Draft:2b2t (server)

TwoBuildersTwoTools, or "2b2t" for short, is the oldest anarchy server in the Minecraft video game, and the fourth oldest server in all of Minecraft. The current map has been active since December 2010 without a single reset and it is worth over +4000 GB of memory and has been hosted in Stockholm, Sweden for its entire history. ^[1] The real name of 2b2t's creator is unknown, but his in game username is Hausemaster. Later a player named Georgebush420 became a co-owner. Being an anarchy server, 2b2t has no rules. Griefing (destroying sombody's build without permission) is allowed. So are exploits/hacked clients. There are three official contacts of 2b2t (all owned by Hausemaster and Georgebush420) : 2b2t.org, the 2b2t subreddit, and the official 2b2t email (2b2t.org@gmail.com). There is also an unnoficial 2b2t wiki.

History

In December 2010 Hausemaster created 2b2t. At this time, there were around twenty to fifty people actively playing, with fewer than 10 online at any given time.

During 2012 many users from the Video game forum Facepunch Studios started joining 2b2t. This led to unrest in several old players, because the "facepunchers" were starting to outnumber the original players. At this time there were around twenty to eighty players actively playing.

2013-2015 was considered by many the golden age of 2b2t. People formed groups and alliances. During this time, 2b2t was hacked and backdoored many times. Between fifteen and fifty people were on at any given time.

2016-present is often called "The Youtube War", or "The Rusher War". On June first, 2016, a youtuber known as TheCampingRusher started a series about 2b2t. This led to many fans joining the server. The original players of 2b2t were disgruntled, fearing a second facepunch-like era. The old players assembled together, and dubbed themselves "team veteran", and declared war on "team rusher". FitMC, a 2b2t youtuber since 2013 and leader of team veteran, pointed out that the sudden influx of new players caused massive lag, and that rusher fans had no respect for historic monuments of the server. ^[2] More youtubers now publish content about 2b2t, causing more and more players to join. Hausemaster and Georgebush420 had to temporarily replace the map in order to upgrade 2b2t's hardware so it could handle the stress of the massive amount of players. ^[3]
