    i played it for like a few months in 2009 and never touched it again. it was a novelty but the novelty wore off really fast and i was bored once i got diamonds.

    never understood why people like it so much.

    but my nephews all think my rpg/strategy games are ‘boring and weird’.

    I feel like the rise of live service games and rogue-likes that are based around incremental progression definitely shifted the status quo to everyone having like 1 game, maybe 2, where they spend most of their time. Every game seems to demand you commit more and more time.

      Oh boy. You have not seen what its become. There’s literally chemistry involved now. It can be as complex or simple as you make it!

      And im old, but I still enjoy it. Its more fun with a friend’s server. I dont enjoy the grind, but I like to play to level up and build some bases and try to kill the hard mobs. Eventually it becomes a grind and we drop it for a year and then come back and start it up again.

      There’s farming, mining, building, enchanting, fjghtng…it really has it all. Circuits too if youre into that, im not. I enjoy exploring all the cool caves and adventuring out to the far lands via boat. Hoping we dont die and lose all our diamond armor etc. The risk is what makes it fun then
