The '''RotMG Nexus''' is the first area of the r/place 2022 canvas claimed by the community of the video game Realm of the Mad God. This area displays various game sprites, such as those for all 18 playable character classes. The name of this area comes from the hub area of the game, the Nexus, as the community saw it as a "home base" due to it being the first RotMG area claimed.

This was the very first area the RotMG community claimed on the r/place 2022 canvas, with pixels being placed down in the area as early as 0:56.

RotMG's first allies were [[Fish Cult]], and three orange fish were originally placed in the Nexus to honor them.

==Inspiration==
The artwork features several sprites from Realm of the Mad God, drawn using the r/place palette. Originally, the playable classes were depicted in the Nexus as their older game textures, from before the game's sprites were updated in Exalt Version 2.2.0.0. They were later changed to match their current textures.
