So we've started a MP server and have decided to build a pub. We've got the ground floor with a fireplace, bar, jukebox(s) and tables and have started on the disco one floor below which has a floor of gold and obsidian.

Next up is a jacuzzi on the roof. Just a shame we're all hopeless nerds - need to convince the girls in the office to buy the game.

Not sure if that'd make it any less geeky mind. 

Even though its in alpha? 

There was a free weekend a while back because the server went down.

I don't see it as any different than buying a game on Steam early.

It's a pretty clever way of doing it as well - open sandbox, see what the players enjoy doing, build the game around that. 

I think the level editor version is free to play, but I can't see anyone here having fun with such a radically cut down world editing tool.

Part of the fun is getting fucked over by enemies. 

Will have to cough up sooner or later I guess :)) 

i can't say as i want to get into it (i have enough stuff eating up my time already) but it has been kinda amusing reading people's stories and looking at pics in the other thread, so any screenshots & anecdotes welcome :D

I'm not playing minecraft but from the few videos I've seen I do appreciate the pigs and the square sun!
