As much as I was looking forward to playing on this server, two other servers have already extended a warm welcome for me to play with them.  I just wanted to update you instead of just leaving this thread hanging.  Maybe we can all play together some day in the minecraft future! :)  Thanks again and best of luck to all!

Ok I didn't really have to rebuild my computer.  But you know how it is to lose something you've been typing!  Anyways :D 

 

Thanks for the warm welcome Zellcos!  The way you describe this server and the people sounds exactly like what I have been looking for!  And no worries if everyone gets a little quiet sometimes ... when you have your head buried in the sand sometimes you just get lost in your own little world. 

 

So to your question about what got me into minecraft... I have played many MMOs and other types of games.  and I know how to crochet too ... BUT my friends who play are the ones that got me into this game.  I finally downloaded it and joined their vanilla server.  I had no idea what to expect and I died the first night.  "This game is so dumb and I don't even know what I'm supposed to be doing!"  That was my reaction!  I found paulsauresjr's survive and thrive series ... and I was hooked.  I loved that there was so much to do!  or not do if you didn't want to!  I keep coming back to this game because it's so carefree.  I am not in a rush to reach a level cap ... I can do whatever I want.  And I just think that is such a nice approach. 

 

I don't have many hobbies.  I like to play games, sing, and hang out with the fam.  One reason I look forward to recording my gameplay either for youtube or twitch is that I really like messing with the editing aspect.  I think it would be a fun addition to my regular playtime.  If you get bored and want to check it out, I did a quick stream mainly to make sure all my stuff was working etc.  So I wouldn't recommend watching the entire thing but if you just wanted to take a peek then feel free.  Keep in mind I was mainly my only viewer so I didn't do anything to exciting LOL.  Just visit www.twitch.tv/bellanore/profile/pastBroadcasts   I promise I'm not trying to get free advertising and if I were then this is not the footage I would prefer  you see first.  LOL  But I know part of the app process is getting to know each other and what better way than to spy on me? :) 

 

Tea or coffee?  Well let's be honest ... I have coffee in the morning and my tea preference is Iced Sweet Tea.  I'm from Arkansas after all! 

 

What about you, Zellcos?  What's your story?

I'm so sad I lost an entire book I was typing in reply to you Zellcos.  The link interface got stuck and I couldn't get back to my post at all!  it's really too bad it doesn't save a draft!  Well I will retype it in a few minutes after I get finished throwing my computer out the window and then putting it all back together!  :)

Hey Morf.  Well my server story is a little long but here goes!  My buddy was the original server host.  It was just plain as plain vanilla can be.  He doesn't like to do mods.  But friend interest died out and he closed the server.  So a few months later I decided to "pick up the torch" (haha) and start a server and invite all of the to play.  I used a few bukkit mods, mcmmo, gravestone, worldedit, and a few other things.  The only thing that really changed their personal gameplay up was the mcmmo and they were all really enjoying it.  Even the guy who didn't like mods gave me the go ahead to mod the server as much or as little as he wanted and he said he would be glad to play.  SO I was super excited that everyone was having a good time and I decided to switch over to the Attack of the B Team mudpack.  As you may know, this is a pretty huge change.  Half of us were excited about adding new things to minecraft.  Half weren't.  And it was only a couple of weeks before I was the only one logging in.  So frustrating!  I decided fine, you want vanilla then here you go.  They still aren't playing.  I still have the server but it's 0/40 the majority of the time.

 

If I'm being perfectly honest, I haven't really uncovered my building potential!  I start with a cute little house to store all my goods and then I'm usually off helping someone else do something and I just honestly haven't ever built anything super spectacular.  I would like to expand that though and observe some other builds and just learn to make things a little more detailed and grand.

 

And I completely agree with you about people not taking things seriously!  I know "it's just a game" but when you devote a lot of your "hobby time" to minecraft it would be SO much more enjoyable with nice people.

 

Thanks for reading my post Morf.  :)
