Windsor

Where Tomorrow Begins.

**Windsor** is the only official modern-themed city on Vexius (as of March 2020). Located on a very large island, it contains several tall skyscrapers, massive bridge, many master-planned housing districts, and free build districts. It is part of The Union Realm, and the second largest city on the server.

The town is owned and operated by mattfr and Snowpix, with over 60 residents living there. mattfr runs the aesthetics and planning of the city, and Snowpix builds the major constructions. This is the fourth town founded by mattfr after Babylon, Faventia, and Paris. It is accessible by typing /t spawn Windsor.

The town is open to everybody, and is joinable by typing /t join Windsor. 64x32 plots are available for free.

## History (1.14-1.15)

### Windsor's First Era (November 23 - March 21)

Windsor was formed on November 23rd, 2019, after mattfr and Snowpix left the city of Babylon after a disagreement with the mayor at the time, PattGoesMoo, over modernizing and redeveloping the city. They then went on to found Windsor as a brand new town, leaving Babylon in its older fashioned style and allowing Matt and Snowpix to build their modern city. After Windsor's founding, the Legacy Tower was built first by Snowpix, which now serves as the city hall for Windsor. Soon after, rapid development began in the city's downtown area, with Windsor Commercial Center (WCC) One and Tuscan Towers being built soon after. The M Global Complex was finished very quickly by December 25, 2019, and WCC Two was finished on January 3rd, 2020. The Golden Gate Bridge began construction in January 2020, with an unknown finish date. It is currently 70% complete. The Salesforce Building was built in late January, while WCC Three and Four were completed over a week in February 2020. A new set of buildings were being constructed over by the newly built Hyatt Hotel just before the Fall.

The head of house construction, Crystaliaah, began work on the master-planned neighborhood of Vernon Park in late December of 2019, with around 8 units being complete as of January 2020. The free-build area of the city was formed around the same time. Housing construction had unfortunately been stalled as of February 2020 due to Crystaliaah's grounding.

Windsor was a founding member of The Union Realm, along with the city of Babylon.

### The Fall of March 2020

On the very early morning of March 21, 2020, Snowpix, mattfr and PattGoesMoo pooled together their money to found The Union Realm, the server's first and only nation. Unfortunately, they all went to bed not remembering to put money into Windsor's town bank after spending all of its money to create the nation. Overnight, the city fell, losing all of its land and players. The town was in great danger. Luckily, the mayor of Rurion, NerdNerd100, claimed the area and saved it from unscrupulous individuals who wanted to either steal the land or destroy the city in a fit of jealousy or stupidity. Some players tried to buy the city from Nerd, but Nerd proved to be a good and moral person and refused to do so. He instead messaged Snowpix and informed him of the situation, returning the city to Snow under the agreement that Nerd would be a co-mayor and get a headquarters for NerdCo in the city. Snowpix happily agreed and recreated the city. With help from Nerd, Zombomb, and Matt, Windsor was able to completely reclaim its territory and the town was completely restored. This event got rid of the inactive players clogging up Windsor's population, and threw it into its Second Era. Unfortunately for Nerd however, a player named Halfmoon decided to destroy Nerd's former town of Rurion by stealing its money and forcing its fall to take the place for his town.

### The Second Era (March 21 - Now)

Since the Fall purged all of the inactive players, Windsor is now made up of only players that are active as of now. Nerd began construction of a Rockefeller Centre themed Casino which also doubles as the headquarters for the server's leading employer, NerdCorp, beginning the plan for more development in the city. The neighbourhood that was being constructed has continued being built, unhindered by the Fall. The entire neighbourhood of Vernon has been demolished in order to replace the houses with new apartment buildings to create a buffer between houses and skyscrapers, and construction of a brand new railway station is underway. This will be the main station for an intercity rail system connecting every city on the server together. The city's landmass was also significantly increased due to the Windsor Land Reclaimation Project, increasing the size of Windsor's downtown by over 30% in order to accomodate new builds.

## Buildings

All major constructions were built by Snowpix unless otherwise noted.

### Legacy Tower

The Legacy Tower was the first building constructed in Windsor, and currently functions as the town spawn. When players do /t spawn Windsor, they will spawn in this building's lobby. The building also contains offices for town officials, and the city rule boards and to-do lists. It is modeled after the real-life Willis Tower in Chicago, and is made of black concrete, black stained glass, and spruce planks, and can be recognized by its two large antennas. It is the second tallest building in the city.

### WCC One

Windsor Commercial Center One, or WCC One, was the second tower built and is the tallest building in Windsor. This building is the one that has taken the longest of all buildings in the city to construct due to the sheer amount of blue stained glass that was needed to build it. It contains the city's history museum, but is otherwise empty since the original plan for it (a giant chestshop that citizens could own shops in) was disrupted after chestshops were removed and no better purpose has been found. It is the main building in the WCC complex. It is modeled after the real-life Freedom Tower in New York City. It is recognizable by its 4 large white vertical triangles that create 4 more diagonal triangles in the corners, and its large red and white antenna. It is constructed of white concrete, blue stained glass, light gray concrete, stone bricks, and regular glass.

### WCC Two

Windsor Commercial Center Two is a very recognizable building. It is the city of Babylon's embassy in Windsor, though it currently has no interior. It is the second building in the Windsor Commercial Center Complex, modeled after the original design for the new World Trade Center Two in New York before that design was scrapped in 2007. It is very recognizable due to its distinctive 4 diamond shapes on its roof. It is constructed of white concrete, light blue stained glass, and stone slabs.

### Tuscan Towers

Tuscan Towers is currently the only apartment building in Windsor. Built for an ambitious idea by Snowpix to have an apartment rental system where a citizen could own the building and set rules and rent for tenants, that idea ultimately has failed due to people being independent and mistrustful of others. An original design, it is made of concrete, glass, and jungle planks. It was originally a 3-story office building on Creative, before being upgraded to 8 stories and being built in Faventia on 1.13. It was increased in height again to its current height of 11 stories in Windsor. Currently, it has just 1 apartment with none others.

### M Global Complex

Made up of two buildings, the M Global Complex was completed in record time over 2 days. The main building, the M Global Headquarters, was completed in just 3 hours. The district acts as the global headquarters for the M Global company, a massive real estate conglomerate owned by the city of Windsor, and operated by its mayor. Both buildings were designed by mattfr. The complex also includes a statue that marks the founding of Windsor. They are constructed mainly out of gray and white concrete, with blue (main building) and orange (curved building) concrete around the floors. The floors are made of jungle planks, and both buildings use white stained glass.

### WCC Three

WCC Three is an office building in Windsor, and the third building in the Windsor Commercial Complex to be built. It has a distinctive design, with many quartz rings around the frame of the building which gives it an interesting look and gives the illusion of it having more floors than it actually has. It is heavily based on the Eclipse Towers apartment building in Grand Theft Auto V. It is constructed of gray and white concrete, quartz, oak planks, and black stained glass.

### WCC Four

WCC Four is an office building in Windsor, and the fourth building in the Windsor Commercial Complex to be completed. An original design by mattfr, it has two light gray vertical facades and a light gray horizontal facade that intersect across the gray building. It is the only building in Windsor with a central elevator shaft instead of the elevator shaft being located along the sides, and is constructed of gray and light gray concrete, oak planks, and gray stained glass panes.

### Salesforce Building

The Salesforce Building is a short office building in Windsor, located next to Tuscan Towers. It boasts a large amount of floor space and plenty of balconies. It is currently available for office or embassy use. It is constructed of gray concrete, black stained glass panes, and jungle and oak planks. It also features a penthouse on the top floor, with even more space.
