What is the EaseCation Network?

Started off as a small project, a friend and I created EaseCation back in 2015. We wanted to create a fun and stable experience for Minecrafters. Over the following months, the project steadily gained popularity. We regularly had over 200 concurrent players distributed across three servers. I developed the core infrastructure and tools necessary to support hundreds of concurrent players while actively engaging with our players to incorporate their feedback into dozens of new mini-games and features.

Later in the year, we reached 1 million registered players. Developing and maintaining infrastructure at this scale was no easy task. As we gained popularity, so did the size of our team -- we managed to build a team of engineers, builders, content creators, and moderators.

In 2016, we had ~500 concurrent players at all times.

I strove to build an incredible experience for over 5 million registered players who have enjoyed EaseCation from around the world. In 2018, we partnered with NetEase, Inc. to enhance the gaming experience and make EaseCation accessible to a wider audience.

In 2020, we regularly had over 8,000 concurrent players across 34 servers. We also had a strong team with over 50 members. Around this time, I decided to step away. I was confident in EaseCation's future without my involvement as I focused on new endeavors.

Milestones

In 2020, we regularly had 8,000 concurrent players across 16 proxy servers.

In July 2020, we reached 10,000 concurrent players! :D
