I just hit 5 years here. What is your first memory of EMC?

I feel like I couldn't answer the poll correctly, as it says 'will you hit', while I have already hit it.
Anyway: my first memory of EMC is reading the post about the EMC Fireworks from now on (well, not 'now', but over 4 years ago) having unlimited uses.
Yeah, I've always been a forums person!

Congrats and welcome to the five year club. We joined not very long apart, so I share a lot of the same memories. Wishing you another happy five years!

Congratulations, and, wow, has it been 5 years alredey? I am a little over 4.5 years now. but I do still remember the sandstone maze tutorial... but I do mostly remember it as a real life thing, I was sitting next to Tom(vanWijnen) and he was explaining the rules to mu in Dutch, becuase I wasn't able to understand Englisch at all those days (It's still kind of dificult, but well, it works) I also still remember that when I firstly joined I thought "Wow, thease residences are BIG" where I now have trouble having to fit a build in one residence... I also had an extreemly cheap shop those days, one that sold 300 melons a ruppe...

Oh remember some b4 this one

Looking answers in google for maze tutorial(did found a guide)

Digging in my residence trying to find stone,

oh and spending all my money i had in materials on the first shop i saw

And actually deleting all my tutorial items since i spawned in smp7 and not in 8(where my friends were) so i deleted my res that had all my items

Wait, really? Like, for EMC specifically? That's amazing.

I just got on with my friend DAVID4REALZ on Dec 9th
I bought a diamond sword from the empire shop for like 2k rupees (I was a noob so don't roast me [or do roast me because this is what my life has become, a vicious circle that ends with me being for some reason lol]) David worked hard on his house (which was just recently deleted because he's been offline for months)
And I killed a creeper and mined for a little bit and that's pretty much it.

Oh I was on smp9 but so was david4realz

I joined in December of 2012 when the Empire Firework was brand new. I played EMC with a friend of mine who set up an automatic firework machine. As far as old EMC memories go, I remember IceCreamCow, the "soon to come" DragonTombs update, Deathtomb's one million rupee drop party, and the introduction of enraged mobs.

Good times!

I'm too new );

You'll be old too, one day.

Haha! True (wuts the chrome emoji how so you get that?

The one in the row of images beneath my post, you mean? It's simply a picture I downloaded and put into my signature: you can change yours by going to https://empireminecraft.com/account/signature.

6 of 7 I clicked upon your Chrome image. My Computer had to block a phishing site because of the link your signature sent me to.

Gratz on 5 years. I heave been here almost a year.

First thing I remember when going smp7 was TBird1128 saying if I needed anything just asked. I asked where to get XP and she took to me to smp8 to the PWU and showed me around.

Then I found out smp7 did not have a PWU, so after I set up my stained glass shop, I proceeded to build one. I does not have all that smp8 does, because most of the spawners have been destroyed. But I am glad I built it.

Expanding on my post from the first page, I found some random old screenshots of the tutorial that was in place back in 2014.

Congrats on the 5 years here on EMC. My first memories of EMC is getting my res, reading the rules on the forums... again, then going to the waste to collect anything I could find. I was scared of the frontier for the longest time cause I knew that didn't reset and didn't want to do anything there till I was sure I was staying here. 2+ years later... I ain't afraid of the frontier anymore. Built my own outpost and helped a small group, at the time, to establish their own outpost. That has grown beyond what I thought it would.
