OG Minecrafters. What's your best memory from Minecraft?

I used to play on a server called New Spawn.

Every week the Sporn point would move to a random location in the world and would all build a new city at that spot.

Some players would build pathways connecting to previous spores or settlements to make it easier for people to find their old bases again.

At one point, me and a few other players decided to go off on our own and build a secret

underground city, which we called Euskos, or the underground secret city of secretness.

We spent an entire day carving out a massive hollow chamber underground and then spent a few

days settling in with powered lighting

in the ceiling, trees, farms, houses, stuff like that. It was a beautiful city and it was our secret.

Then the server shut down unexpectedly shortly after that and I never found those guys again.

Okay, late update. A friendly user has recreated new spawn because of this comment. Wow.

Running a server with my best friend, it was great until he joined an experienced build team and I started experimenting with making mods.

So our playstiles kind of drifted apart. We ran for about five years.

It kind of also shaped our futures. He's studying architecture, and I'm in IT.

Proof that video games are beneficial. I knew nothing about Minecraft at all. I'd only heard about it.

My five-year-old daughter wanted to try it, so I got it for her. I thought it was just a building game,

and I didn't know there were enemies and that you could die.

That first hour of it getting dark and frantically trying to build walls, only to learn that they

can spawn anywhere in the dark and were now inside my base, it was crazy.

Building maps, uploading them, and having a thousand or more people download them and leave

nice comments.

About nine years ago, my best friend and I would race home from school just to play Minecraft together as much as we could.
