Since our last Minecraft episode, the game has continued to take off. After the major Halloween update which introduced The Nether, lead developer Notch has continued to roll out update after update to further enhance the multiplayer aspect of the game.
We’ve found the online multiplayer servers to be an excellent opportunity to grow our community interaction, as well as supporting further growth and bringing new folks to see us. In tonight’s episode, we’ll discuss some of the recent Minecraft news, as well as our personal experience with how it’s helped our community flourish.

Between our two servers, we’ve had close to 150 unique users log in.
– MINIMAL griefing has occurred – this part astounds the J-Man.
