The Architect

The Architect was an anonymous figure who was funding wars in V3 by supplying Gold and Gear to multiple PvP factions. When a player was asked how they got so much gold, they would simply reply, "The Architect". The identity of the anonymous figure was exposed to be the M.I.A EarthPol Staff Manager Dandire.

Through the use of CoreProtect, Dandire would pick up a shulker box full of loot and roll it back and pick it up again. After they stacked themselves full of shulkers, they would do /kill Dandire over the top of a giant hopper bay that would prevent players from picking up the items. Creatively, this bypassed the traditional logging of CoreProtect because the inventory pickup was never counted, and it just appeared to be regular shulker box interactions.

Dandire would only login after 0xBit was offline and deploy regular drops at large nations such as DenFish's nation of Baja Blast and the nation of The Republic. At the time, Helper pmkcanadian would later be banned for his role in coming up with the schemes to bypass CoreProtect.

Eventually, their own greed got the best of them when 300,000 Gold was found in the Nation bank of Baja Blast which consisted of mostly PvPers who only logged on for Sieges and never spent any time grinding or building. Many others in the community started to get suspicious and 0xBit lead an investigation that ultimately revealed that multiple sets of gear and hundreds of thousands of gold was illegitimately spawned in by Dandire. This would eventually lead to the banning of everyone in Baja Blast and The Republic. This would eventually tank player count; the economy was behind repair, and this eventually led to the shutdown of V3.

In a later time, Dandire said that he did the duping because he did not agree with 0xBit's changes to the server.
