My favourite time on Shotbow was a time when I played Annihilation with 2 of my brothers. We played on Coastal because that was the OG map and our favourite, and also because it was easy to get the dia block at mid. The three of us went to mid and got the diamond block after an intense fight. But what did we craft with the diamond block? A chestplate? Swords? No, we crafted 3 diamond axes and began the deconstruction of our entire base. We enchanted our axes with unbreaking and efficiency in order to break down the towers and bridges and with that, we bolstered our defenses around our base. In the end, we lost to another team full diamond, notch apples, and pot rushing us but I still had a lot of fun in that game as we got to just troll around and do what we liked.
My greatest memory was when Valleys was glitched and had diamonds in phase 1. Not many people knew about the glitch, so I was able to get a full diamond set one game before phase 2 had even started, and had such a great head start on gear that I was able to mine gold for the next few phases, fully enchanting all of my gear with level 30 enchantments by phase 5. (This was a long long time ago).
My best moments in Shotbow were when I could play in version 1.8, I lived playing on the Natures Map, one of my favorites and to this day is one of the best, doing rush with the Scout without cooldown and with strength, speed, igneous resistance. Even older moments is when I played in 1.7, where the OG Coastal rooms were 120/120 players and premium ranks guaranteed to join in full rooms and full teams, plus the OG Ghostal Map, were my best moments in shotbow Anni, moments that I will not forget from my childhood
I remember when I first got into Minez from some friends that dragged me around into all the hardest places to go and it was really fun cause we actually did the hard dungeons it really meant a lot to them but i had no clue and thought that was the difficulty of the entire game . I'm back now revisiting every now and again with the same friends who meant a lot to me during those times. It's great to see the game is still being updated!
my greatest memory was when this server had people playing and it wasnt dead as fuck as its now and back when the server had proper marketing and promotion for it!!!!!
I fondly remember when you could actually gank and overpower someone in superior gear instead of dying over and over to one person with 5 notches and half an inventory of pots with full level 30 diamond gear when p5 begins trying to defend your nexus in whatever class. I also fondly remember when annihilation had full lobbies
Me and my buddies used to play on a dingy CityLife server. They had a PVP section with four distinct colors like Annihilation. We always would warp to the yellow side of the PVP section and enjoy fighting anyone who would come in. Later it shut down and we found Shotbow. It basically defined our friendship. We would print out the MineZ map and look over it during lunch in 6th grade, plan a route to loot our way north. We'd play Annihilation and always join the yellow team as a way to remember our first minecraft experience. The server became a nice refuge for us. All of us still get on from time to time even now as adults. I have one hundred memories to share, but to me those memories with them on Shotbown were the best.

I was a mixer party and was talking to some of the other guys. I asked what games they played and they had mentioned Minecraft. We got to chatting, somehow Shotbow and Annihilation/MineZ came up. We where talking about the furnace stashes and the meta from the release of the games. We added each other on discord and ended up hopping on later that week!
My favorite memory in Shotbow had to be when I grouped up in mineZ with someone known as XenoTripe in September of 2014. I forget exactly how, but I believe they were a platinum who enjoyed helping out new players. I forget how I got their attention, but we ended up grouping together and walking through the frozen parts of the mineZ map. Back then, there was a giant spawn somewhere in there I believe, but I don't remember where it was or what the location was named. Bottom line is we were duoing, and they decided that they'd help me out in trying to take down a giant. They gave me some basic instructions, and we didn't struggle at all in the journey there. The problems, however, started when we actually fought the giant. XenoTripe specifically warned me to "not spam the giant". However, what did spamming the giant classify as? I had no clue! So I hit the giant at what I THOUGHT was a reasonable pace, but made us get swarmed by a ton of zombies, and hit hard by the stomp. Turns out, yep, I spammed that giant and we both died because of it. XenoTripe however, didn't get mad at me and just left a comment on my profile to say it was fun, and we should try again another day. We unfortunately never did, but their kindness still stuck with me and I'm reminded of it each time I check my profile. Today, it serves as a memory of just how terrible I used to be at games and at mineZ, as nowadays I've killed quite a few giants, and I often think back at that day and wonder just how I was that bad at Minecraft. Then I remember I used to play with the arrow keys for some ungodly reason, and used a PC that had 2 GB of RAM as well as an AMD Sempron processor. My hardware sucked, I was naive, and I lacked general life experience, but man, I still managed to have a ton of fun back in the day despite being horrendous!
My favourite time shotbow was in may 2021 when i recorded my first youtube video with my old account (sadly it got stolen), i edited and uploaded it the same day i recorded.
It was 2014. Back then, the online server was very huge. We earned experience and opened classes. We ran from ghosts, we ran from zombies, we ran to destroy the nexus. I played a lot on annihilation. It was necessary to break the nexus of 4 teams. There were 25 players in each team. They started with stone and wooden tools, gradually received iron, and in the middle they mined diamonds. Everyone tried to take the middle and dominate. Their bases had to be guarded and protected. The players had different classes, thanks to which they could get some advantages. Builders built walls at their base and sky bridges to the enemy's base, the archer received arrows, the miner could receive more ore. I liked playing for scout, because thanks to this class, you can quickly move around the map. At the beginning of the game, if you develop quickly, you can run in iron armor in the enemy's territory and hinder development, and if the enemy is in my territory, then kill him. My team developed faster than the others, because I helped with resources, mining in the mine and throwing them into the common chest. We worked together and helped each other. The builder was building a wall to protect the nexus from the enemy. When we got the diamond armor, we could easily defeat the enemy. After the victory, we got experience and a good mood. I miss those days and the online experience that was on the server!
My favorite memory on the Shotbow Network was in 2013 when I played Annihilation for the 1st time without understanding the game. Many of the people in that match did not know either, so anyway I learned that the maps are symmetrical which confused me and I ended up using an enemy team's ender furnace and enchantment tables, got gear, all without getting attacked. "Our" team (the enemy team that I was at for the majority of the game) was going toward my real base and I died in the confusion.
