Minecraft!

[Mountainous Cleavage]

Me and my buddy have been playing together recently, thanks to Hamachi and it being free. I gotta say, its tons more fun with friends playing too. Anyone else looking to play with a friend for free should look into it.

Works whether you're a pirate or a landlubber

Hmm, interesting, I was gonna ask about somehow setting up another EWB server.

[Herr Matzat]

I currently have almost no monny or time to Support it. But feel free to go ahead, i´ed be happy to join in... with nether being in the next update it would be intresting to start up again. :>

[=BK=]

I would but you see I'm in the same boat as far as money goes.

Everyone miss the 'free' part of the Hamachi deal? I could have a server set up for us to play on in 5 mins.

Hamachi isn't reliable at all and it isn't a permanent server unless you keep the server running 24/7. It's fine for quick games between two or three, but otherwise it's not really the best.

[Herr Matzat]

It´s much saver to just set up a server computer if you got a good internet conection. Problem is that Minecraft online is a little ram eater. Unless we have a total nerd owning all this stuff it´s much saver to just invest the 2 phound per month.

You love it.

So should've been "Gotta' dig down on Minecraft".

This may or may not be true, as I've only tested it with myself and one other, but I haven't came across any negatives really. Sure, you gotta have the program running for the server to be up, but when it is up, I've only seen it use around 50-60mb at most (or so it says), so it hasn't really taken a toll.

I'm a bit tired at the moment but tomorrow I will definitely put up a walkthrough for you guys to set up a Hamachi server.

EDIT: Notch has since updated it and Nether in SMP is now on the list.

Anyone have System Requirements? I searched on Google, but the only one's that came back gave an exact video card to have. Does anyone know what the Requirements are in terms of memory, like 32mb or whatever.

Please and thank you's

[TKz]

You'll be able to run it. You'd have to still be running Windows 98 to have problems with it.

[DJ Ice]

Good good. Thanks dude

[DJ Ice]

Sorry to double post, but I downloaded the beta. Made an account, tried to log in but it says "User not premium" Anyone know what to do/how I actually play the game?

[TKz]

...buy the game?
