The wiki and changelog say the demo mode is now offically in the game. Sorry if I sound like a noob, but how do I try the demo mode? I don't actually need the demo mode because I have the game, but I just want to try it to see what it's like. So how do I try it out?

Dude.
Its JUST like ours, but one world generated only and its timed for 100 minutes, sorta like a updated demo

I know, but I want to give it a shot anyway.

The wiki does not even have any steps yet for how to do it.

Get a Mojang account but don't buy Minecraft. If you try to launch Minecraft with this account, you should get the option to launch the demo mode.
At least, this is how I THINK it works.

I would love to see this confirmed.

I want to know how the demo works because I would like to talk my friends into playing it.

I'll give it a go..

EDIT with UPDATE: Nope, "User Not Premium"

It was just tweeted how to do the demo mode thing.

I didn't get the "demo" option, just the old "play offline". Maybe because I have logged in with my premium account prior. Maybe it needs to be a fresh install?

I made a new minecraft.net account to test this earlier. I didn't actually make a world though.
