Well I can't speak for them, but personally I felt you were overreacting a tad. Monsters aren't that big a deal. Honestly. I was surprised that you quit over that. I mean, there's so many things you can do to deal with the situation that it was like, what?:o (For starters, don't go outside at night is an option...)

Minecraft on consoles?:eww:
I can't imagine the game working too well on a console. Although, I suppose with the new motion controllers both have now it could work?

There is already a game called Fortresscraft sold on Xbox arcade thingie (apparently it's selling quite well), which would be in a legal battle or two if Notch was American.

Not everyone wants to spend 5-10 or however many minutes it is doing nothing, waiting for day again and again. Lag also makes monsters infuriating at times. Especially creepers.

And planting 252452356 torches only to have a creeper blow me up anyway because I forgot to light a single corner isn't exactly my idea of fun either.
In the end though it stopped being about the monsters and turned into me being treated like shit because I was the only person who didn't think that shit was at all enjoyable. So watching everyone else get bored with the game and frustrated with its idiosyncrasies 2 months later was funny because I did that before it was cool.

Fine, it's not your cup of tea... But to act like it's such an annoyance when there's any number of solutions is just ridiculous in my opinion. But since it's apparently impossible to get you to change your mind I'll just drop it.
Also, if you hate anodal so much, go play on another server perhaps?
@dresden:
Uh, then don't stand around doing nothing then? There's always something to do in this damn game.

Achievements are meant to be some sort of simple manual or guide - at least the two from (
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHFiFcUmu1I) Yogscast phrased it that way.
But it should be noted that they don't work in multiplayer. As do the weather effects - they're not working or present in multiplayer either (apparently).
Furthermore: anodal: The client yesterday notified me of yet another version; Denied it and connected to the server. I don't know whether the server needs to be updated as well.

You can update safely :)

I stopped playing when the monsters came along too. It basically made it stressful, when my whole enjoyment rode on it being anything but. That, and it became a ghost town too. It was nice when there were 15 of us playing, with each kinda doing our own little part for the community. Jason would build his mine of death, dres and his awesome farm, bob and I tending the iumber, duck duping his ass off, etc...Once all of that was gone, I dunno, the magic fell out of it.

Thing is, there are tons of servers out there. Some have monsters, some don't. Some servers have 5 players, some over 100. You can find a server that has all the shit you want (or don't) if you look hard enough. I was amazed too by some of the variants of gameplay out there too, some servers have turned MC into an RPG with quests, or a huge Guild war, or a town building sim with different memberships/castes. Or just a total anarchy, PVP arena free for all. Pretty cool stuff.
Now true, I'd rather play with TTLG people, but if they're not playing, there's always options.
sNeaksieGarrett on 21/4/2011 at 16:22
True. I didn't even know about the RPG stuff. It's cool/crazy the kind of stuff modders have been doing with the game. Recently I watched a video of a guy playing zombiecraft(IIRC that was the name) which is basically that COD mode of zombie slaying from WaW and Black Ops but in Minecraft.
@Firefreak:
Yeah, notch already put a _01 patch out because of bugs that he fixed.
