I learned about Minecraft back in 2010 I believe, when Seananners did a video on alpha, and I thought it was the greatest thing ever created. Being poor, I played classic for a long while and found zombie in August of 2011. I didn't actually get premium until the official release, when a certain AvantGarde gifted it to me.
