+# Legacy
+
+## Season 1
+
+!!! Failure "Crash"
+    Unfortunately all of the files for this server were lost when the server had a catastrophic failure.
+
+This was the second or third server network that I had ever hosted, however I really don't consider the first ones before this to have been anything more than just some server to mess around with. This was the first time that I had built a server network to actually invite people on and keep around for an extended time. We had a hub, a survival server and a creative server and if I recall correctly we were on game version 1.12.2.
+
+Unfortunately my backup strategies at this time were lacking to say the least which resulted in the total loss of the server when the only drive in it failed.
+
+## Season 2
+
+Upgrades people, upgrades! This was the next iteration of the server, this time on actual server hardware! Two disks in a RAID this time in case one failed, and a better backup strategy. This server started and ended with Minecraft 1.16.5 because of the changes and how annoyed we had been with the release of 1.17.X. We had a Survival server and a Creative server on this network, no hub to be found. There were two different join addresses that you could use to get to it, `survival.oldaddress.tld` and `creative.oldaddress.tld`.
+
+## Season 3
+
+Upgrades again! More new server hardware, went all out on this one, Ryzen7-5700G, 64GB of RAM, 2TB HDDs, 2 boot SSDs. Mind you this server did a lot more than just the Minecraft servers though. This was great for a while and we started and ended with Minecraft 1.18.2 for this version. Unfortunately we never really got into it as much as I would have liked and with a sour taste still in our mouths from Mojang doing their thing, we kinda fell away from it. I lost interest and closed up shop for what I though was the last time. I regretted this for a while.
+
+## And so on...
+
+Season 4, Midnight Valley.
+
+So here we are, on my current version of my server network. One of the things I hated most when I closed the old servers was that I had lost everyone's builds, and since I had thought that I also lost all the files, I didn't have a way to offer the world to the players that I had.
+
+Because of those things, this time around I ame making a point to try and do this right. Multiple moderators, hopefully multiple administrators, proper 3-2-1 backups, world downloads available via this website, and more. I plan to keep this server around properly this time, and I am hoping that I can do better by everyone.
+
+## Play legacy!
+
+!!! Tip "Seasons 2 and 3 recovered!"
+    I recently found a copy of this server exactly as it was on its very last day. I was digging through some old boxes of stuff and found a hard drive that I labeled "ARCHIVE DO NOT FORMAT", I found a lot of other things on it other than the server too which was nice to find.
+
+To join use the command `/server season{2|3}` from any of our other servers.
+
+Both servers have been recovered and put in service. The server software is the latest version available of Paper for 1.16.5 (Including Log4J patch) and 1.18.2. I am planning on keeping these servers around as long as there is interest for them.
