    Most of you guys have heard about the new hardware we are getting for this server.

    We are upgrading to some of the best server hardware available for MC Hosting. But all this came from nothing. Two years ago, Andrewkm started this server in his own house and eventually saved enough money to buy a dedicated server. I searched around the internet and found this historical thread made by Andrewkm himself back in April 2011. I hope players can spend some time to read this and see how much dedication it takes to achieve the level we are currently at.

    Wow this was a really good read. Especially the discussion towards the end between the hosting companies at the end. Though I'm still new to the server, thanks for posting this up dfat.

    Actually dfat
    The server went public in April 2011
    it was private for a while before.
    Michaelwm was the cause actually as he told Andy about it
    The servers history is really not all that well known.
    anyway i was one of the few who could play in the early days:D
    I don't know the entire list but it is rather small
