Smurfkiller9000 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Because everyone here must know the game well, did most people get it in Alpha? Or did you jump on the bandwagon and get it after the end of Beta? Myself, I got it around Beta 1.5-1.6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xylord Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Got it around Beta 1.2 and played with it occasionally ever since, with more interest when I discovered mods around B 1.7, with my some periods more intense depending of other games.

Jay? Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I was actually Pre-alpha. I first took notice before the In-Dev version came out. I still think the most fun i've ever had with it was back in infdev, when multiplayer had just been added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freakachu Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I don't remember the exact version it was on when I got it, but it was well before survival multiplayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay? Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 How many bugs/glitches did it have back then? many. The multiplayer was terribad for a long time. Early minecarts had a tendency to clip into something and go flying off at high speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racingpro Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Oh yes, they were fun. I only started in 1.4_01, and got into mods shortly into 1.5. Buildcraft was very different back then. And I've owned it since just before 1.0 was released. I trialed it, and then waited to see if I could somehow get it for free. It was worth a shot.

althalus1337 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I started way back in the first stages of Alpha (I don't know the exact version number, 1.0.3 or something) but I didn't start using mods untill about halfway through beta, BTW I think was the first mod I used.

nedned2k Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I started playing the classic version with a few of my friends for a few months before buying it in late alpha, a bit before the nether update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErusPrime Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I've owned minecraft since 1.8.1 but I've been following it's development since it was only creative mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_DarthMoogle Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I can't remember what version it was, but I remember you had to boost minecarts by having another minecart run alongside it. Redstone hadn't been implemented then, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redstone was implemented by then there just was only 1 kind of track. btw you had the oven cart who could push an other one but way to slow :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teraku Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Got it during Alpha, 2 weeks before the Alpha 1.2 Halloween update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danidas Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I bought the game in early alpha but was playing it before that via the free creative servers that were available on the minecraft page. Those were fun times where you were trapped into a small few chunk area with everyone else on the server building/destroying anything you saw fit.

Teraku Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Now that I think about, the two major problems with Multiplayer back then was that inventories were clientside and health didn't work at all. This caused you to be able to toss your near-broken pickaxe on the ground, pick it back up and it would be repaired. Also, any sane person disabled monsters because no one liked being stalked by countless skeletons and zombies you can't kill and they can't kill you. Boats and Minecarts were incredibly screwy because they couldn't get damage either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theprolo Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I got it back in Beta 1.3, so I can relate to most of the things people say about "the good ol' days" when bugs were rampant and there were no booster rails etc.. I actually only got into modding at all around Minecraft 1.1, after my friend/server host/Tekkit guru linked me to a Tekkit video and told me that the server was going Tekkit(I had no choice in the matter, it was already Tekkit by the time I got on). Before that, the closest I ever got was MCEdit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed10 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I bought minecraft in 1.7 a few weeks before 1.8 came out. A few buddies on my floor suggested it to me, so I figured I'd give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neowulf Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 2 year ago I think? No clue what version, I just putted around till I got bored and tried making a bukkit server. After a couple months of that I got bored again and was about to quit until that mine little pony tekkit video was released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_DarthMoogle Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I remember using AMCO back in 1.6.whatever. But they were like 'piracy was all cool yarr' then, which was kinda bent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deimos56 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I played classic for... an indeterminate period of time. I recall actually buying the alpha game shortly after the time Winter Mode went in... whenever that was. I believe I first fiddled with modding back in 1.7.3 with that one pack of mods the Painterly pack endorsed, and then completely forgot about modding until I discovered Technic. And then... well, here I am I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
