I'm ok with the Alpha statement, but not having enough land for all the fucking alpha backers to claim a piece of land is absolutely retarded.

I doubt that will last..

Lol did what? Minimize the available land grab space? Dave just posted on twitter that an update is coming in about an hour.

It won't, but I know those fuckers can do basic math. We have this much space in game, this much space per claim with this many backers...

I've been enjoying it, but there isn't really any reason to burn myself out so I've been taking it easy and not stressing. If I freeze I just go do something else for a while. I'm impressed with the quality for an alpha. There is a lot of potential here. Imagine having streams, rivers, lakes, etc, critters and monsters littered around the world to make it feel more alive, a weather system in place, and all the features they have been talking about adding eventually. Easier claim and server/map management would be a great start.

I would love to see a bind/ability that ports you back to your claim.

Whatever you do, don't use /home.

lol, what did that do Rake?

Put me in a never ending blue screen, which lead to a launcher stuck at 50% the next time I tried to log in. Only fix was to re install lol.

lol, that sucks man. At least the client is only 2.5gb

It actually auto fixed after 45 min or so. Which is probably how long a re-install takes. The real fix is to wait it out

Game looks fucking boss though - I can't wait to see all the art they will be adding.

All I want to do is log in and dig down.

They are starting to roll out the fixes tonight.

Best alpha I have been a part of. Some issues yeah, but I went in expecting stickman art.

Glad I'm not the only one enjoying it, was feeling a bit left out! I still want to see about longevity but I'm having fun.

This is basically what I've been doing.

(tip for those looking for tin , I'm late to the party on this tip I'm sure but just in case , keep digging WAY down on copper mines and so on. I've hit large amounts of tin , and I'm assuming it works that way for a lot of stuff. Just scratching the surface and moving on will have you missing lots of goodies).

Also I know Ano is just venting and I get the frustration , venting is better than the screaming you see on the alpha forums.

I had to make sure and remind myself , alpha , massive amounts of folks , this is going to be a fubar , just be ready for it.

The fact I know it's all getting wiped at least twice in the next few months makes it easier to be patient. (I'll throw a fit if my 2 day early start land rush is borked though)

IF you like stone then digging down is for you, thats about all you will see. Did it for 40 minutes before I wanted to kill myself.

No more NDA guys and gals. Go nuts!

Well the NDA was lifted. This game as it is right now is going to take a good chunk out of minecraft
