The Servers and Community of Yesterday -
     The servers that we all used to play on were all about survival and co-operations with other players. I loved that, I also liked to make a server with that aspect. The minecraft community was small and just begining, although a lot more players began to play, and I think that is great that Mojang got the game to progress into a larger community (but thats a later discussion). Yesterday's server as I like to call it, wasn't about getting everything handed to you and creative mode, also minigames. These servers were meant to work together and survive, just like the game inteanded. But Mojang did let us mod the game to our own extent, but did that get out of hand and ruin the game as we used to know?

The Servers and Community of Today -

    Today we have a different aspect of the game. Most of us now just want to be in creative and have everything handed to us (like 8 year olds begging for an iPhone these days). I just find this isn't right. Today I find that all servers with a good amount of people is just creative modes and bad minigames. I really want to get back into server creating, but all people expect are these games. I like the idea of survival and co-op. Not screaming at each other competing at a minigame. Another thing I find bad with today's community is that we are forced to pay to get "special access" when all it is, is the same thing. Server owners make us pay to join servers, play certain games, and be overpowered in said game. All just because you gave away your money to some stranger. Is this the downfall of survival? Or is this the beginning of a new game?

The Serveers and Community of Tomorrow -
    But what about the near future? Will Minecraft just be a source for minigames and screaming children? Do we want this to be call of duty? Of course not. (sorry for bad format it got all screwy on me) I believe that we will soon just forget the fact that survival was the entire point of this game. If you guys want I will create a server that is strictly survival, no games no hand outs. Feel free to comment your opinion and start discussions. Thanks!
