History

2022

On December 22nd, 2022,  _Revok_, started the town of Atacama, due to his ties with many active players from different servers, the town grew rapidly. Many long-time players of RetroMC joined Atacama during this time, and many large scale projects were started. These included a large terraforming project, started by  firewarrior99 /  CruxyMC, and a large bridge started by  aq2a.

2023

Sometime during the first few months of 2023,  _Revok_ took a hiatus from RetroMC and gave control of the town over to  CruxyMC.  CruxyMC would continue to work on his landscaping projects and continue development on the town.Atacama became the Commonwealth of Atacama by May of 2023, and a district system was created. The districts of Atacama, Trentin, and Brooklyn, were created. During this time,  aq2a began contruction of the Atacama Bridge. It quickly became the largest projects in the town.
As the year went on, many players began working on other projects, but  CruxyMC and  aq2a continued to work on the town.  CruxyMC continued to work on landscaping, roads, and new districts, while  aq2a began construction on the Atacama Lodge, and Winter Palace. Although the town had basically died, activity was still being fueled by these two players.

2024

By the beginning of 2024, Atacama had not seen any activity aside from  CruxyMC who continued to work on creating new land for a future revival. He had been staffing on the server since early 2023, and had little time to work on personal projects.  aq2a had become distracted with the construction of the UIP Warehouse and had not worked on any projects in Atacama in some time. During August of 2024,  aq2a was given the title of "Chief" under the condition he agreed to the pact that  CruxyMC had made with  _Revok_. Rumors of plans for a revival near the end of 2024 have been circulating, and it's likely that the town will begin inviting people to repopulate soon.

Notable Builds

Atacaman Mountains

Many of the mountains that surround Atacama are in fact, artificial. Built by  CruxyMC, they provide protection and separate the different districts of the town. These mountains contribute to much of what gives Atacama it's homely feel.

Atacama Bridge

This Bridge is one of the longest running structures on the server. Started by  aq2a, it connects Atacama with it's closest neighboring town, New Edago, and even stretches all the way to the UIP. Although it is unfinished as of now, it continues to be worked on from time to time.

Atacama Lodge

The largest home in the town, the Atacama Lodge serves as a public place to hold town events. Built by  aq2a, it was originally a personal home, but since has become a public space for players.

Mario Castle

This series of structures was built by  ScrubSandwich. He intended to re-create a portion of the old Mario games outside of town. This is why many pipes may be seen around the town.

Pixel Art

Atacama is surrounded by many different pixel arts. They are built by various players, and many of them are as old as the town itself.

Statues of the Chiefs

It is tradition that each Chief of Atacama is to be memorialized in a statue form. As of now, there are 2 statues memorializing previous Chiefs:  _Revok_ and  CruxyMC.  aq2a has not had a statue built as of yet, as he is still active.

Western Atacaman Air Temple

Built by  aq2a, this structure sits on top of one of the many mountains in the town. It is a temple intended for players to come and meditate and gain inspiration for builds. There is a replica of this structure in Little Atacama in Spawn Town.

Winter Palace

The largest build in the town, this structure sits in a snowy biome just outside the Atacaman mountain range. Started by  aq2a, the palace is intended to serve as a home for the current sitting Atacaman Chief. As of now it remains unfinished as the structure is extraordinarily expensive and time consume to build.  aq2a intends to finish the project within the next 2 years.

Zeppelin

A large blimp built by  Jabanan.
