This April will mark the 5th Anniversary of the server, and we are going to be running some special events throughout the month to celebrate!
Each event will have rewards for winners that will be given out at the end of the month. Continue reading below for more information!
Week 1 - A Return to The Beginning:
The first of the anniversary events will be Survival Games!
- An almost week long SG event will start March 30, 12:30 PM (Eastern Time), and run until April 5, 1:30 PM (Eastern Time).
- We will temporarily reset the SG leaderboards for this event, and whoever gets the most SG wins during this period will get some rewards!
- We'll also be running a proper SG tournament that I will stream Sunday the 12th for US timezones (exact date TBA).
Week 2 - The "Nostalgia" SMP:
The second anniversary event will be a return to the OG-SMP from May of 2021, its first ever month!
- The second week of April, we will open up a separate SMP gamemode, containing the spawn and market of the first ever season of the OG-SMP!
- This SMP will run until the end of the month, with a few special events throughout, like an end fight and a big server spawn fight!
- This SMP will have a worldborder of about 10k in each direction, and a bunch of old features the SMP used to have (1.8 combat, rep punishments and sign admin shops)!
- All dates will be announced closer to its release.
Week 3 - UHC's:
The third anniversary event beginning Sunday the 12th of April, will be the week of UHC's!
- Everyday, 1 or 2 UHC's will be run throughout this week (make sure to get the events role on discord which we will ping for this!)
- We may throw in some UHC's with different scenarios, and even a teams UHC!
- I will also be streaming a big 2 man teams UHC event Sunday the 19th.
Week 4 - Challengers:
And finally, the fourth anniversary event beginning Monday the 20th of April, and lasting until the end of that week will be a Challengers event!
- Similar to the SG event, we will temporarily reset everyones stats for the week, and whoever gets the most wins, points and kills, will get some special rewards
- I'll probably also do a challengers stream sometime towards the end of that week as well.
SPECIFIC TIMES AND DATES FOR THE EVENTS WILL BE ANNOUNCED ON DISCORD, CLOSER TO WHEN THE EVENTS BEGIN.
Some final words from me:
OG-Network has come a long way since April of 2021 when the server began. The server is essentially completely different now compared to what is once was, and has changed its goal and even identity entirely. The road to where the server now is today has been a bumpy one thats for sure, the server has seen a lot of ups and just as many downs, and has had its controversial moments and MANY discord arguments. But ultimately, today the server is the most successful its ever been, not only in terms of player popularity and activity, but also monetarily. And thats allowed us the past year to really expand our team, release more frequent updates and do so much more.
OG-Network is no longer just a server run by myself, Fancy and Flip. It's now a server with small dedicated teams to each gamemode, which with the help of Eric, Joe, Jack, Triton and MANY others, actually has the potential to be something that sticks around for a very long time. And despite how much the server has changed and deviated from its original (and unrealistic) goal, I honestly could not be happier with how things are now. If you had asked me in 2021, especially at times when the server was seeing barely any players, after SG, the SMP and even Challengers had essentially died, if I thought the server would still be here 5 years later, I'm not sure if I would have said yes. So the fact that we are still here today, and are also the most successful we've ever been, really gives me lots of confidence for the next 5 years and into the future!
There's a lot more I could say here (and maybe even a potential video), but to keep it brief, OG-Network has been one of, if not the most interesting projects I've ever had the pleasure of being involved with, and I feel like this year is really the year where all our hard work is finally paying off (I mean, even factions is just about to release!). So thank you to everyone, especially the players, for making this server and community one of the most interesting and unique I've ever been apart of.
