I like that this has turned into a thread about experiences in Herocraft
I remember before we brought Herocraft out officially, we played on 2 maps before-hand, and I had absolutely no fathomable idea of what the server would become. Our first private map was really gorgeous, it was a lush green biome with hints of sand around the land - this was when it was just Kainzo, Bosnic and myself. I remember having no idea what the 'objective' of minecraft was. I didn't understand the toolbox or how to make anything, even after Kainzo explained it to me several times. I eventually resorted to the wiki, until it came time to build a house. While I was digging a little staircase through to a future mineshaft, Kainzo was busy on the surface, building us a lovely wood house. I returned to the surface and was astonished. "How do you make a house?!?!" I asked. I had assumed you had to put blocks into the toolbox in the shape of a house and it would give you a pre-built one (haha)... Yes, I was really that much of a noob.
But after a week on that map, we decided to move on - our seed ended up being an entire map of only snow, which got old pretty fast. Not to mention, Bosnic's ex-friend (he ended up being a total douche) griefed the hell out of our castle and my floating up-side-down pyramid, so we hocked that map.
We decided that we really wanted to make the next map our live map, so we generated several until we found a spawn-area we really liked. We discussed with the 3 other people playing what we wanted to do with the map, and decided we liked the idea of a city where we had roads and plots for houses. So we brought the very fresh server live with only a pathway into the future city explaining the rules and our sweet Runecraft to keep us from going crazy and getting lost. We posted our SMP thread and immediately got a few people to join us. We terraformed a flat city with a huge lake and castle at the helm, and we began setting up plots. Kainzo claimed the castle as his "abode", and I claimed a small plot directly next to the castle and built my first ever
home in Minecraft.
And a castle that Alator built his Lands directly next to!
It was nice having neighbors.
We were at a point where the most people on at any given time would be 6, but we really wanted to increase our player-base, so we began more actively recruiting players. We had many 'incedents' on this map, such as Hannebal destroying half of the houses in one row of the town with a giant dirt placement (like Neo, but much smaller scale ;] ). But Kainzo and I decided we would like to hire more staff, so we brought on our very first moderator - Aiuax - who quit due to the massive issues in the game, and claimed he would come back during beta. While we did have many, many good times on the DH City Map, what with BuddahHoppers Super-Gay Throwdown hosting, bugged chickens stuck under the city and a large influx of new players, and we wanted to branch out on what our server was about, so we introduced player-run towns. So spawned many lovely cities such as Addanc, Mercury City, Duushdale, and Deepholme.

The Halloween update came and ruined everything, so we created the next map, Kingdom. This map is honestly a blur to me. I do recall that we still had Runecraft in, and I had a primary house in the side of a mountain and a room of probably around 25 teleporters for each of my houses in each town. But I do remembers some of the bigger names, like EIC, Sovereign Hollows, and a couple other towns. This was before anyone was allowed to know what kind of power the admin's held - we didn't want to ruin their innocence. We kept this map for several months, before moving on to Sanctum.
Oh sweet Sanctum. After we announced the map wipe, Kainzo, TheTXlibra, myself and a select other few worked tirelessly on the Sanctum Spawn tower - all done by hand! Most of you probably remember Sanctum like it was yesterday, but for those who don't, Sanctum was the main safehaven of the map. It was a ground-to-sky tower made originally of obsidian and glowstone. I'm sure anyone who played this map can attest to the joy of, after each death, running down the tower again
. Sanctum map did hold many exciting adventures, including the server's battle with hackers, griefers and thieves. There was a large gathering, for the first time, of evil players. And the Monarchy of Blasphemy was born. Now, Blasphemy players weren't all 'bad-seeds', like you may be thinking. Many of them were good players just wanting to have fun, but we had issues with many of them, and after their Combat Highlord was banned (After 5 chances, mind you), the Monarchy fell apart, and a new, sad excuse for a clone server was born from the ashes. We don't talk about that place here. But after many months of Sanctum fun, and sucking the land dry of resources, it was time to move on, once again.
If you haven't been here with us since October 1st, 2010, you can only imagine just how far we've come. But we're closing in on Herocraft's One Year Anniversary. It's a celebration bitches!
[Yes, I know I left out a lot, but too much has happened within the last year to recount all of it, but if you want to relive the fun of the past - before we moved to these forums, you can visit

TLDR - It's been a hell of a ride, LONG LIVE HEROCRAFT!!
but seriously i really need to work on my grammer maybe soon enough my knowledge of the vast vocabulary of the english languge will improve in a quite positive manner.
