I was just wondering what the history of EMC was. Can someone such as ICC or JustinGuy explain what happened from day 1?

EMC came about as an accident. I kept hearing about this thing called Minecraft, but when I looked at videos of it I thought it looked kind of stupid. Eventually I gave in and bought the game (I think I was bored at work one day). I played on single player only for awhile, and was immediately hooked.

I started to get curious about multiplayer because I was like if single player is this good, multiplayer must be off the hook. The sad thing is that I couldn't find a good server to play on. I searched and searched and found many servers, many claiming to be number one and "the best", but they were mostly pretty horrible. Lag, immature owners, poor organisation and setup, it just wasn't what I pictured MC multiplayer should be.

I convinced Jeremy to get the game and put up a small private white-list server (512 MB of ram and only 3 slots). It ran vanilla Minecraft. We slowly kept inviting friends and then they invited friends, etc. We were trying to keep it small but at some point we were like lets just go for it. We needed a name an website so EmpireMinecraft.com was born.

Now that we decided to be "public" I had this image of what I thought MC multiplayer should look like, and I just needed to get it out. So I quickly learned Java and started building the "EMC Platform". I wanted to have the great MC game I played on single player along with the ability to live in a society where my stuff was protected. So with the helpful input from our new (small) community I started building the Town/Wilderness system that is now the core of EMC.

What happened next was nothing short of amazing, the community just exploded. So many awesome people were joining the family and advancing our cause, to provide an awesome place for an awesome game. I honestly have never been part of a better community than this, it is truly unique.

Today for me EMC is my lifestyle. I spend a good chunk of my awake hours working on it, and have cut into a good chunk of my sleeping hours as well. But it is a drive of passion and determination to provide the technical side of what this community deserves
