The End of BrokenLens Servers

That level of agony was something i never wanted to go through again. It's only been two years for me when I joined the server, i can't deny the fact that the two years gave me such a wonderful astonishing friends. My life has a deep attachment from this server itself. Man, i- i'm still speechless. This server was really amazing to play with. It changed my life so much. I learned a lot from this server and able to do great things that i haven't tried before.

Hopefully, we all can still manage to get in touch together despite of the termination of the server. What a spectacular, magnificent, server that will come to an end. It's really sad, i was hoping this was just a late April fools thingy but it seems not. I'm giving my great respect for the admins, staffs and the community for all the efforts and accomplishments this server has gone so far. Still can't believe we had to cut the ties within the server. Still hoping that the forums itself will stay forever for communication.

As a 13th legendary placer on TheBestBuilder, it's sad that i won't be able to reach at the top anymore. and the first time that i've won in Halloween Event in "Two" categories, that's an epic experience to cherish. bro, i'm not crying, you are. “Don’t cry because it ended, smile because it happened.” toe said but seuss said, anyway, it's been a really great journey plus having an E rank (thanks to goldy) which gives a great advantages especially when it comes to viewing the whole server lobby maps, glad i'm still able to capture those moments. The old and fresh memories that has been made, will all become a treasured memories. Salute.

For all my dear precious friends, my old squads and circle of friends that i've met from this server, a deeply thank you for being apart of my life, they're so many of them, it's been really great to have you, you know yourselves. Though most of them doesn't have any forums and can't able to contact, yet i hope they know how much i adore them.

Special mention to korush and kylokay for being one of the players that became my first buddies when the first time i joined. We've lost contact, sadly. Also a special mention to my oldest, older, old, and current squads, we've been through a lot and i just hope we're still in touch even though a lot has changed, Oh God, i just hope we could bring back time but it's impossible. A great server indeed, it made me so happy.

hello guys storytime

ten year old me was desperate to find a server with hide and seek after binge watching dantdm, so there i was, browsing the list of pocket edition servers tagged with hide and seek. thats when i came across something that changed my life forever. i still remember when i typed in play.brlns.net for the very first time. oh look, Amanda4957 has now arrived. however, little did i know the impact that this server would have on my life. as someone who joined during the release of brokenlens, i have made countless memories here the past 6 years. i am so grateful i had the opportunity to meet so many amazing people and some of which i consider my best friends. i will never forget when i spent hours on hide and seek during fifth grade winter break. i will never forget seventh grade me, sitting in my last class, and all that would be going through my brain was the thought of rushing home and playing brokenlens. i will never forget lowkey tryharding like a million hours on splatter in summer 2018- the summer where i fell in love with this server. i will never forget the time of my life where the only thing that mattered to me was dressing up as derpy cakes and raiding murder mystery games. 20 cakes rushing upstairs to the pool on aquarium would literally be the highlight of my day. i will never forget spring of 2020 when i wasnt allowed to leave my house, so i returned to brokenlens to cope. i will never forget the moment when i received a particular snapchat notification- "Zoey is typing..." i was confused at first, since we usually dont text on snapchat, but as i opened it, a wave of emotions stormed over me. maybe it was sorrow, maybe it was anger. i dont know. but right now all i feel is bittersweet nostalgia. memories flooding my mind, from building block party maps, to woonas realm, to forum photo challenges. i would like to thank the staff for putting in their effort into brokenlens all these years, and i would like to thank everyone else for making brokenlens from just a block game to a home. i would also like to thank my best friends (you know who you are) i love you guys. i am eternally thankful that ten year old me stumbled across this server, and i will keep brokenlens in my heart for the rest of my life. well i mean, i literally have a banana duck statue next to my bed at all times...oh yeah, one last thing- thecakecultt for life<3

Well that was quite sudden. Ive heard people talking about this server is dying and stuff but i have yet to believe that, up until now.
I might not have as much experience on this server compared to the others who've joined since the beginning but this server surely did introduce me to some amazing people (as well as the terrible ones but lets not talk about them)

Just remember that things gets better, just not the way that youre expecting it to be. Good luck out there lads o7 o7

oh man, that's a huge loss to bedrock community. I hope there's some good news but it's probably the end for now.
Thank you for bringing so much fun and memories to us Gab, i hope your future is wonderful! We'll never forget you and your team, all the staffs, builders, and so on... There are so many laughs and tears happening during my play time on BL, and those for sure is my power to grow up and become a mature person.
Tysm again for these years' hardwork! <3

Brokenlens will always be the best server for me and will always be deep within my heart. All of the memories that I have shared with the lovely staff team, talented builders and the community will be treasured within me. I can still remember the day I first joined brokenlens. The time I got a Rank. The time I got accepted as a builder. The time where I got accepted and met you guys. As if they happened yesterday.

In my 5 years of playing BL, I had realized that it is possible to meet such a lovely and amazing friends online and in-game.
I am very grateful that I am a staff in this server.

I am glad that I am a part of this wonderful community, I am very grateful that I have met tons of friends here.

I know that you and we are experiencing a lot of challenges nowadays but I believe that every problem has a solution. A solution that can change our life. It wont come right now but there will always be the best time for it to happen.
It's the best prioritize ones health first so no worries ^^

Thank you for everything Gab. For all the hard works and effort that you have put into this amazing server. Thank you for making my 6 years fun and full of joy. I really hope that you find and achieve your dreams in the future. Best of luck in your future endeavors. <3

I know it's been a long time coming, but this still hit like a truck. I remember spending all day playing TNTRun trying to top the leaderboard, or messing around in OITC, Splatter or something else with friends and having the time of my life just laughing the day away.

Honestly, I really don't know what else to say except thank you, vertx. Thank you for creating such a brilliant server and helping to foster such a warm and welcoming community. I hope your health improves in the coming months and I wish you good luck in whatever you seek to pursue next.

And to everyone else, but especially my friends - thank you for being my second family. :two_hearts:

After all this I don't know what to say, I had joined the Brokenlens server in August 2021 and I didn't even believe I would be so attached to the broken lens! As a builder, I had done a lot of planning how my maps would be and how to improve my builds And I don't think it can ever be complete...
And thanks to brokenlens team, I am proud to be a part of your team broken lens!

I never imagined that such a day would ever come and I still hope it's a late April Fool :pleading: :two_hearts:

man, this was not something i was hoping to read anytime soon. i knew it was coming, only a matter of when.

i want to thank gab and the whole staff team for 5 years of some of my favorite memories. not only has this server made a positive impact on the many of us, it also made a positive impact on the bedrock community as a whole. dont tell yourself that the server was just a failure, it succeeded in its impact with the best owner we could ask for

to the community, im very glad to have been a part of yall. its not easy to find a community as safe and friendly as brokenlens has. none of my 5 years on this community would be possible without the hundreds of thousands of people who played on the server.

gab, while i know this server is gone for good, i bet good is coming your way, and i wish you the best luck in the future :two_hearts:

BrokenLens is one of the best servers in my heart and I can’t imagine it to be an end, everyone typing their farewells and wishes- I’m sad to see it go. Thank you Gab, and the staff for making this server possible. I met so many wonderful people and I’m gonna miss everyone-
I’m stupid but I hope there would be a miracle for it to come back again

I do want to thank you for creating a server that made good memories. Thank you for the staff team trying to uplift the server. I did not expect this at all but I will miss BrokenLens and really what kept me liking it was Splatter! A game where you can’t find in other servers. I wonder if there is an another way maybe keeping very few games but I guess then it would prolong the end anyway. Thank you and good luck with your future. :notworthy:

I joined the server early 2016, I was desperate to be of all things, a flower pot in Hide&Seek, lol. I never ever would’ve expected to be as attached to this server as I am now. :inlove:

I found much more than a flower pot. I found my home. I’ve always grown up in a very toxic just awful household, happiness wasn’t something I was very fond of. I’ve spent more than half my life alone, but with brokenlens? I found a reason to keep going, I found people who gave me the years of happiness I missed for so long.

I will NEVER forget the pure joy this community has given me, the joy being a staff member has given me, the growth I’ve been able to experience and the people I’ve met. I met some of my absolute bestest friends here and without them I truly don’t know where I’d be in life, perhaps not even here. There’s nothing I could say to express my gratitude. I’ll never forget the memories I made here, wherever they were good or bad. While 99.99% of the people I knew left ages ago, I hope someday, if they ever see this message, just know I love you and I’m thankful you were apart of my time here.

I hope you never consider this a ‘failure’, because I firmly believe you touched lives across the whole entire world and gave more than just me a reason to continue through life. and to me, that sounds a lot like success. (: I couldn’t be more proud and appreciative of you gab, accepting something as difficult as this has got to be one of the hardest things to do. but on another note, I am SO happy you finally get to have that freedom and happiness you’ve deserved for so long. You’ve given all of us the joy of being members of this server, I think it’s finally time you receive a bit more of yours back. x
