MineCraft?

[Brandon H Supervisor]

no, we need an alpha server so we can actually mine and create things so we can build the town of Neowin :)

[splur]

honesty i was hoping for an alpha client server, so we can actually do stuff

There is one.

Major problem with the most recent one is you can activate monsters but can't kill them.

Lets see if that works.

Edit: Silly instructions, that's for the old server format. You can get the right IP from the link though.

idk what it is about this one but trying to connect to it just causes my java to become unresponsive ....

ok that explains that, got the IP from the address and am in

also, here's the IP 123.243.175.201

IP one failed to connect.

i finally broke down and bought this game yesterday

there's definitely huge potential here

i've only managed to put a few hours into the game

but i'm finding it very frustrating that i can't find any iron ore =\

but i assume that by the time this gets into a beta a lot of these things will be ironed out

for ~$10 it's totally worth it if you're into sandbox type games

a working alpha server would be fantastic

i'd love to work on a neowin city... no... neowin EMPIRE

[crispkreme]

Yeah, the server will most likely be down until 4pm CST. I'll see if I can get an alpha server running. And also, that isn't my ip.

[Tech Star]

Free to play weekend....errr...or until he fixes the server issues, then you have to buy it. :p

[crispkreme]

Its up!

Alpha server ip: 71.194.249.122

Fyi, I am just running this on my desktop so the server will go offline when I put the computer to sleep. I will restart the server when I wake up.

but your situation wasn't quite as funny, he was trying to make a fireplace and failed horribly :p

if he was smart he would've surrounded the fireplace with glass before starting it

check out this video someone made for the game

Bit cringeworthy.

No creepers either?

Good fan made trailer. Made me want buy another copy of the game as a gift for a friend, when the purchase option is going to be available again.

Not because the game is that good (lost interest in it the second time, and this time for a long time it seems), but because I hope this game is gonna have a bright future and I'd like to support the developer (North, Narch, Nircht.. what ever his name) even more.

God.. that just goes to show how epic the Inception soundtrack is... such a good trailer.

Well this is interesting..

I Just got an email:

Someone requested a password reset for your Minecraft account.

If you didn't, please ignore this email.

I don't have any viruses on my computer, and I sure as hell didn't send a request..

So.... What the hell is going on? :blink:

[Pablo2008jedi]

Just got shown a video of this, concept looks good!! and for $9.95 I'm willing to try it :)

[KiHu]

Bought game today. Been dabbling around in it. Very interesting.

Still trying to figure out the fricking smelter..

Someone requested a pass reset, probably just to check if he wasn't already registered. Just do what the e-mail said, and ignore it.

Put coal in the bottom slot, and then the ore you want to smelt in the top slot.
