well here's a question, might be the million dollar question, why didn't notch sue the makers of fortresscraft? I mean it's literally the same thing minus the animals and added a hi-res texture pack... because they did not use any of MC's art, or coding... same goes with why didn't MySpace sue Facebook...so the question here is why do you think it's a rip off when your forgetting a basic element here...
the things in MC and things in Terraria are basic
you need to move dirt what do you use a shovel, but their are rocks as well so we use a pickaxe instead (same as MC previous versions)
you need to defend yourself, like any other game you have a mob that is essentially somewhat harmless. (any adventure game you can think of...) they both may have zombie's and mobs that spawn in the night but here's the thing ever herd of the cliche term "things come out at night"? yes then it's just simple logic zombie's are what's popular these days... vampires, werewolves, zombies...
you use swords the quickest thing someone can think of and the quickest thing someone can make. you don't start off with some awesome folded steel Katana or a M4A1 assault rifle right? so it's wood... (same as MC and some adventure games)
you need to build, first thing you do either make a dirt house or a wooden one or maybe in a cave. not some grand stone/iron/copper/silver/gold impenetrable fortress... (same as MC and probably some other games survival instincts)
you need to craft things, you need a station to do it... MC has a workbench and furnace, Terraria has a workbench, anvil, table, alchemy station, furnace and hellforge, WoKF has npc's that do it for you, Runescape has furnaces, stoves and w/e else..
My point is that they are different games but games will have traces of other games I mean what about FPS' that use the same type of guns? I mean but their are clear differences i mean MC doesn't have magic, grenades, bomb's, guns, wands, magic equips that boost certain aspects like attack speed double jump.
ALL SHOOTING GAMES ARE A RIP OF DOOM
ALL BLOCK GAMES ARE A RIP OFF OF LEGO

All right i've been thinking.. when life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade, MAKE LIFE TAKE THE LEMONS BACK. GET MAD! I DON'T WANT YOUR DAMN LEMONS! WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THESE?
Does MineCraft have floating eyeballs, boss monsters, NPCs, currency, integrated multiplayer server creation, and character customization without skin editing?
nope.

Terraria is an awesome game that, having played it extensively, only barely seems to draw from Minecraft.
They're both great fun, and just because they share some sandbox elements does not mean Terraria is a ripoff. MC is about building and exploring, like a traditional sandbox game. Terraria is largely about fighting and advancing, like an RPG.
Coming from an ex-moderator, I don't think this is really an issue to be concerned with.
@TROPITHUNDER250
dude you cant even spell terraria so shut up go play it and you will understand your just trolling because you don't have the money to by it.
I can't believe that 'Terrania' can just spin off minecraft and say it's there game and then make people PAY for the game when really they just made minecraft 2D! I mean, if i was Notch i'd sue Terrania because there game has no originality! I hope that Terrania gets taken down due to legal rights and stuff. Well, what would you think if you had a terrific game that was copyrighted and all that than someone took your game and made it 2D! Big deal, it's still your idea but your not getting any money for practically your own work? Just tell me what you think.
You're so wrong... I bet you'd like it if you played it! The only thing it has in common with minecraft are the blocky graphics. That's it. Minecraft focuses on building stuff. Terraria focuses on fighting bad guys and getting better weapons and tools. It is also a MMORPG, minecraft isn't.
you sir, no offence are retarted (no offence).If you would take a moment and a do a little bit of looking at terraria, mabye gave it a chance you could see its ggot some obviouius similaritys but, there3 is many differnces
The only real similarites between terraria and minecraft is that its a survival game, and there is crafting and terraria is KINDA blocky, though not really.
incase you still dont get it let me explain some differences.
1.way more mats.
There is way more materieals that you can make tools out of in terraria.
2. way more tools
there are way more tools to be made in terraria
4.way more enemies.
there are way more enemies in terraria
5. The fun aspect of the game.
In minecraft, the fun is strong in building but a little weak in exploaring/fighting
In terraria its the other way around, as in terraria is heavily based on fighting and exploaring..
6.npc's and money
terraria has them, minecraft does not.
Now dont get me wrong, i love minecraft, but i also love terraria. They are both differnt games with a similar big picture but differnt things to do. I think that if you took a closer look you would se terraria is not just a ripoff of minecraft, hence why notch likes it. he obviously has seen alot about it and realizes the game is differnt yet unique.
oh and this qoute
"I mean, if i was Notch i'd sue Terrania because there game has no originality! I hope that Terrania gets taken down due to legal rights and stuff."-you
Ok let me say somthing about this qoute.
Thats like saying COD, Homefront and Battlefeild should all start sueing each other because there all hd shooting games.
Now sir i dont mean to insult you or troll you, i am just explaining my opinoin on this topic. I hope this changes your mind about terraria. I'm not trying to get you to like terraria (i dont care if you like it or not) but, i want you to realize that terraria is differnt. Some ways better, and mabye some ways worse.
1. Notch agreed to terraria.
2. It's Terraria, not Terrania
3. there is more to it than just saying it's minecraft in 2d
4. Don't judge it until you've tried it.
5. I like it! :biggrin.gif:
Here is something I honestly want to know of you, OP. How old are you? You're 13 and under aren't you? (I'd be surprised otherwise)
Having participated in many Minecraft vs. XXX threads:
* Fortresscraft (They're right. If only they worded their threads in a way that DIDN'T make me want to punch them)
* Terraria (*cough NOPE! *cough*)
* Craftworld (*Casts awesomeness spell with the magic feature*)
i play terraria much! and now i dont like minecraft :sad.gif:
terraria have much better graphic and no lags!
(dont ask,why i have terraria,just no)
ITS A RIP OFF OF ALOT OF OTHER THINGS TOO!
the things in MC and things in Terraria are basic
you need to move dirt what do you use a shovel, but their are rocks as well so we use a pickaxe instead (same as MC previous versions)
you need to defend yourself, like any other game you have a mob that is essentially somewhat harmless.

EDIT: aren't we not supposed to post topic's of these on minecraftforum?
http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/328409-please-read-terraria-threads/
By your logic;
ALL SHOOTING GAMES ARE A RIP OF DOOM
ALL BLOCK GAMES ARE A RIP OFF OF LEGO
Fun forum about lamps
nope.

P.S. Post about Terraria in other games. That is where it belongs.
