The Past The city of Metrosolaris was started June 19th, 2011 by Miner3141 and KILLEDBYbobbylee. The map was first started after the two players got inspired to build a minecraft airport after watching a youtube video. The city started as only a airport in the beginning, only after the airport was built did the two decide to take on the much larger task of making a city.
Within the first few months of the map being created a small skyline rose from the ground. Progress was slow and buildings were no where near as detailed and complex at they are today. This was due to the state of the game at that time. The city was started in version beta 1.5. There was no creative mode and no way to fly on the unmodded server Miner3141 hosted from his computer at home, as well as not mc-edit or world edit. Also at that time the sky limit was only 128 blocks high with severely restricted the creativity of building skyscrapers.

As the months went on the building styles of Miner3141 and KILLEDBYbobbylee improved. Minecraft also began going though more updates and the builders could use new blocks like stone brick and glass panes and creative mode was added. The Skydome mall was finished around the beginning of September 2011. Eventually the original airport had already grown outdated and the city was fastly being built around it. At this time the two builders removed their original airport to build the new Metrosolaris International Airport you see today further on the outskirts of town. From there the city grew more and more each day, and slowly became the city you see today. With that being said the city was worked on, on and off though the years.
The Future The City of Metrosolaris for the first time in more than 2 years is finally starting to assemble a team of skilled builders to continue the growth of the city. This is a momentous occasion for the city considering everything up until this point was built by Miner3141 and KILLEDBYbobbylee alone. The original builders also plan to create much more media of the city to get more publicity.
