''' | === '''Construction of Elite Travel's First Ice Highway''' === | ||
On 13 January 2020, an unknown player ordered an ice highway stretching from Superior, [[Ontario]] to Astoria, [[Cascadia (Nova)|Cascadia]]. In the ticket, [[BetaPlain]] calculated the distance between the two points to be approximately 6,800 blocks. [[BetaPlain]] gave the unknown player a quote of 90 gold for the ice highway, at a cost of 64 blocks per gold. The player also ordered an aboveground station, which was an available add-on when an ice highway was ordered. | |||
[[BetaPlain]] probably began construction of the order on 25 January. The unknown player directed [[BetaPlain]] to their selected site, and construction on an aboveground station began. Once the aboveground station, the elevator, and the underground station were finished, ice highway digging began. [[BetaPlain]] made the decision to begin adding the concrete blocks, lighting, and blue ice blocks to showcase the luxuriousness of the Elite Travel ice highway design. | |||
Digging continued until the tunnel reached the town of Nuova Roma, which prevented further ice highway digging. To combat this problem, [[BetaPlain]] contacted player De_Conqueror, mayor of Nuova Roma, and coordinated ice highway construction. De_Conqueror personally dug out the portion of the ice highway that stretched through their town. | |||
Construction of the ice highway halted around 14 February 2020. Shortly after construction had halted, Ontario fell and the ice highway began getting griefed. | |||

After intense criticism and low sales resulting from Elite Travel's subscription system, [[BetaPlain]] officially removed the subscription system on 5 February. [[BetaPlain]] took advantage of the situation by advertising the removal of the subscription system, which did not seriously affect Elite Travel's discord server membership count. | After intense criticism and low sales resulting from Elite Travel's subscription system, [[BetaPlain]] officially removed the subscription system on 5 February.
