I found minetown by searching through the lists of servers that were up a long time ago. Just randomly joining and exiting servers until I found out as to where I could build kind of wherever I had wanted to, I was maybe one of the first 20? to get onto the server when it was first hosted in a basement let alone an entire server base now. I played for a while until the owner was having some trouble and needed help but with the permissions being locked needed extra mod support and after I had helped with that I had stayed for a while watched the community grow but haven't been back on for a few years. It was fun while it lasted way to many hours on the server, well spent. Still have a copy of the first map he had opened and its pretty cool with all of the buildings and everything people had built. Now many many worlds later when I log on I have no idea how to even get somewhere to build something. On that note is there still a trading system with gold and diamonds? best part of the game was working with others.
