How did you hear about Blocktopia?
Back in TheOne's era, I heard about TheOne's Classic Zombie Survival from a friend of mine named Ghoul47. I knew him from another Classic Minecraft build map, and he wanted me to accompany him in a game of tag there. I joined him when I was on the account "Amoriea," another friend of mine's Minecraft account, and enjoyed it very much. I soon stopped playing with Ghoul47, so I stopped playing Zombie.
Eventually, I got my own account, and decided to go back to Zombie... Sooner than later, I signed up for Trusted. Soon after, requested to be put on Op-Trial... And eventually, Operator of Zombie Survival. I was quite popular there for quite some time, until I lost internet access, and soon my title of Operator...
I went from Zombie to SMP, made Shizuka, aaaand Blocktopia was the decided name change from TheOne's.
What are some of your favorite moments?
I especially loved my time as Operator on Classic Zombie Survival. Sadly, after it got more rules, and WoM broke its physics, I kind of just lost interest.
But, I have to admit, the first few maps of Solitude were especially the best. When it was just a dirt wasteland with rivers, it was quite an adrenaline rush when I found people in my path across the river, next to this village. Turns out, they were friendly people I knew, and the mayor of the village was @
EphemeralKap.
Long story short, I joined Kap's village, stuff happened, Kap went crazy, and the map became forever memorable.
Who are some notable people you made friends with?
There was a group of people I played Minecraft with on SMP that I stuck with, all the way until Gaia of Primordia... @
DaniNomsYou, @
lolpierandom, @
EonLatias, and @
Shadowofgods. I was wrong to "force" them with me into leadership, as I only felt comfortable with them around, due to me being a terrible leader. They're great friends, but we weren't fit to take care of over 100 players.
Still, I love you guys. <3
What's your favorite part about Blocktopia?
The community. The whole reason I haven't left yet is because I have some great friends here. A brilliant hang out, and the perfect place to be myself.
How long have you known Blocktopia?
Well, I've know about Blocktopia since we came up with the name during TheOne's. I've known TheOne's since... The summer of either 2009 or 2010, I believe.

And because I was once Operator and leader of one of the four Primordia nations, I'll answers some questions.
Who/what inspired you to become part of staff?
What inspired me to become Classic Zombie Survival staff was the great times I had there. I wanted to contribute to the game, with more than just enjoying it everyday... So, I wanted to become a referee, a person who watches over the round for people who break the rules.
With the server not having as many rules at the time (Towers were allowed, all blocks were allowed, unlimited block placement for humans, no block placement for zombies), it was easy to talk and watch at the same time.
What are some of your favorite moments while staffing?
... Breaking some of the minor rules without hassle, such as "spamming" the chat on Classic Zombie by me "singing." I would write down the lyrics of the song I was listening to, and people would just laugh about it. Some even joined in, and we all had fun. Even people who just joined in didn't have a problem with it.
If Infection was the same way, which I highly doubted would ever happen, I probably would enjoy it very much. But, Infection has carried over many rules from the late stage of Classic Zombie, as well as some changes that have to be made to cope with Premium features. I may adapt to it in time, but for now, I'll just keep my favorite memories of Classic Zombie, and play some Mabinogi.
