The server opened at 9pm HKT on April 8, 2022. It was replaced by the 852R SMP V2 on April 27th 2023.

History

Before Opening

Due to Syntax facing issues in real life, he was unable to host a second Minecraft server. Eventually, the prospect of hosting a second SMP was put on hold indefinitely.

Around late March of 2022, Sleepy would suggest to Card0 the idea of a new SMP hosted on Aternos. Card0 agreed, announcing it on April 5, 2022. During this time, construction on the spawn area went ahead by Card0.

Opening

On the night of April 8, 2022, the SMP was officially launched to the public. Originally having a maximum player capacity of 15, the server was given attention beyond the expectations of Card0 and Sleepy, forcing some players to wait for their turn to join the server.

During this period, the spawn was vandalized due to the lack of protection.

Quickly, members began forming groups and factions, the most prominent of which was the second iteration of Yuutopia, founded by Wouldntglidingbefaster. Bossuuu and Salami would also be appointed as president. Card0 would also join albeit as a minimum wage intern.

Other groups, such as wolf tamers and oily ame founded by new members such as 鈴木愛理 and Mythguy1314 would also come into fruition during this time.

Myth Incident

On April 15, 2022, Mythguy1314 was on a rant about suspected admin abuse from Card0, who failed to try and calm him down. Mythguy also repeatedly made threats and griefed the server. This resulted in Mythguy being indefinitely banned from the server and temporary banned from the 852R Discord Server for 2 weeks. Eventually, Mythguy would be able to return to 852r, making his own SMP of which very little is known about or remembered, he would also be unbanned from the SMP.

On the positive side, around this time, the server library and archives at Spawn was built, suggested by Purrcat2010.

Embassy Crisis

Tensions between the major nations of the SMP flared until it resulted in a war. the Mutualistic Republic of New Estonia got griefed because Card0 burnt down the embassy in Yuutopia that belongs to the The Dojo and Zeon. Lieutenant Quattro being enraged he entered Mutualistic Republic of New Estonia and when he left there was a crater left behind, which caused Purrcat2010 to move away indefinitely (still remaining in New Estonia) and work on the United Infrastructure Guild HQ. The crater was restored by Zoe, who used the ruins of Purrcat's house as their construction base, and the new buildings were better than the previous ones. Some questioned the legitimacy of the Embassy Crisis as a war, claiming that New Estonia did not consent to the war, which according to the SMP rules, all parties in the war must consent in order for it to be legitimate.

The Dragon Fight

On April 22nd 2022, the first Ender Dragon Fight was held on the SMP. It was also the SMP's first actual event, besides the opening of the SMP itself. Around 8 people would take part with the fight lasting for around 10 minutes. Ballsy was the one who had slain the Ender Dragon and retrieved its egg.

Following this, multiple members began exploring the End. A 48 hour grace period was put in place to prevent people from respwaning the Ender Dragon too quickly.

After the dragon fight, the server became inactive, with few people playing on it save for a spleef competition that occurred shortly after the era began. Said competition attracted numbers not seen since the start of the server.

Free Settlements

Around the same time as the spleef competition, Purrcat2010 invented free settlements, which are (at least in theory) initially not part of any faction, but can choose to join or even become their own faction. He worked on the first one, Warpwood for a long time, even writing an in-game guidebook detailing how potential residents could get the most out of it. Card0 recognized the new idea on the same day Warpwood was completed. However, it did not cause people to come onto the server in droves as Purrcat originally projected, as Warpwood still remains unpopulated save for some villagers.

The End of the SMP

Differences from the 1st Iteration
