Minecraft (online Lego essentially)

This is so great again, I spent hours yesterday building a tower:

Weirdly enough, the pink griefed tower on the right, is mine from about 1 year ago, and from an older version of the server O_o

What happened to OcUK's server? :(
 
Not really :( hes paid about 55% off that in tax :( and then theres server, licensing and other costs... still hes prolly made himself a couple of hundred thousand clear.

yeh, still impressive :) and if its true valve are buying he could make himself a handy bit of cash. just wonder if he'll have any say on the direction of the game after that since its something we've all enjoyed.
 
Been playing the single player mode a bit lately. Built myself a huge tree house with a ladder all the way underground which has a mine and other stuff like my furnace and Crafting tables. with a moat around the outside of it.
:cool:

Its clear from his last Dev Post that Valve aren't buying - he's setting up his own company and hiring some staff to continue Minecraft development as well as start another project.
 
It is out, it's just pants. Last I tried there was no day/night cycle, no mobs, and inventory was client side (pointless), amongst many other things.

It's a bit frustrating because normally he makes a consideral leap towards beta, with fixes and new content every week. But for the last month he has hardly touched it so he can go jetting all over the world to seemingly talk to everyone in the world.

Good for him, for the company and for us in the long run, bad for us in the short term. I hope he's back on track soon.

There's a day/night cycle but its only aesthetic since theres no monsters etc. A few things don't work in MP either likes furnaces so there's only so many materials you can make use of. Still fun to build though (lost about 5 hours in it last night with 2 mates).

I see, he must have patched night in at some point. When it first went MP me and a few mates pumped a few hours into it. Some of us enjoyed it more than others. For me, having played about 5 bajillion hours of classic minecraft, I can't be bothered.

What gets me excited about Survival is that mix of turtling in a corner just to stay alive, and growing the nads to go out and mine resources. It's a brilliant mix of creative sandbox building and survival horror, neither is that fun without the other though.

how much is it atm?

Apparently he is having paypal issues, with PP throwing a wobbly over "suspicious activity". This might be a problem if you're thinking of buying now.

Far more worrying is this though:

Most recently they told me it’d take up to two more weeks for it to get resolved, and that if they decide something bad’s being going on, they’re going to keep the money.

There’s over 600000 euro in there. Money I was planning on investing in the new company.
