Don't know where it's giving you grief Blitz, but I just went to the site, logged in, and downloaded the game again quite happily.

I've been pondering the server idea for the last day. Wondering how bandwidth hungry it would actually be. If enough people were interesting it might be worth looking at outside options.

Damn that was close, good decision to get it last night then :P . Was going to come on here and tell ppl to hurry up and get it b4 it goes Beta because this game is addictivly fucking fun and defiantly worth the few pieces of silver they were asking for it.

Sunk about 3 hours into it last night and had a fucking ball!! Made my original hidey cave initially and continued plundering there until I needed more wood. Then trekked further to a Forrest and made another hidey hole. I find myself slaving away chopping wood and nervously glancing at the position of the sun every few minutes to make sure I've got enough time to retreat to my nearest hidey hole.

Once it's dark and I'm in my hole, I setup my work bench and furnace and start cranking out some produce or mining further into the mountain.

Unfortunately, it crashed on me just as I was going to start to build an island castle. I'm really not upset by that fact though, cause I'm looking forward to cranking it up again tonight and seeing what world is randomly generated for me then to explore.

Multiplayer would be awesome if it was a continuos world in which people jumped in and out of. Imagine digging a mine and falling into a pre-dug mine of a fellow minecrafter :D

But taking turns or working in unison to build a massive castle would be awesome.

I really am looking forward to playing this again tonight. I think the xbox may be getting neglected for awhile.

I also see some huge potential for this as well or inspiration for other games. Imagine an oblivion style game with the mining and crafting aspects of minecraft?

Yeah, a server would allow us to have the one shared world to build in. Seriously considering options on this!

People seem to be toying with releasing clients for the iPhone and iPad as well, though they've been getting pulled for various reasons.

That's what I'm determining. To pay for a hosted server for just a few of us would probably not be worth it. I could easily host on my systems, especially when I eventually got business plan and get a static IP, but for some reason no one deems my area worthy of regular ADSL1 so the lag might suck for you guys. But then, given it's a reasonably simple game, the bandwidth required might be minimal, or it could have shit netcode since it's just come out of Alpha.

I'll play with it. ;)

Oh and everyone else.....Get on it!!! During Beta you can still pick it up 25% cheaper which would probably only make it about $15 or something pitiful like that. Well worth the money, plus if we do get this server cranking it's only going to get better the more block heads we have running around......

.......did anyone mention that it has zombies in it!!?? We all know how u yes love your zombies :D

It's like revisiting your childhood and playing with Lego, where building anything is possible.........but better :D

Maybe I'm hyping to much ^o) But in all seriousness it is quality fun for such a basic sort of concept

It's a PC game Necris. People have been dabbling in making iPhone/iPad clients to connect to the servers.
