Minecraft: A few days before 1.8, my new friend has asked if I played Minecraft, I told him I only had the classic version. He told me to buy it, then I said I had to ask my dad. I suggested that my friend buy a gift code for me and I pay him back. I asked my dad and I thought he would say no, but he said yes because he said I deserved it! He emailed my friend's mom and told him I was allowed to get premium Minecraft and pay my friend back. My friend got super excited and it all went well from there.
Opticraft: I typed something like "Minecraft multiplayer servers" in Google and I somehow wondered to a site which had Opticraft SMP on it. I joined and the chat was like a tsunami. I asked someone if I could live with them and masonjeffery(I think) said I could. His house was underground and boring, but he made a room for me and I couldn't do much because of Protection stones. I logged out for that day.
How did you find out opti was the one: I logged in the next day and I had saw a friend from another server I played on there. I pm'd him and he let me stay in his underground house, it was cool. Later I found out Tylerhan had a city named "Skyrim City" and it was a floating city. I moved out of my friend's house and made my own house. If it wasn't for masonjeffery and my other friend, I would have never stayed on this server.
