Server History

Simplicity PvP is a survival Minecraft server which has existed since April 2011. The server was created by Yukarion for the purpose of uninhibited player versus player combat. Griefing, killing, stealing, and scamming are not only allowed, but encouraged. The only thing forbidden is hacking. Despite these unforgiving conditions, the server has developed a strong community, and players have cooperated to form large teams and create immense structures.

Early History

The server began on April 23, 2011. In the early days, PvP [1] was very common, and there was little focus on construction. Players rarely ventured more than a few thousand meters from spawn. The map was reset on September 15th, 2011, eliminating all traces of this era outside of memory.

Eden and the Dawn of Civilization

In late September 2011, construction began on the first significant project of the server, a large ocean base called Eden. Ten players joined together to create and defend the base, at the time an unprecedented feat of both diplomacy and engineering.

The leaders and principal architects were BoxyLiz and LittleBoxOfEmo. Though neither play on the server today, their legacy lives on. Eden remains one of the most well known and respected bases of Simplicity PvP.

Other players who helped with the project include EricCMiller, Lavadude42, mitte90, frejeban, LaughingMan, worldruler086, LoneSoldier55, and Gygantorz.

Many of these players went on to play important roles in later bases and teams across the server.

In November 2011, Eden was tragically betrayed and griefed by one of its residents, Worldruler086, and the base was abandoned. However, it was not known at the time who griefed Eden, so Worldruler086 was allowed to stay on the team.

Reconstruction, Avalon, The Hive, and Kashyyyk

After the destruction of Eden, most members of the team, including BoxyLiz, LittleBoxOfEmo, Lonsoldier55, and Worldruler086, went on to construct a new base, Avalon.

After only a few months, Avalon was also abandoned, when its location was compromised.

The team left Avalon and began work on a new base, The Hive, intending to surpass their previous constructions. After completing the Hive, many members of the team became inactive on the server, having grown tired of griefers. By 2012, the first major team on the server had disintegrated.

The last bases that BoxyLiz and LittleBoxOfEmo took part in were Kashyyyk and Damocles, which were mainly built by RevStoningpot.
