Papineau gets its own warp

Montreal's newest district is one command away, with streets, a square and a shop to show for a week's work.

Montreal's Papineau district now has a public warp. Type /t warp Montreal papineau into chat and you are there — no directions and no walk from spawn.

The warp went up on 31 July, at the end of the week that turned Papineau from a name into a place. Twelve chunks were claimed into Papineau county, Papineau Avenue and Apheal Street were laid out, and a shop opened at the warp point itself. Papineau Square followed in the days after.

The district ran hot through the July mayoral race — one chant in the election channel was simply PAPINEAU 4EVER — and the building committee spent the back half of the month making sure the new streets did not clash with what was already standing next door.

If you have not been, the warp is the easy way in.
