Well, my first couple of times involved me being depressed and alone for hours, before I realized that I had to forward ports. But my first time making a WORKING server was right after I heard about the update, and rushed to make a server with an old build I had saved. I wasn't there for long because I didn't plan to really do much of anything, but it mostly consisted of me "OMG!! OMG!!!"ing all over the place because people could finally join my server.
