I got Minecraft (Alpha) yesterday. I played for a few hours. I made a castle, a dungeon, and a house. I realized that's pretty much what the entire game was. It's like Legos, but slower and you can kill stuff. If you're thinking about getting it, the free version is almost exactly the same. The weapons/enemies don't really add anything to the game. Don't waste 9.95 Euros on it.

Good news!
All those who made the call to NOT upgrade from 1.7 to 1.8, are getting their just rewards. http://i.imgur.com/djSvZ.png
The above diagram shows that while those who didn't upgrade to 1.8 will probably miss out on the ever-increasing amount of coal and iron in the surface layers, they will enjoy a much higher amount of all the other ores. As useless as they may be, you will be swimming in a lot more gold and diamond than the 1.8 fags.
