Lol, I forgot the game was still in beta. I'll probably buy it sooner or later.

For you, it was.
It's 6:11 for me.

Alpha buyers such as myself have got it made with this game

Got it at the cheapest price, Get all the expansions, updates and potential DLC for free, and a all around EPIC game. Best purchase of my life.

Definitely can't agree with you any more than I already do. I abso-freaking-lutely love that game. It is definitely the best $20.74 I have ever spent on anything (with the exception of Pilotwings 64 standing tall right beside it).

For one, the version we deem as the “full version” won’t be very different at all from what the game was like a week ago, and we’ll keep adding features after the release as well, so it’s really more of a milestone when we finally get rid of the Beta label, and some kind of goal for us to work towards. The plan is to be open with this and try to get people to cheer us on as much as possible, but to be open with the fact that the game won’t change much at the actual release day. (It’s more a progress up until that point)

Notch quits development on November 11th!? *Herberts voice* OH NOOOO~!

Srsly, i know notch won't release any new content after the beta.

ive always been excited to see the new stuff that comes with each update!

I'll have to switch to Skyrim.

Isn't 11 a bad number:
Like the 9/11 coincidences:LINK
The Japan 9.0 earthquake and tsunami happened on March 11

Anything with 11 seems badluck so lets just hope nothing bad happens on that day.

Actually, in both instances they are both 9 and 11 in some way. Maybe it's only those two numbers together that are bad.

Minecraft, Skyrim, and Remembrance Day all on the same day?!?

I'm so going to buy it when it's full.QUOTE(Ikki @ Apr 7 2011, 04:17 PM) I prefer to pay the full price. My PC can't run it right now anyway

What? Why?
Have you tried the newer beta versions? They've been optimized quite a bit. I can run Minecraft Beta 1.3 on my 7-year-old single-core 2.2GHz CPU at 60+ FPS (and 120+ if I set it to the lowest settings). I haven't tried Beta 1.4, but I expect it to not make a difference.

 

[Maplemage]

I thought Minecraft was already out for ages?

It was, but this is the "full" release, it is currently in beta stages. Beta 1.4 to be exact.

WRONG! its 1.4_1

Wrong again. It's 1.4_01.
But back on topic please.

 

[Joe88]

Great.

I suppose they're going to charge for significant updates or expansion packs after that date. Since I purchased it during Alpha, I have nothing to worry about, though.

probably not, they don't seem like the kind of company do do that.

notch already announced it like a month before beta came out and noted the cut off date for the free expansions (which was when the game would go into beta)

I also purchased it during alpha (a day before beta was released to be exact) so I get all expansions free

beta and retail purchasers do not

 

[Splych]

wah , only alpha can get expansions and such for free .
looks like this game will just be put on hold :\

 

[CCNaru]

Pirated it, didn't feel right so I bought it... waste of money.

 

[DarkWay]

If I remember correctly I bought this in Alpha.....so expansioins e.t.c. should be free (anyway I can check to see when I bought this and what stage it was in?) I remember I paid like £7 for it and there were no deals on either....so I think it was Aplha.

In case some of you had already jumped to conclusions, Notch mentioned on his blog:

For one, the version we deem as the “full version” won’t be very different at all from what the game was like a week ago, and we’ll keep adding features after the release as well, so it’s really more of a milestone when we finally get rid of the Beta label, and some kind of goal for us to work towards.

I think it's safe to assume that this will include the usual updates along with the expansions (paid or unpaid depending on if you bought the game while it was in Alpha.

 

[Slyakin]

I'm not too excited about this... Like Notch said, it's basically just a name change. Then development will probably switch over to Scrolls, Mojang's next game.

I love everything about minecraft, but it is gonna die in a year or so... :/

 

[CannonFoddr]

Nice. I wonder if the Lightning Bolts actually exist and aren't just some random particle effect. I want there to be a risk of a bolt striking a tree and setting fire to stuff.

Hmm nice thought
- there's you stuck under a tree & it get's hit by lightning - half your health gone.... Or
As it's dark, out comes the MOBs & one get's hit by lightning - Barbecued Zombie anyone ??

Mind you - what if you've made a 'treehouse'??? - there's a risk of THAT getting burned down... have to have something to prevent that from happening - Lightning rod/Reddust trail perhaps??

 

[Sausage Head]

Will there be expansions/stuff like that?
'cause I believe Notch said that pre-beta buyers get all new stuff that gets released after the official game for free
