The problem is that people keep trying to compare minecraft to terraria. TERRARIA IS NOT A 2D MINECRAFT!!!
What terraria and minecraft have in common:
-they both are made up of many different blocks or cubes
-they both allow the player to do what they want, whether it be mining, exploring, or fighting
Where they differ:
-minecraft, being 3D, allows players to build more things
-terraria has a much better fighting system(subject to change with the minecraft 1.8 update), with many more weapons, weapon types, monsters, etc.
-minecraft has redstone
-terraria has a better progression system, with many environments, monsters, and bosses, of varying difficulty
another area terraria is misunderstood is the death penalty. In terraria, items take the place that skills usually fill in your standard game. When you die, you don't lose all your hard-earned skills do you? Besides, losing your items would be a lot like starting over, in fact it would be exactly that, which is what hard-core mode is for.
Summary:
I think both minecraft and terraria are great games, just for different reasons. So go try terraria again, this time with an open mind!

I personally like Terraria better then Minecraft, and it does get boring after you did everything, but so does Minecraft. Of course you can build giant structures, but you can do that in Terraria too. The building aspect in Minecraft is better, of course, but theres nothing stopping you from building in Terraria either.
I like the pace Redigit is putting out updates though, alot of content for the first few updates.

Ever have the feeling your being watched? No, don't look behind you. I SAID DON'T.
Don't forget that Minecraft was adapted from another game. Terraria has blocks. And crafting tables. Now, in an exploration, survival, creative, and crafting game, what else would there be? The only easy way to create such a game would be with blocks.
Terraria focuses more on the RPG element. It has completely different play types, and you die more often than in Minecraft. I really enjoy Terraria. So stop bitching and spend more than five minutes in it before calling it a minecraft clone.

When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. I don't want your damn lemons! I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!
To be honest, once I've gotten everything for my world/character I have to say, what's the point? Sure, I can make a new world and a new character, but's what the point? I can play hardcore, but what's the point? It'll be harder, but the exact same game. Multiplayer? The exact same, except I get to finish it faster. It's not like there's a large amount of user made maps for it, and for the ones that are out there, they just don't have the same appeal to them. In Minecraft you can easily hide large spaces, whereas in Terraria you can easily see everything within the immediate area, should it be behind a wall or not.
Terraria, despite technically being more into its release schedule than Minecraft, is not as polished, complete, or balanced as Minecraft yet. That being said, the adventure/combat aspects of Terraria surpass Minecraft's, but I assume that will change after MC's Adventure Update. They're both very fun games, just give RE-LOGIC a little time to polish Terraria.
I bought it a while ago, and I WANT to love it, I really do, but it just hasn't hooked me yet. I'm still waiting for that moment. The one moment where my mind goes *click* and I just GET it. It hasn't come yet.
You guy's are n00bs. Play on hardcore mode. IF you die you lose EVERYTHING, and it's non-retrievable. But yea, terraria get's boring after a while, but minecraft also. Thing is, minecraft servers don't lag by me, terraria servers do. If I had to choose... I'd choose terraria, until the 1.8 update. As soon as the 1.8 update comes, MC all the way
Every game gets boring after playing it long enough, I've played more than 50 hours in Terraria, I'd say that was a well spent € 10.
Especially when I remember that most new games cost around € 60 (idk how many dollars) and usually take less than a day to complete, after which I'll pretty much never touch them again.
I played Terraria for about three hours. Got bored of it. $10 not well spent, for me at least.

Why would I play on hardcore? There's a fine line between repetitive and a game that is continually interesting. I do have to agree and say that I can't wait for 1.8
I can't wait for the next update from Redgit. Unlike Mojang who update every week. (Updates from Mojang get annoying!)
update every week? =_= Isnt it more like 3-6 weeks? minecraft dosent update THAT often
OT I just didnt like terria, though it might have been better if i hadn;t triied to start out like it's minecraft. Plus the corruption was really close to my spawn >_>

Your a such a great friend that if we were both in a falling plane and there was only one parachute... I would feel really bad and think of you often.
Yea!
It has digging in it??? WHAT A COPY!!!
You have just read this. You are also manually breathing.
Crafting Benches
Furnaces
Generated Block Worlds
Block Based
Yes, this man is correct. If you have furnaces in your game, you owe Mojang some royalties.
And let's not forget the green grass, brown dirt, grey stone, golden gold, and blue sky!
They stole all of mojangs textures!!!!

minecraft has its relaxing gameplay and its building gameplay while terraria has its nice fighting gameplay and less buggy online

FFS, I am obviously wonderful.
Agreed.

it looked fun, but i dont like the building NOR the exploration and combat part of it
if you swing your sword/axe/pickaxe in terraria you got shelter already, and the multiplayer part is not really needed
Terraria was fun. But it doesnt last long enough. It needs more content in between 'leveling' up.
