Due to its proximity to first [[Rift|Rift]] and then [[Atlantis|Atlantis]], Lazuli was initially an important center of trade in the (+,-) quadrant and remained that way for many cycles. However, as the development on the server shifted towards the (-,-) and (-,+) quadrants, its location became more of a hindrance than a benefit.
Following the attacks by several raiding groups, Lazuli underwent a substantial change in government and policy focus, bringing Lazuli into its golden age. Under the new government (headed by long-time resident [[Ttocs_is_Awe]]), vast infrastructure projects were completed, providing citizens with a multitude of benefits. One of Security Councillor [[Nate_Magic]]'s most notable achievements was the
As councillor responsible for land use and allocation, [[Logic_Man]] is credited with building Lazuli's international-class Senate while reigning in Lazuli Central's previously out-of-control urban sprawl and unequal development. The latter was carried out by pre-planning real-estate options in somewhat restrictive subdivisions. These subdivisions successfully solved the crises they were designed to fix, however they later caused issues of
The most popular development in the city quickly became the impressive Lapis Arena which hosted several international tournaments during the golden age of Lazuli.

=== The Downfall of Lazuli ===
At the peak of Lazuli's golden age, the satellite regions comprising the Republic had by and large been abandoned or fallen into disrepair as citizens flocked to the
Within the same week that Columbia's government disintegrated, both of the server's most populous cities collapsed, casting doubts by many on the wisdom of settling in a city at all. But while the [[City of Columbia|City of Columbia]] had frequently been the center of drama and scandal, Lazuli had always maintained a stable and peaceful existence and its sudden abandonment came as a surprise to many.
Line 50:
Plagued by a host of issues - and a thinly stretched council - Lazuli showed several warning signs before its ultimate demise. The first of these was the restrictions placed on travellers meaning to trade with the city. Lazuli's dead-locked portal meant that players (both domestic and foreign) were consistently trapped inside the portal room, with no means of escape save for returning to the nether. This irritated both those trying to access the city and those who had the permissions to open the gates as these players were continuously running back and forth to let travellers in or out.
The second warning sign was a combination of a scarcity of land available (due to the physical limitations of the wall, the time-consuming development of subdivisions to meet demand and the monopoly that the municipal government had on selling land) and an increasingly vocal 'homeowners association' attitude towards newer residents from older residents - particularly where
The collapse of Columbia is seen as the catalyst for change on the server, and indeed the catalyst for migration out of Lazuli. Cities were not the safe haven's they once were and
