Finally… Minecraft Beta

Minecraft creator, Notch, finally announced that
the game will go into Beta on December 20, 2010.

He also announced that the price of the game will increase to 14.95 EURO,
after releasing the game.
Player that who bought this game before the 20th,
will continue receive free updates,
however, people who buy it after the 20th,
will receive free bug updates patches only.

There are more and more updates recently,
mostly focus on the “client-side” and “server-side” issues.
such as, player (client) put a painting on the wall,
but others (server) will not be able to see it, and after you re-log
you wont be able to see it too.

PVP & PVE works !
after waiting for so long,
which it creates another level of difficuity in-game.
such as building when mobs are around, and especially if you are
in a pvp allowed area.

Due to the pvp works,
different server has a different set of rules on pvp,
such as, there are no pvp in approved towns,
and within 50 blocks of the approved town to avoid players “camping” for their “prey”

Christmas in Minecraft

One of the payer in the server build a very nice christmas tree in the town,
and below the tree, those are christmas gifts,
player can go place something under the tree,
and put a sign beside or on top of the “gift”
telling who to gift and by gifted by whom

P.S. Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays
