Minecraft is like a new world, or a new life. It begins from scratch, down at a prehistoric era, and works its way up to what we are now, and perhaps it can even get farther than we can. I see it as when the first survival first arose, when we were still discovering all of the basic crafting recipes, when we learned not to hug creepers, and that skeletons shoot arrows, we had began. I consider that the prehistoric, and the next minor step the silver (or iron is it?) and bronze and gold ages, when we were getting our first masters. First masters of pvp, crafting, harvesting, hunting, building, and perhaps the first minor mechanisms, like mob grinders or sand locks. With the addition of redstone also came a large revolution, corresponding to the discovery of electricity in the real world, but, it comes into major effect later. We are currently approaching a sort of 1500-1800's kind of world, depending on server and play style. The lower parts, the 1500s and 1600s being castles, warfare based on brute force, poorly developed cannons and engineering, and with the more advanced being 1700s and 1800s being the facts that some servers have large, bustling cities, with nice engineering and appearence. However, some servers are still so far back, perhaps considered a dark age, and that is what the entire game is getting out of right now, In the live release of minecraft, we shall celebrate. celebrate the release of our spirits and blocky lives from the dark ages, allowing us into an age of enlightenment to live freely and develop again. Also, the development of redstone I believe shall flourish, as I am a member of the RDF (Redstone Development Foundation) and I sort of get a glimpse at the future of redstone and minecraft because of that. So, notch, please allow us to escape these dark ages and let us be free. Thanks, please comment :)
