lol?

mite haf 2 get that

I've put like 70 hrs into Terraria @_@. So easy to lose track of time with that game. It's actually way diff from Minecraft. Think of it as a sandbox Zelda with Minecraft components.

@Sorth, Minecraft is coded with java and in 3d and the worlds are massive. It really doesn't need much more than a decent vid card. The new settings do help though like Frameskip. Plus the playtime required to achieve your goals in game if you're new to it is ridiculous.

This is a almost 7 yr old lap top that is gasping for air to turn on.

Not everyone has shiney new...fug mildy used laptops to play around on.

Been thinking about getting Terraria. Been watching a lot of videos on it and it seems really fun. But probably more enjoyable when you got a couple of people to play with.

Damn updates in Minecraft are making me angry having to download the mods all over again.

I'm gonna buy Terraria when the 4 pack goes on sale.

I actually used to run a server hosted on a VPS. I just stopped paying for it cuz I was only getting like 2 people per day(sometimes per week) joining it and it stopped being worth the price. Regular SMP servers aren't that hard to run, it's when you get mods and plugins involved that it gets difficult. Java being the memory ***** that it is makes it REALLY hard to find places to host your server at a reasonable price.

If you need any help with setting it up just shoot me a msg. There's also those treepuncher guys who set up servers and host them for 5 people for 5 bucks a month. Pretty good deal considering my vps cost 6 times that.

As for Terraria, it really is worth the 10 bucks, or 7.50 if you bought the 4 pack to split with friends. The only problem with it is that once you've become OP, the bosses are no longer a challenge and you can only fight 2 of the 3 bosses again. I think it took me and my friend a good 5-6 minutes to beat the first boss for the first time, and now it only takes like 45 seconds to solo them. Of course it certainly didn't help that my friend and I got the game day 0, and put like 15 hrs per day into it til day 4.

If you do get terraria, Make sure you play with a friend. It's not that it's boring or anything, it's just you might need help early on cuz you'll be stuck with crap weapons, and unlike Minecraft where you go from wood to stone like 10 min into the game, you can't do that in this.

Unlike Minecraft, The server isn't that hard to set up, it only requires you open a second instance of the game and open 1 port on your router.

Luckily the game is only like 2-3 weeks old and they've promised updates every couple weeks that are free.

It's games and game developers like these that make me think that the gaming industry still has hope. Cheap games that are fun while challenging and you don't have to pay for updates. I really do thank the Indie gaming market.

I misspoke.

I don't wanna set up a server.

I'm not sure how to download an adventure map and play it in multiplayer. I downloaded a Survival Island map last night, but I couldn't find a mutliplayer one.

Wish I had know you had a server SeaMonk, I would have joined :p

[tarheelblue89]

Yea I would have easily joined your server Sea.

[Seamonk]

I'm actually thinking about getting it again once 1.7 comes out. I wanna see how 1.6's bugfixes pan out with mods and such. I also wanna try diff hosting solutions.

And you can still run the server off your computer. You just use the .exe gui launcher off the minecraft.net download page. You just gotta make sure you change the world name to whatever world you want it to be in the server.properties(i think this file only gets made once you run the server once)

Terraria will be even more awesome when I get the 4 pack for $7.50.
