I want to know the history of survival.

History of ArchMC Survival

Origins (Mid-2022)

The Survival gamemode launched alongside the original ArchMC server.

Aimed to offer a classic survival experience with light enhancements—land claims, economy, and quality-of-life commands (e.g., /home, /tpa).

It quickly became the core attraction of ArchMC, particularly within the growing Eaglercraft community.

Rise in Popularity (Late 2022 – Early 2023)

The player base grew rapidly, with Survival often being the most populated gamemode.

Regular updates introduced:

Player shops and trading systems.

Custom terrain generation.

Events such as PvP tournaments and seasonal builds.

A strong Discord community formed around Survival, with many players forming towns, alliances, and rivalries.

⚠ Major Setback: Server Failure (Late 2023)

A data center outage caused severe corruption of Survival world files.

Players lost builds, inventories, and regions.

The ArchMC team made the difficult decision to shut down Survival temporarily, promising a rebuild from scratch.

Revamp & Relaunch (December 2023)

With new Ryzen-based servers and better infrastructure, Survival was rebuilt with:

A fresh world.

Improved anti-grief and rollback tools.

Tweaks to economy and PvE balancing.

The return of Survival was highly anticipated, drawing hundreds of players back on launch day.

Continued Development (2024–2025)

The gamemode has seen ongoing refinements:

Seasonal resets to keep gameplay fresh.

Player-run towns and factions have returned in force.

Staff began integrating community suggestions into regular updates.

Some persistent technical issues still crop up, such as:

Connection timeouts during restarts.

Occasional plugin bugs affecting land claims or inventories.

Present Day (2025)

ArchMC Survival remains a flagship gamemode, especially popular among players looking for a community-driven, semi-vanilla experience.

It regularly sees hundreds of concurrent players, rivaling or exceeding the popularity of newer modes like Lifesteal.

Despite ups and downs, the Survival community has proven to be the most resilient and dedicated on the server.

Don’t forget about that land glitch that lasted for about 2 months

claim bugs have been around forever, they spiked in probably May/June 2024 but are still occuring today
