Empire War Siege starts in November, 2012, as a temporary server, the only map being the tiny Helm's Deep. This goes down well with the players, so the server stays.
I
Tim asks for permission from EpicQuestz to use the Minas Tirith map they created. They allow him to, and Lockrules becomes an Admin for the server. They also use an old map which still has its ruins in the Moria 1 map, where the goblins would have to climb the pillars of the 21st Halls to the core which the dwarves were protecting. This is now a discontinued map.
I
The server is becoming bigger and bigger through 2013, from the space changing from 20 players at a time to around 30, then to about 50, then soon going near 100. In this time, Lord_Sauron_ and Titan_Kronos_ (akennell12 at the time) become Pre-Mods. The maps also consist of Helm's Deep, Minas Tirith, Minas Morgul, Isengard, and Moria Gold.
I
Moria 1 is then added, and in about July iwasnumber4 becomes a Pre-Mod. Titan and Sauron both have Mod ranks at this time. Some time around here, LMS is also added.
I
Some time around August 12th 2013, the infamous RP server opens. The server only lasts a mere 12 days. After the closure of the server, a lot of people leave due to the RP server.
I
EW still continues to flourish with a lot of donations rolling in and a lot of people playing the server. At the weekends, 100/100 players were sometimes seen.
I
The EULA comes around in 2014, and donator rewards are removed from the server. As of this, the number of donations begin to decline. Point classes are then made as a different method of gaining classes.
I
In September 2014, Erebor is released and not very long after, so is the Black Gate. Everybody13 and Leo1326 (myself) are chosen as Pre-Mods. After all of this again, Osgiliath is released.
I
January/February 2015, iwasnumber4, Leo1326, Titan_Kronos_ and Lord_Sauron_ all lose their place on the EW staff team, mainly due to inactivity. Slimegirl24, arakrsptec and Mr_CookieSmurf become new Pre-Mods.
