I also can't wait until release +12 or so. People are going to get their fix, play for about 6 hours....and then Red and Blue are going to get swamped by people's needs and desires for this game. Right now, it's just cutesy crap like "Please give us Neko ears at customization" and "we want pets because we didn't get enough of them in WoW" and the occasionally totally justified "tweak this, change that, add this."

Once game releases though, I have a feeling a lot of the looser parts of the game we've accepted in the LPs will become spots where people feel its hollow and pointless (like Neonivek has been saying with the actual usability of half the ores.) There is probably 24 hours of solid, buildly, choppy, explorey fun in Terraria. But some of their fans see this game almost like an MMO, where they're going to hang out for evah. Just going by the number of "Original <Thing that appears in Terraria> Clans", it seems that way. Boy, are they going to be disappointed.

Much like the original Minecraft SMP and the various fnatasies about countries and villages set up for wars across servers. When really it's just a bunch of glorified freebuilding.

 And much like SMP you guys are worrying too much over the fans. You won't be playing any public servers but the ones for the forums you frequent. Not a problem.

I will be playing on priv server, prolly with three or four friends or something like that. Slowly, we will build our fortress of awesome and then do some epic stuff.

And then I will do that again, but alone to experience harder difficulty :P

I will visit a dozen or so worlds, and then I will build a castle out of rainbow colored dungeon blocks!

I may actually venture out into the wilds for this game, I haven't made up my mind. Anyone play the original NWN? After some work, that game had tons of persistent world servers up that were awesome to play on. With modding and custom scripts, they almost became new games unto themselves.

I don't expect anything that cool from Terraria, but who knows? With enough time and development, some great persistent world stuff could be in its future. Plus the devs will be out there, and it might be worth going out and finding them. So until MC, I do consider it a possibility to play with other non-Bay12ers and that it might be fun....although it will probably lots of:

I will visit a dozen or so worlds, strip-mine and steal all their gold and silver, and then I will build a Fort Knox.

Except build it out of the gold and silver instead of building it to guard the gold and silver?  :P

The moment the lever was pulled, somebody's pet kitten stepped onto the bridge. I read somewhere that if a cat falls more than 11 stories, it instinctively flares its legs out to increase air resistance. This slows it down enough to stick the landing with relatively minor injuries. In Dwarf Fortress, apparently, cats don't do that.

No, no, no...

He will build it out of gold and silver to store the rest of gold and silver in chests.

I think I'd probably build the outer layer of stone, then a few inner layers of iron-magma-iron-magma-iron etc, then put the gold and silver in this "vault".

Though then I'd need some kind of vault door. Wooden doors are a bit underwhelming for this role :/

I'm probably going to strip mine a world or two, maybe create a "warehouse" world solely for storing materials, and then I'm going to see if more than one of a boss can be summoned at once. If they can, I'm going to see how many Eaters of Worlds I can solo at a time without dying.

I have a feeling PBat is gona try to do something like that in his final LP.

Huh. So appearently PBat didn't give up on Terraria... He's uploaded Ep.26 and Ep.27 today.

(Off to spend another hour of my life watching these until the game comes out. :-\ :D)

I really really really hope they implement different types of doors. Mainly something like a  drawbridge would be awesome.
