This is reminding me so much of a lego game that I played back at college where people could build stuff in lego in 1st person in multiplayer. I cant remember if I played it with some of you guys or just college or uni friends.

Anyway, basica graphics and bugs aside, I cant believe how addictive it is. I started out by exploring and not really knowing WTF to do. Its taken a while to discover things like how to make timber from wood, Ive found a knife which seems to help mine/cut resources, and after exploring came across a massive cliff/hill on the coast of the randomly generated world I am in. After a load of mining I built a narrow ramp up to the top, and have so far managed to harvest enough timber to build primitive wooden fortifications around the outside of it. It took a couple of "nights" to make it monster proof, now Im going on missions basically mining in a straight line back to the respawn point so that if/when I die I have an easier time getting back to camp, as the game world really is huge.

Its free for a couple of days cus the account server and payments have screwed up.

I dont know how a new player can play free though cus the new accounts cant be created.

Are you talking about Blockland? If so Im pretty sure I played that game with you and few others from here back then. One construction I still remember helping to create with other Tek members was a large underwater tunnel with widows, and I think you were one of the ones that helped.

Im currently in the process of replacing my wooden fortress walls with stone walls. The stone is coming from the mine I have started in the middle of the mountain my "fortress of uber" is situated on. Hopefully in the next couple of days Ill get a roof on it, and then the fun begins. Im planning on totally hollowing out the mountain, which might be tricky as at the base there are a few caves which seem to have zombies in them, so I forsee opening up too much of the cave.

At some point I plan on making a rollercoaster from the top that will go straight down and as far across the map as fast as possible, as a quick escape root. Maybe build another fort at the end so I can go back and forth ><

When registrations are back up Im so buying this. I regret preordering Civ V, as I doubt thatll get a look-in any time soon. Theres soooooo much potential, if we could get some Tek people and a private server going it would kick ass to have a tek fort etc.

Cancel the multiplayer bit, just do single player. If it asks for user/pass just hit login and it loads up, or it did for me.

I was playing around on it earlier, looks pretty addictive tbh, might check out the price once that and multiplayer is back up

, so I forsee opening up too much of the cave.

I was right...I decided to extend my shaft as far as I can and opt for length rather than girth...Going straight down Ive hit coal and iron, as well as zombies, and underground stream, and lava, which is worrying. I ran out of torches to explore the chasms, but Im basically trying to light up as much as I can. Its getting tougher though, I think before the next trip into the underworld Ill need to go beat up some cows to make some leather armour.
