Melofors

**Melofors** was a player who joined in August 2019. His most significant contribution to the server is his efforts towards the Overworld highways with his group the Overworld Highway Corporation (co-founded with Splash), dedicating his first few months around the inner Spawn area to improve highway infrastructure, as well as joining several small groups over the years, continuing his highway work. He was banned in 2021 over false doxing allegations sparking mass protests and demonstrations against staff brutality.

## History

After joining on August 21, 2019, he found three other newfags at spawn and traveled with them to a base 100k out, where the four of them had a good time and just played the game together. One of them invited someone untrustworthy and it was looted and abandoned. He began the first Overworld highway on Purity after joining (+Z), which he did lots of work on. After basing at 170k with a friend for a couple weeks, he found somebody working on his highways, who he found out to be Splash. The two began the Overworld Highway Corporation (OHC) on October 1st, which gained a handful of diggers and gained relative popularity. Melofors and Splash built outposts along +Z, where Melofors spent much of his time, and where many new players passed by. His frequent work near Spawn would result in him being killed several times. Warvan found Melofors and befriended him after learning of his work, and set up an official partnership between the OHC and the Varden after he spoke with EDAMI. Melofors was also accepted into the Varden recruit base Bel'atona, where many of his favorite memories from Purity were at, with the other recruits. He was notably a massive poorfag.

Melofors quit in December 2019 before returning in September 2020, at which point he was living in a solo base. 123miningmaster asked him to base, which he accepted, and several others were invited. It lasted a month, as one of the members, CumRifle, was the alt of YeahItsRico, who looted the valuables brought by FrontierJustice. Melofors brought CumRifle to his next base, GFF, which was inevitably griefed by Rico alongside alaff. After alaff VC'd with Melofors, he begged Melofors to join his group (Pacifica), which he did, and it was griefed in a week. bhon and solar invited him to their group, Vanguard, but made the terrible decision to invite alaff as well, who argued a lot and leaked the base coords. In retrospect, his toxic relationship with alaff is what changed Melofors into a toxic faggot from the quiet peaceful player he used to be.

In December, he began a duo base with 123miningmaster and finally settled on the server. The two built a lot at their base. Melofors made some PvP kits and brewed potions for PvP. He crystaled Moosh at spawn and had a crystal 1v1 with warren, who logged after around ten minutes of fighting. He also continued his tradition of repairing and expanding the Overworld highways, which he had always done when visiting spawn. A handful of players had joined the OHC, which was slowly reviving, and things were looking up.

However, his prosperity came to an end in December 2020, when he was banned for saying alaff's name when talking to him in a VC with two others. alaff doxxed Melofors to several people as a celebratory gesture to the ban, resulting in his own ban. After the staff realized Melofors' dox on alaff was unintentional, he was was unbanned in June 2021. He was falsely re-banned one month later however for reportedly admitting that it was intentional when saying "I doxed and got away with it" in public chat. The events surrounding the ban sparked mass civil unrest and riots with bounties placed on several staff members allegedly involved in the incident.
