: Five Years of Dogcraft
: LilWolfie July 15, 2017, 11:31:30 PM
Although it's not known if July 15, 2012 is the actual day that Dogcraft went live, it was shortly after that Ren first mentioned his fan community in his survival world.
Whether you've been on Dogcraft for five years or five days, I want to know what your favorite memories are. Post them here, from server to old dogcraft chat to discord stories. I want to hear them.

Competition is closed, but please still leave your memories!
I will randomly select 5 to win a small prize (DCDs). Only one entry per username; multiple posters will be disqualified.

Edit to add: I'm letting this run for a couple of weeks to give people a chance to post.

my fav memory was when i first met mattigins on the 1.7 world was working on my base trying to build a wall and for some odd reason blocks would not place in this one area then all a sudden random spiderman heads started popping up all over my wall.
this was the first encounter of the troll king himself i still laugh to this day about it.

My favorite memory was when nho fought viva la revolution. It was 6 people vs 1. There was withers bosses everywhere attacking you people eating notch apples, dogs attacking you, and people dying and fighting.

I've only been playing for 10 days but I already have a couple of favorite memories. the first was when FalseConsistency helped me find a winter biome near her, and the second was when Jpet gave me 3 diamonds and an enchanted-diamond helmet and pair of boots (might've had something to do with the fact that I bought some stuff from his chest-shops). I've only been on for 10 days but I love the kind-hearted community we have on this server, and I can't wait for the chance to help somebody else.

Although I've not been a cyberdog for very long, my favourite memory on the server so far has to be when _edo visited my base and gave his "blessing" / "permission"
for me to join my small village onto the SRN at Dressrosa station. We had a lengthy chat about designs for track, tunnel and station.

My favorite memory up till now was meeting _edo and him recognizing my work at Taiga bay station. It was fun to make a friend that early after joining the server!

So many nice memories. Here are some of my fondest ones:

Ceremonial inauguration of Grannydog's monument by Rendog (he's up there somewhere). This was on the memorable May 21st, 2016, when The End was also opened for all players. We all conquered the Dragon together! 50+ players craziness.

The first Elytra Race to Lackria, organised by William27528, sponsored by the SRN, on September 4th, 2016. Departure from the Hot Air Balloon at Mesa Station. It was a fun day; many players, fireworks, music, race, shenanigans.

During one of the few live stream sessions of Ren in Stream Town I wound up with some ladies in a bath tub... one does not simply forget those moments (this was on may 11th, 2016).

Just a cozy boat ride with Bun in the amplified world. Feeling like Absolute Beginners (bowie (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8NZa9wYZ_U)) ... (on November 13th, 2016)

And most recently, when last april I came back to the server after a four months hiatus, to find the SRN/NTN in a healthy condition and expanding! Run by darparniox and an active team of Brianetta, OP, Aeghu, Skelly, Fred, dmg, RAD and more. That was really heartwarming.

I'm sure we're soon gonna make many more memorable moments in the new 1.12 world!

Still being a fairly new Cyberdog, I have to say one of my favourite memories of my time on the server so far, was when Tyrage brought his beacon over to my just started base area and helped me find and dig out the first slime chunk I found.  After that, it was dying when I was showing off my barely started base to Ren. That still makes me laugh when I think about it. ^^

My favorite memory was when I attacked Ren in a UHC.  He kinda freaked out because I snuck up on him while he was crafting xD.

My favorite memory has to be the day I started up my account. See, my daughter, Navi_Heylisten was excited about getting me to play Minecraft. I had never played before. So for Christmas, she bought me Minecraft. The day after Christmas, we got my account set up, and Navi, my other daughter Tina Sakura (formerly A_I Sparkles), and Clangadin spent the entire day introducing me to the world of Minecraft on the Dogcraft server. It was epic!

Haven't been playing for too long, but I think my best memory thus far was the Summer Festival this year.  The amount of work that the staff put into those builds was amazing and it was a lot of fun playing around in there.

Fav memory so far, and I havn't been here long, was the look on my gf's (Vilyn_Jenkins) face when she was digging straight down and fell into lava and died within the first hour. She usually plays casually in creative. Was a good laugh.

Mine was when I finally finished a SRN project, just in time for Something Summer 2017! Still feels like it was yesterday...

Wow - Five years? I find that extraordinary, to think that this community has existed for so long. Many people have come and go, but it's great to see the community continually grow and my favourite memory from when I first joined the site was by far founding Lackria. I first joined the site after Ren featured me on the Dogolith and I first joined the server on a stream back when Stream Town was under construction.

It was a time when the SRN was at it's infancy, with the Spawn Station just having been built. I took it upon myself, after a couple of weeks to rejoin the server and travel a line to setup a station along TTIR1's old line to his base and I built a town off the side of the rickety old rail with the help of SENsationals01 after asking for help in the chat for the first time. The rest is history, as they say - with many great memories such as the various Elytra Races I hosted, SRN line construction, appointing the co-mayors of town (special mentions: MrAnonymous, TraktorMC), Cyberdog Events Committee Construction and of course the base tour of Lackria with Rendog.

Overall, I think Dogcraft holds the best from when I started playing Minecraft in the summer of 2012; there's just nothing like running a community and watching it grow and I thank Ren, Matti and the staff for keeping it that way. I look forward to the future of the server with the 1.12 world approaching on the horizon presenting a fresh start for many. Today may be a sad day with Ren announcing the end of his survival world, but it's a great time to remember how he has created a community to remember, for the future to come! :)

Thanks,
William

My Favorite memory was not too long ago when Ren posted a video on it and at least 100 people were on at all times.

My favourite memory is from the first few minutes I was on the server. I'd spent weeks looking for a new server to call home, after my previous server community was dismantled.

I'd registered on the web site, linked my account, and joined the Discord server. I had just walked through that long underwater tunnel at Spawn, and was reading the rules, when I heard the following:

"Hello, new player Brianetta! My name is Abigail, and I'm president of the Cyberdog Events Committee. Welcome to the server!"

That, right there, is the moment I knew I'd found a server with a strong, friendly community, and decided to stay.

I started watching Rendog when he started on Hermitcraft Season 4. And the idea that a vastly liked Youtuber comes from the same country I do is amazing. Ren has a lot of derps and funny moments. And with Season 5 of Hermitcraft he gets technical as well. And I like it.

My favorite memory of Rendog was when he visited South Africa, and he shows all the South African snacks they take for padkos, and they have a pack of Simba Ms Balls Chutney Flavor. That is the Only Simba chips I eat and to see peopel coming back and not forgetting their roots makes me so happy.

Keep it up Ren :D :D

I have been on the server for a while but some of my fondest memories are during server events,  The xmas event last year where we got to build in small plots with Ren (still have a home set there for nostalgia)  the day of flight was a blast and the first large event i got to partake in and man was it a blast.  We have a great community here full of awesome amazing people.

Favorite memory; july 2013. Was in the midst of a youtube addiction watching rendog's minecraft survival seasons 2 & 3.

Joined the 1.6.4 server and Mattigins was the first face I met. He was so friendly and helpful! Proceeded to get killed by spiders numerous times on my first night.

I never had quite the gear, luck or riches as on other maps, but that map was my first SMP experience and was the most fun for me. Minecraft 1.6.4 was significantly more difficult than it is now, that was part of the fun.

I bought minecraft for my daughter and got hooked after playing with her. The dogcraft server is the 1st multiplayer server I played on without her. On my 1st login to survival 1 I was blown away by spawn town and I mentioned how amazing everything looks in chat. Rooky Bubbles replied and ended up giving me a tour. A few days later he stopped by my starter base and liked my style so we teamed up and he supplied materials while I cranked out the build. Being a multiplayer n00b, I built a large sky base between 3 other bases in Lakria which basically crowded everyone out (my bad). The mods mediated and I talked to the neighbors and everybody was super cool but Rooky and I were really nervous about having to tear it down for a couple of days there.

TLDR; I made some friends and caused some drama as soon as I joined the server.

my favorite memory was when I was banned (no this is not a joke) I got to meet some mods and realize how really nice they are. Also when I saw Ren die in a uhc then avenged his killer and ended up with Ren's head XD


One of my favorites was when I killed two mods in a UHC that was redemption for when I got teamed by Ren and Iscall together
