#### Known History

NavalClash began operating in June 2017 by Droopystarfish and Sidewalk running Minecraft version 1.8.8. Sidewalk recieved codes for Navycraft after the closing of the original Naval Battlezone. Server has been under ownership by Droopystarfish ever since opening.

Maximuspayne made a short apperance to update the plugin to 1.12.2 with alot of bugs and dissapered again.

The server has had multiple head admins over time, with new features added and removed. The server was competing with IronSeas until 2018, where Ironseas was taken over by Navalclash, essentially taking over Ironseas being ran by Solmex and others from that server. Solmex then became Head Admin & Developer of Navaclash.

Maximuspayne made another short apperance to update the plugin leaving alot of bugs and dissapered again.

While Solmex was buisy updating NavalClash Droopy engaged the services of a new coder to recreate the server in the latest version,Solmex too issue with the owner using a ouside coder to create a new plugin from scratch. Solmex then decided to step down as a staff member in 2019, leaving Droopystarfish and other staff members to fix bugs on there own. Which they did and have been doing to the best of there ability ever since.

NavalClash went through many iterations, updates, map changes and gamemodes.

By January 2020, the population had dropped by 98% due to opening of new navycraft server, Naval Battlezone (2nd version Solmex). The owner, Droopystarfish had not interacted with server directly choosing to trust his staff to manage the server, the staff betrayed this trust by leaving to go to NBZ2.

In February 3rd 2020, the owner DroopyStarfish announced the server was closing and would be undergoing a change of code. By July 2020, the server activity was closed to the public except for donors whom funds were being used to pay for new coder and donors may assist in a closed Beta of the new code. Due to rising costs Droopy was unable to pay the developer any more money leaving the new update in limbo. With the initial costing of a recode coming in at $500 - $750 it quickley surpased that number.

The server shut down in the first quarter of 2020. Droopy had no intention of restarting the server having had to face toxicity almost every day of operation from 2017 - 2020. People betraying him, people he thought he could trust. Too many missunderstandings and egos to boot.

The server is periodically OPEN on and off.

Ownership wanting to provide alternative to NavalClash due to issues it's management had and rough treatment of the many long time staff members. Solmex stepping down from the head admin / coder position on NavalClash gave him time to copy it.

Many former staff or the original Naval Battlezone and NavalClash staff the server as many players have apparently left NavalClash due to neglect and poor staffing levels. Clash was known for it's toxic player base which has been that way for a long time.

NBZ 2 used the same Large Earth Map originally found on Naval Battlezone and NavalClash. By September 2020, new map original map has since been added. Some player bases from opening of the server were not happy of the economy of charging of spawning due to NavalClash's free vehicle spawning. The server split separate server, with a Network Hub for players to initially login. Combat world is now known as Main (server), Shipyard now it's own separate server, and finally the Arcade.
