Anyone else playing
Minecraft?
Over the past two weeks I've been staying up all hours of the night watching play through movies on youtube. Last night I finally signed up, paid my $14, and downloaded it. One night and I'm hopelessly addicted. I actually considered calling in sick today in order to sit in front of the screen all day.

The game is in the alpha stage at this point, which is part of the reason for the cheap price. New things are costantly being added everyday.
It definitely not about graphics, as you'd swear the game is out of the mid-80s. It's all about game play.
Basically the entire world is made up of cubes and you have to go around and collect resources, craft tools, build fortifications, and batton down the hatches at night because that's when all the baddies come out (Creepers, Spiders, Zombies, Skeletons...).
Tons to explore as the world that is generated for you is 3x as big as the actual earth (scaled of course). Pretty much no way you could see it all.
Oh and did I mention dungeons? You have to do some mining if you want the more precious metals, but by diggin down you can also reveal places where the baddies live.
There's no way I can do the game justice, probably better to go to the
Wiki page or just head over to youtube and watch one of the 1000s of videos.

I'm guessing this game is real hit or miss with people. You're either completely addicted (like me), or you think this is the dumbest thing in the world.
EDIT:

You only need to do this if the dots beside the names in Hamachi are red. If they are green, you don't need to.
Okay, so just go to Hamachi, click the 'Network' tab, go to 'Join an existing network' and enter this:
Network ID: HSMC2
Password: heroscape
This is the second network I have set up. Then, to join the server, use the following IP adress in Minecraft itself, when it asks you for the server IP.
5.195.120.146
If that address doesn't work, try adding :25565 to the end.
Only read if above did not work:
Spoiler Alert!
So, you MAY need to reinstall because Hamachi, stupidly, has no option to 'forget' your user settings, i.e. the network you're connect to, in this case, the HSMC network. Just go here and download the installer, run it and select uninstall, then run it again and select reinstall.
Then reconnect to the HSMC2 network:
Network ID: HSMC2
Password: heroscape

Well, the server has changed a bit since the last one. There is no more item spawning, it is now a legit world.
The map seed is Glacier, and as such there's a huge valley with massive mountains on each side. One of the mountains has been taken over by me and EpicNinjaBroz's base, which is going to be used for the spawn city. You spawn in a half-destroyed (IHA's fault )house on the opposite mountain. You are then free to do whatever you want. The Nether is also working, if you can find obsidian to make a portal with.
Some helpful commands:
/cprivate: Type this and left-click on the block to lock doors, chests, furnaces, and any other storage container.
/warp and /warp list: Type /warp list to list the warps you can warp to. Type /warp followed by the name of the warp to warp there.
/kit starter: The starter kit is the only available kit. I believe it gives you wooden tools and planks.
World map:
CONNECT INFO
The IP is 5.192.81.75.
Make sure you`re on hamachi network HSMC2.
Info if you`re not:
