An ode to Raptorcraft
If you're reading this, then you may have well once been a player on RaptorCraft. Many years ago, we pulled the plug on that server. The server belonged to a simpler time of the first generation of Minecraft players. We were kids when we set this up. We're now well into our adulthood. Many great memories were shared and many hours expended on a number of builds.
RaptorCraft never went out with a bang. It was more of a whimper. As we grew older, Minecraft stopped being so "cool", as it was a "kid's game". Less and less players frequented the server. Then, eventually, it became a ghost town. One day long after abandonment, we stopped decided to stop paying for our server, and the server shut down. DaddyChesse (our server provider) eventually merged with Shard Gaming, with the merged entity entering bankruptcy.
This site & the Planet Minecraft page, and memories are all that's left of the old RaptorCraft Server. The forum's long gone, after being abandoned, spammed by bots, and the provider (Enjin) shutting down. The server's files are long gone, and with it all of the creations and player logs. If we had it differently, we would've saved these and connected with old players on other platforms.
If you're reading this, you're either a lost traveller from some corner of the internet or some old user with a bit of nostalgia. If you're of the latter camp, then thanks for all the good times as we were growing up.
We've obviously long grown up. It's been a decade after all. We've all moved on and got jobs, but if you're a former player who's come here out of nostalgia then I also say hello. If you're around then feel free to add me on Discord.
It was a pleasure,
Finn, former server owner (demonjlkm/demonchap/techno_orb)
