Topic: Why do people play Minecraft? (Read 5724 times)
It isn't all about what you see, but what you can imagine. Same with the 'gameplay', why be led when you can explore.
Last night, I built a lava moat around my house to protect me from creepers..... in retrospect I probably shouldn't have built it out of wood.
lqtm, sorry
Moreover, great video games do not need terrific graphics. Isn't Tetris still popular nowadays?
Graphics are terrible. I don't see any gameplay, just some boring world design stuff that's so tedious and dull, then you just explore a boring world with horrible graphics, including a square sun.
I play Minecraft and own one of the larger and older servers around. I play it because of the open nature of it all. I am not bound to do what the game creators want me to do, if I don't feel like slaying monsters I can go build something epic. If I want to make a adventure map I can. The game is never ending, that is my appeal to it.
Minecraft is an awesome video game, but it's even more than that.
I don't play video games much but I can tell Minecraft is a milestone in video game history. I also sincerely believe it will succeed where other games such as Second Life had quite failed. It created the basic blocks (pun intended) for a global, user-friendly virtual reality.

I for one don't play Minecraft. I prefer Dwarf Fortress. 
Minecraft is your old-new digital lego. Though it's get boring after a while, if you play alone.
lol., DF makes me feel dyslectic.Minecraft is your old-new digital lego. Though it's get boring after a while, if you play alone.
I'd like minecraft better if you could save what you build on your own machine. I like Roblox, but still I think you need to pay monthly to build more than 1 place. It's fun to build stuff and blow it up especially when others are visiting the place and they have no clue what is going to happen. kaboom!
You can.

Err, actually, to clarify / rephrase my above statement slightly:
That's how ((the full / paid version of minecraft)) singleplayer mode works 100% of the time
I did not know that. thank you. can you save models and import them in to one map?
Why yes, you can do that as well: MCEdit -- it is open source now, and even has a "schematic" system
MCEdit is the main tool we use on our server for moving and/or cloning areas and projects between and within maps.
(( This method in addition to worldedit plugin... World edit is nice, it lets us do it in realtime on a live, running server, but that's a bit more advanced ))
P.S. By the way, most people reply BELOW the quoted portion when replying to a topic

I agree.
I recently got into Tekkit myself. Programming Lua programs for in-game minecraft computers is fun!

Assuming you're using a windows computer, paste in this on the start menu search thingy:
%appdata%\.minecraft\saves
Also, for multiplayer, if the server admin is willing you might be able to get them to export your creations to a singleplayer-type save file and email it to you or provide a download link (if so, just put it in the saves folder shown above)
The server I play on we sometimes import and export things to the server that way.

I stopped playing it when I bought the 'real' version and it ... well sucked balls, I just want to build so it was a total waste
Before i stopped i made these, http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1444930370086.2061135.1437953884&type=3 ... I like optimus prime and gumby the most.

It'd be awesome if you could buy Minecraft with Bitcoin.

I apparently suck at Dwarf Fortress. My dwarves don't last long
What is minecraft? It's a game where you craft mines...
AHA,,, shud of thought of this one meself!!! After all, it makes total sense.
And it's actually pretty accurate, so far as it goes... The official site says it even better: Minecraft is a game about placing blocks to build anything you can imagine. At night monsters come out, make sure to build a shelter before that happens. It also has music by C418!
