When did you join Minecraft?

[mewtwo]

I was just wondering what time you joined minecraft.

 

I joined in around July 2012. I didn't really joined. My friend Richie quit minecraft and gave his account: richie8909mia.

I started playing just after 1.2.5 came out.

[Valkon]

Some time during the alpha. Can't remember exactly when, but if I remember correctly it was something like the August before the first Halloween update (when the Nether was added to the game).

Around July of 2011.

I'm not sure when it was, but I started on 1.3 Beta

[planetguy]

I started with Beta 1.7 myself.

[Richs_Yard]

alpha 1.2.9 i believe 

[theprolo]

I think it was around Beta 1.3. Good, buggy ol' times!

It took me until 1.1 to try out modding, though...

Beta 1.2

[Toparis]

I think it was in late 2010 or early 2011 (Can't recall the version). I was in medical school and would come home from spending 12-14 hours in anatomy lab and sit down to play for a few hours while watching youtube in the background.

I can remember, being such a noob, my first Redstone contraption was trying to get double doors to open simultaneously with a button. Still can't manage to get it right, lol.

It's pretty amazing how far things have come in Mincraft. Wish I had more time to invest in it.

About the time 1.2.3 was released.

Man, it looked soo innovative then..

Sometime before May 2011 (That was my first multiplayer server - no monsters, damage and items could be dropped onto the ground to make them forget their durability - you could repair a pick by dropping and picking it up again).

 

I didn't save my first world as it was super embarassing - it was a snow world (so it was after snow was added, though there weren't biomes - the whole world was snow or not), without anyone to explain things to me and no wiki I had nearly everything built out of dirt.  Discovering the crafting bench and shovels were amazing, I discovered picks too, but not a furnace or chests so the base stayed pretty limited.  Steps down to the mine were made out of stone slabs (which used cobblestone back then) as there weren't stairs and I'm not sure I'd have found them if there were.

 

Discovering doors blew my mind.

 

After that, there was a wiki and things were easy

[freakachu]

early beta I believe.  just a bit before survival multiplayer was a thing.

[Roversword]

About two month before it went beta...bought four accounts and gifted three to friends...addiction ensued

[Kocken926]

Pirated it for a while and played in alpha, and then bought it in early beta 3-4 years ago when I got my Visa.

[Doomzzday01]

I started 4-5 (?) year ago, not sure what version but I remember being excited about snow golems coming out.

[Stop mocking me0]

I started after the last episode of the Shadow of Israphel was released.

Early June, 2010, infdev, around the time when doors and signs were added, it was the best thing ever

around 2011

I love how the longer the thread goes on the further back in time people started

 

Are people trying to one-up one another, or are people just less willing to put up a more recent date?  You should all be aware that if you put a date before I started on here then I'll be using this thread to find you if I need tech support!

 

 

In all seriousness congrats on picking a winner during infdev, Saw - I hated minecraft back in those versions and thought it'd never be something anyone was interested in (oops.).
