Here you will find the history of Persian-World, from the build up to the servers creation to the many different stages the server has went through on it's journey to it's current state as a major server.
Pre-Colonial Era
Before Persia, many of the admins had already met. This era is in mid 2011.
The Map
Before the servers creation, Persia was only a single player map created by our leader ThePersian, originally established as a survival map with hardly any clues as to how spectacular it would become. This simple map would later become the template on which Persia's first map was based.
On this map, there were 2 major locations. Persian State and Persian Village. Persian Village was nothing more than a rudimentary mall with a cart station, Persian State however featured some buildings that are still with us today such as the Persian state hotel and the Bank of Persia building in Downtown New Shadow Point. Also featured in Persian State was the maps first airport and hospital, now long demolished.
Other noteable locations were Johnson Crossing and Albenya, which would later become Abadan West.
The Fall Of Shadowpoint
Whilst creating the map, ThePersian often frequented a server named CJXGaming, now long defunct. This server was where some of the admins that currently run the server first met in 2011 before colonizing the single player map that later evolved into what we have today.
At the prime of it's life, CJX featured a relitivly basic naturaly generated map that featured numberous towns and cities. The main city Shadowpoint, Newshadowpoints namesake, was the first home of the then new to minecraft, Blibbob, MajorPa1n and Persian. The city wasn't much bigger than littlefrancily is on the map, however at the time was the servers most developed city. The one other major city was Elysium city, which was connected via a rail link. Both settlements featured large walls around them, respectivly. Other minor settlements were Cloud harbour, Gazguy's town, Stone Bridge and Fight Island.
When the time came for the Wolves update in beta, the server updated prematurely, many pluggins used that were vital for the servers protection and saftey were lost, resulting in one of the biggest disasters in persia's history, The Fall of Shadowpoint. After but one hour, the city of shadowpoint burned in hatred and fire, the cart rail system between Elysium and Shadowpoint had lead the griefer swarms to elysium and resulted in that city falling aswell. Many of the inhabitants of both cities fled to Stonebridge to keep safe. After a day, the survivors returned to inspect the damage, whilst traveling along the cart rail line between elysium and shadowpoint, they noticed it was burning and had to escape the blaze. After leaving their carts and walking the rest of the way, the expedition to newshadowpoint found the city in ruins, with nothing left but the church and burning ashes of a once thriving city
The Creeper Wars
When the servers host, rolled, returned to find the world in ashes, he reset the map. This was the beginning of the end for CJX. Upon the reset, the members of CJX expected to get flans mod installed to the server, so they created an airfield which became the servers new main town. This was ThePersian and blibbob's first project together as persian was working on the air fields hangers and had to draft in help. After some time, two main factions appeared, The Pirates and The Grey rangers. The pirates mostly focused on maritime power while the rangers mostly focused on preperation to have air superiority when the server was going to get flans mod. Within a week, the two sides became enemies, resulting in the Creeper Wars.
The Grey rangers ranks consisted of General Mijhead, Captain Blibbob and Lt MajorPa1n while the only noteworthy member of the pirates was Oh_Snapples, who had previously been the mayor of shadowpoint.
The Creeper wars mostly consisted of military installations being constructed, the pirates making lighthouses and the rangers making airfield. Not much happened at first, however upon members of the pirates attacking the rangers, the rangers set up outposts nearby The Pirates installations which contained TNT cannons. After some time, the two sides raided each other, both destroying each others outposts and skirmishing in the civilian air field.
After some time, one of the pirates hatched a plan to destroy the rangers once and for all, to destroy the largest air field on server. Sadly his plan resulted in the map being reset again as it was in fact the air field Persian and blibbob had constructed for the servers members.
Upon the aftermath of the reset, many of the community fled to underground vaults to escape from the conflict on the surface.
The Rise of Persia
After a string of updates and a rename, CJX was burning out. Rolled set out to create yet another new map, this time with larger, better cities than before, one of them was NewShadowPoint, however, his plan was fated to fail as he took the server down before his ambitions could be met. Upon the fall of CJX, two servers rised from the ashes as temporary replacements, Assasineblades server and Persia. Persia was first ran by ThePersian and Drat, though dispite it's later successes was the less popular of the two. Assasineblades server featured a few small settlements including creeper canyon, a frontier town.
Upon the return of Rolled, Persian, Drat and assasine were accused of advertising their servers on CJX's forum and of betraying CJX. Rolled demanded for both servers to be taken down, or their respective owners would be permabanned. Assasineblade quickly gave into the request and returned to CJX whilst Persian, Drat, Blibbob and MajorPa1n refused to accept what Rolled had accused them off and continued persia as an independant server from CJX, no longer a temporary stop gap using a Single player map, but a truely Indpendant multiplayer server.
