Until early 2013, most players used the roads of the realms in an effort to level up faster. These “EXP Road Trains” were the ancestors of today’s Fame Trains. They did not offer large fame gains and were focused purely on hitting level 20. However, EXP Road Trains revolved around the same principle; players attempted to build fast-moving groups to mow down enemies in an effort to cap out experience gained per unit time.
In late 2013, several players (Fiddy, MCitadel, etc.) began to realize that the Godlands could be used to make a more efficient train. This was the start of the Fame Train as we know it today.
While there are variations on Godlands fame trains, the core pattern is a group of players circling the godlands in an effort the maximize spawn rates. Based on inherent spawn patterns, the circling / edge method was able to offer previously unreached fame gains.
The (2013-2014) fame train was originially located in EUNorth2. This train had no strategy or method to maximize spawns and relied on bulk to steamroll gods.
After a period of decline, the second train server (2014-2015) became EUW2. Circling became the norm and people starting becoming familiar with spawn patterns enough to exploit them.
According to several fame trainers, this was the “Golden Age” of the train, where FPM (fame per minute) was constantly above 15.
has switched to a lot of different servers, which can be determined by having access to the fame train Discord, the people running the train were previously known as the private trainers, and had a separate discord only given to people that met the requirements. However, the server that the train was on was very often revealed by many people, causing the previously extremely private fame trains to be invaded by people. Because of this, the group decided to go public revealing their discord link and since then, the fame train can be accessed by anyone, very often reaching well over 100 in the train at once.
If you get access to the discord, there are several rules that bind the people in the train from ruining the train, if you do break them then you WILL be recognized as the train as the clown of the group, you will be banned from the train discord, and if you carry on then the train will switch servers. These include:
Most trains are in the godlands, but they can sometimes stray to the highlands. If you wish to get to an fametrain quickly, simply zoom out the minimap completely and teleport to the largest clump of yellow dots closest to the center of the realm.
The popularity of the fame train often leads to very full realms, with the number of people in the realm exceeding the limit of 85. The realm the train is in can be identified by a clump of players on top of the realm portal, waiting to get in. To bypass the long waiting times, simply enter “/nexustutorial” in the Nexus chat, complete the Nexus tutorial and Oryx’s kitchens, and enter the realm portal. This transports the player to a random realm in the server, regardless of whether it’s full.
