My purpose is to create the ultimate unabridged and autistic timeline of 2b2t.

Sources used include:


 * The wiki itself.
 * 2b2t history videos created by FitMC and SalC1.
 * Archived data, such as old Facepunch threads.
 * /r/2b2t.
 * Anything else I can get my hands on.

This is a forever ongoing project and can be contributed to by anybody who is autistic about 2b2t history. Please note that I can not guarantee that everything on this page is 100% accurate or 100% unbiased.

2010:
December 17/20: 2b2t officially goes live on Minecraft, version Alpha 1.2.6. Precisely which date the server opened is uncertain, though December 20 appears to be the most likely date. Hausemaster and georgebush420 are the server's operators.

Late December: Spawn has already been griefed.

2011:
Between January and April: The 4channers group is formed. Early in 2b2t's history, the server was prominently advertised on 4chan, especially its /v/ and /b/ boards. During this time, approximately 70% of the 2b2t userbase originated from 4chan, while the remaining 30% consisted of an unknown distribution of Facepunch, SomethingAwful, DeviantArt, and Reddit users.

Early 2011: Hausemaster is active on the server. He teleports to random players and gives them free shit.

April 26 (approx.): Chezhead joins 2b2t and discovers the ruins of a griefed castle. He creates a small base with Mattyyy and Coolity.

April 27: At 4:57pm UTC, Chezhead advertises 2b2t on Facepunch's forums, and he becomes the leader of the brand new Facepunch Republic. Facepunchers apply for membership in this thread, including one user known as Luke2thebun. Chezhead moves out of his first base, citing proximity to spawn, and establishes Camp Facepunch, probably on the same castle ruins he had discovered.

April 28: At 12:45am UTC (approx.), a user known as mweorz attacks Camp Facepunch with the help of his hacked client. Half of the Republic (approximately ten people) are killed, as well as Chezhead's dog. The event becomes known as Greyskull's Last Stand and marks the beginning of the Facepunch War. It is later discovered that mweorz is the alt account of Luke2thebun.

Facepunchers evacuate the castle and rebuild elsewhere. Hausemaster posts the first known server stats at 6:56am UTC. There have been 8164 unique players, the map size is 9.3GB, and approximately 295 ruins have been found within thirty thousand blocks of spawn. One player has reportedly walked 150000 blocks out. Speedhackers are creating so many new chunks that the 40GB SSD that houses the server is maxing out quickly. To pay for server costs and upgrades, Facepunchers pledge to donate to Hausemaster.

The new Facepunch castle is griefed at approximately 7:45am UTC.

April 29: Chezhead leaves a memorial at the remains of Camp Facepunch: "Here lies the ruins of a proud nation, made by blood, sweat, and tears. R.I.P. Camp Facepunch. Love, Chezhead."

July: Zion is built.

July 7: Within creates the second Facepunch 2b2t thread. By now, 37856 players have joined and the map size is 29.7GB.

2012:
February: A revived Facepunch Republic is established by Phagocytic.

February 27: xcc2 captures footage of a bizarre lightning storm at Spawn. It turns out that Hausemaster was experimenting with weather. This is the first known instance of unusual lightning storms on 2b2t.

2012:
March: Construction of 2k2k begins.

April 4: Zion is raided and destroyed. It turns out that Phagocytic had given the coordinates to Zion to xarviar. Initially unaware that Phagocytic was now the leader of the Facepunch Republic and was promoting 2b2t on Facepunch, the discovery of the fact convinces him to leak the coordinates. He ends up on Phagocytic's exclusive TOTAL FUCKING FAGGOT LIST. Phagocytic moves the Facepunchers to 2k2k, which is later renamed Zion (though many still call it 2k2k).

June: The Facepunch Republic collapses roughly around this time, shortly after the completion of 2k2k.

July: 2k2k is obliterated and lavacasted.

July 20: Hausemaster creates the second known spawn lightning storm. The strikes are no longer focused precisely on 0,0 but strike all around the immediate surroundings. ComputerTechie captures footage of this storm. It is unknown if Hausemaster ever tested other lightning storms.

October: The Crystal Islands are founded by Offtopia and two unknown Australians. Offtopia invites CytotoxicTcell to help with construction.

2013:
April 29: Valkyria is founded, and construction of the base of Valkyria begins. This marks the beginning of the Age of Resurgence.

June: The First Spawn Incursion takes place. Hindejd, one of Valkyria’s first founders, suggests invading spawn, which Valkyria agrees to due to the fact that they are on version 1.4.7 and that everybody is equipped with duped armor, tools and weapons. The Valkyrians trek to spawn and kill all the Withers, then make their way to 2k2k and settle. However, after just a few days, the Valkyrians begin to separate and some pursue their own goals at the spawn. Griefers eventually locate 2k2k and a mass fight breaks out. Some Valkyrians die due to lack of PVP experience. After one week, the Incursion ends.

The publishing of the video leads many of his fans to flood into the server, causing long queues. This leads to the beginning of the Rusher War, as well as the beginning of the Age of Hype.

June 4: TheCampingRusher officially declares war on the “OGs”, the Original Gangstas, of 2b2t. Reddit user gRiNdLoRd joins 2b2t, collects supplies, and begins an expedition to (0,1000000) along the +Z Axis Highway.

Offtopia later claimed that Fit intentionally leaked the base’s coordinates, which Fit originally denied, but then later admitted he did as he had worked with Rusher to bring players to 2b2t. The original identity of the griefer remains unknown.
