The Story of How This Started

Hi. So I'm writing this at 8:33 A.M (CST) in the morning while sipping coffee and listening to the three menu songs of Minecraft. So this might sound weird. I'll probably update this later.

Let me start at the beginning. Me and Raven started playing games together when I saw she was playing a mobile game called Pou. It was fun, but not very interactive. Then it moved on to a game called Fish Live, which is a virtual fish tank. That was a little more fun. I also had started playing Minecraft Pocket Edition, but I didn't know Raven played it, and I'm not even sure they had multiplayer yet. Finally, I got my first PC. It has an ancient Pentium processor, 4 GB of RAM, 500 GB storage, Windows Vista(which was later switched to Windows 7 x64), and integrated graphics. A few days later, my older brother bought me a copy of Minecraft(now Minecraft Java Edition). I started playing that, then one day Raven heard I played it. We worked for about a week to figure out how to play multiplayer, until Raven bought a realm at the end of the week. That's when it all started. I can still remember sitting at my desk, talking to Raven on the house phone, playing Minecraft.

Fast forward to around 2015. Raven had bought a new beastly gaming rig, and had found an amazing game called Ark: Survival Evolved. By now I had gotten a pretty decent gaming rig: an HP thing-a-ma-jigger. It had 16 GB of RAM, 3 TB storage, Windows 10 Pro (64), an Intel Core i7, and integrated graphics. Obviously, you can't play Ark on integrated graphics. And my HP PC wasn't exactly made for upgradability. It used a custom motherboard power cable. So I went for three months without a PC, until finally, some dude at my bro's job told me he was selling his old Alienware PC. Around the same specs, but it had an AMD GPU, and was better with customization. I got it, downloaded Ark, and boom. We started playing it. Point being is we started branching out from Minecraft.

And now, here we are, at the end of 2020. This has been a very sucky year. And for the last two years, me and Raven have been striving for a Minecraft community worth calling home. But one issue: THE INTERNET HAS CHANGED. Population of furry's has skyrocketed, everyone's a troll, and it seems every single thing on the internet is a jerk, whether it's human or not. So finally, we decided, "Hey, if we can't find a good group of nerds and geeks who actually aren't jerks, let's make one!"

By now, I've taken over server hosting. Raven's dropped her realm(because it's literally virtual crap), and I started a Minecraft server via MCProHosting about two years ago. And we've worked all year on this server.

The amazing seed is kudos to yours truly, Agent. I've recently had an amazing luck streak with randomly generated seeds, and about the middle of this year, I started a new world with the best seed(in my opinion) ever made. You spawn on a dull island with one tree. Wow. But not a hundred blocks away is a Mooshroom island, with a coral reef right off the shore, and an abandoned nether portal on a cove. Raven put the seed in a website, and found that every rare biome in Minecraft is under 1,000 blocks from spawn. Jungle, Mooshroom island, ice spikes; you name it, we got it.

The best builds on Spawn is kudos to Raven. She went for a solarpunk look, and boy howdy, she pulled it off. The reactor is the pinnacle of the builds, in my opinion. Around the island are random structures imported from Raven's build world, such as the farm, the hovering bee hives, etc. All buildings done are kudos to Raven. I just stood by and looked cool, or something. (Mainly I just trolled her; I don't see how she finished them all.)

The tech and storyline that is a mix of Minecraft and other games is kudos to us both. It's kind of a picture into the world we've made, and are still making.

So please, join us. Slap on your favorite avatar skin, grab your favorite walking stick, and join us, as we continue to build the best game ever.

(Oh my gosh that was cringy. Sorry. Remember that part about it's in the morning?)
