Apparently he is getting a proper office and hiring some staff... Hopefully this means he can work on Minecraft with less interruptions...

Paypal is refusing to forward payments over to him because of "suspicious activity". If they decide it's not on the level, they're going to keep the €600,000 for themselves :o. Of course a new blockbuster game is suspicious.

I'm not surprised by gnolam's attitude towards PayPal anymore.

You can make a compass using red powder and iron bars now! That should make navigating a bit easier.

When Paypal says they will keep the money if turns out to be illegally gained... what do they mean by 'keep'? Wouldn't they return it to the original Paypal account holders who sent Notch the money?

If they actually keep it (i.e not giving it to Notch and not refunding the customers) ... wouldn't that be illegal on Paypal's part?

I would say that this is covered in their terms of use. The problem is, if I'm not mistaken, that they aren't a bank institution so they can do virtually whatever they want with your money.

Well it sounds like he's making a lot of money so I can't really say I'm too surprised that they'd consider it suspicious (though it would depend on which type of PayPal account that he has). In any case, I think Notch has enough of a following and enough friends in relatively high places now that it won't be an issue. His update on his blog suggests that this is only a week (or less) worth of payments, but that doesn't add up at all...

My laptop's charger is currently dead, so I can't load any of the worlds I had. My roommate might (might) let me install it on his computer, but his touchpad is sucky.

EDIT:

My roommate's computer doesn't like Minecraft for some reason. I might try the public computer lab later.

I think Notch's sales are about to spike ...

Fire really does spread that quickly now. I had did some wood harvest from my tree farm, and wanted the leaves to go away quickly (found my house is a bit too close, need to work on that issue later) so I set them on fire, and that fire spread just as quick as that video.

Wow. The awesomeness of that cool little cottage was equaled only by the awesomeness of its utter annihilation. Best MineCraft video ever.

Is anyone else having problems accessing the Minecraft forums?

Also, all the server IPs I know of are down. I can't get into SMP :(

The forums and wiki are currently down due to high traffic loads. I think Notch has also temporarily suspended the name checking for SMP (which may be why you are having issues connecting)

I've only been playing single player so I don't know about the multiplayer problems...

I haven't been able to log into either the URL or IP mentioned above either ... not sure if that's related.

I'm having issues connecting because I don't have any active server IPs.

Both of the "A.cc" servers have gone offline. :(
