Baltimare

[back]

Tldr History

Baltimare is a sim That original was a skybox, now it contains an extra sim [Horse hights] which is the residential area. The sim originally began around 2022 by rarapony as well as being manged by rose quartz, the sim slowly grew into popularity through 4chan /mlp/ as the opg thread! The first instance of this thread was created on the Tue 07 Jun 2022 after around 10 or so dozen threads were made on the brand new open pony (open pony is a pony avatar you could get for free!). The sim is a private invite only sim despite it being available to be teleported into as you must be a user of the board before entering! It is also known for hosting different game, drawing, karaoke events and much much more!

The creation of Baltimare (may-June 2022) {rougthly}

---

Originally a sky box in the... well sky, it was just a small house, near a camp fire with a couple pillows for people to hangout on. It also contained a stand where you were given the open pony model and later on a couple stores on the side offering a few unique items but nothing to big of interest, at this time it was mostly lead by rarapony as well as rose quartz (who to be honest did most the work at the time).

The sim progressed through meetings witch were held by the two where they would speak on top of a soap box to discuses future events and how things can improve for the sim.

another notable thing to happen around this time was the creation of the baltimare bungle (created by horselover) as well as wsis (the worst store in second life created by ambliz). The bungle becoming a great archive for what was to be and what happened in the sim and wsis being a great source of events for the sim.

another small mention was nommys journals which helped grow the sim through the documentation of their exploration around different second life sims! The culture of exploring sims still happens to this day around baltimare!

The Transition to becoming a full sim (oct 2022)

---

This is the time period where most thing have been created and where you get the themed design you have now. in the first issue of the bungle you can see that quote (who at the time was a new artist and modeler), started working on the 1920's esc design of the sim, though it was decided that others can build their own designs on their plot! This is also replicated in the bungle as it is show to be 100 yrs back of the actual date so 2022 -> became 1922, wsis follows the pattern as it follows a Victorian esc design, how original!

This is also when the janny board was created(since their was an uptake in new users) as well as eventually serving to become the divide between certain older users leading to the creation of cloudsdale due to the annoyances of possible people destroying the 4chan culture that was abound.

notable things that happened were also the inclusion of Havok (which was an rts defence game), the weekly art drawing , gto hosted mostly by copper which is a grid driving event where you explore sims in the main land through driving a car and finally the now defunct wsis coin system which allowed for people to collect coins while afk in the sim to spend on free hats and loot boxes as well as serving as a tool for later events and minigames.
