Made originally because of a video contest on the server. In it, you can see some of the shops from Sanctum 1.0, the earliest version of the server with a world from the before the 1.2 version of Minecraft.

While the forums were operational from the server's beginning, this is the earliest Internet Archive snapshot taken of the Sanctum Forums. Unfortunately, most of the images and pretty-looking stuff didn't survive. To the right, however, is an image of how it would've looked back then.

A YouTuber, known then as MMMontages offered to make a couple of videos for the server. The first of which was a trailer. It showcases some builds from early Sanctum 2.0, which came with the Minecraft 1.2 update.

The second video from MMMontages was a skit showing common/stereotypical phrases for Minecrafters at the time. The video was recorded in Sanctum 2.0's spawn area and cities, featuring members of the staff (Mixon87, Apocalypse03, Noble1xCarter).
