## Eras of EarthPol V4

### **Era of Hype:**

Beginning on July 17th, 2021, the **Hype** period began at the very start of V4 - Version four of **EarthPol** and saw a large thriving and active player base drawing in players from other Towny servers and new players to the server genre alike.

### Hype Era Expanded:

Among the first nations to be formed were in this era were **Japan, Deutschland, France, Gran Perú** and a few others. Originally the first siege war to be conducted was on the Prevailing nation of **Deutschland** and subsequent attacks saw the collapse of the **First Germanic Empire**. After these events a multitude of wars would spring out getting gradually larger over time, seeing nations that once hailed supreme collapse and fall and be rebuilt again. During this time the first set of Event like plans had been set forth into motion by the likes of the Developers such as Ronin, FlintSH, Delta and 0xbit resulting in a really cool PVP event and a multitude of Indestructible structures for Easter egg hunts.

### **Turbulence Era:**

Starting On October, 1st, 2021 EarthPol began experiencing a decline of players, this was mostly contributed to players having to go back to School but this Era was also plagued by Staff Misconduct and disagreements and lack of progress to adequately provide new and exciting features to the server.

### Turbulence Era Expanded:

This time saw a lot of decline in the total player base at points reaching to 0 players online during the night and 5 to 8 players during the day at it's lowest point. Among the many issue's plaguing this time the most notable was the failure to deliver the October, 31st Halloween Event and the reports of Admins and Developers Illegally obtaining Items via Creative and even participating in Sieges and aiding nations with these items. The eventual subsequent fallout left a great deal of mistrust in the Staff team going forward and eye's began to focus on any displays of abuse. This Era eventually ended with the loss of much if not all the staff team members such as FlintSH, Ronin, Delta and Spectromedia to name a few leaving 0xbit as almost the sole leader of the Servers Development going forward, attempts were made to help the server by remaining staff but were turned down or were not pursued.

### **Resurgence Era:**

Beginning on November 10th, 2021 the population of EarthPol saw a brief Resurgence in it's player base due to the servers owner advertising the server more and an overall strong and resilient player base.

### Resurgence Era Expanded:

Around this time the server saw an influx of players and a form of normalcy swept the server. Many more nations were formed in this period than the other periods and saw the return of a single event for EarthPol community Birthday. This was by far one of the greatest times of success for the server and saw a great increase in sieges as well and the formation and rebirth of EarthPols economy and love for the server. Other things that happened during this time was a ton more features getting added like Mcmmo and many polls making EarthPols future very bright.

### **Era of Decay:**

This began sometime in around December 4th, 2021 seeing many problems ranging from banning's of prominent players to reports of abuse from Lead staff to the eventual Selling of the server.

### Decay Era expanded:

To begin with this time saw the great demise of ownership over the server and the loss of it's prominent PVP community and player base. Many factors eventually lead to this outcome and fingers could be pointed any which way but this time was the darkest EarthPol faced yet, a great majority of the player base was silenced and was leaving on mass. Eventually 0xbit the server owner decided to sell the server for $ 7,000 and moved on. The new owner TheCuriousMiner would then take ownership of it and begin his work immediately however 0xbit would remain for a month to oversee it's exchange went smoothly.

### **Rebirth Era:**

Ended on 3/9/2022 it began in January with the creation of Community events and Polls. The server was also moved from it's original hosts and were given a few improvements and the hiring of new and old staff members. The Server Died on this day 3/9/2022 More Information
