The dissolution of the [[Queendom of Evermoor]] at the end of 2014 resulted in both a power vaccuum as well as many homeless players. The time was ripe for new great [[crews]] to emerge. Of all the upstarts, the British Empire was the most successful. Founded in January 2015 by [[CrazyPirate]], its growth skyrocketed and within a couple of weeks the British Empire already counted 20 citizens. | The dissolution of the [[Queendom of Evermoor]] at the end of 2014 resulted in both a power vaccuum as well as many homeless players.

Soon after the election the decision was made to merge the [[British Empire Training Crew]] (BETC) back into the main crew. The reason was that that too many recruits found friends in the BETC and didn't want to "graduate" into the British Empire for fear of losing contact with their comrades through /crew chat. The British Empire had been suffering a period of stagnation due to this effect and was in desperate need of fresh blood. The leadership recognised that in the long term, the BETC would end up smothering the group it had been designed to protect - thus the BETC had to be disbanded. Its legacy lived on, however, as Lazydog11's town [[Gloomsbay]] had been massively expanded due to the influx of new recruits and boasted, among other things, housing for dozens of active players and a large PvP arena. | Soon after the election the decision was made to merge the [[British Empire Training Crew]] (BETC) back into the main crew.

On 16th April 2015 PirateCraft moved over to 1.9. The British Empire was actively involved in the opening event and managed to procure rare items such as elytras and dragon heads. The upgrade also enabled the construction of paths on grass blocks using the right-click function of shovels. With the aim of ultimately creating a [[global road network]], the empire got to work connecting its northernmost and southernmost territories with [[road]]s. Within but a few days, it was already possible to travel several thousand blocks along a smooth roadway from Venice all the way up north past the [[Thirteen Colonies]] and into [[Port Gletscher]]. | On 16th April 2015 PirateCraft moved over to 1.9.

Other projects also sprang to life, such as the construction of a fully automated infinite free wheat farm near spawn for deckhands as well as the construction of the first buildings and houses in London besides [[Buckingham Palace]] and the [[Globe Theatre]]. | Other projects also sprang to life, such as the construction of a fully automated infinite free wheat farm near spawn for deckhands as well as the construction of the first buildings and houses in London besides [[Buckingham Palace]] and the [[Globe Theatre]]. | ||
