This is a quote from a angry gamer on that hijack blog. Why would they do this just before the huge Halloween update?
"For those that think these guys are retarded: A lot of us have bean playing since first survival, and bought the UNFINISHED game on the promise (and record) that he would do regular updates. He as made over a million Euro this way. He even had a schedule that said he would be out of Alpha and into Beta by early September. NOW he has virtually STOPPED making the game, and started making a company. He has started hiring people. He's looking for more projects. In the past few months, he hasn't been keeping up his "regular updates" promises. Infact: he has failed about 5 weeks of "Secrete Friday Updates". If EA launched a broken MMO and said they where going to fix it... then didn't, what else would you expect ANONYMOUS to do? To ANOYMOUS: This is the worst, most immature way to get your way."
Weird looking fireballs. Seems he's using the standart flame sprite for those... meh, hopefully they change that on the final
update.
supposedly he hired a pixel artist.
i was never terribly impressed with minecraft's graphics, even from a "classic" type stance, but we shall see how it all goes.
I wonder why, art wise theirs really only so much that can be done with the current limitations. Notch must have big plans for the look of the game to warrant it.
My hub tower is starting to come together, I plan on making roads/bridges/tunnels that lead to cool stuff, all connecting to the hub, feel free to throw up some bridges and signs
wish we could purge the world on the current PC server and make a new world thats not in the damn snow and ice. and also put a ban on making anything near the spawn point.

Yeah the snow and ice annoys the hell out of me.... i wanna use my boats!
not sure what extending the "no build" zone would do the server any good, since zac would just build a bigger wall around that :P.
i'm personally hoping for things like an invisible barrier to prevent people from wandering off too far. you know, to reduce the drag on the server and keep it more stable (not sure if that even is a reason for crashes.
yeah the wall was a silly idea, I thought it'd be cool to start off in a small "bubble" and once you leave you are exposed to all the cool buildings, an op could destroy that wall (or you could give OP to a bunch of ppl at once just to destroy the wall, and remove it after words.
The polycount server is a strange, beautiful, alien world. I'm impressed, guys.
yeah then you see me, trying to mine the trees near spawn XD then taking a water ride with no way up
Playing single player and so far been sticking near my spawn. Made a nice base near there where Im digging down hoping for some cool mine. Though when I started exploring nearby found a cave and when I went inside found a river but there were monsters haha though they couldnt attack me. Cant wait to excavate that cave...
Yeah the snow and ice annoys the hell out of me.... i wanna use my boats!
its only a couple of hundred meters in any direction till you reach iceless regions, go there to use your boats, i wish my server would have started on ice, there is no chance to get it into summerland booooh :X
sorry if this might be a bit off topic - I installed java the application required for running minecraft, but now I'm getting attacks (denied thanks to kaspersky) from:
trojan-downloader.java.agent.hx
just wondering if anyone has encountered java opening them up to this?
Had fun with fletch's diving game need to think of what I want to make...Quick question, regarding multiplayer how are you guys farming trees so fast? I saw that Fletch had a tree farm..
Obsidian is pretty cool. Hardest mine-able rock there is, not useful for much though. Can farm it, by pouring water on lava.
I think we should wipe the Polycount server clean for the 31st update. Take some screenshots/videos, wipe it, then start anew with the biomes. What do you guys think?
Found two spawners (spidey/skellie) right next to each other. Minecraft just challenged me to up my trap building skills! >:] There's also a 3rd down the way in this huuuuuuge cavernous dungeon.

Post the coolest thing you've built so I can put it in the first post and inspire others!

from the forums: "They are 4x4x4. Notch has confirmed it at least three times now."
Ps. here's a cube to bring you to the new hell dimension.

...for now. Got like 500 wood blocks from taking it all down though, so I'm gonna build a super tall tree instead.
Assuming they haven't been stolen from my crate, heh.

Blaaaaaah!

Edit: YAY its mc.polycount.com. time to look around.

wish you could make custom compasses that point to your own set location...

Yeah, but server would have to be reset, old chunks will stay old, only new ones will generate biomes.

This might help...

Also I think crashiness is usually due to either someone creating/destroying cart tracks, or people setting their view distance (F) to the furthest.
thanks Eric. Was mining and found this beauty

I know we could just go off in a random direction but most of the activity seems to be around the spawn point, heh.
Its used for building portals into the hell world in the new update.
Since Ghasts spit exploding fireballs I'm pretty sure most hell-fortresses will be built out of obsidian as well.
My first, one spawner, trap at http://chriszdana.com/minecraft/

It's a 32x32 set, so you'll need to use this patcher to get animations working correctly, after you install the texture pack. http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=46173
I love this texture pack...so much so that I'm dreading what the Halloween update will break with it.
