Helios, the winner of the build contest on the server.

Devoted Hell was the most recent iteration in the Devoted franchise of Civ servers, run by ProgrammerDan and Convoy. The server was unique in that the Nether was the only playable dimension, forcing players to innovate in order to survive and thrive and build cities in the new environment changed by the Nether update. On launch, the server had four shards arranged in sequence, varying in difficulty and plugin makeup. Another new feature was the inclusion of the Jobs plugin, tying progression through the server’s tech tree to several MMO-like skills.

The server launched in January 2021; the server was planning to use a subscription model for users to play in order to fund the server’s expenses, though a rough launch left the server with rampant TPS issues due to faulty hardware. Before players joined the server, the server also attempted a tutorial system in its lobby. Among the most notable nations were Inferno and Helios, the latter winning a building contest on the server due to its massive scope. As the novelty wore off and the server’s issues became rampant, the server died after a couple of months, with Devoted teasing a fourth iteration shortly after. (Full article...)
