Our Last Stand Death Maze & Possible Return

It's been a long time since I've made a post, and I apologize for that, but it's for good reason. With it being my Senior year, it was getting very stressful, and with me finally finishing High School on May 22, I believe I can do more of these without worrying about millions of other things. Now, with that out of the way, it's time to talk about the game

Minecraft. It's a Sandbox game that typically is a fun-for-all kind of game, but it has it's moments where it can be terrifying. Our Last Stand is a Minecraft server that I have enjoyed playing on since late October 2013, and it has yet to let me down. Around late March or April, my friend on the server Leif and I were talking wanting the heads of certain players, and he told me about a maze on the server called "Death Maze" where if you're lucky, you'll find a random head of some player who is a part of the server. Enjoying the sound of this, I put on some good diamond armor, got some good weapons, and was on my way, but I was not ready for what I was about to endure.

Essentially, let me explain death maze, or at least, OLS's version of it. It's an infinitely expanding world full of tunnels, rooms, and whatever. As you go about, there'll be anything from the walls being any kind of stone (cobble, smooth, mossy, mossy stone brick, etc), and some random coal or netherrack or whatever. Scattered about will be chests with random loot, sand, gravel, and the big factor of them all, monster spawners. You can not turn a corner without anticipating at least 1 zombie, or being fully surprised when an army of skeletons come marching your way. With the fact that it is infinitely expanding, there's never really an end to it either, so you pretty much go until you decide you can't anymore. The head thing is true too, and is a nice touch to enduring such a scary and daunting death maze. You can find heads of any players, including mods, admins, and even the operator himself LastTulare.

Death maze is a high risk, high reward, high blood pressure rush of intensity that can you leave you shaky and fidgety after just 10 minutes of playing. You get tons of exp from all the killing you do, plus with one of the plugins, you get money with each creature you kill, so you always leave with a bunch of good things. You can also find nifty items in the chests, plus there's special rooms you can find like the library with some chests, many bookcases, and 2 enchantment tables. You can also find a furnace room, or one of the deserted rest stops.

One of the coolest things about Death Maze is that no matter how scared you are, how stupid it might sound when you first start, no matter what, you rarely want to stop. You'll be playing it, and suddenly your exp won't seem to go higher, your inventory is full, but for some reason, you just can't get yourself to stop. If you enter with a bunch of friends, there is plenty of excitement and fear to go all around, and if you form a party with them, you can all share with the benefits! There is literally a ton of fun waiting in this maze, but be warned, it's not for the faint of heart.
