Dotarch

Dotarch is a 1.18 Java Edition Minecraft server founded by Middle_Sand and Gogz_.

Founding and Launch
Dotarch was conceived on July 25th, 2020 in a Discord server for a guild called NewCadia. It started as a joke project of Middle_Sand's. Mids posted a picture of the early server in the Discord, and Gogz_ commented "What if we made a server ... With like many members and stuff lel". All involved in the chat liked the idea, and Gogz_ went out and bought the first hosting package. That night, development began.

Over the next month, all the original staff members (Middle_Sand, Gogz_, DocterBuster, JDestroyer, Rez, and CarrotTheCarrot) worked tirelessly to bring the server online as a simple SMP Survival server. This original gamemode would later be known as TradeArch.

On August 26th, 2020, 7 seconds after 4:00PM EST, Dotarch opened it's doors for the first time and welcomed many players, some of whom still play today.

2020
After the release of TradeArch as the original Dotarch, the server slowly improved as the staff became more experienced. (Dotarch was the first public server the founding staff had worked on, ever.) Several staff were hired through 2020, notably SimmplyDrawn, Squidboy895, and milo_yanno. October 2020 featured the Dark World. On November 18th, 2020, adadot converted the server into a Bungeecord network, renaming the original gamemode TradeArch. This name has stuck to this day. On December 2nd 2020, RaidArch was made live.

2021
RaidArch was shut down January 16th 2021 due to lack of playership.
