Conwy (Classic)

Ben Nevis City is a town founded in mid September by DragonTrainer9. It is based on the shores of Loch Ness, and has its communal area inside the mountain of Ben Nevis. Ben Nevis City ha been Home to meeting, nation creating and even battles.

DragonTrainer9 joined earthMC in mid September of 2017, immediately deciding to build his dream town in England. After many hours of travelling and getting lost (at one point he ended up in Canada), he decided to try asking for anyone in the UK to tp to. At that point, he discovered, like many others, that tp killers exist on EarthMC. Eventually he ended up in Scotland, and couldn’t be bothered walking any further south, so walked around and discovered a shallow lake and mountain. In the lake was a ruined farm house and mine. Using the farm and mine, he managed to survive until he had enough to start his dream town. He couldn’t think of a name at first, Loch Ness Monster Town didn’t work, neither did Loch Town. Dragon went to google maps and descovered the mountain he was using as a base was most likely Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the UK.

After just two weeks, Ben Nevis was tied with Edinburgh and York for the largest population. Ben Nevis was already expanding across the lake and over the mountain of Ben Nevis before things started to go wrong. In early October, the town of Highlandia was founded across the lake from Ben Nevis City. Dragon was furious, the land he has imagined as plots was stolen, and soon most of the West Bank was claimed by Highlandia. To make matters worse, another town had been built behind Highlandia, called Elgin.

October also saw the arrival of a player called Escalate, who came to Ben Nevis City and asked if they would like to join the nation of Golden Circle. The four players online (DragonTrainer9, Rafstar1, ActionKurt And pingpng) voted on joining and Ben Nevis City joined Golden Circle.
