Hello everyone!
In October of 2010, a simple thought was set in motion on a newly created server; In order to earn access, the player must complete a challenge. While the server today is different in a multitude of ways, this core idea remains the same. Since the doors first opened, hundreds of thousands of people have joined the server, millions of checkpoints have been set, and tens of millions of points have been awarded. Year after year, the continued creativity and ingenuity of those that have chosen to call this server home continues to impress me.
One of the things I wanted to do this year was make a "time capsule" of sorts that we could reference in the future, possibly to compare against future years.
Some interesting facts about the server for those that find this post some time in the future:
Map statistics:
- The server currently has 402 playable maps in FFA (Including HC maps). The newest is Windmill, which was released approx. 36 hours ago.
- The difficulty system currently uses 7 different tiers - white (Very Easy), blue (Easy), green (Novice), yellow (Moderate), orange (Hard), red (Very Hard), and black (Expert).
- There are a total of 12 expert maps.
- Jiga's Claymaze currently lists 269 completions.
Most/Least:
- The most completed map is Factory, with 50580 completions.
- The least completed map is Warped II (Released 9/4/2020) with 28 completions.
- The most completed expert map is Outpost, with 267 completions.
- The least completed expert map is Invictus II, with 49 completions. This is also the first expert-level maze released on the server.
- The most completed very hard map is Telepads, with 1338 completions. (It's inclusion in Hardcore may be skewing this number up; Next closest is Grid Hopper with 906 completions)
- The least completed very hard map is Warped II, with 28 completions. (Next closest very hard map is Four Elements Air, with 33 completions)
About the server:
- Hardcore is currently on version 10.1; HC consists of a 15 level gauntlet with 21 maps used in its design. The final level remains unchanged from 2010.
- The peak player count averages between 50 to 80 players on any given day.
- There are currently 44 members on the staff team.
- The spawn currently in use is the Ice Palace, designed by Chayos.
- The server has 3 major realms - Zero (The original survival map), Theta (The creative realm), and Delta (The survival realm)
- Delta has been wiped once; This was prompted by the release of 1.16 - The Nether Update.
- Ajdj123321 has been the current server host for 5.5 years.
Be sure to keep an eye out over the next several days - We've got a lot planned for this weekend!
