Hi, First off if the post is too long im sorry and warning there are tons of words in here if you dont like reading tons of words. Well Im kinda curious what has brought you to minecraft because well, its kinda interesting. It would be kinda cool what brought you to minecraft and to famcraft. Sorry if my story is boring but here it goes... It all starts a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, No thats not it... ah yes... Two years ago I used to play xbox alot ya-da ya-da ya-da i dont want to bore you with the prologue or epilogue whichever starts a story. well i had this friend named Peter (Xbox friend, i am not a very popular) me and Peter would always say and i quote "Dude you should really try minecraft on the Xbox it is amazing" I, like a dummy always said "No i dont want to try that game because it has terrible graphics" (I was that kid at the time, yes) and i would always make excuses not to buy the game (I was younger at the time btw), untill one day i got tired of playing my other games and i decided i would try this "Amazing" game (It is Truly amazing btw because you totally havent played this game before). So i got the game and Peter invited me to his world, and i was astonished at how amazing this game actually was (This game was the best thing that ever happened to me). So yea he hands me my first block ever, TNT, weird right? so then i say whats this for? (I realize how bad of a question that was) Then he replies with a facepalm saying It Blows blocks up. At the time he was telling me how to mine and place but not minecraft basics like wood, tools and things. Then after he told me how to mine and place things he showed me how to craft it and a furnace... He said that the furnace was the key to getting infinite items, which i later found out that he was showing me how to duplicate items. Then, like most people might do if they were younger like i was, I abused the duplicating glitch everytime i played minecraft on the xbox. So then after he showed me how to duplicate items he said "lemme show you the basics of minecraft" He told me to make a world, i did so and I spawned near a epically big ocean and a forest biome. He said that you get wood by punching trees and he told me to go get some. So then he tells me how to make wood planks from wood blocks. Then how to make a house. When he tells me to go get wood for a house i overestimated how much wood i needed for a house and chopped down a forest with my bare fist (I remember it took my over 45 minutes) i never even got bored of it weirdly. I facepalmed so much after he showed me how to make tools a hour later it seemed like. Back to the house story, when i got back to the little shelter that he constructed which was so cool looking at the time and I estimate that i gathered an inventory worth of wood. when we started talking about how to make a house in minecraft i thought there was a house-block or something but no, you could use blocks to make your own house which was rather amazing to me (Keep in mind that i was what you might call a "noob" at the time and i admit it XD). So i decided i would make my house on the lake that seemed endless to me, and boy was my house massive jeez i think it stretch 30 by 30 blocks long and 15 blocks high. so i kept that world for a long time. he showed me everything else about minecraft like diamonds and things. enough about that and on to another major point in my minecraft history and if it is long already i doubt it could get double the link it already is now. So yea after i kinda played that world for a while i thought i might make another one (this was a week or two after i got the game) I spawned in a snowy taiga biome and thought i should make a castle. i did so and it was the biggest and most time consuming build project i have ever worked on besides the feeding famcraft project which kinda stopped saddly D: D:. either way this castle took to my guess 10 hours to build, might be over-guessed but im sticking with it. i fit a massive city in there which is about half the size of Miss Ghouls's carnival inside of it. I constructed fences in such case that mobs or herobrine would invade, it never happened. but, there was something that did happen to it... tune in next time to find out... no your gonna hear about it now. it was a GRIEFER none other than the person who showed me how to play minecraft, peter, he blew up a hole in my castle, took my diamonds and burned all the houses down and killed everyone who was online at the time and took all of us captive (yes thats what happened no joke). but then i kinda never knew how to kick people from your server so i had to deal with it. i had to delete the world for ever saddly. move on about 10 months shall we? well in that time frame i made world after world. so then 10 moths later i got minecraft for the computer version on December 21st 2012 aka my brithday (i doubt that any of yall would find me so... yea) and i started up my first PC world which was a memorable one... i really wanted to spawn near a jungle biome so i could build a treehouse (At the time i was a massive fan of CaptainSparklez on Youtube which explains that) so my first world happens that i spawn in a village near a jungle. wow i felt very lucky to spawn there... i died 7 times in the first night and yes im not embarrassed to say that. i actually built a treehouse in that world with jungle wood and stuff. so then i kept that world untill i killed the Enderdragon and wither. At least i can be proud of something. then after like a month i finally realized there was multiplayer and joined famcraft for the first time. thats my story if you stuck around to see it and yea... im curious what yalls stories are. i cant believe it took my a hour to write this. Im Very very very sorry if this is not the recomendeed length for a forum post. and i know my grammar is bad. yea thats it i hope yall enjoyed my story... join me next time on storytime with Turkey, bye bye

The title should be more like what brought u to play Minecraft... but whatever
So my friend's friend showed my friend Minecraft, then my friend (I cant say his name because he is banned from this server) introduced me to Minecraft. He said "Hey check out Minecraft its really cool" and then i was like "lolwut? Starcraft?" so i started playing it after i found out that minecraft was about building (yes i have loved playing with lego pieces and other construction toys since i was young) but my parents would not let me buy it because i was already playing like 5 other video games every day. So what i would do was download a cracked client and play singleplayer on it. (I did not know there were cracked servers at that time) I made some awesome stuff (my first ever world is still on my computer) and i really wanted to buy this game. I decided to give up ALL my other video games and buy minecraft instead. That was March of 2013. For the next few months, i mostly played hunger games but it got boring after i realized that i'm not very good at pvp and its basically luck. Then the same friend of mine who introduced me to minecraft showed me famcraft on May 2013, 2 months after i bought minecraft. I was still kinda noobish at the time. When i joined, RubensCherub gave me an awesome tour. I went to one of the random gates and started surviving, but i forgot to set home there and everything that i had was gone. I was heavily dissapointed and decided to take a break from minecraft. I came back to Famcraft/Minecraft on August. I made a lot of progress from there, now i am a multi-millionaire and my possesions are enough to fill about 20 double chests. I also have started a clan recently to help people in need of community and resources. I'm planning to have all the services that other big clans have, like all sorts of spawners/grinders/farm/town/ This is gonna be my biggest project yet and its gonna be fun ;)

December of 2011 I would have been in my sophomore year of high school, and Minecraft was on 1.2.5. My friend, Tony, introduced Minecraft to me. I didn't have enough money to buy it back then, so I had to use a proxy. He told me it was completely legal, but I think he was lying to get me to download it xD. Anyway, so that's how I started playing it. Afterwards, I couldn't stop playing it. I would play with Tony and some of our friends on his private server. We would do PvP worlds or cooperative worlds, and it was very fun. I continued even after I lost regular contact with him.
I actually hadn't played on a legitimate server until Cody introduced me to FamCraft in September of 2013. By that point, the proxy I had been using had been down for quite some time, and I was using a friends account. So, on September 28th, 2013, I logged on to FamCraft with fugitive105. Cody invited me to TCoEA and made me leader immediately.
After a month or so, I wanted my own account so that my friend could log on to FamCraft. Also, I wanted to use mathfreak2 for my IRC name, so I finally bought my own account on November 4th, 2013. A month and half later (Around December 20th) I was asked to become a helper. Then, around March 20th, I was promoted to JrMod. And there's my story. I hope yall enjoy it! ^^ :P

No way, lol. PvP is anything but luck. I love it because of how much skill you have to have to beat the best of the best. Favorite part of Minecraft is PvP for me... :P
(I cant say his name because he is banned from this server)
I stand corrected. Thanks Anna <3

I think he handled it nicely by not mentioning the banned pkayer's name. No need to stir up drama or questions. I think it was thoughtful of him and respectful to the player who was banned as well as the forum members who appreciate the drama-free environment here. <3

Of course that your favorite part Chris... (He nearly always wins xD)
ill be posting my story on here later... and i can garuntee that that Jordan will too... after I yell at him at least :P or maybe eat him...

Well my friends kept talking about minecraft like a few months ago (they still are) and i got quite annoyed as i couldn't join in with their conversations since i didn't know anything about it. After a while I couldn't bear it anymore so i just asked my dad for it. At first he said no because he thought it would install a virus (even though we have Mcaffee) but adpfter a few days of non-stop asking he said 'fine... How much is it?' and bought it for me. I played a few survival worlds but i didn't like them as I wanted to play with people. Thus I asked my friend for a good server to play on. I enjoyed playing on there as i made friends but after a few months I started being bullied and griefed by this guy. I knew something had to be done so I looked for a new server that was family friendly and i fell in to you

That a long post

That a long post
You just said that :I

Can we get back to the topic?

My journey started when I looked up dynamite. I saw a parody called tnt. It said it was a minecraft parody. So after listening to it I looked it up. When I got minecraft, I played only single player. Then I decided to find multiplayer servers. When I found Famcraft I didn't know that you were supposed to read the rules. I got banned for 3 days. When I got back on, I went through a random portal that leads to an island and I built my tower. Then I went on from there, building my empire.

I learned about Minecraft from my older brother (who basically shows me EVERYTHING I play lol)
This was back around Beta 1.4-1.5 ish. I played Singleplayer on his account for a long time, before asking my parents for my own :)
-
I started up in minecraft after my brother showed it to me. I shared his account for a while, then bought my own. Except that at the time, I was running it on a pathetically slow netbook, and didn't particularly enjoy it. This was around beta 1.2. Then after a year of not playing because my computer was too slow, I built my next rig with enough power to run it. I kept that going until last March, when I built my current beastly overpowered rig.
tl;dr I started at beta 1.2 but my computer was too slow

I hear ya with the netbook. I used to have one, and I was literally getting a constant 0 fps on Famcraft when I logged in with it. I would not recommend anyone get a netbook if they want to use it for things other than text editors and maybe the occasional browser.
-
So my Minecraft adventures started with my friend's account (he let me borrow it for a while. how nice of him <3) Then it was time to give it up so I did. 4 months of Minecraft parodies, skits and lets-plays go by then I finally earn money and buy Minecraft (around 1.7.4-ish) I played singleplayer for about 3-4 weeks with constant control adjusting with the use and attack buttons. But I quit for a few days due to my anger of the 1fps lag... Later, I discovered a button called Multiplayer (of course! :P) so I go online, searched for some servers and found one that was hosted by my favorite YouTuber. I played a few months of it, then let it go. Same routines until version 1.7.9-ish then found Famcraft. And I wouldn't have all of these awesome friends if I haven't.

my friend told me about PE MC so i tryed it them evenualy got PC. So one day right before christmas in 2012 i was looking for a server all i found where boring untill i found famcraft i got a nice big welcome (thinking i would get bored of it) and was toured by Wild_Chris anna thoat and Wild_chris where still SR.

*sits down in front of peoplez
So... here is my story...
Many months ago (almost a year now), my friends were having a very intense conversation about minecraft. I wasn't very happy that I was clueless to what they were saying, so I asked my parents: 'Can I pleeeaaase get Minecraft? Pleeeaaase?' xD. They finaly fell prey to my nagging, and I got minecraft. I used the name 'shade_slayer01' cuz I LOVED the Eragon book series :P . When I got to play, it was... interesting. I just kinda tried to figure out the controls while exploring my little taiga biome. I dug a little tunnel, and slowly expanded it, until it was a large temple and I knew the basics of minecraft. It took about 2 weeks. This world was in creative btw :P . I went to youtube, and I learned a TON of stuff. I descovedred the command block, had some fun with that, then I got bored. I hadn't tried survival yet, so I started a world up. It was a pretty average world with a couple mountains near spawn. I spent 4 months on that world alone. I had fallen in love with minecraft. By the end of this time, I had done a LOT. I had a HUGE castle, about the sizes of the spawn village. It was filled with farms and villages. I decided I should a little fun with the world, but, let's just say I spoiled the world with /gamemode creative. I was mad at myself, so I went to google. I looked up 'top ten family friendly minecraft servers'. I found famcraft. It was a little confusing, so many people talking at one time, and I didn't take the tour (I didn't know there was one). So I was a little clueless about the server :P . I accidentily griefed someones house, and I got 'staffed' by (can't say his name). I was REALLY sorry about what happened, and I just kinda laid low for a while. I slowly came out of my shell, and really became part of the community :) . And that's how I got here. Sorry the story was so long, it might have been longer then hicks' :o .
Hope you enjoyed it :) -Eragon
