What’s your Minecraft Multiplayer history? Why did you host your own server, and when? Start date/MC Version?
The story behind the server’s name?
I started playing Minecraft Multiplayer around 2.5 years ago. I started my server in March of 2013 and it ended in March 2014, it was launched when 1.4.7 was out. Quite a long history leading to the name of the server, actually. Had ran a couple of shops on an older server with a few friends called VR, and we ended up calling the server VRWorld. Really, no idea why I named it that.
Gamemode? Plugins? Mods? Maybe your own special plugins?
So much. We did Survival, Creative, PvP, Mini-Games, etc, all over time. Eventually, near the end, we even had a custom mini-game.
How did you advertise it?
Forums, server lists, we even had a premium spot on a list once.
Who paid the rent? And how many slots did it have?
We were run through donations. The slot amount varied over time, it was at 18 originally, I think we ended with like 120.
Did all players have a similar rank? Or was it based on experience, or even pay-to-win?
Wasn’t exactly pay to win… players had perks like /god /fly though if they had a rank.
Was there an active community, with forums or voice servers?
Yes, we had it all.
What did you experience as a leader of a community? Stories from your server!
I gained so much experience for plugins, designing, and knowledge of players by doing this, I’ve also experienced haters, drama, and hackers.

Why did it shut down? And when?
March of 2014, it got worn out, and I started a new one.
Do you plan to host a server again?
Already am
