I was thinking yesterday, about my time on PCB and minecraft. I’ve been on this server for over a year now, seeing the community grow and change, from classic, to alpha, to 1.7 beta, and now.
I think we may have a similar thread to this already, but I am interested to know people’s early minecraft and PCB experiences.
These are mine anyway
I started playing minecraft after downloading torrents for indev, not having a clue what it was about, or what the latest version was at the time etc. I then realised it was in infdev, after getting annoyed that I couldn’t make a door for my home built into a mountain in the corner of my grassy world cube.
Anyone else remember the world generation options? Where you could choose whether to be walled in or not, if it was a floating island, or a hell and lava dimension xD
I suddenly realised that the wom client was for classic, and multiplayer after being disappointed I couldn’t fly in indev and infdev. I found the server list and one caught my eye ‘Project City Build [24-7]’ I joined, walked around guestcity for a while in awe of some of the awesome stuff, then started work recreating a pub that I had just finished building in a coastal resort in infdev xD
Fatso was the first person I spoke to, as he just appeared and made the walls for me with /z. He was only builder at the time xD I worked my way through the ranks to Op, thanks to and hardly ever saw Andy online.
Then there came the problem with classic, and Andy deciding not to host it any more. But as me and fatso didn’t have alpha at the time, we took it on, (well, fatso mostly xD).
During this time many of the Op’s we know now joined. Ouhai was quite the noob at one point, but made a pretty cool underwater base thingy at one point, and a library I believe? Vaio too, but I can’t remember any of her builds… sorry.
Then PCB Alpha was announced! And everyone gradually disappeared from classic…
After re-contacting a friend that I knew through the school ‘Rock Club’, and seeing he liked minecraft from his facebook picture with a creeper photoshopped in behind him, he sent me a gift code
1.7 beta was when I appeared on beta PCB, once again starting with a pub in ‘Hilltop Avenue’
They are the main memorable points for me, until I noticed when browsing the forums on holiday in America that the writing under my name on a post I made said Senior Op. :o I wasn’t sure if this was a forum glitch at first, but after making a post in the admin section of the forums asking if I should be able to view it, I was told I was SOp
And that’s about it from me I think. I can already tell many people will see this and think… Wall of text… fuck that… O_o
Anyway. NEXT STORY! GO GO GO!
