Terraria

The controls are weirding me out a bit, but I still go back to it every once in a while.

[Berober]

Not to bump an old topic, but I LOVE this game.

Someone figure out how online play works and LET'S DO IT.

A bunch of my mates and I got it working through Hamachi if that helps.

[Sousa]

More people need to play this. It's totally fun, even if the controls are fucking weird (mouse-aiming in a 2D game? really?).

[King Ellis]

I got kinda burnt out on it caus I think i've seen most of what there is to see, unless I go searching for ages for the various components to start making some of the higher end gear.

[apsham]

How often does the development team release updates? Are they constantly adding stuff via Minecraft?

I think a problem with the game is that although it focuses on the adventure elements of the game, it falls short of adventure content. Whereas in Minecraft the emphasis is on building stuff (with redstone and pistons and whatnot), there simply isn't much to do in Terraria once you've seen everything. For instance, having crafted the the most powerful sword in the game...what the hell can I use it on? I suppose I could spend an hour mining ore to forge the final armor set as well, but again, what for?

I figure it makes more sense to bring this thread back up now the Steam sale is over. Since a fair few of us got it during that, I suggest multiplayer some time soon.

[Ruki]

I would be up for multi in about 4 hours.

[Dan]

I'm down for it, I can stick the server up after the footy.

[MalaCloudy Black]

WARNING: I will throw bombs and steal things!

[TKz]

I still have no idea how to play but I'll be down I guess. When?

[TEOL]

I still have no idea how to play but I'll be down I guess. When?

Same.

[Dan]

I'll stick the server up very shortly, about 20 minutes.

[Ruki]

WARNING: I will drown you.

[Katsuya]

How do I get on the server, again? I can't remember despite Ellis telling me.

[apsham]

Might as well post it here - I'd like to play too!

[King Ellis]

If you don't have your character made yet then you'll need to go ahead and do that first.

You'll need to go to multiplayer, then click join, pick your character, enter the ip address, enter the port number (more than likely you can leave it at 7777), then there may be a password check if the server has one and that should do it. The game keeps a list of recently used IP addresses for future use.

Now, in our case, you enter ewbworld.servegame.com as the IP. The game might store the IP in regular numeric form but that might only prove useful for one night since I guess Dan resets his computer and the IP changes. Port is 7777 and password is ewbpass.

For some general info, to the right of the spawn area is a rather tall building that I made which houses various NPC's which will buy and sell certain items. Peopl have made a few houses of their own but i'm not entirely sure how best future housing should be done. To the left of the spawn we're a little too close to a dangerous area and to the right we're somewhat close to a snowy area which I wouldn't mind leaving relatively untouched for artistic sake. There should be room inbetween though for people to build, in amongst the remains of Cloudy's shacks which he suicide bombed for some reason.

What is this game?

[King Ellis]

In its simplest terms, it's viewed as a 2D Minecraft of sorts. You explore the game world fighting various monsters in order to find resources to craft into better items to go and fight bigger monsters...rinse and repeat.

I bombed my shacks because they sucked! And because people would cry if I bombed their shacks.
