History

Foundation and early promotions (2016–2017)

Tranquil Forest was founded on December 19, 2016, shortly after hvt2011 gained membership. On the first day, hvt2011 envisioned Tranquil Forest as becoming a transport supercenter for the southeast Gamma region. The Tranquil Forest Metro was first constructed to be the foundation for this vision, ensuring the city had a strong transit backbone. These plans were put on hold shortly as the server transitioned into the Epsilon era. After a few weeks of hvt2011 creating buildings in Tranquil Forest, the town was promoted to Councillor on January 2, 2017. A few days later, on January 16, 2017, the town was promoted to Mayor.

Tranquil Forest Central (2017)

Following Tranquil Forest's promotion to Mayor, hvt2011 wanted to build a large train station that rivaled Zaquar Tanzanite Station, a warp rail station in Zaquar that was rebuilt to have 42 tracks. This led to the plans to create a transit hub with 32 warp train tracks and 16 minecart tracks named Tranquil Forest Central. hvt2011 built Tranquil Forest Central in his lab on the Lab World. At the time, Mayor towns were only permitted to have one warp train line to another town. This allowed Fred Rail to operate one train to Wythern as a short shuttle to the rest of the New World.

hvt2011 shifted focus from Tranquil Forest to BluRail, as warp train companies began to gain traction. After a few months of building and planning BluRail, hvt2011 realized that Tranquil Forest Central could serve as the station needed to join the entire BluRail network together. hvt2011 shifted his focus to promoting Tranquil Forest to Senator in order to be able to paste the station into the town; however, shortly after the focus was put back on the town, the rules regarding limiting transit connections between towns were lifted at the April 2017 GSM. hvt2011 then quickly pasted the station in on the night of April 9, 2017. Fred Rail trains were rerouted underground from their temporary station in place of Tranquil Forest Central. hvt2011 then shifted focus to expanding BluRail and connecting Tranquil Forest to the rest of the New World.

Senator and Tranquil Forest Airfield (2017–2018)

Beginning in May 2017, construction in Tranquil Forest continued slowly, as hvt2011 had no incentive to obtain Senator. In October 2017, hvt2011 founded BluAir, joining the trend of creating new airlines. BluAir became hvt2011's main focus as 2017 went on and quickly set up numerous flights. hvt2011 then realized that, in order to grow an airline with speed, he would need to build an airfield to hub at, which resulted in him submitting Tranquil Forest for Senator to see what would need to be improved in the town. Tranquil Forest was submitted for review in City Rank Promotion Batch 21 and was denied for promotion on February 1, 2018, by a vote of 1–7. hvt2011 then restarted construction on Tranquil Forest, resulting in more buildings being constructed, and the two disjointed parts of the town were connected. hvt2011 submitted Tranquil Forest for review in City Rank Promotion Batch 23 and was promoted on April 1, 2018, by a unanimous 5–0 vote. Tranquil Forest Airfield was pasted in immediately as hvt2011 had built the airfield in the lab anticipating promotion.

After Tranquil Forest obtained the rank of Senator, development in the city slowed as hvt2011 did not have the motivation to obtain Governor. hvt2011 perceived that the Governor rank was "only used to create a large airport" and that Tranquil Forest Airfield had already provided an ample hub for BluAir. Gates at the airfield were quickly occupied as BluAir had already planned many flights to Tranquil Forest to connect it to more cities. The airfield was rebuilt to elevate the runway and gates, with reconstruction being completed in November 2018. Following the reconstruction, hvt2011 stopped working on Tranquil Forest after shifting his focus to BluAir and BluRail.

Governor (2020–present)

When Modgate occurred in October 2020, hvt2011 gave Tranquil Forest away to SansNotLuigi with the intention of leaving the MRT Server. In March 2021, hvt2011 asked SansNotLuigi to transfer the city back to continue development in the city.

hvt2011 had the goal of enhancing transport in the southeastern region of the New World with the idea of creating Dance Dance Revolution International Airport, a large international airport in the city. To obtain this goal, hvt2011 began vigorously working on the city, creating the BluRail Museum, Tranquil Forest Amphitheater, and specialized shops near the spleef arena, such as the Wordle Cente and Amongi Worship Center. Tranquil Forest was submitted for Governor on February 24, 2022, and was approved for promotion to Governor on March 9, 2022, by a vote of 4–2.

On November 20, 2023, the Tranquil Forest Metro ceased operations.

Buildings

Tranquil Forest Observation Tower

Tranquil Forest has over 80 builds. Some major buildings in Tranquil Forest include the first hvt's Arcade, Tranquil Forest Central, the Tranquil Forest Observation Tower, and the TRONC building. The city is also home to the only BluRail Museum in existence.

Most buildings in Tranquil Forest are created with a dark oak or quartz pallet, to create the town's vibe.

Large blue skyscrapers and buildings in the northwestern part of the town have been archived. Before their archival, hvt2011 would update the buildings with any changes to the BluRail and BluAir network.

Transport

Tranquil Forest has many transit connections out of the city, with a majority operated by BluTransit. Tranquil Forest Central serves as the only rail station in the city, centralizing train operations within the city. Tranquil Forest Airfield serves as the main hub for air travel in Tranquil Forest. The two bus stations in Tranquil Forest are located on the southwestern outskirts of the town.

Tranquil Forest is planned to have an additional air facility, Dance Dance Revolution International Airport.

Tranquil Forest Metro

The Tranquil Forest Metro was the minecart metro system serving Tranquil Forest, having four lines and seven stations opened before it ceased operations on November 28, 2023.
