Farewell everyone we all had good times on this server i will miss you all if anyone has a server i can join <br><br>well im going to go cry for a decade <img src="./images/smilies/icon_cry.gif" alt="" title="Crying or Very Sad">

This kinda feels like the end of an era....i remember my friends and i getting off school so excited to play the server and meet all my online friends (even though most disliked me and for good reason) but damn, the only reason i found out about this was cause mcman messaged me about the shut down while i was on skype to my friends and if im being totally honest i got really sad but of course i couldn't say it was over minecraft sever, so thanks everyone for making my minecraft years memorable and welcoming me into such a great community even though i dont talk to any of you guys unfortunately but if anyone would like to try and reconnect hit me up on snapchat- david3023 <br><br><br>Thanks for the great memories i miss you guys

I found McTopia on a server list, on December 30th, 2013. It sounds like a long time ago to write it like that, but it was recent enough that I spent a large chunk of my time on McTopia feeling like a new player. I wasn’t sure if I should write anything for this section. I left McTopia in a conscious decision - it was too addicting, too powerful, and I couldn’t balance it with my schoolwork. <br><br>My earliest memory of McTopia was Eva’s math homework. While I’ve long forgotten the details, the discussion of Eva’s math homework is the first conversation I remember being involved in. The server grew on me fast, and the people grew on me fast, and I’ve never encountered a community quite like it. So, to a few people: Eva, Chaos, Slurpie, MattJTV, Qu3sti0nmark, Chall, and DragonKilla, you guys made McTopia what it was to me. <br><br>Jamourous - I’ve always envied your imagination and drive, for better or worse. You stuck to your values and consistently brightened everyone’s day and the rest of us can only aspire to reach where you are. Keep at it.<br><br>Drew - Of all the people I knew on McTopia, you changed the most. Good luck with uni.<br><br>Bridget - I hereby name you queen of the drama chart. I promise I have the authority to do this. I met you late. Too late. But we became friends anyhow and I wish you luck with life.<br><br>Josh (BK) - I always respected you, if not some of your actions, and I wish I had been brave enough to talk to you then.<br><br>Inspiron - I realize it’s become the format to address you last, and address you as Alex, but I never really got to know you. That having been said, your server was the center of all this, and I owe you for that.<br><br>Tobi - Hey Tobes. Thanks for changing my google docs to comic sans. I really appreciate it. That said, it’s been two years of graph paper notebooks and school and boys and life and whiteboards, and I’m glad you’ve been there for all of it. I have to admit, when we first discussed going to college together or meeting up somewhere we were freshman and while it was fun, I didn’t believe in it then. And now it’s junior year and it’s just been a really long stretch hasn’t it? We’ve had our fights, but I’d like to think we learn from them. If nothing else comes from it, we’ve always got the memories, flowcharts from freshman year, the notebooks, the drama chart, the bra-giving cello, and better taste in music. <br><br>Chris - I haven’t always been as great of a friend to you as I should have been, but I feel like we’ve mostly moved on from that. That said, you’ve always been a great friend to me, and always managed to keep your head screwed on straight while the rest of us were caught up in drama, and I really do appreciate both that and your sense of humor.<br><br>Addendum: I’ve added the drama chart and it’s a bit of mess and not complete. It’s comprised of first and second hand accounts, so accuracy is also in questionable supply. That said, I believe it’s the most complete version I have, intended to represent changes in relationships. I’m sorry about the similar colors used for some types of relationships as well, but I’m a bit too busy to remake the chart.<br><br><img class="img-responsive" src="http://i.imgur.com/lkUgfYF.png" alt="Image">

There's not much I can say that hasn't already been said. Those that know me know how hard it is for me to communicate my thoughts so all I'll say is thank you for the memories. This one last thread itself is a testimony to what the server was, and how it affected everyone. I wish I could go back and relive those moments, both the good and the bad, but such is life. <br><br>Thank you for all your lost loot, thank you for all your scheming, thank you for all our late night chats, thank you for all my bans (they were well deserved). Thank you for all the drama, thank you for all the sleepless nights, thank you for being there when I needed you most, thank you for all the times I got so angry I had to cool off outside. <br><br>You, yes <span style="font-style: italic">you,</span> McTopian, you're special. You're part of a community that will live in all our memories for a long time to come. <br><br>Thank you. <span style="font-style: italic">Thank you,</span> for the memories. <br><br>- BKreitz<br>Hit me up on Skype at BKreitzMC. I'd love to chat up old times or just hang out.<br><br>Here are some snapshots I laughed at looking back through.

Hello everyone,<br><br>It is tough writing this because over the years I have imagined you as a sort of second family and the server a home away from home. Over the past 5 years I have met hundreds of different individuals, even seen that many leave as well, but each have a special place in my heart. Everyone here was once a part of our special community, and for that I am extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to share special moments through either the server or on Skype.<br>However now is the time to say goodbye to the platform that brought us together, however that doesn’t mean that we have to say goodbye to the friendships that we have made along the way. McTopia was an opportunity to meet new people that we wouldn’t have otherwise and has given us a chance to form bonds that can last the test of time.<br>On my journey I have met a few stand out figures that I would like to pay my respects to for moulding me into the person I am.<br><br>Chris, you were one of the first few people on this server I can remember, you are a great guy who doesn’t fall for what he doesn’t believe in. Also sorry for stealing your town’s bread : P.<br><br>Robby, the thing I admire about you the most is you never gave up, even after you town got destroyed over 3 times by a software glitch you never gave up, you continued to work hard and push yourself to make your town the best and it sure does show.<br><br>Josh (BK), thanks for being there for me and introducing me to the world of code, you lead me to my calling which I am now studying in University, and I thank you for that.<br><br>Matt, you always amazed me with your redstone contraptions and inspired me to give it a go, trollwire represent.<br><br>Tobi, you are an outstanding individual and I miss the times when we used to be in touch, stay strong pre-legal beagle.<br><br>Taylor, damn girl, look at all des hookups mayn<br><br>Jack, I admire you for following your dreams, you never once stopped thinking about planes throughout your entire experience on this server. Stay strong and aim for the sky.<br><br>Josh (Skulz), please don’t steal your mom's credit card <img src="./images/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink">.<br><br>Cori, I never knew the effects the server had on you, I wish I could make it up to you but the amount of damage I had on your life is too much, from the bottom of my heart I am sorry. No one judges you for leaving, if it was what made you happy I completely understand your motives. Good luck with life and with mathematics.<br><br>Finally Alex, thank you for creating this server and keeping it up for as long as you did, follow your dreams and I wish you the best in College. Sorry that I quit, I felt like I was ruining peoples lives more than helping them, and for my own sanity I left so that I couldn't hurt anyone again.<br><br>Thank you everyone for having an everlasting effect on my life, you guys are my hero’s and I wish only the best for you moving on. Jack said I was the King of McTopia, however I believe that is not true, the king provides the kingdom and the platform which is Alex. However everyone here are the knights, you kept this server going for so long and mostly had a positive effect on others.<br><br>Thank you so much everyone for the memories, enjoy your lives and please try keep in contact, you guy are awesome and I won’t let the bonds McTopia has let us have go to waste.<br><br>Andrew &lt;3.

For those who want to talk, be sure to message me first before you add. This will be my only way of really communicating with anyone, I will miss you all.<br><br>Steam - <a href="http://steamcommunity.com/ArkanJosh" class="postlink">Aekrion</a><br><br>Skype - tehasiankidzhere (Cringe Worthy) <br><br>Instagram - <a href="http://instagram.com/arvk_" class="postlink">arvk_</a><br><br>Facebook - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ThtLaotion" class="postlink">Joshua Phimmachack</a><br><br>Email - <!-- e --><a href="mailto:joshua.phimmachack@gmail.com">joshua.phimmachack@gmail.com</a><!-- e -->

To all - I remember joining on April 6th of 2012, soon after the events of something that was not only troubling to myself, but also to my family. I was one of those stereotypical new players at the time I've joined. I caused mayhem, partially ruined my reputation, and was overall a complete trouble maker. From that point on, I had a lot to learn from.<br><br>I transitioned from Trusted - VIP Gold - SuperDonor. <br><br>Anyways, throughout my past experiences, I've met a ton of great people. The rest of you know who you are, there are a ton I could list but it wouldn't be as fair to those that aren't, sort of reasonable. You guys have also changed my life and helped me become someone I never once thought I would, thanks to you and your great influences. I'm proud of the person I have become as I have found myself to be stronger and somewhat inspirational to many others, none of this would have happened without the rest of you. I'm proud to have read, The many team names and nicknames we've had over the course of time. ( The Homies, McTopians, Team Beez, Team Bleez) Cringey but worth mentioning xD. You guys will always be a big part of me as you guys are my family, though McTopia has been closed, it is far from over. <br><br>McTopia was my home away from home, there would be times where I would log in everyday whenever and sometimes pass up homework just to keep playing to only stay with you guys, the players. It will be sort of hard to move from that, since our servers fate is sealed. This tells all of us to pick up and move on, like many others have already. I'm proud to have read of the current posts of today and yesterday, I'm glad to have seen that you guys at least care enough to have come back one last time to post of your experiences. <br><br>I'm sorry if it may seem that pieces of what I said somewhat leaned to other places or seemed irrelevant. I was thinking at the top of my head. Truthfully, I'm sad to have seen McTopia die/go, but being with the rest of you was what made it alive. <br><br>To Alex - Though there is not much I can say about what I've heard and just seen, I want to thank you for the sacrifices you have made for myself, as long as many others, and the server itself. You were the creation of what was once a great community and have seen your players grow throughout the time we have been on. Being a part of the server changed and impacted me tremendously, I'm glad I have, otherwise I would have done things that would have been much worse. I remember the times I've had the chance to talk to you on Skype, it actually helped me see more of the person I've respected and somewhat looked up to whenever it came to bringing people in together. McTopia has been a big part of me and I'm sure it has been for everyone. One thing I will always remember is the time I went from a total baddie, back when I first joined, to someone that became someone that was actually better. You have changed many lives Alex, though it may seem unlikely, it is the truth. I hope this decision of yours get you to places higher than where you intend, you truly deserve it. This comes from me to you, no words can be expressed if it comes from just a forum post rather than it being direct. I wish you the best, I hope to talk to you soon.<br><br>This was the first and last REAL server I've been on, nothing will ever take that spot. <br><br>Farewell, <br>Josh. (Draguhn)

Hello McTopians! I decided to look at the website of McTopia today and have seen that the server has shut down, but it wasn't a sad experience. I wasn't happy it shut down either, but it is the only appropriate step in the process.<br><br>I, like many other human beings that have experienced McTopia, have had some of my best memories on this server. This server is, or was, hands down the greatest Minecraft server or any server I have ever played on. I joined for the first time around the summer of 2011 with two of my buddies at the time, and quickly started to build a rapport on the server. I got busy with school and my social life a lot throughout the 5 years, but I always came back.<br><br>I was 11 or 12 at my friend Zach's house when I looked up Minecraft servers on Google, found Minecraft server list, and saw McTopia listed. I texted my other friend David the IP of the server (inspironwins.dyndns.tv), and we all started to explore. I remember quite well the deathly spawn at the time, which will always be my favorite. You would leave the spawn area and instantly get killed by one of the hardcore PVPers on the server with full diamond armor, ready to slash off the necks of the new players -- but I kept going and eventually build a huge fort with my friends. We had an underground cave at first, and near it we build 3 houses that got absolutely destroyed, but we still kept going -- or I did at least. This server was special though, and I thought it was due to the gameplay, but it wasn't. I tried once or twice to sort of replicate the experience on my own hardware, but it didn't work. What has always made this server special wasn't the gameplay, but the interconnected community that developed.<br><br>Before I joined McTopia, I was a fairly awkward child. I didn't really understand how to interact with new people very well, and all of my friends were my friend because they either came to me or met them through other friends -- which I didn't have very much of. McTopia has always had one of the most beautiful chat formats in my mind, which caused me to start using it a lot. After a while, I actually started having conversations with people, laughing with people, and experiencing the survival aspect of the game with people. It started chipping away the shell I've always enclosed myself at, and made me finally see through the crack of the shell enough to realize I can completely break it. It took a while to master, but to this day I have been able to make so many friends, and I attribute that part of me to the McTopia that we all have known and loved.<br><br>So we're at this point now: closure. Most of us joined this server in our prepubescent or adolescent stage of life, where cute, blocky sandbox games were the best thing ever. The simple sounds of cows mooing, breaking grass blocks, and placing stone stimulated my brain, and got me pretty addicted. Although there are many adults who play the game, most of us are now at a part of our lives where we have college, or high school. We are getting jobs, we are having serious relationships, and having a lot more to worry about than what we had to worry about at the age of 12, which is pretty much nothing. The awe of Minecraft, at least in my mind, has shrunk a lot since I went to high school and the game started appealing to kids more and more. As stated in the title, I do not plan on playing the game for a very long time, because the appeal of it has gone down. But it will always have a special place in my brain. I will always have vivid, happy memories of the game, but much more important, have the memories of those people that I've connected to on this server that have become very important to me.<br><br>To all of my friends, you know who you are and I love you and hope we can stay in touch. To the other players, you are still part of my family, and I'll bring yams this Thanksgiving that I know you'll love.<br><br>Lastly, a very honorable and respectful mention to Alex, aka Inspironwins. You have made such an impact on my life not only by creating this incredible Minecraft server, but you've helped me develop a lot of my current technical skills today, and for the most part been such a supporting and caring person. I wish you the best of luck in the long life ahead of you that I know with your skills will get you far.<br><br>Au Revoir, McTopia<br><br>-Matt
