GOD.

DAMN.

http://www.minecraft.net

I've been holding off purchasing MineCraft for a while now, a £9 investment for a really shoddy looking game didn't seem like a bright idea for the longest time, until they hosted a Free-To-Play weekend.

After this lifted, I instantly purchased this game, despite it being in Alpha. I'd sincerely recommend you guys do too. If there's any interest, I'll create a proper thread for this, with useless links, PLUS I got a private server up and running, so we can play together! :D

Anyone else on this?

I know about 200 people from EVE Online who play it and sold their souls to it. Personally I think it is a stupid game, but I am obviously in the minority. Also, I didn't like Gary's Mod either for HL2.

I LOVE this game, I wish I didn't have to bootleg it off of my friend because I have no way to buy it online, if I saw it in a store I'd definitely buy it, but sadly, I have to deal with an un updated version and I cannot help support Notch to help keep the game going.

Surely you could just download the most recent version in school or something and put it on a flashdrive?

Minecraft is an awesome game.

The guy who made it, Notch, is really rich now. I read somewhere that he is making around $250,000 per DAY!

I love Minecraft. I played way back during the original classic release for a few days. Then I downloaded it during the free to play weekend thing.
Finally a couple weeks ago I actually bought the game. Such a simple yet addictive game.

Thought I would give this thread a bump with great news.
Minecraft will be going into beta on the 20th of December. 9 days from now!

Copy and pasting entry from his blog


The next epoch is upon us! The skies are trembling, pigs are growing wings, and the nether is turning awfully cold, as Minecraft slowly crawls out of Alpha..

Minecraft will reach Beta status on December 20th, 2010.

With Beta comes a larger focus on polish and content, and we’ll start early on with adding proper modding support with a stable API, and we’d love all input we can get on this from the modders out there. We’ll also add some kind of non-intrusive narrative to the game to help drive the game experience early on, and to provide some kind of late game goal. There will be a bigger focus on testing and stability as well, with more time between updates.

When the game enters beta, the price will rise to 14.95 Euro.

We will also change the license to remove the line that promises all future versions of the game for free. Please note that this change only affects people who buy the game after December 20, so if you got the game for during alpha, you will still get all future updates for free, despite this change. A promise is a promise.
Buying the game during beta will include all updates up until release, of course, and bug patches will be free.

Soon, you will be able to buy gift codes for Minecraft, perfectly timed for the holidays! Even better, if you buy those before December 20, accounts created from these codes will count as alpha accounts, and will receive all future updates for free.

And the next game update (with server-side inventory) is coming next week, before Beta

Merry holidays happy! :D

I've played a little bit of minecraft and did enjoy it (in fact I made a giant pyramid) but I dont think its something I would pay and play further.
Although I do have notch on twitter because, well he's a genius.

Minecraft is just amazing. It is really hard to believe that the game was created by just one programmer. It really shows how the simplest games can be awesome if executed well.

And we're in beta!
Not too much is different, hoping that the multiplayer chunk regenerating bug is fixed and trees apparently work as they should now. (Leaves disappear once the tree is gone)
I like the tooltips on the inventory though. Now to test out the multiplayer.

I been watching alot of gameplay lately and been wanting to try it out. It's 20 bucks on the site but is that a good price for a beta?

Correction on the price. I just looked at the site and its 13 euros so I think that's about 36 bucks Canadian.

I would still say it is a good price... The game has infinite Replay value IMO and it is very fun... Also it is getting better every day with new updates and whatnot... Once they come out of beta the price could go up again So if you plan to get it You should get it while it is still in beta. The game is really fun and you can even play multilayer and the such... If you want to watch some interesting videos on it check out the Yogscast on youtube.

Great investment, such an addictive game, only problem is notch seems to be lazy updating the game, and other peoples mods are better then what notch has done, mods like mo's creatures.
Enjoy life, because remeber no one gets out alive.
