| If none of you have played Minecraft, now's probably a good time to get interested. On December 20, Notch, its creator, will be upgrading the game's status to Beta. A lot more content than is already added will be added, like a "non-intrusive narrative" that will provide an ultimate goal. For more detail, visit Notch's blog:
http://notch.tumblr.com/
However, another change will be that the game's price will be raised from 9.99 Euros to 14.95. In addition, any further versions of the game will not be free.
Fortunately, he is keeping his "buy it once" promise to the people who bought it during Alpha (meaning that the above, about the future versions not being free does not apply), so if you are minimally interested or will be in Minecraft EVER I suggest buying it now. _________________  |

Actually, multiplayer does work, and the only reason he's upgrading to beta is that he's more or less worked out the kinks. Go to the blog, scroll down a bit.
As for the appeal, MC is a multi-faceted sandbox builder game, meaning you set your own goals (as it is now) and build your own constructs. For some people like myself, that alone is a big turn-on. It might not be for others.
So if you like building vast empires of buildings you only wish existed in real life and spelunking in uncharted caves littered with monsters, this is for you. If you like 100%-ing or games that have a definitive ending, this might not be. The game is as entertaining as you are adventurous and creative._________________ |

| We will also change the license to remove the line that promises all future versions of the game for free. Please note that this change only affects people who buy the game after December 20, so if you got the game for during alpha, you will still get all future updates for free, despite this change. A promise is a promise.
Buying the game during beta will include all updates up until release, of course, and bug patches will be free.

| Yep! Why I'm saying that if you think that you will ever want it, get it now, BEFORE 12/20.
It doesn't affect anybody who already has it. _________________ |
