I can't believe people don't play this game...
Really though, as enjoyable as it is, I find it hard to believe that there would be such a DEDICATED following to MC. Sure, its fun and a good creativity toy, but there isn't really all that much there. At least not yet.
I bought it back in Alpha, when it was 10 Euro (~$14) and was "You get everything." All it was at that point was building and monsters about. Now its building with monsters about with a new area with monsters and neutral monsters and wolves. I can appreciate that Notch was basically the only developer, and had Jeb(?) help for a bit, but I think that the game could use a few extra modes.
I remember talk of a "Zombie Siege" in which zombies would attack you all night, even breaking down your walls in attempt to kill you. That would/could be challenging and fun, more so on multiplayer. With my VERY limited knowledge of coding, this doesn't sound too hard to add to what already exists in the game.
What I am trying to say is that I'll become a huge fan if Notch can show that he is capable of tapping into the potential of his own game. But right now I'm not seeing that, as he is limited by fixing all that exists right now (Patch 1.6) and is the only one who is doing it. I guess I don't see how one can be that enthusiastic to travel to Nevada just for a Minecraft-Con, as the game is nowhere near what it could be.
Why love the cream puff before the filling is added?
