I just dont thnk that the new Minecraft is as fun as alpha and early beta. I can only play for a few minutes then I get bored, I dont know why but the old Minecraft looked, and sounded different and it was beautiful. I just hate the new Minecraft. Anyone agree?
No, we are not doing this again. Every time there is a new update or nothing at all someone posts this kind of thread only for it to immediately turn into a flamewar and get locked. The deciding post will always be "You are just experiencing nostalgia, eventually 1.3 (full release) will cause these kinds of emotions" then a mod will say "^ This" and lock the thread.
your basicly experiencing nostalga. ive been playing since before 1.3 release, when it was still in that semi-public beta thing.And i must admit over time the terrain esspecially has got a bit boring, but its where i spend all of my time. looking at the same trees, or water etc. it also doesnt help that terrain generation in new worlds has been a bit stagnant IMHO despite all the new biomes and and kinds of tree's etc.
part of the problem i think is how things get old over time, and also despite all the new biomes, i feel like the rarity is too low. you also dont have a lot of reasons anymore to traverse the overworld. it has become easy to aquire all the materials you need, to build your worlds, and creations without travellin very far, so some of the new and unique places are never seen.

Yes i know, my spelling sucks.
Check out my You-Tube Channel (BringerofKaos) for plenty of Minecraft Content and my Lets Play series:
Yeah i kinda liked the earlier versions of minecraft. I played much longer than today. Neither Mods help playing minecraft longer. I just had much more fun before. But im not really sure why...
I always dont like the updates... Im feeling like minecraft is getting ruined with every update ;-;
What do you think?
Minecraft gets more boring as you go along because you aren't a noob anymore and nothing is as new or exciting. The same thing happens for all other games, I'm not sure why this is so hard to understand.

The reason is simple: you.
You're not a newbie anymore. You're not playing Minecraft for the first time. You're not exploring a whole new world, experimenting with a whole new concept, learning a whole new game. You know what everything is and how it works. The novelty is gone, and much of the excitement. And for you, Minecraft can never be what it was when you first started playing, even if you play the exact same version (which you can, thanks to the launcher). It would not matter how much or how little they changed the game since you first started playing because that isn't what matters; you are. That's what nostalgia is all about: wanting to recapture a time that can never exist again, because you are not the person you were then.
It's not some combination of game rules and graphics that we're longing for. It's the excitement of a new world, a new game, that we felt when we played Minecraft for the first time. Which version it was doesn't matter. Someone who started yesterday will feel the same way about 1.7.4 that someone else feels about Beta, or Indev, or whatever else they played first. You can't get that feeling back, not with Minecraft. Not with anything.
With the new Minecraft Launcher you can now set up a profile that uses an older version of minecraft. You can even go back to those days of Minecraft Alpha with it
They have no choice but to update the game further and further into the development scene. Anyone who played Minecraft during Alpha will always want to go back and play it because it was amazing to you when you first started. You could build a dirt tower and feel as if your life was complete.
I'm sure you can still play those versions, so there's no real reason to bring down the current version of Minecraft as "boring". I personally will somewhat agree though, as I don't play single-player worlds because they eventually get lonesome and I need to always be in the action. Therefore, I play mainly on multiplayer servers.
I've been playing since Alpha and honestly the game has gone from great to not so great to better. I'm running a no structures single player game and it's fun not having villages and stuff around. I managed to build a nice village by curing zombies.
I will say though the biggest down side to Minecraft now compared to back then is the fact that they use a client/server setup for single player. This has gotten better but the performance will never be near as good as it was back then. That's the only thing that really takes the fun out of the game for me.
It's even more fun for me now. But that's because I only just started playing again. I dabbled a bit when they added rivines and villages, but haven't played for hours on end since beta 1.3. So I still have tons of stuff to mess around with like the end, enchanting/potions, strongholds/temples.
Baseball, then Minecraft.

The EULA "changes" will not end minecraft servers.
