I got whitelisted on december 31st I believe. I never really realized until a month or so ago how soon after that map wipe I had joined the server, you definately couldn't tell the map had recently been wiped, or at least I couldn't. Everything seemed so developed, like it had been there for a while.
My first "house" was in a small sand hill just a couple hundred blocks SW of Fiore, I remember stumbling upon Fiore and immediately running away fearing I would be attacked if I got any closer lol. Not to long after that when I had just gotten back from spawn I was killed. I can't be certain but if my memory serves me right I think it was you amgroma lol, you looked for my chest to rob me but you only ever found the dummy chest
.
A bit after that I saw an ad for Madlum and decided to go take a look at the town. My first thoughts were damn this tunnel is long lol, to those who remember travelling through the madlum tunnel. I ended up joining Madlum and not long after the "Madlum War" broke out over one person killing another person. While I never really took part in the fighting I did help remove the first NATO fortress. It was funny when Applelove went and massacred everyone in the original NATO fortress. Those were some good times, everyone in Madlum was confused and angry about being blocaded for no apparent reason lol. It was just after that war that I convinced Farroes to start playing /join the server.
I've had many good times, I remember being at my sanctum house and seeing giant Zombies all over sanctum and thinking WTF???? lol, I haven't been as involved with the community as I would like, but I still feel like a part of the Herocraft family.
We've lost many good people in the community for a variety of reasons, and we've gained many good people as well, but we still remember all those who are no longer a part of the community for one reason or another. At the end of the day we will always have nostalgic moments like we have now, but the past is the past, cherish the memory but move forward and forge new memories.
Amgroma you've been a big part of the community in many ways, you've left you're mark and will not soon be forgotten. Have fun with whatever you choose to do just remember to check in once in a while
