Summer Explosion

World Management

Because the server was still in its infancy, there was only one main world at the time, named PublicWorld. Today, this world is accessible under the warp name trusty_creative, and all original builds are still intact.

Multiworld access was just recently being tested, thanks to the Multiverse plugin. Because new players would spawn in PublicWorld by default, they were restricted from building thanks to PermissionsEx and other protection plugins.

Player Activity

Shortly after the server was started, player Leafpool10120, another friend known in real life, joined the server.

Leafpool was responsible for many builds on the server, such as her house, the city hall, and a bakery.

IJWTB Joins the Server

The server was heavily influenced by the Garry's Mod server I Just Want to Build, which is why many rank names are cloned after IJWTB ranks.

Because Noor played heavily on IJWTB, he had many friends on there that were willing to join, including samoo21, geniusface1234, and InkSansy. They all built houses in PublicWorld, with all of them having their own personal worlds as well, but genuisface and samoo had relatively empty worlds. InkSansy, however, made an entire amusement park in her world with the help of SebCake. This world is known as TaleDark, and while there is a bus to TaleDark in PublicWorld, it does not function since TaleDark is not loaded in the server by default. However, it may be loaded on request.

Many IJWTB players played on the server, including but not limit to:

  • samoo21
  • geniusface1234
  • InkSansy
  • SebCake
  • Supersonicmathew
  • Xandertron5000

  • Cryrotheum
  • scruffygamer
  • Novanance
  • chichi0007
  • PiguBones

At the time, most of these players were the only players on the server, with the exceptions being gamer_girl45 (aka Kami3d2y), word_girl, and of course, Noor.

Cryotheum

If you recognize the name Cryrotheum, congrats, you're old enough to remember icri!

On 2016-07-12, a player nicknamed Cry logged into the server for the first time. Friends with PiguBones, Cry was also technically skilled enough to host his own server. Noor and Cry instantly became friends over this, and Cry helped around on the server.

The next day, he was promoted to Moderator. 2 days after that, he was promoted to Developer, the same status as Noor, with full control over the server. He was trusted incredibly quickly and helped tremendously later on in the server, polishing it up and making it scalable.

Conclusion

The server had acquired its second (and to this date, last) developer thanks to the connections made on IJWTB. Many people joined and had fun, but nothing significant other than Cry's developer promotion happened. Since the server was still young, it was still using IJWTB to bring in new players and establish activity and history. Critics may say that the server hadn't formed its own identity yet, and that it was feeding off IJWTB in order to survive.
