Right across from that is the Gyurtown mall, where many different players have set up their own item shops. The Mall also has its very own landmark for players wanting to shop for items there.

History

The town was founded on July 6th 2021 by Gyurto, who was soon joined by his friend Kronisz, who unfortunatelyquit shortly after. Gyurto continued to work on the town and soon opened it to the public. A few people joined, most notably sevvenhotdog, who made significant contributions to the development of the town. A lot of projects were started, such as a Monastery, Musuem and the Winston Church.

After a while, the influx of new players to the town slowed down, as the existing plots were being fille, owever one notable player who joined was Pejsek_Jeden who built Pejsek island and a statue of Gyurto, located in the harbour.

Soon after that, the project turned into a private project, with Gyurto being the only remaining player. He continued to build in the town for years.

As of 2024, Gyurto has stated numerous times that the town is officialy complete, and that no new projects will be started, and given that the town is almost completely sorrounded by other towns and projects, it would be almos impossible to expand it, even if Gyurto decided to try.
