Since we're sharing our stories, here's mine
It started back in 2009 i guess, not sure.
My father had bought me and my 2 brothers (JayZen and Desje) a pc.
My dad installed sof on our pc's and the 4 of us used to play custom LAN free for all games on maps like Uk_Castle which was very fun
So then me and my brothers started playing CTF in Young Boys Old Boys server, which was very popular at the time
I was 12 or something back then and I tried to get admin there since I was very active, but I never got it, Desje managed to get B-Admin tho.
After a while I got bored of the server and I discovered H&S. I remember the first time ever i think it was in RPM server the map was HK1 boat map and i tried so hard going to the fireworks that came off the dropped M4 and RPG and trying to pick it up on the bottom of the water next to the boat. I was confused as fuck as i coulndt pick it up (i was a seeker) so i kept dying and actually thought that h&s was a stupid mode.
Around the same time as me jayzen and desje also played on RPM and after a while i got the hang of the mechanics and asked ppl to explain etc.
I really liked H&S and i was so addicted playing hours everyday.
Back in that time seekers used to have only 1 F1 nade, 3 box nades and 1 personal nade, no boost nades (which i still vouch for)
The seekers were mostly very skilled as were the hiders and it actually took way more skill/luck to win rounds. Basically it was way more challenging to win a round/map and winning felt more rewarding imo. I remember at some point seeker highscores on a map were 100+ kills. The community was very active and server was very busy and at some point max 32 players and i couldn't join until someone left the server.
I met many people there, mostly dutch people, back then there were more players from other countries like estonia and poland and holland instead of egys
Eventually there were a couple of other servers, like Xtreme and some i dont remember the names. In Xtreme i met many people, tried to get admin there and didnt get it.
Im not sure how it went exactly but Xtreme died and aT came along or was already there, but Steven created it and i played for a pretty long time there, i also tried to get admin but guess what, denied lol.
And then came 3D. I was looking at the server list that day and saw the 3D server, having never seen it before i joined and the map was col7. Hobbel and Ace were there and they were talking about random server stuff. I think it was day 1 of 3D but i dont remember seeing the other founder(s) that day tho.
So what did i ask Hobbel?
Admen pls lol
And he gave me S-Admin, probably cuz it was a new server and they needed active members
And from that moment on I would only play at 3D, i got to know almost everyone that has been in 3D and i've seen many people and admins come and go.
I was much active and took many breaks from then till now, i learned editing mostly from Hans van Willekom and eventually 3D died, i came back later and it got a new life and ive been enjoying my time here and i hope 3D stays alive
