Welcome to State 3144

One year ago, we were strangers brought together by a mobile game — and, let's be honest, one very misleading advertisement. We thought we'd spend our days chopping wood and hunting bears. Nobody warned us the bear would become immortal, or that we'd lose hours to timers, rally logistics, and troop calculators — and somehow make friends with people from all over the world along the way.

That ad may not have shown us the real game, but we're grateful it brought us together.

This past year we've shared victories and defeats, late-night conversations, impossible events, server drama, and memories none of us expected to make. Through all of it, we stayed together — we grew stronger, we learned, and we adapted as one.

State 3144 was never really about power, rankings, or statistics. It's about the people. Strangers became teammates. Teammates became friends. And somewhere along the way, we became family.

To every alliance, every leader, every R4 and R5, every whale, every free-to-play player, every veteran and every newcomer who has ever called State 3144 home — thank you. Building this state alongside you has been one of the greatest privileges of my life. Together we built something bigger than a game: a community that spans countries, languages, and cultures.

Here's to one incredible year, to the friendships we've made, to the family we've become — and to many more adventures ahead.
