History of ShockNetwork

Feb 8, 2012

Where it all began...

It all started with a little server by the name of Swarlocraft. Swarlocraft was created by drtshock, Jsfreeman7, and Smashdude, because he was sick of other servers he played on, and he wanted a place where him and a few friends could play and have fun.

The first change of events.

drtshock was a developer for NovaFactions/LegacyRaid for about 5 months now. Scrappy, as he was known came to drtshock in hopes that the two of them would be able to build a new server together. After a few days of work, out came what began Obdurocraft.
