[url=https://www.youtube.com/@Blooprint]Bloorprint[/url] hit 2 MILLION subscribers. I do believe this makes him the highest subscribed Rust channel to date? Please do correct me if I'm wrong.

A nearly 4 hour masterpiece to commemorate the long road that got him here. Settle in, grab some popcorn, and give this man some of your time (and a thumbs up).

The map was a replica of earth in its entirety. Every region was battling to maintain control of their territory and take control of others. Blood was shed, politics were fierce, and treaties were undermined. This epic story FancyOrb narrated shows exactly how events unfolded. 300% worth the watch!
