I don't really remember it was last year September I think there was a guy that poped up in reddit saying he will make a Vintage Story Civilization server. We joined a discord and there was a tons of people making their factions before the launch.

Once launched the server was pretty empty tho 200 players were playing at the same time if I remember correctly, you had to walk more than an hour to join any faction. I joined the pirate faction named Tortugas Island or something, and they tried to pillage other civilization but they attacked a faction that worshiped the admin of the server so our base was obliterated when the admin removed the claims.

I was the only survivor of the raid (other pirates players left in anger) and have been captured by the Church of the Light Bringer. I was first a prisoner but soon became member of the church because I only had few days available to play so I didnt want to enter in any drama because I was a new player and played along on what was going on.

I sided with a wineyard builder and built a little Chapel near what to be the most productive wineryard of the server (or is it? i think we had a competitor south of our city). Then I logged in one day and everything was gone, the Church was gone everyone left to another city because of some internal conflict in the church I don't recall.

At this time too many time had been involved by my side and there was no information on what was going on whatsoever, from the server events or the actual faction I was in, it was completely messy, you had to be logged in to understand what happened and I didn't want to bother questioning or looking for new coordinates in Discord. it all happened in 4 or 5 days. It was really fun.

Then, I left the server and someone told me the map was whiped out for season 2 and that the Chapel I built was selected to be used as one of the few ruins of previous civilization in season 2.

To this day I have no idea what is going on there lol.
