I still love Minecraft a lot, but it only gets fun when I am playing online imo. We had this great server on this forum, but it was shut down earlier in October because of financial issues of the owner. Real shame, but it was seriously a lot of fun etc.
Only last night I spent a few hours working on a creation.
I am also looking forward to seeing what the Xbox 360 version will be up to.

I have to say, I feel the same way as Dale. I played Minecraft for a bit, got bored/lazy and then it just sorta went away.
I'm kind of to this point where I believe that, despite things said, the game won't ever come off of Beta status. At this point, with so many sales and updates, there's not much of a reason to. I kind of wish Notch would just call a spade a spade on that.
on a side note, more article and current events related, I hate to think about how much of this money is going into legal fees right now.

I played it like mad but my friend got a little bored so I've stopped. I've let features build up and with the forthcoming full adventure update I think I'm going to get back into it. For a while there was this period where if you hadn't continued playing all the way through you didn't know all the new tricks/secrets and every multiplayer server was already filled with buildings and creations you couldn't even match.
Was fun while it lasted. The whole Beta situation fucks me the wrong way. Seems like that word is just attached to the game as a safety net for the developers. Updates lack any substance to keep me playing.
@BoomEchoes: It has a release date, and the game has been feature-frozen for a number of weeks now.
And yes Dale, it's just you. Minecraft has an amazingly large fan/player/mod base. On top of the vanilla game which now has enchanting and experience points, there are so many mods and server extensions for the game that you can do almost anything in the game now. Run cities, create clans, go to war, capture the flag - where you and an opposing team build bases to protect your flag before assaulting, breed animals, add airships, ziplines, industrial mining elements, a plethora of farming options, alternate realities, dragons, werewolves, parkour, etc.
The game is thriving and it wont be going anywhere anytime soon.

I still play from time to time,
and I've already spent a few hundret hours,
thats way more then any other non MMO game has ever lasted, so this is defenitally not just another game for me.

I've played minecraft almost more than I've played Wow by now. Me and some friends are in our biggest build yet, survival mode, none of that pansy creative. A huge ass citadel (Looks a bit like the Oblivion main city). It's bloody brilliant this game.
I'd still be playing this game from time to time if it didnt crash a minute after opening it. I even spawned in this world that had amazing geography with cliffs, waterfall, and forests within ravines, it just seemed too cool. Apparently there's a fix for it, but i'm just too lazy. one day
I still haven't the slightest clue what Minecraft actually is. People keep describing it as a game, but all they ever talk about is building things. From descriptions, I can only imagine it as a glorified set of digital LEGOs that can occasionally get blown up by a green thing.

That's not far off from the truth.

You mine things, you craft things with those materials (swords) or use the materials for building stuff. Monsters come out at night. The sole objective is to see how much items you can whore and how rare they are. Fun is optional.

I need to get hold of some mods and maps as I'm bored of simply playing with survival. I have the PC Gamer map they backed up to disc that's about 2gb to play with at some point (they want to wipe their server and start fresh again). But yeah some maps would be worth checking out.
I spent some time with Minecraft not too long ago. While it didn't resonate with me, I could definitely see the vast appeal to certain personalities. My stance on things like Minecraft is best described with a Mother 3 quote.
I got bored of it as a sit-on-your-ass-in-front-of-a-computer game. I'm really excited for when it becomes a sit-on-your-ass-and-play-while-you-poop-at-work game (iOS version).
"For me, Minecraft came and went."
Just like the bunch of money that went into Minecraft. lololololol
I still wonder where the money went. 4 million copies, that's sooo sick when you think it through. Take a look at the product as it is now to the product it was nearly a year ago.

I stopped playing Minecraft because I got sick of the community, theyre worse than WoWs community. No Im not exaggerating, yes I actually played WoW(for 4 years). They do nothing but bitch.
I played Mincraft around 1.7-1.8 but Im waiting to play the full version before getting into it again... when I have nothing else to play.

Still playing it, one of the only games you can play any way you choose to. I love the quirky development strategy, it's like your buddy is making this sweet game and letting you try it every time they add something cool. Hopefully mojang will keep actively developing it after 1.0 is released at minecon.
After a huge initial rush of playing, I had the standard burnout period where I had to take a break and do other stuff. I still come back to it in spurts and still love the hell out of the game. The community-made challenge maps like SkyBlock are great if you need a slight change of pace.
I'm a bit confused as to why you would feel the need to write a post about this if you clearly don't care about the game.
