraft Server)?

I have recently updated my Minecraft 1.7.10 server to 1.8. I downloaded Spigots version of Essentials {1.8 version} since Essentials has yet to updated their official plugin. I'm having permission issues with this essentials though. Many people on the server have bought fly mode but the permission isn't working. I use GroupManager for permissions and use the command /manuaddp [player] essentials.fly
It says I have given the player that permission, but each time I do, every play still says they can't do /fly (it says the 'you do not have permission' msg) Does anyone have any ideas on why this is happening or what I need to do instead to fix it? All the other permissions are working (besides /feed which many players need that one as well)

Any games I'll spend a lot of time on easily?

I mostly enjoy MMOs and RPGs, but I'll also enjoy other genres like action and adventure. The last time I spent over 100 hours on a game was Minecraft, which I still play almost every day. I bought it in sep 2010, and have spent over 1k hours on a single server. I'm 13, so the rating has to be T or below for any game I play. I have steam

Is it wise to prepare Minecraft multiplayer maps offline for community hubs and lobby?

Is it wise to prepare Minecraft multiplayer maps offline for community hubs and lobby?

Added (1). Lets say a planned server costs a lot i.e. $100 per month. Is it possible and would it make sense technically to create hubs and lobbies on a single player map?

The goal being to save money.

I want to know pitfalls, if any. I think the preparation for hubs and lobbies could take 4 months as they are to be designed for a School.

Village would be a main feature, community farm (a lot of teaching in that area), each School house would have a hub and each designed differently.
