A large amount of controversy and internal feuding occurred in the first couple weeks of March 2022. The main subjects of these feuds was the town of [[Bastion (Town)|Bastion]], and the town of [[Chan Town|Green Spice]] (or Chan Town).
[[File:Chantown.png|thumb|Green Spice as of March 21. Notice the tower in the middle of the picture being moderately destroyed and a number of random blocks and holes being present around the screenshot. ]]
It started when Bastion resident Xorberax was lured into a room by another player from Chan Town and was trapped there for an undisclosed amount of time. Xorberax hit the door, trying to leave where he was stuck <ref>[[File:Okay.
</ref>. What Xorberax did apparently made the Channer upset enough to shackle <ref>[[File:Faust.png|thumb|ComfyFaust in the Vciv Discord server explaining why he shackled Xorberax]]
</ref> Xorberax for what he did, sparking a much larger series of events. After the mechanics of shacklegear were updated in the server, Xorberax was then released from the shackle due to the Channers not being familiar with the mechanics of refueling a shacklegear after the update <ref>Sikandar (Multipolar) (March 11 2022) [https://discord.com/channels/927062370352762941/931291079939096596/951757836281610271 Just saying, we only wanted Xorberax who never should have been released, possibly released through an update]</ref>.
After his unintended release, he decided to threaten the town of Green Spice claiming he's going to level the entire town, or threats of a similar nature. <ref>Ｍ Ｕ Ｌ Ｔ Ｉ Ｐ Ｏ Ｌ Ａ Ｒ(March 13, 2022) "[https://discord.com/channels/927062370352762941/928765698543616050/952790713416945675 We had Xorborax pearled originally (assumed he got out as shacklegear was just updated) but Southern clarified that we didn't refuel his shackle right, because the mechanic is different from civcraft so he got out. He was our bargaining chip and we lost it, we were working on a treaty with Bastion as Xorberax threatened to level our town. Having lost it, Bastion stopped talking to us. Faust initiated the talks, Greenkitten our ambassador reached out to Jaysus but they never got back to us, because why should they they got their guy free.]"</ref> After the usual bickering back and forth between Chan Town, Bastion, and Xorberax, he decided to go and bomb Chan Town himself. This was in retaliation against what they did to him before and due to other more personal reasons Xorberax has against what Chan Town is known for. The bombing resulted in a huge amount of gear and loot lost. Once most of the Chan Town members logged a while after the raid, they set off to find Xorberax in his home city of Bastion.
The members from the city of Bastion took notice of the impending attack and aided Xorberax against the attackers and got the Channers that came shackled. <ref>Ｍ Ｕ Ｌ Ｔ Ｉ Ｐ Ｏ Ｌ Ａ Ｒ(March 13 2022) [https://discord.com/channels/927062370352762941/928765698543616050/952791510242435102 "After bantering in the discord we logged on and saw that our entire town was destroyed and vault broken, and shit stolen. So we saw the guy who did it was still online and were quite pissed. Four of our guys geared up and went to Bastion to shackle him, but 3 other Bastion guys ran out and helped him and he shackled all of us.]"</ref> Immediately after Bastion understood what had happened, Xorberax was banished from Bastion to fend for himself
</ref>. Green Spice was outraged that no further punishment was taken toward Xorberax, however, Bastion members were overwhelmed and tired and had had enough of all of it. A discord user by the name of MULTIPOLAR said he later secured the release to those shackled members of Green Spice and retrieved some of the stolen goods from Green Spice. Much back-and-forth ensued between Green Spice and Bastion over what to do with Xorberax.
After being threatened to be doxxed and in hopes of the blame being put on Green Spice, on March 12 Xorberax was basically forced to detonate ore bombs around the city of Bastion causing much damage to structures, some more than others.<ref>KingOfTheMochas (March 13 2022) [https://discord.com/channels/927062370352762941/928765698543616050/952780268605964349 "Uhhhh I think Xorb said he got trapped in a room by Faust after he asked him to come to chantown for some reason and then Xorb tried to break down the door to escape and Faust shackled him and then he went (Apeshit) and threatened to blow Chantown to smithereens and then he got freed for some reason (channers said there was some kinda deal with jay but it sounds like jay denies that) and then he ended up ''actually'' blowing it to smithereens and then channers got reasonably mad but to an unreasonable amount and doxxed (?) him and then he agreed (?) to nuke Bastion if they stopped doxxing him and so he did and now we’re all pissed at him and also each other]"</ref><ref>[[File:Jaysuspic.png|thumb|Xorberax admitting what he had in mind]]▼

====== Test ======
On April 23 2022 SouthernBloc launched yet another completely new server which, instead of the previous two 2.0 test iterations, is connected to from the default server IP being play.vintageciv.com and has dirt gravity, changing the way players build and traverse. With the terrain generation being done for the most part and the world map much bigger than the previous two 2.0 iterations, Southern states this server will last til the 2.0 launch day <ref>SouthernBloc (April 23 2022) [https://discord.com/channels/927062370352762941/937503678477262908/967570091162099752 @here The Test Server is now launched on the main IP, play.vintageciv.com. This will last until launch day, but the map gen tweaks are done for the most part. The 1.0 server will relaunch on the test box, but we need to test how it works on the main box. I stress that you take some time and play with the mechanics, so come launch day we have the final tweaks ready. Have a good weekend all!]</ref>. The servers name being known as the test server is not an official name but more so a placeholder name given by SouthernBloc in the aforementioned discord message reference. It was noticed the day after the server launched that naturally grown wild crops are unusually rare <ref>SouthernBloc (April 24 2022) [https://discord.com/channels/927062370352762941/931291079939096596/967917541429219370 wild crops are terrible to try and find ngl]</ref>, along with the fact that the equator is also unusually large, makes finding and growing crops much harder.
[[File:Group.png|thumb|A group photo taken by SouthernBloc on April 24
The history of the test server as of April 24 is short but eventful. Starting off with a small dirt hut Nessie made on a mid sized tropical island, it quickly gained a handful total of residents due to the tropical location and that the server owner was a resident there. The settlement was comprised of Fey, Miloski, SouthernBloc, Cratin, and Nessie. After maybe a real life day the civilization started was fruitful, with a small farm being built to the side of the now-wooden and stone brick house. The island was distinctly shaped like an elephants head, making it known as Elephant Island or Republic of Elephants, names like that <ref>SouthernBloc (April 23 2022) [https://discord.com/channels/927062370352762941/931291079939096596/967633858306654268 Elephant Republic]</ref><ref>SouthernBloc (April 232022) [https://discord.com/channels/927062370352762941/931291079939096596/967634121679585360 socialist republic of elephas]</ref><ref>[[File:Elephant.png|thumb|The elephant looking island that the unnamed settlement lived on for almost a day. ]]
</ref> But there was a inherent problem with the location, there were not many trees on the island and crops could barely grow in that climate. Going back to the aforementioned statement about the equator being too large and wild crops being too rare, makes this location especially hard to get food not from hunting as well as flax used in many common necessities in [[Vintage Story]]

The 5 piece group set sail to a land more suitable for crops as well as a more forested area. Along the way for the search of an appropriate area for this group there was a couple mishaps and deaths that temporarily set the group back a bit. It took a while for all the group members to eventually meet up and start building, but in the end basically all valuables and loot stored in the elephant islands chests were moved to the newer but more cold and forested settlement several hundred blocks north.
In April 25 a small update was released pertaining to the well known problem of wild crops being extremely rare in generation. The update on wild crop finding is confirmed by SouthernBloc to be a temporary fix to the aforementioned problem. The actual change to crop finding is to allow for a variety of crops to be found by cutting naturally growing grass. <ref>SouthernBloc (April 25 2022) [https://discord.com/channels/927062370352762941/937503678477262908/968265278301548584 Test Server Changelog 04/25/2022 -Added seed drops from cutting grass, also has hide and fabric integration for cotton. -added Acacia amulets, which took about an hour, but seems to work as intended Things will be tweaked, but I think wild crops needed a buff in generation, temporarily. I can bump their chances for 2.0 generation, however that only applies to new chunks. Don't expect the seed thing to stay. Logic of More Water = Less Land = less chance for wild crops to generate. Also expect generation to be affected now by temperature. Meaning if it can generate there, it can grow there. Cheers, SouthernBloc @here @Fiammata]
