History

Early Berlin 

Early Berlin was founded on May 1st 2022 on the first day of Aurora. All of the early nation members of France and Germany started and gathered resources here. The majority of Gold was provided by Fruitloopins who constantly grinded for gold. Once the nation of Germany was completed (and France and the town Paris). There was a rush to claim as much chunks as possible. Fruitloopins and Basically_Andrew with help from Masrain quickly got gold and claimed to max claims (with Fritzstick recruiting). Berlin was the first max claimed town on Terra Aurora.

Masrain's house and the Reichstag (including plaza) were built in this time. There were other builds made by random Residents given plots, but only one of them survives today ().

Basically_Andrew told Warriorrr to commit suicide "as a joke" and once his chances of being mod were ruined, he left the server for good.

Rapid Construction

After items, kits and the like were collected, Masrain began a campaign to build Berlin to be "a proper European city" with plans to cover every section of the relatively flat portions of Berlin. Masrain in this time also constructed the majority of the ice roads in Germany, with connections to Austria, Norway, France and Poland. It was around this time that Fruitloopins gave leadership over the town and Germany to Masrain. Fruitloopins then gained the city of Prague, which was rolled back to be a nature sanctuary in Europe (there was controversy over the town's ownership due to Kiddeyy scamming it off of the Austrians). Masrain became Helper then eventually Mod in this time.
