2013

2013 was the 2nd year in Mapperdonia. In this year, the Mapping community began to expand, adding more prominent early mappers like Goldenrebel25 and MrOwnerandPwner. The first Map Games were also created in this year. Due to a result of rising tensions on the wiki over its governorship, Factions arose, dividing users and mappers into different groups. A sizeable amount had joined the UPMU (United Protectors of the Mapping Universe), led by Zephyrus. It became a rival to the GMU which was founded by Goldenrebel25. The UPMU eventually became the largest faction in the wiki after absorbing the GMU in late 2013.

Factions often clashed with each other in what were called Wiki Wars, incidents where vandalism and flaming were often used as weapons. Most of these wars arose from arguments or disputes from prominent users, and resulted in changes on the wiki. The most prominent conflicts on the wiki began as a result of hostilities towards the user Arceusfan2013 (better known as Arcy). Disputes over whether or not Arcy was a mapper led to conflicts such as The Anti-ArceusFan Coalition War, waged in November 2013.

Often remembered as the year when the Mapping community was still small yet growing exponentially, 2013 was labeled as a "Golden Age" by some of the Wiki staff.
