🐲Our History
🐉 The History of Dragon Shield
Hi everyone! I'm Marti, the owner and founder of Dragon Shield. In this section, I’ll take you through the history of how we started, our humble beginnings, and the different eras of the server throughout the years.
🌱 The Beginning (2019)
After returning to Minecraft in 2019, I decided to create a modded survival / MMORPG server.
With that idea in mind, I began brainstorming names, and the first one that came to me was Dragon Shield.
During that year, the server grew into a strong and welcoming community. We had a daily active player base of around 30–40 members, which was amazing for a small project like ours. Even though we didn’t have much, we had each other, and that made the community special.
💀 The Shutdown (2020)
As 2020 began, things took an unexpected turn. I caught COVID-19, which later developed into pneumonia. I was hospitalized seriously, and unfortunately, the server had to shut down soon after.
🔥 The Attempted Revival (2022)
Two years later, in 2022, I tried to bring Dragon Shield back. Things were going well for about three months, but then I got hit by COVID-19 (Delta strain).
Once again, I was hospitalized, and my plans to fully relaunch the server were cut short.
⚔️ The Comeback (Late 2023 – 2024)
In November 2023, we began developing the current version of Dragon Shield. We kept things quiet at first with no active advertising, just pure development and testing.
Then, in February 2024, we officially reopened with the mindset:
"Enough is enough. It’s time for a comeback."
The result? A solid player base and active community once again!
🔥 The Ignis Update (2025)
At the start of 2025, I decided to create a massive content update called Ignis.
While development was underway, we paused advertising, which naturally led to a drop in player count. However, the update was a huge success, and we’re now slowly growing again with new features, new players, and new adventures ahead!
🛡️ Closing Thoughts
Dragon Shield has gone through ups and downs, but our community spirit has never faded. From humble beginnings to major updates, we’ve built something special together, and this is only the beginning.
Thank you to everyone who has supported Dragon Shield throughout the years. Your loyalty and passion keep the flame alive. ❤️
