raise a glass to those of us who left and to those who will carry the legacy forward, i appreciate this love letter to the community armegon :)

[@MqryoPacks]

speaking from the pack community: i've been here since 2015, and i've seen hundreds of people fade away, many friends that have moved on from the game as a whole, talented makers quitting because the pack making meta became default town. From being in the position of being inspired by my mentors and idols to inspire new generations of players and makers is insane. Time goes on but the legacy of the legends will live forever with us awesome video my man 💙

Insanely well put together. I genuinely do hope the 'new comers' to the game can have as good of an experience as we had back in the day, we'll see where it goes. To another 10 years 🥂

[@SurfBit]

This is actually sad man, I too wish we could turn back the clock to play again like we used to years ago...

[@Rustlul]

A great era and few years we all got to experience. Im greatful for every opportunity I had and everyone I met. if i could rewing the clock as u said, i wouldve taken in the moments for what they were so much more the warm and comforting feeling of just waking up and making videos, planning out things and talking with others with same ideas... hopefully i feel this one day again.

[@Seele_and_their_Scenario]

it truly hurts when you see your friends on hypixel or any other server have quit and they're just gone you never talk or see them again, thats the case for many of my friends we talk, have fun, play games then they go away... just like that, you never see them again

[@whease]

I’ve been very grateful to watch the mc community grow and develop over the past 10 years (2014) since I started playing the game. Hopefully the future community will grow and stay strong as the past were once.

[@poohfps]

Hi bestie

[@VinnyUnion]

[@KompadoodleLEL]

[@Bilbys]

I miss that feeling I had when I got on Hypixel with all my friends late 2020 and we'd just play bedwars for fun, not for finals, stats, or anything like that.

[@Skyalways_1]

it’s been like 2 year since i quit and looking back it was a very good memory to have just logging on with friend and just enjoying a game but sometimes you gotta move on in life,sadly.

[@Jair]

As someone who was very active during the covid era and blew up during that time, one of the things that made the game so enjoyable for me was not necessarily the game itself, but how much content there was about the game. There were hundreds of channels of all sizes releasing their own style of videos and there were tons of different communities to explore. The game goes through ups and downs naturally. Another example of this was in 2018 when PewDiePie started to play this game again and it had a huge surge in players.Back then, Hypixel was competing with Mineplex to be the #1 server. Then, Hypixel blew up and had 100k players almost daily. I expect there to be another peak some time in the future and it'll be interesting to see what new gamemodes exist.

[@_nubsterr]

now i have to be honest, im kind of "new" to pvp, but i'm from the very early beta days of minecraft, and you're right, people like NotNico have quit, and i miss these people who have quit.

[@GuyMockYT]

this is actually a really emotional video for me too even though I have been in the community for only 4 years.... awesome video

[@ochill]

And that's life! You yearn to relive the memories of the past, but they're never going to be the same as the you from 10 years ago is wildly different. What matters the most is that you experience those memories and remember them fondly!!! Time will always move on whether you like it or not anyways. Speaking as someone who's experienced a lot on Hypixel, things will never be the same- and that's okay. I'll still end up looking back at these years with nostalgia!

[@Armegon]

Yessirrr

[@swayaep]

to be honest i really miss the good days of playing bedwars with friends, trying to drag click, watching trycs and bedlessnoob videos, and its sad to see all of that go away and see many of these people leave the community. W video bro.

[@shanechenmusic]

The Hypixel friends list being mostly offline is so relatable

[@asadplays7531]

armegon this really brought me back to the old 2021 bedwars days where every one would from all around the world would play hypixel bedwars now almost everyone of them has quit this really brought me back! But you can not do anything about it as things come and go :)

[@ahan5833]

What really sealed it in for me was Stampylonghead quitting. That man was the one that got me into this game nearly 10 years ago and it was heartbreaking to see such a cornerstone of the community stop making his definitive type of content. We all grow up and change I guess, but the people who had been with us since our childhood are now gone; DanTDM, Captain Sparklez, TheSyndicateProject, now Stampy as well as many other OG creators. You mentioned mainly the creators during lockdown and in the PVP scene but I think this 'mass death' has spread beyond just the past few years, it's killed off most of the creators who've been with minecraft since day 1 too. All we can hope for is that the kids who start playing the game now have creators with the same level of talent for entertainment and integrity as most of ours did.

[@Armegon]

I know quite a few of the current creators of today personally. I’ve got faith in them.

[@mocha5483]

after returning to this video this makes me want to cry and never stop

[@matthewmok4474]

Thanks for letting me see those names again, my childhood memories.

[@bosessellerie8227]

I think the same way with one exception. I dont want to let that old 1.8 community go. Ive got sooo many awesome memorys... From long forgotten servers or old friends i used to know. Sometimes i think about what awesome time i had back then. I realy miss Bananaboss1000 and Eicheachat22798. I love these guys

[@BladeHart1]

Change happens, but happiness can always be found. While I look back at the good ol days as you might say, I do miss that community that once was. I also truly do wish that some of those amazing content creators would come back, you never know maybe it will happen. However, in all this I also have found a community of other players and friends who are truly amazing and I am glad to say I know them. This community is different to find and be in for each player, but when it is found it is amazing. To anyone reading this without that community, keep searching you will find it and you will love it. Great job on this video Aremgon, plow on.

[@jdraiby]

[@kbm0709edits]

You know, it is nuts. A lot has changed. I was very young when it was first released, and I have very vivid memories of me and my siblings and dad at 6pm playing the tutorial world over, and over. I miss it😢😢😢😢

[@godlessnoob]

I played and grinded this game for 6 years of my life becuase of how much i loved it. I had many people say i am very "cringe" for playing minecraft for no reason, but i didnt care. Minecraft has been the best block game i have ever played, awesome video armegon ;)

[@cambrons]

Since everyone else is doing it, I may as well jump on the hype train. Yo, I'm Cambron. I've gone through 26 usernames, I played InDev pocket edition when I was 5 years old, and Minecraft has a special place in my heart. I was here before the hunger bar, sprinting, and just about everything you can think of. To think that saying "I'm getting old" would work in the context of an 18 year old whos got his whole life ahead of him is interesting to say the least. As much as it sucks to admit it, the new generation has surpassed me. I used to be unstoppable in the pvp scene, but like Armegon said, everyone has to pass the torch down to the next generation at some point. I did that without realizing it. I bought my 10 year old cousin a copy of Minecraft Java Edition for his birthday last year and ever since then he sends me updates and posts on his youtube channel all the time. I'll be honest, he's trash, but seeing how proud he is of everything he does makes it really cool. He can't wait to show me everything when I see him twice a year. To think that I have college to worry about now is wild, because I used to live and die for this game. Honest to God I wish I was able to experience the 2013-2017 pvp era. All in all, I'm glad I was able to experience what I did. I met so many great people here on Minecraft and I built relationships I wouldn't have been able to have otherwise. Cheers to the future!

[@hwelp]

I still remember when i used to watch people like preston who was a parkour god and dantdm doing mod reviews. It was truly a time to be alive. I guess i am kinda sad that people like preston had decided to do different content for attention but change is inevitable and i can only hope for the best

[@Modifyings]

As a former 1.8.9 vet that moved to newer versions, so many people just come and go. Covid was probably the best and worst time of my life. It’s sad to see newer generations will never feel what we felt. But this simple game is advancing, and we can’t stop it. We just gotta embrace it.

[@SoFarAlongYT]

I was playing this game during the pandemic, and while the world out side suffered the world in the game was thriving and was truly one of my favorite memories while gaming....

[@gawk...]

Crazy how different three years can make. I remember playing bedwars and ranked bedwars during covid, fighting sweats every game, and it seems they all disappeared. All the friends I found through lobby 1 haven't been active for a long time, I wonder how they're doing now.

[@oglaze]

hi. i am a 14 year old 1.8.9 youtuber that is trying to bring back this community. i stream every day and truly do realize that this is a game where there is a cap on growth, but i have gotten almost 40 people (that i know of) into the game and i make sure to stop toxicity whenever i can (i am not trying to advertise in any way, just thought i would comment this. have a nice day cya!

[@Lumidon]

I used to be into the clutch community and it hurts me as I realised the other day that everyone in it has quit. Same goes for skywars: it’s averaging less and less players

[@Echo-jf8rf]

During the pandemic I pretty much only played minecraft lol, and even though it wasn't 10 years ago, meeting other people on hypixel was one of the most fun I've had in a long time. I'm still in touch with those people but it just feels distant, a few days ago I logged on to hypixel again and it reminded me of all the great times I had on the server. thank you for making this video Armegon

[@ImAhmadAbdullah]

I've been playing Minecraft since 1.12.2 came out, and I this video made me feel so nostalgic.

[@cantcommunicate]

covid period was the minecraft prime era man i miss the conversations about the best mouse, best bridging method and i cant believe 3/4 years has passed so quickly

[@pleasah]

Absolutely beautiful. Glad to have met you Armegon. Keep it up

[@Loktuzov]

I didn't get to play multiplayer until 2021. I just got to the point where I could could be considered somewhat good at 1.8, and now the community is dying. All the PvP methods I just perfected are dying. It's been so sad to watch all of the bedwars youtubers move on. All of the years I spent watching UHC, and hunger games, and hcf and I was too late to play them. Now it's a new type of pvp. I'm sure in 10 years when crystal, sky battle, and battle box are dying, I'll look back like you did. I'm glad that I was able to be a part of the bedwars and skywars scene for the short time that I was. I hope that the new PvP scene is just as influential.

[@landengoodner9841]

"There is nothing permanent except change.” -Heraclitus. I wish I could turn back the clock for Minecraft but I can't. The community in the past was sooo memorable. (Popularmmos, Bedless noob, and so many others ) It will be one thing that I will never forget. Minecraft is a game that is over a decade old, and the community is still quite large. We are so fortunate that this game is still here for all to enjoy. Now kids today are making the memories that we made when we were kids. Let's help them and encourage them. Whether as KZbinrs or just friends. Who's with me?

[@piecofiron]

As someone who quit Minecraft, this truly made my cry inside. Just knowing that I used to play the game makes me cry internally. Although I am not coming back, I will always love Minecraft as it is, as the game that created my childhood.

[@bird_seedy5810]

it's crazy i get recommended this video right after quitting the only thing that was holding me back to minecraft, only reason why i came back still was to play hypixel's skyblock for not even half a hour, spent 3 years in the mode and 3k+ hours total but just last week i quit and don't plan on touching minecraft for a bit

[@truffletaylorsversion]

I love this. I would consider myself a part of the old MC generation (the latter part), and even I've moved on. I almost started crying, its so beautiful. Thank you for showing me that at least one of the old members of the community still looks back at the game.

[@ZeroTwoWaifu]

this was a wonderful ride to share with you all... until next time o7

[@mautrxshu8901]

I just grew up in mcpvp when I was 13, Im about to my 19's now, my life complety changed, Just played a bit of skywars, when the nostalgia hits me at this hour (12:30 am) i found your video, it makes me cry.. The hours, friends, servers and games that I used to play are in silent, no one makes a noise, no one hackusates other people, everyone is just.. Playing and enjoying..

[@germantrycs]

today u cant play and enjoy cuz its full with hackers

[@TrustMM2]

Bro this made me cry, your such a relatable people because I started playing minecraft when I was 2, and i always think about playing on my Xbox 360- Xbox 1. It use to be so simple and fun, now since I don’t have a computar, I play Eaglercraft “a free minecraft 1.8” every day ❤😢

[@seanchen708gaming]

I'm actually going to cry because of this video.I can not believe that this community that we grew up with has turned into this. All of our inspirations, friends, content creators....etc. has just left. And it is sad just seeing the community falling into oblivion slowly and slowly. W video man

[@Codm.player34]

It isnt just Minecraft, this is happening for almost every Online game

[@ItzLukee]

I loved this community and all the players, content creators, and even the friends I met. I would love to experience it once again with either Minecraft, a new game, or just life in general, but I know this memory will never fade because I met my best friend through this game. This video was well put together like always, and I'm glad you managed to come to terms with the closure of an era that signified many of our lives.

[@aSuperPi.]

It’s quite crazy how the era you were talking about in the video died so quickly. It was doing well for maybe the year of 2021 but as soon as late 2021/2022 hit the entire community just started to vanish. It’s kind of sad I feel like it could have gone on longer but just didn’t.

[@packofchipz]

Really nice video! I think I can count myself to the new generation since I am playing Minecraft only for 1 year now but I really enjoy it and I really hope that this wonderful game will always have lots of poeple to play with.

[@blqzr3043]

Been playing since 2014 it really is crazy how many people have come and gone throughout the community.

[@poosch]

this is awsome. ive been playing minecraft pvp for a while now and peaked at 2020 - early 2022. it seems so weird, something that i put in so much time to try and get good at, just seems so funny to me now. i saw many friends i met on minecraft come and go so thank you for making this video, thank you for reminding me about the game where i made long lasting friendships, and also experience my lowest moments and higest. thank you Armegon

[@mariesrail]

It’s insane how the beloved block game called Minecraft is still active but it’s not the same😢

Thank you so much for making this video, I sometimes go back on your hitsync videos every once in awhile to remind myself what once way, but this made me realize that we’re the same as before just different people and places, its helped me cherish everyone I know and love now way more rather than being stuck on the past

[@PhantomBaka]

I will forever miss the old Minecraft, the lucky block series from ssundee and so much more. Even the potpvp community was so different back then, when people like verzide, vitapvp and more played actively.. Yes they were toxic, but honestly that was a part of the community back then and was what kept it alive and as interesting as it was… Joining PvP teams and making team montages, team tournaments. Teams such as ovo and nsg practically made 2 years of my life when I was younger. I will forever be grateful for that.

[@MyNameIsntGecko]

Ive been trying to figure out how to make a video like this for a while, but i couldnt quite write a script that would work. You my friend, have captured the very feeling I was trying to grasp. Thank you Armegon for this, this was really amazing to watch.

[@Imfamousdark]

You can hear him.. when he talks… so real.. I agree..

[@ahelexs]

hypixel and quarantine went hand in hand bro. I met so many amazing people to see myself stop playing after 3 years!

[@aeterna_]

I've been here for definitely quite long time 12 years or so, the game truly feels different back then. I noticed how the old era of pvp slowly dying, i do feel sad about it as it's the pvp/mechanics of game i grew up with. I remember how i used to despise 1.9+ pvp, bur now looking back at 1.7/1.8 community slowly dying i feel like it's not a bad thing for me to feel changes in the way how i used to play the game. And yeah, surely the experience i've felt on these version i hate and i despise so much wasn't that bad. I enjoyed it very much and so i guess this is the future, a change.

[@zayd162]

You still got ur memories, and you'll continue to make more, you evolve along with the game.

Wow, this made me think about every big creator and Community I have seen rise and fall over the years. Now, I just watch one big german creator who continues to entertain me with Minecraft content, but my time playing and participating in these big Communities is definitely over, especially since he doesnt really play on Servers. Thank you so much, Great Video!

As someone who witnessed hundreds of youtubers, communities and even my friends its pretty sad to see them go but all i can do is move on to the next chapter of my life. Thank you pvp community for giving me an incredible 3 years i will never forget yall

Well said Armegon, you may feel that the game isnt same but there are people who just got the game :D

[@Overlordette]

I just hopped on the Twilight Forest discord and talked to some of the mod devs apparently they cant update their mod because not only do their real life jobs not pay them enough to let them have the time to update said mod, but its also because modding in general wouldn't pay them enough to let them work on what they want to do for said mod full time this is the same mod with the Hydra and the Ur Ghast btw

[@Harpoon81]

A game I grew up with and truly fell in love with will always have a special place in my heart as one of my true passions. The days where I would get on to either play my favourite SMP or Hypixel with people I met online are long gone, and nothing else will ever match my love for Minecraft. I recently tried going back, but the toxic side of these new-comers pushed me away, which reminded me how innocent we all used to be. Thank you for this tribute to this beautiful game we all loved, and to the future of it. 🥂

[@FrostyyMC_]

I've only been playing mc since late 2019. I wish I was able to appreciate the golden age of hypixel more during covid. This was an amazing video

[@prettycow1553]

Really nostalgic, I've gone through quite a few communities inside mc in my time, but I've found home with the bridge playes. Bridge is kinda different from most gamemodes, since even tho the top players are completely isnane, the skill ceiling is so high to the point that it's easy to find places for them to improve.

[@ske1t928]

I have been here since 2017 i agree from seeing the community being so dead when its literaly almost been 3 years. Take uhc 1.8 as example it was still alive in 2021 and 2022 and a little bit of 2023 but jsut a small community and many quit. but now hypixel uhc on has 0 or just some players online. Its sad because it was a amazing gamemode throwing away the fact that there was bhoppers every were, Hoplite is so nostlagic for me because of that reason. I started of as a potpver and now i play hoplite, its sad seeing 1.8 pvp fade off and so much stuff has died like soup, debuff, and hcf.

[@hadithelegend3358]

this honestly hurts ngl like i'm happy for you to have had the time and memories man

[@Gingivere]

letting go is always so hard, but passing on is so much better

[@wubbydux708]

This video is so well made. The only way this community can revive again is with new gamemodes and hypixel fixing their anticheat hitreg and add proxies, imo if hypixel did these things it would bring so many players back, But honestly its just a thought hypixel will never do it

[@highpingsux]

This is a very well done and beautiful video, and it reflects a lot of my feelings about it. I played mostly from 2017-2022, and honestly I really miss it, I don't talk to my friends there anymore, and none of us really play the game It also feels like the youtube side of it has changed, a lot of the creators of our time turn to different types of content, and some flat out quit Even though I don't play it anymore, minecraft will always have been an important era of my life To the future 🍻

[@geometrydashgrinder37]

I will help with the change in this community, hopefully for the better. :)

[@astelevey]

I've been around in minecraft for over 10 years, but the community that I've seen the entirety of is build battle on hypixel. I resonate with what you've said for that community alone. It started of as something fun, something casual, something big youtubers made videos on and we had fun building. There wasnt much a community, but we were still connected with ideas. Ffw to 2017-2019, a community started to grow, with 2019-2020 being the peak of new metas, pushing the limits, rivalries, grinding, drama, friendship, content creation. This was the build battle that made me fall in love with the game again. Over time, it became less and less, with most og players leaving, all content creation dying, and new strats not being talked about. There was nothing to discuss anymore, the game got stale. 2022 was probably the worst year for it, bb as a community felt really dead. 2023 has made a recovery, with the rise in newgen popularity with guess the build, I've come back and learnt all these amazing new people in the scene and the new metas they've pushed to the limits. While the main build battle modes may be empty, this small pocket is thriving, theres competition and grinding again, multiple guilds, and a reason to grind the game again. It's not what I grew up with back in 2015 onwards, it's not what made me fall in love with the game in 2019, but still seeing a part of the game live on, and me being able to continue playing the same minigame after 8 years is worth something.

[@Armegon]

Damn I didnt even know there was a BB comm, that’s honestly crazy.

[@astelevey]

@@Armegon there's a community for every game on hypixel. Even the small arcade games like hole in the wall hold 100 or so people in its discord server. it's not a lot, but it's enough.

Facts

[@Ihavekibou]

Dude tbh it's a miracle this block game is alive even a decade later. The fact that so much has changed since then is crazy, Hive disbanded Era of Mineplex Hypixel bw era Lunar bunkers 😝 Sm more It's crazy to think this game will probably still remain alive for another decade probably.
