What are your thoughts on the new spawn? In one word:
“Futuristic. I like it because it’s big, but everything is right next to you...first PVP arena that I don’t constantly lag out.”

How do you feel about Halo coming back?
“Looking forward to it. It’s fun. Original. Upholds player count. Usually has lots of players so it’s always good to play.”

What’s your favorite part of Meepcraft?
“It’s a combination of being here for a long time, knowing a lot of people, it being a well moderated towny server, and not barren; there’s active players and an overall unique experience.”
