So, I was curious... how did you find this server? See us somewhere on The Escapist? A friend? LRR? Some other forum? Or a strange confluence of seemingly random events lead you here?

I founded the server with GravyTrain.

What do I win? :?

I honestly can't remember, so I'm going to say I came with the server.

i was watching an episode of zero punctuation when something caught my eye, minecraft appreciation club. at the time i was looking for a new server to play on because my old server had been wiped. and that is how i came to join these forums.

I searched "Mature Minecraft Server" in google and escapecraft was the second link.

The Escapist Team Fortress 2 user group had an announcement with a link to the group. Followed the link, and loved it.

I found the Old Escapia server via the LoadingReadyRun podcast. Apparently, at least one of the LRR crew plays on our server, though I'm not sure what that person's username is.

I read the original thread made by the original group founder and server host Terkaal. I'd played with Minecraft a little before, but not much since I didn't know what to do.

I tried Minecraft before he (the creator, Notch i think) made the survival part of it (Minecraft classic i think it's called now) with some friends, but that was only for a week or two.

Then the same friend who showed me classic show me the Alpha version, a good three months ago now.
A couple of weeks later i bougth it, a week later or so he told me about the escapist server, since then i've been playing on it.

I was introduced to the server by Lathania. I immediately found it to be a lot more friendly and organised than the others I'd been on, and so I decided to stay~

When Assault Banhammers are used to full effect, the survivors tend to be much nicer.

Got hooked on minecraft when it was in...infdev I believe. I left it, came back when alpa was released for the multiplayer, saw that we had an Escapist usergroup up, jumped in. Haven't left since O . O

Is "assualt banhammer" a reference to dawn of war by any chance? i loved the first one and the expansions.

There was a post about the usergroup in one of the other usergroups on the Escapist (I think it was the TF2 usergroup), but that was before I had Minecraft.
Later I purchased Minecraft and joined the usergroup.

Well, I heard about it on a usergroup this one website called The Escapist. You might have heard of it.

Sort of, though the Warhammer 40k weapon you're thinking of is a Thunder Hammer. FOR THE EMPRAH!!!

Yeah not long after i bought Minecraft and was bored of single player, i had to check out the Multiplayer. I already knew about the news and hype from the Escapist, so i went to check if there was a group for it and if they had there own server.

Looks like i lucked out :D

I found the user group before I had Alpha, and I eventually decided to get Alpha and play with you guys.

I found the group from remembering that there was a MineCraft group, got MineCraft, and immediately started playing on the server.

Hilarity ensued when I had no idea how to make a crafting bench.

I did a search on Google for "best minecraft server"

Found a forum (it might have been Escapist) talking about this server. Sure, maybe they were biased... but I've tried a lot of other servers, and it truly is the BEST!
