It depends on your definition of "server" and the criteria you are using to determine which is the oldest. We are "one of the oldest known Minecraft servers". The server went online the day of the release of Minecraft Multiplayer Wed Aug 04 10:12:39 PDT 2010, hosting rbos' infdev single-player world - and has not reset its' map since [1][2][3]. We also host a creative world with builds copied over from rbos' old Minecraft Classic server. The server has gone through limited downtime, mainly for server maintenance and when updating to a new patch. .
