The End of FCPE

The Beginning
FinnCraftPE was originally founded by Finn back in October.

FinnCraftPE released on the 31st of October by Finn & Jamie, Owners of the network.

Staff were recruited through an in-game trust system. If you were active, helpful in chat and fixed grief builds, you would have a possibility of becoming staff. This process ended late in 2016.

How things were going
The server was going very well from 2015-2018, including many users recording and streaming their experience of the server on YouTube, the community was extremely active, staff were very hard-working and super eager to come onto the server and ensure everyone was having a thrilling, unique experience. however nearer to the end of 2018, it seemed the hype for Minecraft itself lowered due to other games such as Fortnite, leading to a lower playerbase on the server. The current development team and management team attempted everything they could to increase and boost the playerbase back up to peak players and regular online state. Sadly, after many attempts they did not succeed. Austin, who was a current Event Manager back in 2018, who was a very dedicated member of the Management Team, was given an experience in joining the Ownership Team alongside Finn. However, at this time, Finn was entering Year 9 of High School, which gave him pressure and stress alongside additional school work and homework. Handling the entire server and school was too much for him, so Austin was introduced as Second Owner and Director of FinnCraftPE. Things were going smoothly since.

What happened now
In 2018, Finn was now entering Year 10, which was a very key year for him at High School, and stress was building up.

Austin was given full ownership and Finn stepped down as Owner of FinnCraftPE, in late May of 2018.

The server population suddenly decreased massively, and many players were distressed of Finn's resignation.

The origin server (a33459.leet.cc) was still owned by Finn, as he owned the email attached to the LEET account, the hosting company for FinnCraftPE.

He decided it was appropriate to end the server back in February of 2019.

The server eventually officially closed on the 15th September 2019.
