Timeline
Started	May 18, 2012

Argoth is a major city on PvE revision 8. Located next to the north-east nether portal for easy access, Argoth is on the corner of four biomes: the vast snowy wastelands to the north, a deciduous forest to the east, a jungle to the southeast, and the map's central ocean to the south.

Argoth has always been a welcoming, inclusive community. Building standards aren't super-strict; just don't make ugly cobblestone/wood huts. New residents are given a full stack of smooth stone, plus access to the community chests and farms for other useful building materials. Several revisions ago this ethos — plus the fact that Argoth's colors are red-white-red — earned the city the "communist" label, which stuck.

If you'd like to join the city of benevolent communists, contact a mayor in-game or post on the subreddit, /r/newargoth.

Districts and neighbors

Some of these are districts of Argoth itself, others are independent regions. Regardless, all are linked by road and rail.

Central Argoth is the heart of the city, located in a flat valley

North:

The massive Nether Courtyard, designed by castelnau. The central rail terminal, a wool farm, and the PvE Lotto station can be found here.
The Spleef Arena, designed by Sapphric
The independent town of Kalmos (formerly known as North-Argoth)

North-east:

Grimlyn's mega-build, Firefly
Keozen's giant melon complex
CENSORED, designed by afacini

East:

The East Argoth district, jokingly referred to as the Built-by-Skydaddy district because of the crazy amount of quality buildings he's created there. East Argoth is a mix of towers and more low-key residential plots.

North-west:

An unnamed NPC village, depopulated due to server derp
The PvP Arena, currently under construction

West:

The Valley of the Dead. Gotta stash those bodies somewhere.
A Minecraft version of the real-life Russian monument, The Motherland Calls, built by bencvt

South:

The Canal District, an homage to last rev's Argoth Hold
Argoth State University
Arrrgoth (nautical nonsense)

Tucked behind the inter-regional rail station in the Nether Courtyard complex is a cozy bar. Don't mess with the bartender, he'll pound your head.
