Castle Snowfrog was a massive castle complex founded by snowfrog43. It was relatively close to Spawn, and one of the most frequently visited destinations for new players. It was one of the oldest (if not the oldest) continuously-maintained bases on the server, having originally been started sometime in late 2011. Castle Snowfrog was also thought to be one of the largest and most dense bases on SimPvP as a whole, as many new buildings and structures were added within its confines over the years by various players.
On February 28th, 2019, the player The_Lucky_Lapin severely griefed the castle. He lived beside the nether portal for some time with the resources he gathered from his previous raid on Glowstone Tower. He then proceeded to lavacast, and cobble monster the base until it was unrecognizable. This feat took a measly 4 hours with 4 Y=256 lavacasts. On March 15th, the lava was removed by Korijenkins in an effort to restore passage through Snowfrog on the eastern spawn road.
On October 29th, 2019, during The Holy Wilbur-Francis War, the Battle of Snowfrog took place here. One of the largest battles ever fought on the server, it would ultimately result in a victory for The Order of Wilbur, who were able to secure a victory over the Church of Francis.
On February 12th, 2021, 4Pilot discovered Azdin in the process of griefing the castle and drove him away, then proceeded to lavacast what remained of the base to prevent it from suffering any further damage. This effectively marked the end of Castle Snowfrog's 9 year history, with what remains of the base now encased in lavacasts.
