First-ever political rally in Minecraft draws 12,000, then crashes

The Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (which is often described as neither liberal, democratic or a party) held a campaign rally in Minecraft, one so successful it crashed the server. More than 12,000 people apparently turned up (in Minecraft), where they enjoyed setting off fireworks, looking at an enormous, blocky bust of late party founder Vladimir Zhirinovsky, and reading error messages as the server collapsed. Despite this, the world’s first political rally was considered a rousing success.

‘The LDPR’s digital rally has become the most massive demonstration held today in the country. More than 12,000 supporters from all over the world applied to participate in the event!’ the party said in a statement. It’s not clear how many actually turned up at once though.
