2b2t’s History of Kings

Who was the king of the oldest anarchy server in minecraft sounds like a ridiculous question right how does somebody rule a minecraft server that has no rules well when you’ve had hundreds of thousands of players over the years there’s bound to be a few that desire power influence and attention

Here on 2b2t today’s video focuses on two individuals who both called themselves the king of 2b2t at one point one’s journey ended in disaster and one went down as a 2b2t legend there’s a lot of history to cover today so let’s get started when looking at the 2b2t

Timeline everything that i discuss in today’s video takes place between 2010 and early 2016 as this is the only time in the server’s history where the player base was small enough to come to a consensus on anything the first person to ever call himself king of 2b2t

Was a 2011 player named chris lighton old players recognized this name instantly because of what happened to him his story serves as a cautionary tale to all new players so if you are new to 2b2t you should pay close attention to this one chris leighton was your quintessential 2b2t player

He was toxic enjoyed griefing and was all around obnoxious he would constantly spam the following phrase in chat chris leighton is the king of 2b2t and that last part i’m sure you can fill in the blanks but he spammed this phrase non-stop and back in 2011 the slash ignore feature did not exist

Yet so players were forced to read these messages day in and day out just to get him to shut up the player base at the time humored him and told him yes chris you are the king of 2v2t and of course it went to his head he became one of the biggest

Griefers of 2011. he griefed spawn bases and took spawn killing so seriously that it was borderline obsessive some say that the 2b2t tradition of killing new players started with chris back in 2011 instead of having a random spawn location within a certain radius of zero zero everybody would spawn

In the exact same spot chris was notorious for pouring lava over the entire area burning new players alive instantly players that originally made fun of chris for trying to be the king actually began to respect his dedication to making life on 2v2 team miserable for new players

When he wasn’t busy killing these new players chris actually did work on some projects he was one of the first people to dig out tunnels near the nether ceiling he actually helped dig out the early parts of what is now the infamous x highway to the world border

Chris was the most notorious player of 2011 and he had achieved fame and notoriety on the server he had obtained all the attention that he desired but all of this attention came at a cost some players had grown so sick of chris that they wanted to make him leave the server forever

After doing some basic research the players discovered something shocking the true identity of tube2t self-proclaimed king it turns out that chris leighton was not just a minecraft username chris leiten was his actual name chris had doxed himself by using his real name as his minecraft name and the

Toxic playerbase of 2b2t took advantage he was harassed to the point of quitting the server this event would unfortunately set precedence for many more incidents like this to happen over the years and is part of what gave 2b2t the reputation of being the world’s worst minecraft server

Chris had come to 2b2t begging for attention and unfortunately for him he got it tenfold chris’s story is a cautionary tale for new players about why it’s important to keep your personal details to a minimum when dealing with 2b2t after chris left the server for good there would be many copycats throughout

The years that would try and copy chris’s style and persona even going as far as using his exact same messages in chat but it wasn’t until a few years later until the next contender for king came along someone who i would argue came closest to being an actual king of 2b2t pyrobite

The most legendary 2b2t player of all time regarded by most old players as the true king of 2b2t how did he get this reputation well similar to chris originally pyrobyte was seen as an obnoxious player but unlike chris pyro was an actual computer hacker he was able to make his own hack client

And exploit the server in ways that had not been done before in 2013 using a back door pyrobyte together with i tristan teleported to the world border becoming the first players on 2b2t to see it with their own eyes pyro was also one of the creators of 2b2t superweapons

The 32k items much like his predecessor chris pyro himself enjoyed griefing the spawn region and started the trend of naming withers after himself he would name all of them pyrobite is the king of 2b2t he spawned them all over i personally can remember new year’s eve of 2014 going into 2015.

I was on 2bt that evening before heading out for festivities and while i was playing i was greeted with this sound Pyrobite spawned about 50 withers in the span of about a minute all of them named after himself pyrobite was also known to mess around on the nether roof before the plug-in existed that kicked players off of it being a member of valkyria he established good relationships with the playerbase at the time

He would be a part of many bases in his time but his leadership abilities truly began to shine when he was selected as one of the leaders of asgard 2 the largest group base on 2b2t in 2015. since the majority of the active player base lived at this base

And saw pyro as a true leader most took pyro’s claim of being king as fact he was a powerful player with backdoor access but never used the access maliciously of course like any ruler in real life history he was not perfect while posting screenshots in a group skype chat pyrobite accidentally leaked

The coordinates of asgard 2. pyro knew that his favorable reputation would suffer if the truth got out nobody could know that asgard 2 was his fault so he decided to hide the truth his accidental leak was so well hidden that even i didn’t know about it until years later

In fact me finding out this revelation is part of what made me want to make this video in the first place now that we finally know the truth behind asgard 2 but telling us all that a coordinate leak had happened and that griefers were on their way

Pyro knew that he could channel the base’s energy and anger at something it would make it easier for people to move on from asgard 2. all of this would culminate into the creation of the third incursion at spawn since pyro felt bad about causing asgard 2 to fall

He wanted to give the base members a memory that they would never forget so using his powerful repertoire of items he utilized infinite blocks to help build one of the most famous structures in toby’s history wrath outpost pyro proved his leadership abilities by turning what could be seen as a

Tragedy in one of the most positive experiences players had on the server i still look back fondly at those times in early 2016 pyro quietly left 2b2t for good in the community there’s this running joke that you can quit the server at any time but you can never leave pyro

Is the exception to this rule he deleted his github and most traces of himself on the internet he left the world of 2b2t behind forever and very few have heard from him since the only active player on 2b2t that still has ties to pyrobite refuses to give up any details about him

And i can’t say i blame him pyrobite is the closest 2b2t has ever had to an actual king he had immense power on the server yet showed restraint in using it he had the respect of the majority of the 2v2t player base with most actually referring to him as

King if you want my opinion i’d tell you that yes he was the king of 2v2t while there have been countless copycats of both chris and pyro over the years none of the players could back up their claims of being the king now with the player base being so large

And divided on a multitude of issues having the community agree on someone being king is borderline impossible the era of kings on 2b2t is long gone but it makes for an interesting memory and a very interesting story if you enjoyed today’s video make sure to subscribe
