Archaic Queue Era (apr 25, 2020 – sep 28, 2020)

Description:

The Archaic Queue Era began with the public introduction of fishing by WheresColdex. Badminning heavily decreased as these items entered a new and flourishing economy with the queue shop being added. Players banded together as groups such as Museum Island and Sky Sailors formed in this era. The ability to glide around queue was added with the addition of the elytra in the secret shop. This addition created class distinctions more prevalent than before. It also established a book market as new enchanted books became useful, and mending shot up in value. There was also a pretty agreeable price for each enchanted book with little competition due to the "first come first serve" tradition that was part of the trading morals at the time. Dunkey, a donkey that lived on Old Queue island, sacrificed himself on July 30 which was the saddest day on queue. However, very few additions had major impact as most of the additions included new parkours, islands, and a few shop changes.
The SS Bowl Exploit make Sky Sailors the richest group on the server despite being taxed heavily. Their exploits led to the expansion of the world guard, the removal of the ability to sell bowls in the queue shop, and the impact of bowls as a meme item on queue. Events such as the Bowlist Revolution occurred in reaction to the SS Bowl Scandal, and even today, bowls have an impact on queue with the bowl emote and the shitpost channel being called bowlposts in Master Baiters, the queue discord, despite Sky Sailors being a shell of what it once was today.
However, despite everything that happened in the Archaic Queue Era, queue began to decline. As the school year came around and players started leaving, queue became stale for the ones that stayed around due to the lack of community and new features to queue. Despite attempts to revive queue like I8's revival campaign, these attempts were very unsuccessful keeping queue desolate, having fewer players than ever before.
Ideas of new additions were brought up like a Fight Club arena where players could fight to the death or plots that could be purchased with queue nuggets. However, despite these ideas being proposed, they were not implemented until weeks later. This lead to many people having a false hope for queue and quitting. However, with the addition of PvP in Fight Club and Queue Town later on, a new wave of players joined ending the Archaic Queue Era
