Server History

This page can represent a general timeline of Wasteslam's many iterations. This is more meta-history than actual. For current lore on the map it is recommended to explore. Some of these dates/names are guessed and perhaps misplaced, but should give people *cough Zuper* a general outline of the server's versions.

- Early 2013- Mid 2014

Wasteslam's Original Map/version (Modified WTFBlake's North America):

Cities were based on their real locations vaguely with looting and crackshot based guns being a key staple. There were no land protections and people organized themselves into Xteams.

Notable Players Included:

L33roy J3nkins, Beckumz, dannyjames2011, Lyokko, jabesb2, Cyande7, TheMiniBossMan, Tingalz, TenSpaces, AirSupport11, Katecole, CANADAEH8, cptsicknastyl, JCDENTON, 1KILLERJAKE, SAC_PowerPAOK, Sentinel_72

- Mid 2014-Late 2014(?)

Due to wanting to try a new map/formula and Katecole accidentally tearing a massive lag hole through Arizona the server reset to be a more generic Wasteland map that wasn't based on real geography. This server was much less popular and died quickly.

-2015(?)

jabesb2 tried to remake the older server with the same premise. This was met with limited success and loss of interest.

-2015(?)

jabesb2 tries another different formula to remake the server, setting the map within a post-apocalyptic version of the planet Earth. This server made use of Towny with no real dungeons or looting locations. This server had some initial success but ultimately tapered off due to another bout of lost interest.

-Summer 2017 - Fall 2017

Wasteslam is again remade. The map is once again a post-apocalyptic version of the planet Earth, however with a different premise. Similar to the original server there was no Towny protection and several cities existed around the globe to loot and exploit. Guns returned once again along with loot tables. Eventually the server returned to inactivity and non caring mostly due to the core Wasteslam admin group losing interest and jabesb2 struggling to find places to advertise successfully.

-February 2019 - February 2020

Returning very closely to its original formula Wasteslam is resurrected once again. The map is set in mostly North America with looting, dungeons, and real life admin made cities being featured. This server saw success due to a new generation of admins and player being available. Additionally, jabesb2 found solutions for finding a relatively steady supply of new players.

Notable Player Included:

CheesecakeMasta, _Zuper, Redtwo742, Jedimastermnl, Hueben, Big_Len, Sirtees, WiseOstrich, GreatShawn, Buffthepuff, and TheSilverShard

Notable Gangs Included:

Cactus(admin gang), St. Luke's Holy Disciples, CobbleKillers, and PLAS(inactive near the end of the server's lifespan)

This server was eventually retired after a bit of inactivity due to admins focusing on school and slowly losing interest in the server's current premise.

-Febuary 2020 - Present

This server's previous setting was moved forwards several centuries. The map was made in worldpainter completely from scratch by jabesb2, being a very skewed (magically/naturally altered) version of North America. Additionally, the map for the first time was green and relatively full of life. The setting is a bit more fantasy esque than before, but still holds to its post-apocalyptic roots. This server seeks to combine the intrigue of Towny politics with the fun of looting ruins. The guns for the first time are textured fully and the server's population seems to be growing quite steadily. Several nations are popping up and civilization is slowly returning to North America.
