Migration to Uneasy Vanilla
Before joining Uneasy Vanilla, ostrich1414 had spent over 10,000 hours across eight years on another similar semi-anarchy Minecraft server, known as SimPvP. He had become well-engrained in this server's culture, even becoming admin for a while, but SimPvP's charm was beginning to wear thin; he felt as though the server was entering an immense decline due to an increase in toxicity and questionable new arrivals, as well as the departure of many of his longtime friends and allies. Thus, by October 2021, ostrich1414 felt that it was time to move on and find a new server, much like SimPvP, to migrate to and spend an ungodly amount of time on.

On October 17th, 2021, ostrich1414 and willowienal, another SimPvP player disillusioned by the server, decided to search for new semi-anarchy servers to join. Willowienal eventually came across Uneasy Vanilla, prompting the two players to check it out. After only a short time playing on it, ostrich1414 instantly fell in love with the server's culture and theme, as well as the many benefits it had over SimPvP (no protected spawn, enabled TNT duping, etc.). After establishing a small underground starter base only a few thousand blocks away from spawn, ostrich1414 and willowienal began to invite many of their SimPvP friends to the server, of which many would soon arrive. Eventually, the players TheMustacheKing, LidGuy, and AntHand would meet them at this starter base, and once everybody was geared, they would move on to a much further location.



Traveling along the nether highway tens of thousands of blocks out, the five players eventually settled on a new spot inside of an amethyst geode, where they established a new, albeit very temporary spot, to gear up. However, at this location, ostrich1414 primarily focused on recruiting more ex-SimPvP players to Uneasy Vanilla, working to bring them from spawn to the geode base. Soon, ostrich1414 was bringing several new players to the server each day, traveling to and from spawn and helping gear them up for the long trek to the new location. All the while, ostrich1414 and his friends would work to establish alliances with several UV regulars, even receiving free aid from some of them--most notably pdxb3, Oztin, SuccForVBucc, and HazMattMC. Nevertheless, this small amethyst geode base was beginning to get too crowded and unsecure, and the growing population of SimPvP refugees, especially ostrich1414 himself, decided to move out of the base in search for a new spot to reside, where they could focus more on self-sufficiency and establishing themselves.
