NOTICE: Timeline Keys do NOT show where the era started but its overall impact. For example, despite starting from Do War, the Error Era had a global impact; however, the Empire Era only impacted Do War and did not affect the game globally.

Bertha Era 🌎

The game was just opened for supporters! Right now, the game is called “Landscape Simulator,” but nothing super interesting happened in this era, just many patches and features were added. During the Bertha Era, the first person to test the game was called Breather29. AdventureGuy was the second player, but he created the first video ever made by a supporter. Eventually, a massive update completely changed the course of the game.

Armor Era 🌎

Weapons, armor, PVP, PVE, loot, leveling, etc. were all added during this era. This era added supporters to battle each other and gain levels. This era also added health, strength, speed, stamina, etc. This era also introduced animals into the game, allowing players to fill their new hunger bars. To put it short, this era added everything players would need for combat and realism. The most important part is this is the time when DaUpdatesOfLife, another user, was allowed permission to tell supporters and awaiting fans about upcoming and current updates.

Law Era 🌎

This era introduced a bunch of law enforcement, including Police, Ambulance, Firefighters, etc. Jails and prisons were also introduced, as well as government systems; monarchy, oligarchy, or democracy. Breather29 became the monarch and created the set of laws that Main Server still follows. This was also when Breather29 had her first son, Zimmy. Zimmy would end up becoming the first hero in the game. Remember, only one server existed back then. Nations, countries, etc. were also introduced, which ended up bringing war. The idea of segment gods was also introduced, and the first two gods, Kim and then Octopower, were created. Overall, the Law Era is when the game finally got attention and interest. Eventually, creating servers was introduced, and the first community server, “Do War,” was created by Bance. Premium was also added.

Artifact Era 🌎

This era introduced several magical artifacts that trigger special events, or give the player lots of power. In this era, The Stonecutter, The Sword of All Time, The Black Bull, etc. were all introduced. Even though there are several famous stories involving these artifacts, those stories do not happen until the next era. However, this era is when the Swiftmen and AOE are introduced. The Swiftmen are vigilantes that stop crimes beyond the scope of the police. The Swiftmen are ruled by Taurus, and this is also when Speedman, the fastest Swiftmen ever, joins them. Speedman ends up defeating several gangs and missions, but he ends up dying to Dark Speedman near the end of the era. After Speedman’s death, Bonico starts to train to join the Swiftmen. Bonico does eventually get in, but not in this era.

Empire Era ⚔️

This era was when Timmy and Bimmy started to embark on several adventures, and it also marked the arrival of many infamous villains such as The Dragon Master, Wormy, etc. During the Empire Era, Bonico also became the leader of the Swiftmen. Overall, this era is when the majority of conflict first began to take place. However, a massive threat was lurking around the corner.

Error Era 🌎

Also known as "The Error Saga," this era was when Dawn became an error and caused mass devastation in both the game and reality. Other conflicts such as The Megachest were also in conflict during the Error Era. Overall, during the Error Era, every situation involving Dawn, Bimmy, etc. were all in place during this era. Dawn's death marks the end of this massive era.

Grand Era ⚔️

During the Grand Era, the rest of the situations before the Josh Ring occurred. Many other updates such as Calamity Wars were added during this era as well. However, Eginouleaiean ends up making a ring, that would give someone unstoppable power.

Josh Era ⚔️

After Josh started to cause mass destruction, a new era began in the game. Several members from Do War had to create a Timmy Ring to destroy the Josh Ring. However, after the Josh Ring, more situations played out, and one of those resulted in Eginouleaiean getting a deletion, ending this era.

Eginoulo Era ⚔️ 

The Eginoulo Era takes place after the death of Eginouleaiean. Not much can be said since this era has little to talk about due to its recency.

Fauna Era 🌎

The Fauna Era was completely unmentioned... until Do War randomly updated with the most groundbreaking feature ever. Players could now be animals! This led to many villains, heroes, and just curious people recruiting or becoming animals to experiment with plans. What could happen with this new ability? Due to Do War making animals, this lead to the game as a whole overhauling animals and several other servers following in the same footsteps as Do War.

Reality Timeline

Bertha Era:

In July of 2012, DOW is introduced as Landscape Simulator and the company "LandScapeGame LLC" is introduced. They started with a small team of software developers, programmers, artists, and networking experts. Jarkus and the Co-Owner were the project leaders. They performed tasks such as coming up with ideas, programming, interface designing, and modeling. Some people like Kevin Bond were hired for Networking and Security. Testers related to employees such as Breather29 were hired as testers for Landscape Simulator. Landscape Simulator was later ported over to the Basidine programming language, requiring a massive expansion of the team and eventually leading to DOW's incorporation. 

Armor Era:

After DOW's incorporation, the building was moved from Henderson, Nevada to Des Moines, Iowa. The building was massively expanded to fit dozens of employees. It was a gamble, but one Jarkus was willing to take. The old DOW building would become a storage warehouse. Jarkus and his new group of employees worked hard on a new update to try and bring more fantasy and realistic elements to DOW at the same time. It succeeded and the update attracted a lot of content creators like AdventureGuy12 and DaUpdatesOfLife. 

Law Era:

The year is 2013. A while after the incorporation process, the corporation rebranded into "DOW Incorporated." Near the start of this era, Bance was granted an internship at "DOW Incorporated." This gave Bance an inside look at DOW's networking and programming, inspiring him to create his own server, "Do War," which would go on to be one of the most popular servers and ends up surpassing the main server itself. The premium subscription was also added, causing a massive income increase for DOW. This led to different tiers in the future. Servers such as Atlantis were also created around this time.

Artifact Era:

The year is 2014. This is the era where several artifacts were introduced and DOW was also massively expanding. DOW now had several locations across the world.  Due to DOW's intense storage requirements and CPU usage, several "DOW" computers were sold at DOW retail stores alongside some merchandise of NPCs.  The Des Moines, Iowa location would be the DOW Headquarters. The Swiftmen were introduced around this era.

Empire Era:

The year is 2015. Lots of new artifacts were introduced to the game and the game was pretty much an MMO. Profits were skyrocketing as nobody had ever seen a game like this. For 2015, the game was hyper-realistic while still including fantasy elements. The first ever arrest related to DOW happened during this era. The arrest was Leo Innop, who was arrested for kidnapping charges after he got his account deleted.

Error Era:

The year is 2016. A black-market antiques dealer named Dawn Reuter, who would eventually become "Dark Error", is planning a heist on the old DOW warehouse in Henderson. Her goal is to steal the antique hard drives, discs, VHS tapes, documents and various other antiquities then proceed to auction them. Meanwhile, the DOW networking and security analyst, Kevin Bond, is secretly experimenting with some of DOW's more advanced features to find exploits and sharing his findings under-the-table on the forum of "Wormy Hacks" under the pseudonym "Anonymous Phone." Kevin eventually meets someone going by the pseudonym "Anonymous Receiver" who would later become his partner-in-crime, "The Intellector". Kevin becomes "The Error" and Dawn goes on to become "Dark Error" by using the old stolen DOW software combined with knowledge from the "Wormy Hacks" forum. There also a couple of other "Errors" during this era, "Metal Error" and "Iron Error". They are glitched NPCs created during "The Error"'s experiments. The server Atlantis also gets deleted, which results in one of the first physical fights caused in Reality due to DOW and the first arrest caused due to DOW, luckily nobody is killed which unfortunately cannot be said for some of the other fights during this era.  A warrant is issued for Kevin Bond's arrest but nothing comes from it as Jarkus, the board of directors, and Kevin settle out of court. The era ends with Dawn's death. 

Game Universe

DOW Timeline

The Creation of DOW:

The game Dragons and Warriors is created by Jarkus. Do War is later created by Bance. The SWIFTMEN get formed to defeat several criminal organizations such as the AOE.

The Speedman Era

This is the era where The Speedman takes place. Speedman, a member of the SWIFTMEN, investigates a city overrun with gangs. A key difference between the game and the comic is that Speedman kills all of the gang leaders in the game. The fight between Dark Speedman happens and Dark Speedman personally kills Speedman.
