This is my first time posting on the forum so please bear with me.
So a bit over half a year ago me and some friends and friends of friends were playing on a survival server hosted by one of my friends. It was fun but we eventually got bored and ended the server. I later lost contact with most of them.
Fast forward today and the server is still saved in my server list but it says someone is online! I join but don't recognize this person and they don't recognize me. 2 more people join and I tell them my story of how I just joined. They said the server only started a month ago and they didn't recognize me or the usernames of any of my friends.
The reason I was able to join is because the server is not whitelisted. I'm guessing they just only gave the ip address to people they wanted to join. As far as I can tell their server is a completely different server with different people.
In all my time playing minecraft I've never had something like this happen before. Has anyone here ever had something like this happen to them or does anyone know how this happened? I also attached a screenshot I took of me and the other 3 players.
TL;DR:
A server closed then half a year later the same ip let me join a different server.
This happen to me some years ago i had a free server i think it was either server.pro or aternos i can't remember witch one. I can't remember why but we reset the server at some point and that meant the ip too. At that point i had a lot of servers on my multiplayer list so i forgot to delete the old server and add a new one and instead created a new. After some time i decided to delete all the servers i did not needed and i noticed that there was a server i did not recognize and after checking the ip i realised that it was the old ip server. There were some people online so i thought to join in an see what happens. The opped player banned me before i could even say hello. I asume that they forgot to enable whitelist when they made the server.
