The Crash Of January, 9, 2016

The story you are about to read is true. No names have been changed to protect anyone.

It was at about 4:30 AM, January 9, 2016. The WynnCraft server was acting up. Worlds were getting closed without warning and at an alarming rate. There were fewer than six operational worlds at any time. Salted arrived. He noted that it was about 5:00 AM, for him. Salted then noted that Crunkle had arrived. At approximately 5:17 AM, EDT, Salted made a request in the WynnCraft lobby. A request that I did not capture. Salted's request was to the effect that everyone in the lobby spam Crunkle with the message "We believe in you, Crunkle" so that Crunkle would have determination to fix the server. Yes, Salted called for a Spamming. In the lobby. For two minutes thereafter, there was to be seen a wall of text, as Salted had requested, along with lag of which can only be described as massive. Very massive. Yes, the Spamming was real.


At 5:19 AM, EDT, Salted reconsidered what he had done, yet he did not request that the messages besieging Crunkle were to end. However, those messages did end, shortly thereafter. Some say it was from Salted's request achieving its desired goal, the Spamming of Crunkle. Some say that it was because of Salted's next comment, further below.


At 5:25 AM, EDT, Salted said what would be prophetic. As of this report, it has lasted for the remainder of the day.

 

WE BELIVE IN YOU CRUNKLE

 

Rip wynn you will be remembered

 

A tale for the ages... Beautifully written, really captures the essence of this ongoing story.

 

When Salted says "going down," he means that Wynncraft is being relocated to the deep web. No more will we float on the fluffy clouds of the publicized public domain. We're going underground. Undercover. Incognito.

Or something like that.

 

The last words even spoken by a staff member on the WynnCraft server:

-alright we going down

-salted 2k16

 

Better hide behind more than seven proxies, kiddos, because we're about to enter the REALLY dark ages.

 

We will be landing soon, be prepared to spam as soon as we are able to login to the server, we must continue the spam

 

well shiz im not quit getting this right... wynn is down... for what particular reason?!?! is this a shut down forever or what.... cuz if it is i just can't believe it... someone clear this for me plz

 

I think there is a bug and this is the only piece of evidence I got...(twitter)...

Wynncraft (9 Hours ago)

Indeed we are down. The servers should be back up later tonight, we're on it!

 

The ship is sinking. Just make sure you fill up those life boats. Completely...

My home town, hooray!

 

Remember and never forget.

 

forget what?

 

The day of the crash, January 9th

 

rip wynncraft

 

And from the ashes of Wynncraft rises a deity that calls itself "Dungeon Realms", hell bent on becoming the dominant Minecraft MMO of the century.

 

Well, damn, rip in pieces
