BeardedCraft, Real Talk.
By: Nick Date: August 5, 2013, 10:35 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
BeardedCraft is one of the most friendliest and closest
Minecraft communities I have ever seen. I am forever happy to be
a part of it.
BeardedCraft originated from Mike and I fed up of finding
respectable, friendly Minecraft servers. So then BeardedCraft
was formed and it evolved into something huge!
Before we knew it we had over 100 players, then 1000 and now
7500! We have had almost 100 individuals pay real life currency
to see us thrive and that support means so much.
However...
As problems have arisen over the past eleven months, they stack
up and up without reasonable solutions..... It has really gotten
out of hand. But I try my hardest to patch them.
Financially, we have really been cutting it close to an expected
time-frame in our future with all the costs of keeping
BeardedCraft playable for everyone, whenever.
With Mike being the good friend he is, I hate to tell him how
managing his server single-handedly gets harder and harder as
days pass.
But as a joint emotion, we feel MineCraft has lost it's flare it
once had. Which in turn, I am sure many of us can also feel as
well... Not just with BeardedCraft.
Most servers out there, they remain forever forgotten.
They struggle to rise above the single digits in a community and
face impossible challenges with the problems they do face.
Minecraft is a simple-made game (Better than anything I could
produce, keep in mind) and the competition is heavy for new
servers arising and the Minecraft game in itself.
More players are leaving for competitors like CubeWorld,
quitting MineCraft altogether, or just starting their own
servers. This drastically cuts new players... And a future.
-- Although many can debate CubeWorld is not a competitor, it
is. And the MineCraft hype has been dying out slowly based off
this social media.
So, I never really have done an introduction on myself... So now
would be a good time with all this, I think.
My name is Nick, I am twenty one years old and I voluntarily
have managed four MineCraft servers over the past three years;
BeardedCraft being the most successful.
I do not get paid. I solely have run off the happiness and
entertainment all of you have brought forth to the server every
day you log in.
As I have tried to juggle my real life with this cyber life, one
side always seems to lose and the constant stress over a
video-game has finally broken me down I feel.
What am I saying, exactly?
Good things never last forever.
Between the un-fixable, inevitable end BeardedCraft will meet
from the accumulation of wear and tear of the year of general
Minecraft experiences,
And my need to prioritize my real life... This end might just be
closer than we think. :'(
We have seen many friends come, we have seen many friends go. We
have had our ups, and we have had our downs.
As a video-game with time and effort put into it... Much more so
than others, it really does hurt to be the bad guy most of you
have seen I try so hard not to be.
If we continue down this path we are headed, we will trip and
fall. Even if a new beginning began, I do not know if I could be
there.
I want to finish off saying this...
Though BeardedCraft may be forever lost one day, you will always
have the memories you made with the people inside this virtual
world.
Make the memories you will never forget to remember.
- Nick

As much as I hate to admit it, I feel that you are right Nick
:'( . I have seen this too, though I have only been with
Beardedcraft for 8 almost 9 months. Even I have seen many come,
and many go, though the memories that were made will remain. I
see that Beardedcraft and Minecraft have both lost their flare
that they used to have, Though I see this, I will stay with both
to the very end.

I think BC will be able to live on for a while. People play it
less because of Cubeworld and Tekkit, but there is still a large
minecraft community. Unfortunately a lot of those people are
raiders or griefers or only like to pvp or use creative. We are
a smaller community, but that is alright because we are mostly
good people.

Mike... we need BeardedCraft!

I have one question on this, don't we have a creative world on
Beardedcraft that Nxck never opended to the public? I remember
there being a poll saying if people knew about this creative
world.

We really appreciate all the support, guys. Thank you.
Heck, even the offers to help manage different areas of the
server have come up privately. That is awesome!
BeardedCraft has not hit the end yet, I still would like to do
all I can to prevent us from shutting down altogether, as long
as I can.

I just sent in a ticket to our hosting provider with a few
questions.
If we pull a few strings, we might be able to place BeardedCraft
under new management -- Someone else making the payments and in
control of the files.
MEANING...
No files lost in the transfer, game-play exactly as you leave
it.
Prior SupraCraft's end, Idwlod_MC requested a take-over.
If he is still up for it and Mike feels comfortable with the
change of hands, there will be a bittersweet beginning after
all!
;D

Bit of an update:
Mike, ID, and CreeperHost have all accepted the new ownership
position. Things now have yet to be discussed, but BeardedCraft
should now see many more days. ;D
As I have no control of the financial side of things, Mike and
ID are going to discuss that now among-st themselves.
It was a fantastic experience to meet everyone and their diverse
personalities from one another. I hope to see you guys around
someday!
Keep it classy, gentlemen and gentleladies. ;)
