omg it sounds amazing, notch may have just trumped his greatest creation with yet an even better one!
Wow this may drasticly decrease minecraft play for me. Long time ago i played "earth and beyond" that shut down. I have been waiting for something similar (thats not eve) to play
Looks like Notch may have had influence from a game series called "Space Empires" from Malfador Machinations, although that was only a single player game. I am excited to see how this develops though, I've enjoyed most space trading games.
The multiplayer component has a monthly fee by the look of it, but like minecraft, single player doesn't require a monthly cost.
Notch could learn something from the empire. Free membership and perks for supporters. Oh well he's not perfect.
I'm not sure, don't think they would come up this late with it. And there should be like april fools at the end if it was fake.
Notch already did an April Fools joke. It was a game called Mars Effect(that promised an ending that made sense).
The page looks exactly the same, just a different logo than Mars Effect. Edit: I have looked into this and it seems legit, but I am still confused for some reason.
