I like Opticraft. Lot of people, lot of really impressive projects, lot of incredible builders. But, after some consideration, I've decided it's not for me. I don't regret donating $50 (although it would have been nice to at least get a thank-you e-mail) because this is a pretty solid community and I'm happy to help keep it going. To me, this place seems too uptight. I get the feeling that people are searching for something to be offended by. I've had a few people fly off the handle at me for merely giving my opinion. Anyway, I've moved on to a different server. I've got more room and a full set of build commands, so I'm happy. If anyone wants to visit, its the 24/7 Official MCStorm Server.

Changed my mind!

Holy crap. I heard you guys talking about it last night on the server but I didn't think it was *that* big.

Inevitability is the force which draws me here. Or, it's what happens when a creative gamer gets bored with all the carefully fenced in and choreographed titles. You get the illusion of a mountain in the distance or a city over the horizon, but you can't go there, explore, or build your own.

Hooray, minecraft.

I've been playing survival mode for a few months now and have had to abandon a few projects because I don't have the time to mine an inventory full of cobble just to build the next floor

I had a blast in the guest rooms, even though a few people decided to tunnel through my projects. Apparently its safer to build in the air. Tonight I'll put together a properly massive building in single player classic to use as my membership request project.
