Mythil Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/588452 How did you guise advertise in the beginning? I mean, all the players that did play are no basically gone, sooo I was wondering how ya'll actually started. Like the server's history. o 3o keywords: server history beginnings story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloudLogic Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 At the beginning of time God wanted to create a world known as Minecraft. He then made The Chunk Republic. People forever played on the server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabuf Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Cloud pretty much summed it up. I've never known a time where there weren't a normal group of players. This group has changed a hundred times--gaining and losing players, but we've never actually paid to advertise anywhere and have only posted twice to Minecraft Forum. We can certainly handle more players, but that just means a lot more work for me._. We've never welcomed drifters or anything less than serious players for a good reason: We're serious builders who care about our builds and don't like to waste time fooling around with grief. I'm sure Coaster could go a bit further back into the CreepyCreeper era. That's where we adopted our first player-base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoa Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Creepycreeper started a server a year and a half or so ago, and i was the first or second person on that server. That server advertised on the minecraft forums a lot, and usually always had 8-10 people on. However, around November/December of 2010, Creepycreeper decided to stop caring about the server, and it was pretty much 3 admins running it (myself included). After enough BS and waiting, i decided i was going to start my own server, which i was running from my local computer for a few weeks. Then Coastercraze told me that he would put my server on one of his servers (or buy a server, i can't remember). When coaster bought the server, he merged my server, and Wabuf's server together (pretty sure it was Wabufs). after the new server had started, we decided there would be 3 admins/owners (the three of us), and we still had a decent sized player base from the old server that Creepycreeper ran. After a while when we saw our player base dwindling, we decided to put an ad on the minecraft forum, which in return, caused more people to join, but also a lot of griefers, so we stopped advertising there. Sometime later, me and Wabuf made a youtube channel for our server (Multimanlp), and we made/make videos of the server, which is how most people currently find our server. The other way people join our server, is by recommendation from their friends who currently play our server. If anything seems badly worded, sorry, i just woke up. ._.

larsmanden94 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Well, alot of people heard about the server when Creepycreeper made a post on the forums, about digging out some underground city, and sure enough I joined (After all the digging was done, naturally) and brought a friend with me, and the city they built had a rich district with a really expensive house I wanted, and I got it in the end, but I digress...

Coastercraze Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Yup Zoa summed it up. Pretty much a merger of the Wabuf minecraft server and Broville. I definitely miss the underground Broville, the rich district, it was totally epic. Hell the original one before that was pretty cool with the sky town as well. We definitely need to revive those and put them into this new map! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcivils1 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 All this talk of an underground city and sky city, I agree with Coaster. Revive please, so that I may see this these wonders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liefdevolle Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I remember all of that. 'Twas the first Minecraft server I had ever been on. I believe the underground city was called Broville or something along those lines. What I remember most was the house I had by spawn that was destroyed countless times by griefers because I didn't want to build in city limits. Ah, the good ol' times.

Zoa Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 wait, Lief, you were in the original broville? why do i not remember this ._. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastercraze Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 wait, Lief, you were in the original broville? why do i not remember this ._. Yeah I remember he was in it too... I remember Rooster (who I know you hate) and Millerman were in it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larsmanden94 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 And the benevolent Midders... On another note, I just went to world5 on the server for nostalgic reasons... Any chance I can have my old property copied over? Definately didn't find my old diamond stash when I was there! It's definately lost, for all eternity!

wabuf Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Any chance I can have my old property copied over?Sure, I saw the fortress you, Jonasgrooss and Icfix had. Looks good to copy, except I'll have to change the diamond block outlining to Cyan Wool or something similar in color or texture. Chests will be initialized when copied, as well. Just scout for a good place and let me know where you want it next time we meet up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrankisDank Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 R.I.P. BroCraft. Oh and just to set this straight, CreepyCreeper did pay for advertisements at one point on some smartphone app. It was funny because just a few months ago someone joined the server saying they saw an ad on their I-phone...

CloudLogic Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Since Coaster said it would be alright... http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/969 ... build-wip/ Sort of advertisement.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liefdevolle Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 wait, Lief, you were in the original broville? why do i not remember this ._.Indeed I was. I ran into you a few times, though I doubt you would remember as such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
