Perhaps, it might be odd for you to read a reply from me, however, let me take you back about four years ago...

Two cousins, one named Waterworth (well, me ) and one named Fatnoob (now Foob) wanted to play Minecraft together and decided to make a small two player server.

After hours of playing, we made our first diamond pickaxe and subsequently I lost that pickaxe in some lava (whoopsie!) and I suppose this was when we first conceived of a very rudimentary form of Noobstown; we knew (from a vast array of other games) that it was always much more fun to play with friends rather than be on your own. We thought it would be a good idea to open a server for other people to enjoy and meet new people: so we did!

What we saw was a very diluted form of the Noobstown that exists today: towns and players! That version has been built on ever since and the result of this is what we see today!

We've stuck with Noobstown because we love to run communities where players can have fun whether it be with their friends or to enable them to make new friends and have fun, we will stick with this server for as long as possible!

I hope you enjoyed my little spiel and for your informational needs: we never saw that pickaxe again.

Originally, I joined Noobstown after being begged repeatedly by a friend of mine. I finally gave in, mostly so I could help him out with his town. I'm glad I did.
I stick with Noobstown not just because of the server itself, but because of the people online. The staff are all friendly and I've become friends with many people who I'd never have heard of otherwise, from all around the world, within my town and out. Beyond that, the grief-free system is far more effective than that on most servers with the custom 'Chunky' plugin, and the server retains a clean, family-friendly environment, something unfortunately not enforced by many servers.

Was that intentional?
