Anonymous: I'm Addicted to Minecraft

Raptr has me tracked at over 700 hours of playing Minecraft. I'd be lying if I said that was accurate - it should be closer to 800 hours.

I discovered Minecraft on the Xbox360 at first, of course knowing what it was from mobile. I never thought I could enjoy a game with no actual goal as much as this. I haven't built anything massive like you see floating around the web though, I like to keep things in Steve scale. So I made a gigantic medieval city and my own personal version of Las Vegas.

Recently I made the switch to the PC version. Love it. Best of both worlds since I can use my 360 controller on the PC. Now I can be even less real life productive...

So, does anyone else play far too much Minecraft?

I'm looking for some good servers to play on when I'm not playing on the home network server I play on with my children. Maybe an RPG server or just one that encourages trade and building.

Oh if you think Minecraft is addicting, play Minecraft Hexxit.

My 13yo son is a minecraft addict. I can ask him about the servers he plays on if you like :) I know that one he's on regularly is a 'Hunger Games' style one, but I'm pretty sure he plays on quite a variety. I'll ask him.

I recently found out how to correctly install mods for Minecraft, so I definitely share your pain. The only issue with me is that I can't stick to my survival game because of all the stuff I want to make in creative mode. 

I also have been looking for a good server but most of them are too "mainstreamed" and have a weird learning curve.

I decided to setup my own server for my family to play on. I've spent the last two days configuring a MCPC Plus server (Forge+Bukkit) and it's starting to get scary. So many mods... its only LAN available atm but I may set it up to be net accessible.

I set one up using MCProHosting using a Bukkit build and it is worth the $10/month I spend  on having a server up 24/7 for my wife, kid and I.

Plus everything takes place from a web UI.

My wife is alpha testing SOE's EverquestNext Landmark.  Soon to beta in a few weeks.  Its a building game like Minecraft.  Its all I can do to peel her away from it :) .  Thoroughly hooked.

If you love Minecraft, it would worth taking a look at.  It will be F2P also (as all soe games are these days).

Another cool aspect of it is that once the game launches, really good creations will be purchased from players to be used in SOE's next Everquest game in a couple of years.  Sort of like crowd sourced artwork as EQNext will be using the same engine as Everquest Landmark.

OMG. another game for me to get hooked on. must..apply...for.....beta...

I have also EQ Landmark access although I also love Minecraft. It would be nice to play together in same server and create nice stuff with Gaiscioch members. I haven't touched EQ Landmark for awhile so maybe it is time to dust it off.

I used to play it a lot with my son and his friends, we kept a private server up with a white list so we only had people we could trust. Sure things blew up sometimes and there were war nights in distant zones 1000s of blocks from the "village". It is a great game, simple and imaginative.
