How can you know they said that, for all we know Notch was exaggerating, like he does often.
Or even flat-out lying.
What Notch did (posting some information about that) is absolutely useless and dumb.
We cant know if its true, because he doesnt even think about going into detail. yet he decides it would be smart to blog it so people get mad at bethesda
Once again proof that just becuase someone is smart, it doesn't mean they're right. Do you seriously believe that, if, for example, I posted something on Facebook it means I have a secret malevolent goal? -

This is very true aswell.
Posting about it on twitter and your blog and leaving out details sounds like he wants to mobilize his fanbase against bethesda.
and looking at this thread, it worked.
@Mulch
oh, i was reading 'COPYRIGHT COPYRIGHT' everywhere, so i used it myself
It's his personal blog. He also said duke nukem forever sucks. Does that mean he was trying to defeat it? No. Stop acting like Notch is a corrupt corporate businessman. Anyway, why would he want to compete? -

Big game companies try to keep the up-and-coming companies down by finding any way they can to topple them over, so they eliminate competition before it begins. It's a standard business technique, really. It happens all over, too, not just the video game world. In the music industry, independent record companies only control about 11% of the overall nation-wide music sales, but almost 80-90% of the most famous musicians were originally contracted to an independent company, and got jacked by a major company as soon as they got the slightest bit noticed.
Bethesda also has a tendency to sue people for just about anything they can... They even sued the company that was making the Table-Top D-20 version of Fallout. Albeit they didn't ask for permission, and this situation isn't even the SLIGHTEST bit comparable to that one, as that was a blatant copyright and trademark infringement, but THIS... If I'm not mistaken, trademarks don't protect EVERY SINGLE WORD in your trademark title.
I never really had much respect for Bethesda, anyway. Their games are dull, and poorly made. If it weren't for Elder Scrolls, they'd be a dead company by now.
I can't imagine how anyone could keep Minecraft down. They're innovative and famous, so even if you take away all they're money, they'll earn more in the next 5 minutes and still be able to pay their fees. They're also the first of their kind, so all the other games are
"copies". Also, they have a great modding community. -

aattss posted a message on Notch Reveals Leveling and PermadeathPosted in: NewsQuote from Duxwing
Levels sound interesting, but only if done correctly. It should not be the case that there are players grinding away for hours to go up another level; Minecraft would be foolish to compete with games that feature such a system. Furthermore, this could completely change the gameplay dynamics of SMP. Instead of everyone playing on an equal field, newer players would have an instant disadvantage when engaging older players. Though this is present to an extent via the armor system, it is not pronounced and diamond is readily availible with but a few hours' strip mining, along with every other ore in the game.
An MMORPG leveling system would also lock out features of the game to newer players, and this goes against the sandbox nature of Minecraft. There would also be problems regarding the transfer of levels between servers, or even between single and multiplayer modes. Along with grinding, offering rewards for drudgery would open up a whole new can of worms: bots, hackers account sellers, and resource farmers. These threats would rise from a minor annoyance to gamebreakers. It would also divert resources from creating new content for us to enjoy as players toward creating anti-hacking software.
This does not mean that any and all leveling systems are evil. There is a perfectly non-game-breaking way to implement levels. They would be but badges to display past achievements, and need not be in a hierarchy. For instance, having dealt a great deal of damage would yield the player the title 'Berserker'. This would not only remove the grinding aspect of levels, but give other players an idea of what the other player's playstyle is.
-Duxwing
Notch having leveling as badges is a very bad idea. It means that leveling is pointless and should not be added. Also, by putting a line between old players and new players, you decimate griefers and n00bs and trolls, while actual players are prottected by their town/faction where they will eventually become a higher level.
I have an interesting perk suggestion topic. -

1. It's not outdated. It's still being updated. It's merely that, because it's the coder's life's masterpiece, it'll be at least 20 more years before it's out of alpha, but it'll also be awesomer than the games they'll have in that time and age.
2. The graphics are bad because:
2a. The author was making a 3D game but found that graphics detracted too much from making the actual game.
2b. The game already tends to be laggy, it would only be worse with actual graphics.
3. How is King Arthurs Gold a mixture of DF? You've never played DF, have you?
1. It depends on the context. Some people spend lots of time on their creations.
2. Minecraft is an indie game with no in-game tutorial, no simple way to get any info other than research, and no advertising other than word of mouth. It used to be a lot more hardcore.
3. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/issues/issue_256/7622-Hardcore-Maleness
1. You'll get it after a while.
2. Loosing is fun. That's actually the official motto to the game.
3. They won't update the interface. The author stated that he like doing whatever he wants to do. You should stick to texture packs for now.

They basically play Minecraft while acting.

Oh, great. There is some extent of fanboyism, but once again, calling a bunch of people fanboys doesn't bypass people being skeptical about what you said. Basically, you are pretending to be an expert while insulting Notch, when real experts understand that someone isn't a fanboy just because he agrees with someone who happens to be famous.

2. Notch's entire motive for working on this game is because he wants to. If he cared about money he would have made another WoW or something. He is also not making it for the sake of us.
3. Notch does not endorse trolling.
4. An rpg is not a game where you have a roll. An rpg is a game where you grind and stuff, according to the troll/person posting the topic.

2. The goal of Minecraft might also be to make an epic building, or to pwn on your pvp server, or to make awesome redstone stuff, or stuff.
