MCGamer Timeline
•Servers were made-April 12 2012
•Forums-April 15 2012
MCSG beta
•Simple PvP that included combat with mobs. Picaxes, axes, and shovels could all be found in chests. Only melee weapons and the bow used in combat.
Leaderboard Reset to the end of summer 2012
Similar to above, but no more picaxes found in chests and flint and steel comes into use. Various figures take the stage as the best PvPers, such as OMGjustin, 3crowns, Blamph, SixZoSeven, muffinbeaner, and more. Strafing and clicking speed becomes more recognized as important during this time. Block hitting used rarely and heavily criticized.
Summer of 2012 to the fall of 2012
The Breeze Island and SG 4 era. These two maps played overwhelmingly and PvP started to expand to include the fishing rod and more effective use of the flint and steel, probably because of the small size of these two maps.
June 2012-LeafyGreenTea youtube video.
Fall of 2012 to the end of MCSGv1
Several new maps added, such as Teweran, Kharmunrah, and SG Ruins. PvP becomes slower paced as more players adopt defensive tactics popularized by egrodo. 180 bow shots, choke points, offensive flint and steel, and blocking arrows popularized. Fishing rod tactic becomes well known among all serious players.
MCSGv2 to April 2013
Period with greatest disparities between players of different skill. For better players, this was probably one of the easiest times to win. Gravey4rd takes control of the top of the leaderboards and hit 1,000 wins. Hiqhlights popularized as best US player while Elgoldo and Noahsailer pioneer creative flint and steel tactics. The abundance of food, armor, diamond, and tier two chests makes MCSG far more PvP based, causing importance to be placed on statistics. Mobs and survival aspect removed.
April 2013 to October 2013
Increased importance and popularity of clans. Summer brings an abundance of new maps and inflation of points and wins. Increased value placed on equipment and ping in combat, rather than skill. Fist glitch seen as major annoyance. Youtubers become much more common. BajanCanadian left.
October 2013 to May 2014
Sprint key added and many new, important features. PvP becomes more connection based. Leaderboards start to be declared too inflated, with too many wins. Offensive flint and steel perfected by many, as Huahwi gains popularity. The common MCSGer becomes knowledgeable about all aspects of PvP. Much of the aging community leaves. Leaderboards explode in terms of wins, with players with over 1,000 wins becoming a regular occurrence. Limits of PvP possibilities declared found by many. Hacker explosion on EU begins. Massive increase in teams seen globally. Trash talk becomes commonplace. AS removed. Factions got removed.
May 2014 to September 2014
"The Great Youtuber Disaster"; Several major, famous youtubers leave. Community doomsday sentiment begins. Frustration with staff, teams, hackers, etc... cause many people to leave or move on. Other games begin to partially overshadow and interlock with the MCG community. AntVenom Merge announced. Livestreams gain popularity.
September 2014 to MCGv2
Return of several youtubers. Excitement and argument over the leaderboard reset cause possible tryharding. Greater percentage of players play on US. Community drawn somewhat closer together. Livestreams further popularized.
The Month Of October - A wild Nirmit appeared on the forums.
MCGv2
The Tribute Times-October 2014
Several gamemodes added, two extra leaderboards added, as well as several other important new features.

Much of this is just my own observations, opinions, and what I remember, so don't expect me to be completely correct.

I like the timeline idea! I could recommend having more people adding more information to make the history timeline even bigger. c:
I wonder when people started recognizing Mooclan and BitoBain as good forumers. :3

About a week ago.

EDIT: Seriously though, Mooclan - probably 2+ years, and BitoBain, about a month? I don't really know him :3

I think it could possibly need some working on, but it is a great base for a great thread in the making. Looking forward to seeing this thread go a long way!

Like others have said though, maybe you can possibly plan ahead and set the dates for the Update that is coming soon and even possibly other events that you can research to see when they are happening. EG; The next 'Deception Games' etc.
