Y'know, just thinking about this a little, seems there's a LOT more than 2,000 people want beta codes.  I can't imagine how many will be on during actual launch.

They are going to have to have a lot of servers at this rate  :o

I mean, lets be optimistic and say there will be 2 million players at launch.  That would require 1000 seperate servers  to host everyone  :-\

I believe that it is 2000 per continent not per server, with at least three continents confirmed so far. Of course that is going to still require some pretty hefty servers to handle the load.

Yeah im very curious on how they will manage the network loadout, either they got one fking hell of a server cluster, or the code is coming from the futur!

Minecraft UI is very simple. There's only so many ways you can implement "simple" without copying something. We also gonna complain that it uses WASD?

They might give you a key if you post a picture of yourself with a shoe on your head.

That is why I haven't even attempted to win one. People seem to be going quite low for getting to play it before others.

Maybe just get everyone to send them a message along the lines of 'WE ARE THE DORVES. WE'RE UNSTOPPABLE.' with a link to this thread?

what alot of people forget is over the years there has been ALOT of junk/not so great code copied from one company to another on the simple basis that it works(ever seen reverse engineer job positions, that is their job), to copy other people's work, there are TONS of ways of reducing the "cpu" cost of running such a large game that i've theorized but we shall see how well it will work...between that, cpu advancements and optimizations of secondary codes like java and python i wouldn't be surprised to see this sort of thing.
