General information
Established:December 26th, 2019
Status:Inactive

Wendover is a large town located in and around several big chunk errors. It was founded in late December 2019 by 16.png JulekJulas. The town was home to almost 80 players until JVillage was introduced and decreased the town to around 10-15 players. The town now currently has 23 members.

History

On 26 December 2019. A player named 16.png JulekJulas founded a town called Wendover. The town was located on an island in the middle of a lake surrounded in all directions by chunk errors. The town wouldn't gain much traction untill a couple of days later.

Growth

2 days later, a server frequent at the time, 16.png alephcake (who was called cakedon at the time), would join Wendover. He would build a house and start making basic infrastructural work around the town. He would also alongside Julek advertise the town, resulting in a lot of new players joining. In early January 2020, the town had around 25 members, and was the most active town on the server at the time, frequenting around 3-5 players active at any given time. The town has grew out of the main island and expanded onto the walls and hills of the surrounding chunk errors. === Inactivity === Since late 2020, the town is very inactive, with occasional appearances of the founders, 16.png JulekJulas and 16.png alephcake (who is usually more active).

Wendover Storage Unit

Wendover Ice Lake
