Survival 2

Template:Server world infoboxSurvival 2 is a major world of the Cyberdog Nation Server and the second survival world, succeeding the long standing Survival world. It was rumored that a new survival world would be created to increase player interest with new players and reduce lag caused by the enormous size of the original world, however no official announcement came until August where it was announced that while the original world would remain online, a new Survival world would be created to launch in September. Finally, on September 2^nd, 2017, the Survival 2 world was launched to the public in an interactive twitch live stream with ReNDoG.

Announcement

Speculation

Prior to the announcement of the Survival 2 world, there was some speculation as to the creation of a new world, though many players believed due to how long the Survival world had been running as the primary world. The idea of launching a new world was met with some criticism amongst longstanding players, as players felt that the Survival world should remain the primary world on the server given it's legacy.

Reveal

The existence of the new world was confirmed in August of 2017 by a moderator discord announcement. In addition, it was confirmed that both worlds would remain on the server to play on, though the Survival 2 world would become the main world for the server. A ReNDoG live stream would be to open the world on the 2^nd of September later that same year.

Live Stream and Release

The Survival 2 world was launched via a live stream with ReNDoG, in the form of a story-based stream where viewers along with ReNDoG had to battle the 'dwarves' (played by server moderators and builders), leading up to a grand battle with the Ender Dragon. The tale was conveyed via books, which were handed out before the final battle, but due to an erroneous teleport, all players were killed and the books were subsequently lost.

Getting Around

There are a number of options for travel around the Survival 2 world. Players can use the /sethome command across the server to return to places as they like, however in addition to this there are a number of public transport options available:

Warps:

A number of areas are publicly available to teleport to with commands, such as:

• /spawn - Takes you to Spawn.
• /warp end2 - Takes you to the End Portal.
• /warp colorfully - Takes you to the Colors Event area.

The Survival 2 Railway Network (SRN) is a community-operated overworld public transport service that consists of a number of minecart railway lines across the Survival 2 world. It can be accessed from a number of major builds and settlements through the Survival 2 world, such as Spawn. It is centered in the City of Havana. The SRN also links smaller builds via Secondary Lines and networks from stations.

Nether Transport Network

The Nether Transport Network (NTN) on Survival 2 is the nether-based counterpart to the Survival 2 Railway Network, which is based on hyper-speed transportation using the mechanic of boats placed on packed ice to get around quickly. Just like the SRN, the NTN can be accessed from a variety of locations across the server.

Key Locations

Since the opening of Survival 2, several majorly notable settlements and building projects have been created.

Spawn

Spawn is the center point of the Survival 2 world, where the World Border is centered around and where new players join. Spawn has a number of plots for players to purchase and live in and features a number of key builds involved in the Launch of the Survival 2 World. Spawn was built in Creative Mode prior to the release of the world.

The City of Havana, based on the Cuban city of the same name was founded on the same day the new Survival 2 world. Originally proposed and designed by Brianetta on a creative world , the city's scope quickly expanded to become the travel hub and culture center of the world as prominant server members _edo and darparniox joined the project. It can be accessed by travelling south of Spawn Station^[SRN]. It is considered to be the largest settlement on the server.

In April 2018, ReNDoG toured Havana in a base tour video.

Akkara City is a city based on a mix between Aztec and Colonial architecture and was founded on the launch of the Survival 2 world simultaneously with Havana, however the city did not open until later on. The project was originally proposed by William278, notable for his work on Lackria City on the original Survival world and LAK3RS, a server pioneer and accomplished builder on the server before the launch of the new world. A decision was made during the opening of the world to open the city in the coordinate center of the world at (0, 0) and an island was built at the location with a connective bridge to commemorate this.

On the 28^th of April 2018, Akkara City opened to an organized event and a live streamed base tour opening with ReNDoG. It is considered to be the second largest settlement on the server, after the City of Havana.
