It featured a full world map, modern guns similar to those in 11.0, and saw the return of factions after over ten iterations of towny. ===== Overview ===== Despite following the successful [[16.0]], 17.0 only managed to pull 50~ players on launch and maintained a low population throughout its 3 week lifespan. It saw the rise of [[Ncordo]], who created the only nation of any significance. most other factions were small, and often geographically isolated, resulting in few meaningful conflicts. It went out with a whimper several weeks into it's lifespan, with only [[Falklands]] and Luna there to see the end. [{{:japan.png?200|Shikoku}}] [{{:switzerland.png?200|Switzerland}}] [{{:texas.png?200|The Alamo in Texas}}] ===== Significant events ===== Ncordo, building off of his success in Neo-Tokyo at the end of 16.0, founded Japan in Shikoku. A combination of his endless stream-of-consciousness shitposting and charisma, the beauty of Shikoku, and constant memeraids, and use of classic ghoul doctrine tactics made Japan by far the most important nation. Ncordo would ride this wave of success for several iterations onward. [{{:shikoku.png?250 |Wide shot of Shikoku}}] [{{:17_japan_renantns.png?250 |The remnants of Shikoku, post-admin abuse}}] [{{:17_france_post_war.png?250 |Grenoble after being forcefully converted}}] The Norse were admins of the server, and engaged in heinous admin abuse all throughout the server's lifespan. This includes breaking pvp grace against Texas, griefing Croatia, and literally worldediting Japan out of existence. France, led by Qral, was successfully invaded by a small coalition led by Ncordo due to France's refusal to convert to Japan's religion. Qral didn't really care, and left the burden of leadership to [[TerriBird]], ensuring the nation's collapse. [[Falklands]], bordering the French capitol of Grenoble, aided the Japanese effort, furthering the [[Falklands-Terri bloodfeud]]. This was probably the server's biggest interstate conflict.
