I've only been playing the free version of this game, but it's like the only thing you can do is make and destroy blocks. Exploration yeilded nothing interesting andmaking stuff with blocks for hours on end is dull. This game was incredibly boring and was just not a good way to show off your game.

Do not wallow do not stall
Time waits for none at all
Your allowance may crawl,
It may fly or even vanish
But none will seem more lavished
Than time lost to all.

If you don't like it, don't play it.
Dude, that's the worst thing you could say! I didn't like the old versions, but I love the current game! If you'd give me that advice and I had followed it, I never would've bought the game! Way to be counter-productive, dude...!
people who like the older versions are less likely to be raider kiddie morons burning down everything not made of stone. let them leave.

Matt, seriously, stop trolling. So can you please shut the **** up and go troll the infdev forums about how much you want to get 10 bucks from your hobo house?

And they're not allowed to give Notch their money why, exactly...? Sold copies is a good thing. Period. And how the heck do you even come to that conclusion, anyway? I did enjoy classic survival - for like half an hour, then I thought "Well, this just became one of the most boring things I've ever played". So I read up on the game and then eventually bought it and now it's awesome. I'm certainly not a "raider kiddie moron", whatever the heck one of those is.
clearly not, which is why you read up on the game, and bought it. (raider kiddie morons, are the people who say they will do nothing in smp but run in circles burning stuff, screaming "IMA RAIDER" and mining down your cobblestone house.
personally, i would like to have more people who enjoy the constructive playstyle of multiplayer creative. i was harsh in my wording, but i dont think anyone will have a heart attack over it.

Have any of you played Fluxx? If you have, you might remember the rule and goal changing aspects of the game. Minecraft is like that. You start in a world of pure nature and change your rules and goals. Want to start a religeon? Go ahead. Want a tower in the sky? Go for it. No one here can really say what Minecraft's point is, because it's different for everyone.
Well, you're in luck, good sir. The free versions aren't supposed to show off the game! They're just old versions that are still up on the site for no particular reason other than because people still play them!
.......
Or, the best thing of all: Completely ignore everything I just said and go about doing exactly anything else. That's what sandboxes are for. And this is the best sandbox I've ever played in. Just remember to never dig down, and don't let creepers sneak up on you at night...
Saved for future use. Add in some Youtube videos and some streams of Survival to let people get a taste of it.
I personally bought Minecraft after watching Minecraft Indev (Early version) being played and reading what people thought about it. Videos are key to get people to get a sense of what they are buying.

The full version of Minecraft still has no point, per se, as it is a so-called sandbox game. In essence, I would describe it as a first-person fantasy action/adventure/sandbox game. You're presented with a randomly generated world of infinite size that you must explore to gather materials of various kinds. These materials let you build structures to live in and defend from the enemies which come out at night (and later, potentially other players in multiplayer), and also craft various items, weapons and tools. You can hunt animals for food and light clothing, chop down trees to make wooden tools that you can use to mine stone. A stone pickaxe will let you harvest iron if you're lucky to find any while you're spelunking in the enormous, randomly generated cave systems, usually inhabited by various monsters as well as features like underground rivers and lava waterfalls. Don't forget to find some coal near the surface first, so you can craft torches to illuminate the caverns!
aper for pages in a book, and craft yourself a bookshelf to stick in your house.

Probably the best response to a forum question since I've been on the Internet. Good job. Unlike the trolls that followed. ;-0
I must admit the web site really doesn't sell the game. I have heard mentions on podcasts, seen my friends play, and after checking it out, going "Huh?"
I am quite interested in buying it now after reading your post.
The best thing about minecraft (The paid version) is that you use your imagination to think of what you can do. You can do anything in this game (except maybe fish, but that will come soon). I just went ahead and bought the game, and I didn't even know what it was, or what you do, but my friends had the paid version and love it. You should get it. You will never experience the awesomeness in this game until you pay your money and get started!
Survival: You keep yourself alive and build things with more limitations than in creative.
That's all there is, take it or leave it.
Whats the point of drawing a picture?
Whats the point of playing with blocks?
I actually just bought the game because of the creative
Use for different variety of food
Now check out others suggestions
Climbing your @$$ off in minecraft
If you don't like it, don't play it.

You can get a _VERY_ limited taste of what the game is.
clearly not, which is why you read up on the game, and bought it. (raider kiddie morons, are the people who say they will do nothing in smp but run in circles burning stuff, screaming "IMA RAIDER" and mining down your cobblestone house.
