Minecraft Forums

Some show on indie games was talking about the documentary. I didn't buy it for months.

I was following notch's very early at java-gaming.org, i didn't expect anything like this!

But i voted seananners, his videos were the first i watched and by that time i realised what minecraft would become.

holy ****... i... dont... remember...

Some of my friends kept suggesting it, and one day my friend came over with it. I played it all night and got a terrible migrain. When he left, i wasnt convinced if i wanted to spend money on it, because he has it and comes over all the time. I watched the yogscast for awhile, and was instantly hooked.

I first learnt about Minecraft through the likes of the Yogscast guys, because at the time they were making World of Warcraft videos (unfortunately, they have slowed down) and I wanted to kind of try it out, but I couldn't be bothered and had no way to purchase things on the internet.

I am confused, you played a MMO but you couldn't purchase things online?

I refuse to vote until X is being put in to the poll

I remember google searching some games to play and minecraft being one of them. It was during alpha stage, and eventually lost interest at the time to the point of me forgetting about the game. Then around beta a friend suggested the game to me, and saw the improvements it made and bought/played it ever since.

Through the yogscast; I was watching their review of LOTRO once, although I din't like their hatred to lotro, since I love that game, I chanced upon their minecraft series, and then after watching most of SOI I bought the game :biggrin.gif:

Haha well i first discovered Minecraft really early this year (maybe January) so i asked my parents if I could buy it and they said no, so Minecraft sort of faded away...

By this time i had completely forgot what Minecraft was (this was a little bit before summer) so as usual one day i was messing around on the internet and i came across the Yogscast.I watched their survival island series and Iinstantly fell in love with the game again and started remembering it.

So this sparked a VERY long addiction to Minecraft and i began obsessed with the Yogscast series, so then i started bugging my parents asking if i was allowed to buy Minecraft myself. But they always said no. So one day I had to stoop as low as saying it was educational. They were pretty annoyed how i was asking 24/7 and finally let me buy it. The ONLY thing i didn't like about Minecraft that i had never thought of before was LAG. I run on possible the WORST laptop you can think of so i was pretty annoyed.

Over the next few months leading up to today i made about a thousand changes to increase performance to Minecraft. It increased a good 15 FPS.

I am still hooked on it and i am getting a gaming computer this Christmas. That will fix all lag and problems to the game. I have told a few close friends about Minecraft (maybe 4) and they actually enjoy it and play it. We have spread the word about Minecraft and we have convinced a couple other classmates to buy Minecraft. :wink.gif:

And that is my story.

Long post is long haha.

I'd heard about Minecraft around the 'net, occasionally saw screenshots while browsing sites like 4chan and reddit. Although the concept was interesting because I'm a huge lover of sandbox games, I initially wasn't interested in it because of the unattractiveness of the game's graphics.

I ended up playing Terraria with my boyfriend for a few weeks on the recommendation of one of our close friends, and heard a lot of people mentioning that Terraria is basically Minecraft with 2D graphics. I was okay with Terraria's graphics because they're cute and stylized, however Terraria eventually got boring.

Finally, I stumbled across Ben Yahtzee Croshaw's review of the game and got a much better idea of what Minecraft actually was. I was significantly intrigued but still not enough to get over the unattractiveness of the graphics, and Minecraft got pushed to the back of my mind for a little bit longer.

Finally, a couple of friends ganged up on me and convinced me to buy it. We play together on a private multiplayer server and enjoy talking about the game together and showing off our creations. Now I use custom texturepacks and I'm not really bothered by the graphics at all. :tongue.gif:

Bump, adding reddit

A clone of minecraft for the psp called "lamecraft" won the genesis competition and I played it and loved it. I was like well the original must be better and there we go.
1.7.3 is when I started.

I just recently got into the game but I've played with friends at school and stuff like that. So now I just decided that I should dive in. Personally to me it's great to see and watch how Minecraft continues to evolve over time. The community here is great and the game itself is awesome to play with friends.

He got a lot of people into Minecraft!

I kept hearing about minecraft and at some point near December I decided to pick up a copy. I thought it was pretty fun but really really needed to play some multiplayer. I went onto a few servers but was quickly confused. I decided it would be a fun project to throw an old pc into a server. It just kept growing after that..

I'm not sure of my very first exposure as I was aware if it before I was convinced to try it, I just wasn't sure what the heck it was. The community for the game Neverdaunt 8bit was always talking about this game "Minecraft" comparing it and sharing stories. As I was getting increasingly frustrated with the balance of Neverdaunt I decided to try Minecraft and never looked back...

A friend showed it to me and I started playing right away. It was a year ago, about a month or two before Beta.
