Late June 2016 "newfags" finally outnumbered us, the original crew. Also around that time server really started to grow quick. Server started being advertised more and more by new joining players.

On 3rd of July 2016 the Constantiam subreddit is made by CrateOfBoxes (/u/g0yim).

On 18th of July 2016 the server was updated from 1.9.4 to 1.10.2 after few hours of testing. The update corrupted and reset a large portion of the nether dimension. The world size went down from 70gb to around 30gb.

With all the advertising, subreddit, youtube videos and great community forming server was getting more and more popular every day. It went from 0 players online before April, through 6-10 online in May to up to 35 regular players at end of July/ start of August.

Finally, on 28th of July 2016 constantiam hits 61 players, the highest seen at that time. On 31st of July 2016 a base called Delphi (3rd most important group base) is established by SirLeonidas and Laganstoop. (more about the base and its history).

Weeks later, on 16th of August 2016 two players join and reveal two huge exploits (teleportation and coordinate hack). Later that week, C4RTM4N aka QuaranBot is the first player (and last so far) to be banned from the server for trying to attack the server machine.

On 19th of September 2016 Fit (SilentPedro), a youtuber making videos for kids, raids the server during his live stream, because he had nothing better to do. His kids army floods the server maxing out the player cap (100/100).Pic#1. The raid started an influx of newfags and lead up to the creation of a group called KEKSquad created by MCG1979.
