Rev 11

Rose City was founded midway through Rev 11 as a small community on the Eastern shore of Vinhaven Island. (more details on founding)

Vinhaven's Pretty little sister - Rose City long sat in the shadow of Vinhaven. The portal hosting medieval community evolved into a fortress in the middle of the large Southeastern island while Rose City clung to the Eastern shore. While relations were favorable between the two communities, little effort was put into linking Rose to the outside world. Rose's only road, one that bore through a mountain range, connected inside a Vinhaven citadel.

The great landfill - With little land to develop on shore, a decision was made to expand Rose's residential district into the sea. With the help of Tellico residents, Rose Road was created and extended east, where it connected to a massive bridge built by TBone and Waterslide. From there residential plots were slowly added as needed.

Rose City Highway - Long isolated with their lack of rail and road connections, leadership debated the best way to open Rose City up to the rest of the world. Built by theclefe, the road meandered along existing infrastructure and newly paved roads. Through partnerships with Port 80, Vinhaven and Endor, the Rose City Highway, the highway no only connected Rose City to Spawn, but opened the entire ocean-heavy South East Corner of the map to development. As Rose City grew, the use of the Rose City Highway became vital. New players would travel along the well marked highway to lay their claim to plots in the city.

The End Rev Hype and the Viridium collapse - As rumors swirled across the server that the Rev would end prematurely, players and towns began preparing for a new rev that wouldn't come for many months. In an effort to improve numbers and consolidate effort, a merger with Viridium was discussed. Another Southeastern city hoping to gain prominence, the informal union was called Viridium Rose. A quickly as merger plans came together, they fell apart due to inactivity from Viridium leadership. Abandoned and alone on a dying server, Rose City was close to collapse.

The Rose Era - Refusing to let future plans die, the remaining Rose City members rallied. Led by SourPickleEater, massive landfill projects commenced, rail lines to Seneca, Manta Islands, Birch Island, Pico and Metal Mountains expanded Rose's transportation network and mayors focused on recruiting. As activity on the PvE server declined, Rose's population tripled as aggressive mayors and attentive residents made Rose City one of the most influential cities in the region. With the increased population and exposure, Rose began the infrastructure needed to support world demand. They became the world's most reliable horse provider and hosted the largest villager trading depot among other large projects.
