I've been playing Minecraft since the Halloween update, when I first learned about it. Back then, less than a million people had bought the game. On November 5, it will officially be one year that I have been playing Minecraft... and I feel that a lot has changed, including the fact that as of now there are exactly 15,155,994 (now it's 15,155,995... and 15,156,160 as of 10/18/11 8:33 PM EST) people registered and 3,833,121 (and only increased by 2 since I started writing this thread). Definitely in a good way, don't mistake this for one of those uber-retarded threads by self-centered dumbasses who think that Minecraft sucks now... and I'm not a Notch ass-kisser either.
Since the humble beginnings in May, to Minecon next month, Minecraft has had many loyal fans, and a few... silly... haters. You gotta admit that Notch has been adding some pretty silly updates, but we'd all do that if we came close to releasing a uber-popular game ourselves (of course, that also combines with the fact that he's a well-known troll). We'd crack under the pressure (fortunately Notch's amazing collection of hats cushions his head from his over-15 million fans' sheer collective weight (no wonder he likes Valve)).
I just abruptly came to a realization; Minecraft has changed so much in the past three years. Are you guys also feeling nostalgic/excited about the release? Or are you gonna start trolling about how much the new Minecraft sucks?
feeling the same, sometimes I feel I wanna play alpha just because of the nostalgia of it, the good old starting times.
I, like you, got it on halloween update too, but knew it since there where only about 20,000 buyers or something like that, and now it is something increasingly known all over the world, feels a little weird

It sucks, everybody in my fricking school plays Minecraft now, when I was the very first one (no joke) to actually know about it in my whole town. :/
Looks like we were really onto something. :biggrin.gif:
