Terraria!

[phreekshow]

Hi, first off, this is my first post, I'm FireShell, PhreekShow, Xenomaniac, TheShadowBringer, etc, etc, Older members will remember me, I hope.

Anyways, I was looking around and i didn't see a Terraria thread, so i thought I'd make one. Now, before anybody says that Terraria is just a 2-D ripoff of Minecraft, let me just say this; There are very stark similarities between the two, but, Terraria is NOT a ripoff. As of right now, (I say as of right now, because these things could change) Minecraft is more geared towards building bases, and sure, mining, but, Terraria appears to be more oriented towards adventuring, and is more fantastic (No, not "better" but more fantasy based") while Minecraft is more realistic.

Anyways, I wanted to make this thread for discussion about Terraria versus Minecraft, posting some server IPS, and things that you've built. Also, please, no flame wars, I trust that you all will not start one, but still, I've gotta say it.

EDIT: If none of you have heard about it, this is understandable as this game was released only about a week ago.

I don't think I will get this game. One of the developers got THE BEST GAMERS' video taken off, just because he cannot hear that his game may not be very good. I think that it looks alright, but I definitely will not buy it, and I don't think I'd pirate it, either.

I get that Terraria =/= Minecraft (although it isn't necessarily better), but frankly I don't really see any reason to buy it.

Minecraft is more building based than adventure based.
Terraria is more adventure based than building based.

I like both. I recently spent 28 hours over the past 3 days playing Terraria. Wasted a whole weekend

I also agree with Temporarily9, although, the only option for me would be to pirate it. That of which, I do not wish to have to do again... It looks good, but what is the appeal in it?

Fighting, using the cool items you find in dungeons and caves and such you can fight against the monsters that plague the land.
During the day you will find annoying slimes on the surface but when night comes so do flying eyeballs and zombies that don't care for privacy.
There's also a couple of bosses to piss you off when you don't need them.

That actually sounds kind of annoying, no...? Also, it's 2 dimensional. That sets back a few things...
