I tried scouring the internet to find anything about how the DreamSMP fell off, but nothing that I found really gave me a clear answer. This is a retrospective of my favorite Minecraft SMP that answers the question: How could something with so much passion and support behind it fail this badly? We’ll go over the genius decisions that made the server so successful and go over how those very same decisions led to the server’s downfall.

Glossary to keep you barely not confused

Disc Saga – the entire story where Dream tries to take Tommy’s discs
L’manberg – The nation that Wilbur formed in order to gain independence from Dream
Election Arc – The arc where Wilbur wanted to reinforce his power, so he held an election to gain the popularity of the people, but lost to Jschlatt and Quackity, which ended up with Wilbur and Tommy being banished from L’manberg
Manberg – the name that Jschlatt renamed L’manberg to once he won the L’manberg election over Wilbur
Pogtopia – the sanctuary that Wilbur and Tommy formed after they were kicked out of L’manberg by Jschlatt
Final Disc confrontation – the final battle between Tommy and Tubbo vs Dream
Prison Arc – after Tommy defeated Dream, he decided that instead of killing him, he would send Dream to prison and the rest of the Arc is just Dream’s life in prison
Church Prime – a bit that Tommy, Tubbo, Dream, and Quackity did where they created a religion based on Christianity combined with Twitch culture

My first short story: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QbuZYWft6p48KRvE48UkTsDgJdyxRkJJ5qc0C5Yh5tc/edit

(viewer discretion advised, I couldn’t even read past the first paragraph without recoiling in embarrassment; the dialogue was purposefully cringe in the first act, but the rest of the story is just bad)
