AEGIS-LINK — Lan Philia of Aegis-Link spent about the first hour and a half of her first day on the StellarCraft Minecraft server in the company of other players. She then turned to the game itself, mining and gathering materials through the rest of a stream that ran more than four hours under the title “back to the mines!” She opened sniffling and coughing, apologized to viewers for it, and said she was sick but wanted to play and build.

She had said at the start that she had not been able to join the server until that day and would be starting from scratch. The first stretch was a walk through the spawn hub with a group of other players: player-made advertisements, including a say-no-to-drugs-and-gambling poster across from a gambling corner, and a bar-and-grill build with an aquarium. At about 1:20 she announced it was time to play Minecraft. She described the opening as quite an introduction to the server and said all the laughing had left her feeling a little better.
