Praxis Announcement
PCGamer ''&quot;There comes a time when successful mods become too big for the games they're modifications for. This appears to be the case with... CivCraft&quot;''

SegmentNext &quot;the devs wanted to explore the idea of their ambitious CivCraft not being shackled and by doing so, what possibilities it could have and the answer came in the form of Praxis.&quot;

Washington Post ''&quot;A day after the Microsoft deal became official, at least one mod jumped ship and decided to re-create itself as a standalone game, avoiding the question of how Microsoft would handle its content altogether. CivCraft, a huge Minecraft [server], will become Praxis and detach itself from its original Minecraft connection.&quot;''

Rock Paper Shotgun &quot;The creators of Minecraft server Civcraft have announced Praxis, a standalone game that plays with the same concepts as its forebear.&quot;

Civcraft 1.0
DeclineFM ''&quot;Imagine a game called, “Americraft,” where millions of people log on every day to drive to work, build some stuff, eat some food, forward cat pictures to each other and get in petty squabbles. Along come some people from a different server who have “a different style of playing&quot;...&quot;''

Gameranx ''&quot;I wasn’t happy with how things were turning out, but how could I change the course of the raging river of the HCF? Every day I dreaded logging in, but couldn’t stop myself anyway — one day I’d see the town’s center portal covered in a huge cube of cobblestone (produced by HCF agents dropping water and lava buckets repeatedly), and the next day the cobblestone would be gone, cleared by the ever-industrious citizens of Augusta.&quot;''

Controversy
http://www.dailydot.com/gaming/ - I can't link to this help. ''&quot;“This is an issue real-world implications,” ariehkovler wrote. “We won’t and can't allow what can be considered a real-world crime like this to occur on the server. Also, CivCraft is open to all ages, the legal implications across the server's and players' jurisdictions create a real hazard to the community.”&quot;''

Important Social Posts
Worldbuilding Reddit ''&quot;Voxel based games like Minecraft changed the paradigm a wee bit, and are still changing the paradigm, but for now I did not find it to be enough. What makes our &quot;real world&quot; so compelling is the fact that we, our ancestors, built it.&quot;''

Subreddit Drama ''&quot;For your real life mental health? If arbitration on a game in a public forum threatens to break down your mental stability I think you should just throw your computer out the window and check yourself into an institute. That is a ridiculous sentiment.&quot;''

/r/Minecraft tour of 1.0 &quot;Pretty crazy. Shortly after seeing this post I started playing on Civcraft. Completely forgot about the post but kept playing, now I'm a senator of Prussia, which was founded by the same players who originally created Germania. What are the chances, huh.&quot;

/r/SubredditOfTheDay &quot;Unlike anything I've ever experienced before in videogaming.&quot;
