Just wait till you find a mine: they are HUGE, and i mean REALLY huge.

Me and some buddies spent several hours just trudging around inside of one, exploring caves and braches, clearing out spiders and getting loot.

It was awesome.

This has to be the longest in-beta game out there. It looks like you have rediscovered your love for MineCraft. Perhaps I should dust of my own!

I kinda like the empty villages. It's like the Hitchcockian horror; the scary stuff is what you *don't* see. Why are the people gone? What made them leave?

...sometimes a desolate, abandoned town isn't really empty, it's just populated with conjecture, fear and paranoia. Once again, the biggest part of enjoying a game is in your mind. Great games feed that, rather than try to be explicit about everything. Human imagination is so much stronger than any multimillion graphics suite.

@Jondare: The caverns are huge enough!

@Bronte: My theory is that it will never leave beta. Why should it? Sales seem to be perfectly fine anyway, and beta is a free pass for bugs. :)

@Tesh: My current theory is that they left after they realized that the whole place is on the verge of collapsing into a very deep, very deadly cave system.
