After listening to the lot in college talk about MineCraft for the last 3 months i've decided to buy it.

However I am planning to blow every single little thing on their servers.

VeNT · 16 Jan 2011 at 13:43

Is this game free to play? I wanna join in. Ive signed up on the website but when I log in it says "you must play offline first" or words to that effect.

Semiskimmed · 16 Jan 2011 at 18:20

you pay initally but after that its free, ie, no subs etc.

also, is the first server back on yet? im getting all sorts of errors still!

Hedge · 16 Jan 2011 at 18:23

Most people think so, but it is quite love/hate. Some people play for a few weeks then disappear for a bit and come back later (I did the same). You also need quite a creative mind and a plan in your head, because that is what keeps you coming back, a desire to create, construct and improve.

There's another main server thread which might give you a better insight into the game (newer and smaller than this one). Watch some youtube videos, it really is 'online lego' and one giant sandbox. If you like that idea, then I think you'll get on with the game.

nope, cant pick em up from dispensers

i've got rid of mine now, im using them as pick/axe/shovel dispensers

expect lots of colourful language also, highly annoying when you build something nice and one of those exploding things sneaks up on you BOOM

Creepers are the worst, especially since the sun doesn't burn them.

Hedge · 16 Jan 2011 at 19:58

This looks like a tempting purchase. think i might have to give it a go

Delvis · 16 Jan 2011 at 20:34

Tbh man, it costs not much (in a game sense) and you'll get a good few hours / days / weeks out of it at the least, especially if you play on the server.

I need to play again, its a shame my laptop cant handle it more otherwise id play on here more often

It would be nice if sunlight made them neutral, like spiders.

Hedge · 16 Jan 2011 at 22:25

Any good tips for Starting out. Im finding it strangely fun for some reason, however I have no Idea how to make tools or where to find materials. Im just digging randomly
