{Forum Discussion} How Did You Find Avicus? by OPTOBAT October 7, 2014 at 9:10 AM UTC

I've been thinking lately about how long I've been here and some of my favourite times at Avicus,  but then a question popped into my head that actually got me thinking for a while:
How did i even find Avicus?
After some thinking, as i joined a while ago, I remembered in the summer holidays last year (December) I was going through all the populated SG/HG servers, and found - at the time - McZone.

BUT, i also thought this question may be interesting to ask in the forums, so:
How did YOU find out about Avicus?

OPTOBAT October 7, 2014 at 9:10 AM UTC

BTW I think this classifies as a game, i dunno :S

S3M3L October 7, 2014 at 9:10 AM UTC

I joined just to destroy DaGoldBrick.

No, I'm kidding. I joined in the middle of July and quit in August. I played just a little bit on another server and heard about Avicus so I gave it a shot.

SnowSX3 October 7, 2014 at 10:10 AM UTC

I was on the Overcast Network before I came here.

One day on the OCN forums, Howsie posted an AMA an explained how he was a Manager on the Avicus Network.

I checked out this other Network knowing absolutely nothing about it.
6 months later I've become a regular on the forums :)

Iron October 7, 2014 at 11:10 AM UTC

Google :)

Zedther October 7, 2014 at 11:10 AM UTC

brian45er and I were searching for good Servers and he suggested going on "wallsmc.com" which was the old IP at the time...
That was in January of last year O_O

MuzzBuzz October 7, 2014 at 11:10 AM UTC

brian45er and Zedther called me on Skype and were all like - "get on this server and come on nexus!"

This was early last year I think

cinammoncroc000 October 7, 2014 at 11:10 AM UTC

andee88 showed me this Skywars server one day, which happened to be this. :P

hahaha and nice, sounds like a pretty adequate way to discover Avicus :)

That's awesome :) When you think about it, just imagine where you would be in minecraft right now if you had never seen that post from Howsie :S
Just a thought!
Anyways that sounds cool :)

ahhh skywars <3 nice way to start :)

MerlinMaster October 7, 2014 at 12:10 PM UTC

I was looking for walls servers.
I was looking for a server that had a ton of people on at the time, so I looked on the front page and I saw MCZONE I clicked it. wallsmc.com came up.

rot43 October 7, 2014 at 12:10 PM UTC

Back when there was the single walls server, that's when I joined, I think I saw it on some server list, when I looked up walls after watching an etho video.

Joao_Victor October 7, 2014 at 12:10 PM UTC

A friend told me about it.

Tarheelkiwi October 7, 2014 at 12:10 PM UTC

one of my homies, uvula10 told me about it.  my first mulitplayer server, so exciting!

Zedther October 7, 2014 at 1:10 PM UTC

There should be a veteran rank for people that have been on McZone prior to 30th of January, like a "veteran" rank

Joao_Victor October 7, 2014 at 1:10 PM UTC

There should be a veteran rank for people that have been on McZone prior to 30th of January, like a "veteran" rank
There's not really a need for it.

S3M3L October 7, 2014 at 1:10 PM UTC

There should be a veteran rank for people that have been on McZone prior to 30th of January, like a "veteran" rank
Lol, so you say you are a veteran if you have been here since McZone?

IamSUPERMAN2007 October 7, 2014 at 1:10 PM UTC

Lol, so you say you are a veteran if you have been here since McZone?
ever heard of mczone????

Glitchaye October 7, 2014 at 1:10 PM UTC

Deadlyswordz wanting to record hunger games, and found McZone..

lol never played mczone seriously, But last year I remembered Nebula and I wanted to play it again, So I joined avicus and here I am now.

Hete October 7, 2014 at 1:10 PM UTC

My friend told me when I was grade 6..
Playing ever since then.

QFrog October 7, 2014 at 1:10 PM UTC

Got banned on OCN so I went to the supposed "clones" of it. I started off with Avalanche but that died and now I'm here kinda.

S3M3L October 7, 2014 at 1:10 PM UTC

ever heard of mczone????
Lol, no offence my friend, but what's the problem? You seem very attached to me and in need to attack me in every post.

OPTOBAT October 7, 2014 at 1:10 PM UTC

There should be a veteran rank for people that have been on McZone prior to 30th of January, like a "veteran" rank
I agree, it gives them more recognition and acknowledgement for future and now :)

I know right?
I had never even heard of this place before seeing the forum post.
So, if it wasn't for Howsie posting on a Minecraft forum that he rarely visits.
I wouldn't be here.

It's weird when I think about it.

D00ZiE October 7, 2014 at 10:10 PM UTC

Sorry but that's not going to happen. The only thing people would use it for is to brag.

Porkyyy October 7, 2014 at 10:10 PM UTC

McZone - Just found it when googling hunger games servers.

Avicus - Duxhaxh2oboi showed me.

MidnightBeats October 7, 2014 at 10:10 PM UTC

Found McZone because I wanted to play skywars and my little brother found this server.
Then I started to play a bit more when the Avicore update came out.

I only joined the forums when i made a MC account for myself.

alexanderjoe October 7, 2014 at 10:10 PM UTC

I had really gotten in to a phase of playing walls. So I searched up walls servers. And this was basicly the top server on any list. So I came here and I don't regret that choich <3

IviFetita October 7, 2014 at 11:10 PM UTC

A guy on DeadPlayers said me "Do you like pvp? Do u like nexus?" I said him "yup." and he passed via /msg the IP wallsmc.com xD and I joined and now I am here ._.

Emmaye October 7, 2014 at 11:10 PM UTC

Back when walls was big and popular, I looked up servers to play on with walls, I saw the IP wallsmc.com on an advertisement, which looked official to me so I joined it, which later was Mc-Zone, then Avicus/Avicore

SnowSX3 October 7, 2014 at 11:10 PM UTC

Just for the title, shouldn't it be a discussion not a game?

Mooch24 October 7, 2014 at 11:10 PM UTC

mi m8 and mi were lookin for a hot server. we ran across the hg server on our hunt. stayed with it. met some people along the way. met nils and he told me to join the forums.

Phobiaxx October 7, 2014 at 11:10 PM UTC

My friend pizza told me about it randomly :P

SGMC October 7, 2014 at 11:10 PM UTC

when I was a minecraft noob searching for walls servers, and wallsmc.net seemed like a legit ip... guess I just got hooked

steven5703 October 7, 2014 at 11:10 PM UTC

That is pointless. You're not special because you joined before everyone else.

ON TOPIC:
Sometime in April last year. I was looking at servers list and I saw "MCZone: The walls..(ect)" and I was like "walls cool :o)" and I joined. I never actually played nebula until about May.

iDiamondPorkchop October 7, 2014 at 11:10 PM UTC

I watched skydoesminecraft play the walls and I wanted to play the walls
so i typed in walls server ip on google and wallsmc.com (avicus) came up so i played it lol then i went inactive for 3 months then played again and played neboola and i loved it
epic grammar

MajestysDream October 8, 2014 at 12:10 AM UTC

One day, I was in need for some good servers. So, I simply googled "Good MineCraft servers" and came across MCZone. I have been playing ever since.

but srsly, I don't remember.

Infivix October 8, 2014 at 12:10 AM UTC

I was bored of only playing walls, so I searched up "Minecraft SG surver" and found McZone. (This was like April 2k13)

ElfLardLicker October 8, 2014 at 12:10 AM UTC

I remember when you were the only person in the lobby and there was rarely anyone on. I found it on minecraft servers.

Y0urm0m1 October 8, 2014 at 1:10 AM UTC

Ok. I found Avicus when i was in Overcast. When tension from Avicus and Overcast arose, i was curious. I began even to be more curious when Overcst and Avicus about having war, tourneies, etc.. So i asked Turtles what was Avicus. I decided to check it out for myself. I thought it was a pretty good server so i decided to play. I mean, i still like Overcast better IMO (no h8 pwease just my opinion) but Avicus is like a second home and is my second favorite server almost close to OCN because of its similarity to Project Ares and IT was less intense and more relaxed and i enjoyed it! Avicus is actually one of the only servers i usually play on.


Nowadays, i cannot really play Avicus cuz for some odd reason, my internet is slower on Avicus so im waiting to get a new router!

Tarheelkiwi October 8, 2014 at 2:10 AM UTC

sounds like we need HUNGER GAMES

JKawesome October 8, 2014 at 2:10 AM UTC

Almost 11 months ago, I was on this small survival server that evolved into a mini game server, with games like skywars and CTW. I really enjoyed Skywars, and searched for more servers, which led me to finding the skywars.co IP. But when I joined, it was already Avicus, not McZone.

lulle265 October 8, 2014 at 3:10 AM UTC

I was just derpin around this public library where some people hanged out just to play minecraft of the computers. My friend introduced me to this random server called MCZone. He pressed the "games" tag, and I was pretty excited when I saw those gamemodes that I honestly never saw before. (Whao he dunt kno wallz und skiwarz whata nub) Unfortunately, the library banned minecraft since there was a one a huge group of gangstas yellin around breakin blox, and only cracked was available. Once I got home, I tried out each of the game modes. Skywars didn't have much people, I played walls and it was a meh, maybe play later. Ghost squad was interesting, Nebula for me was laggy, and I had no idea what to do. I didn't know where anything was, so I made a nubby skybride and sniped people making iron (hue). Nexus was the best. I loved how I had good armour, a good sword, a bow, and some other stuff. It was great. (Especially arc) I guess I might have deleted it from my server list. Much much later, I looked up MCZone and whoosh, what the hell is an Avicus? The end.

PieZ October 8, 2014 at 3:10 AM UTC

Someone from avicus went onto the OCN forums and declared war on us. Got interested and played(I still know who it is :3)

OPTOBAT October 8, 2014 at 3:10 AM UTC

Just for the title, shouldn't it be a discussion not a game?
yeah that's what i was thinking, it didn't really sound like a game to me, so i agree, ill change the title now :)

OPTOBAT October 8, 2014 at 3:10 AM UTC

wat?
You can't google how you personally found a server lol XD

hahaha i can relate recently, i have been hearing more and more about this Avicus/Overcast controversy and inquiry, so I've been checking out OCN, which i seriously dislike in comparison to Avicus :D

That sounds like one hell of a discovery haha, but also it sounds like you've been here a while, so thats awesome to hear :D

Cosplayin October 8, 2014 at 3:10 AM UTC

I got banned on a vanilla server for "griefing" (I was destroying my own house) umm then I really got into watching "The Walls" game I searched up "Minecraft walls server" and found wall-mc.net or something and basically I learned about mczone.

Some guy told me to get on one time.

RCMP_Mountie October 8, 2014 at 3:10 AM UTC

May 25th of 2013, was bored of SP life and wanted to try out Multiplayer. So, I scrolled all the way down the server list and found MCZone with a cool server description. Immediately got hooked on Nebula and have been here ever since.

Arigenn October 8, 2014 at 3:10 AM UTC

One of my friends was like "Hey come play hunger games with me on mc-hg.org." I've played on MCZone/Avicus ever since

ChickenTender October 8, 2014 at 3:10 AM UTC

Axemina6 was playing on a random hunger games server and I asked him what is was and he told me there was skywars and walls as well.
Seperate ip's for each minigame,  of course.

mr_penguin_12 October 8, 2014 at 4:10 AM UTC

minecraftserverlist.com i was looking for i a good pvp server then i stumble on mczone i loved it!  Back then i mostly played walls :P

Eklip_Z October 8, 2014 at 4:10 AM UTC

Typing in random ip's :3. Then coming on and playing every so often to play Ghost Squadron and Skywars.

Colecrc October 8, 2014 at 4:10 AM UTC

I spelled the MCPVP IP wrong and found MCZone hunger games :3

FrostedCupcakez October 8, 2014 at 5:10 AM UTC

Well, I remember being a totally noob coming from Minecraft PE. First week I had Minecraft I spent about 1 hour a day trying to figure everything out and messing with my controls (how I got used to using opposite controls) Me being a totally noob and not having any friends that played Minecraft decided to search for servers. Stumbled across Avicus and became obsessed with Skywars xD

http://avicus.net/user/Swisscheese10 told me about Avicus 1.0....

IT WAS THE BEST DAY OF MAH LIFE!!!!

(I still play with Swisscheesy but his PC is broken :L )

HereIwas October 8, 2014 at 9:10 AM UTC

I was invited to thsi server from one of my best friends.
It looked liked the server was really popular with outnumbered users.
I join Mczone when I first bought Minecraft.
But currently I quit Avicus..

Hola October 8, 2014 at 10:10 AM UTC

One of my friends said something like "Hey, wanna play on this shitty server?" And I said "Sure".

vladthegreat100 October 8, 2014 at 11:10 AM UTC

MLGPorky brought me here 2 play nebula... I still have the recording............. I believe I uploaded to youtube xD. I litterally didn't know what to do and I was explained how to play it like 20 times .-.

[EDIT]- Here it is xD, found it. :3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezqeAZfWNgQ&list=UUPS3AwaNXAr8OIC4-VHb8FQ&feature=c4-overview

fazer153 October 8, 2014 at 2:10 PM UTC

Let's put a long story short: i was hooked on a gamemode called skywars, but on the server i played on there was so much lag it was unbearable, so i needed another skywars server. The first thing that came on youtube about skywars was JJtCool's video on skywars on McZone. That's pretty much how i got here.

Before skywars however, i was also hooked on a gamemode called capture the flag on one of Zek's servers and i played that for quite some time. That's where my pvp journey started. After getting a bit bored on that i was introduced to skywars and that's where it began.

Vyyper January 26, 2015 at 6:01 AM UTC

well i though to my self, "hey i have played minecraft for a while i want to join a server"
then i looked up minecraft servers on google and a server called skywars.net popped up and i accidentally put in skywars.co and i joined a server that was a stone platform in the middle of the void with 6 games and you had speed 2 so me being on this server was a happy accident.

MLGtino January 26, 2015 at 12:01 PM UTC

StewieFG January 26, 2015 at 2:01 PM UTC

my old friend just told me to get on because he thought doctapop is cool player and he told me to get on to see him

c4ooo January 26, 2015 at 6:01 PM UTC

I was looking for a Walls server, and i found MC_WALLS. It then evolved into MC_ZONE, and then into Avicus.

OPTOBAT January 27, 2015 at 3:01 AM UTC

who the hell bumped this hahaha XD
this was made 4 months ago..
But still awesome to see how people found out about this amazing server of ours >:)

Skquid January 27, 2015 at 5:01 PM UTC

My friend told me of this server and asked me to play the walls with him. I later discovered nexus. I tried out nebula and realized how awesome It was, and this server has been my most favorite ever since.

thats kinda how things went with me man :)
I found mcZone and only loved and played the walls, and sucked at it XD
then i found Nebula and started playing the other games too :D

Ratchi February 1, 2015 at 12:02 AM UTC

I was looking for as walls server and I found this one back when it was called MCzone I liked this server so I stayed

Fun Fact: This server was actually the first one I joined in Minecraft

Westby February 1, 2015 at 12:02 AM UTC

I didn't find Avicus, Avicus found me <3

OPTOBAT February 1, 2015 at 4:02 AM UTC

I didn't find Avicus, Avicus found me <3
ahaha i never chose the Avicadian life - it chose me >:)

BourbonBonobo February 1, 2015 at 4:02 AM UTC

One day, I guess I added Avicus (in that day it was MCZONE), to my servers list.. and I never really checked it out. Later that year, I was scrolling through my server lists and clicked Avicus, thinking it was just another one of those lame pvp servers. But guess what? It was nothing like that. I still remember my first map I ever played on: Luar. Avicus is now my favorite server, I'm glad to call it my favorite place to play MC.

Mango_ February 1, 2015 at 4:02 AM UTC

An old friend introduced me to McZone a couple of years ago. It's quite funny actually because soon after Avicus was released the same guy got banned for hacking :P

AutoHit February 1, 2015 at 4:02 AM UTC

One day I was playing on a server (a skydoesminecraft server, but I was young) and one of my friends on there sneaked a IP to me. That IP was Avicus, back then when it was mczone. I started playing and I've been here ever since.

AlwaysRushing February 1, 2015 at 4:02 AM UTC

i met violentboo on an old server that he quit and i still play
then i started watching his utube and saw him making vids about nebula
and the community of that old server knew the server too and some would be like hey who wanna play nebula with me
so i got to know avicus from violent.

toketrain February 1, 2015 at 4:02 AM UTC

i found it about a year ago through another server where they were talking about walls really admirably so i came on :)

Dyspa February 1, 2015 at 6:02 AM UTC

From a video an OCN made, he was playing Amazon I, the old MCZone, the old Nexus ;(
#Nostalgia

Jahaj February 1, 2015 at 3:02 PM UTC

My friend, i cant spell his Minecraft name, told me to play walls in march of last year, frankly he was hacking and got banned. xD

ClubberNugget February 1, 2015 at 5:02 PM UTC

January 2014: I got good internet and I wanted to play the walls, so I watched a YouTube video on how to play walls online, and the IP was wallsmc.com and boom, I got much more than just Walls :D

Atdit February 1, 2015 at 5:02 PM UTC

A friend told me, he wants to play with me and another friend nebula.

It was the best day in my life.

(if you ask, which day the worst is in my life: December 20, 2014 at 07:04 PM) c;

My_Old_Man February 1, 2015 at 5:02 PM UTC

I found this server back on my rot43 account, a couple years ago looking for walls servers, and found MCZone. I just played and then joined the forums a few months after avicus was introduced.

source_route February 1, 2015 at 7:02 PM UTC

i thought it was skywars
