These events have helped shape the server's culture and history while creating lasting memories for players.<br /> <br /> __TOC__<br /> <br /> == The Riverside Ghost Skull Hunt (2019) ==<br /> One of the earliest documented server events was the Ghost Skull Hunt held in Riverside.<br /> <br /> On March 10, 2019, players were challenged to locate ten hidden ghost skulls scattered throughout spawn. Players who successfully found and interacted with all ten skulls received a reward of $500.<br /> <br /> The event returned on March 15, 2019, when the skulls were hidden again throughout Riverside, including underground locations and player-built structures near spawn.<br /> <br /> This event became one of the first organized scavenger hunts in Ironclad history.<br /> <br /> == The Government Update (2019) ==<br /> On July 11, 2019, Ironclad introduced one of the most ambitious social experiments in server history: the Government Update.<br /> <br /> The goal was to create a functioning government within Spawn Town, allowing players to serve in elected and appointed positions responsible for managing various aspects of the city.<br /> <br /> The first government offices included:<br /> <br /> * Postmaster<br /> * Transportation Director<br /> * Mayor<br /> * Clerk<br /> * Sheriff<br /> * Deputy<br /> * Chief Architect<br /> * Parks and Recreation Director<br /> * Trading Post Manager<br /> * Server Storage Director<br /> * Maintenance Manager<br /> * Judge<br /> * Farm Manager<br /> * Museum Curator<br /> <br /> Players submitted candidacy paperwork at the courthouse and elections were held to determine office holders.<br /> <br /> The government system became one of the defining features of early Riverside.<br /> <br /> == The New Haven Migration (2019) ==<br /> On October 28, 2019, Ironclad celebrated its first anniversary.<br /> <br /> To mark the occasion, a new city named New Haven was established as the server's primary spawn point.<br /> <br /> Nearly 2,000 players had contributed to Riverside by this time. Rather than abandoning the city, Riverside became a historic location while New Haven became the center of a new generation of development.<br /> <br /> This marked the first major spawn transition in server history.<br /> <br /> == The Founding of Birch Creek (2020) ==<br /> On June 20, 2020, Birch Creek was officially established.<br /> <br /> Located northeast of New Haven in a birch forest region, Birch Creek represented another fresh start for players seeking new opportunities and community projects.<br /> <br /> Players could access Birch Creek through the spawn system and were encouraged to help shape the settlement.<br /> <br /> == The Birch Creek Treasure Hunt (2020) ==<br /> On August 28, 2020, Turtle hosted Ironclad's first Lodestone Treasure Hunt.<br /> <br /> Players were given Lodestone Compasses that pointed toward hidden lootboxes containing valuable rewards.<br /> <br /> Four lootboxes were hidden throughout the world<br /> <br /> The Birch Creek Treasure Hunt concluded successfully on August 28, 2020. The four hidden lootboxes were discovered and claimed by:<br /> <br /> * Direct<br /> * 5Tom5<br /> * Sivior<br /> * GarbyGas<br /> <br /> These players became the winners of Ironclad's Lodestone Compass treasure hunt event<br /> <br /> == The Riverside Mayor Election (2020) ==<br /> In December 2020, Riverside held one of its most significant elections.<br /> <br /> Players submitted candidacy papers through the Riverside Courthouse and campaigned for office.<br /> <br /> Voting officially occurred on December 31, 2020.<br /> <br /> MrYuckey was elected Mayor of Riverside.<br /> <br /> The election demonstrated the continued importance of player government systems long after Riverside ceased being the primary spawn.<br /> <br /> == New Haven Leadership Election (2020) ==<br /> <br /> Following the Riverside mayoral election, New Haven held its own leadership election. Players wishing to run for office were required to travel to the New Haven Courthouse, submit candidacy paperwork, gather supporters, and participate in the election process.<br /> <br /> Bob_the_job was elected Lord of New Haven. The election was historically significant because it marked a period where Riverside, New Haven, and Birch Creek all possessed organized leadership structures simultaneously. This represented the height of the Government Update system introduced in 2019 and demonstrated Ironclad's commitment to player-driven administration.<br /> <br /> <br /> With Riverside, New Haven, and Birch Creek all having leadership positions, Ironclad entered a period where multiple major settlements operated simultaneously under player leadership.<br /> <br /> == The Halloween Build Competition (2023) ==<br /> In October 2023, organized competitions returned to Ironclad after several years.<br /> <br /> Players were given plots near Hillcrest and tasked with creating Halloween-themed builds.<br /> The Halloween Build Competition was promoted as Ironclad's first organized build competition in years.

Fancy Gold Armor pieces into the world.<br /> <br /> Players were tasked with obtaining all four pieces:<br /> <br /> * Direct's Fancy Hat<br /> * Direct's Fancy Shirt<br /> * Direct's Fancy Pants<br /> * Direct's Fancy Feets<br /> <br /> The first player to collect and return all four pieces would receive a reward of $20,000.<br /> <br /> The event encouraged exploration, trading, alliances, negotiations, and competition between players.<br /> <br /> == The Hillcrest Build Challenge (2024) ==<br /> On August 18, 2024, a community build challenge was announced to improve the Hillcrest region.<br /> <br /> Players were assigned themed plots and rewarded for completing quality structures.<br /> <br /> Each accepted build received:<br /> <br /> * $1,500 In-Game Cash<br /> <br /> The
