Do you remember the first time you wielded your wooden pickaxe?
Do you remember the first night you spent in your dirt house?
Do you remember the initial excitement when you found your first diamond?

I do, but I never quite get that feeling any more. It only just occurred to me today, i've been Admin on a server for quite some time. I actually got tired of it, the constant player spamming, the griefing and the nagging upon nagging. Regardless, I recently moved to a survival server with a few of my friends (HA! Friends....) for the first time in a while I was playing legitimately, simple basic SMP survival. Do you know what I found?

Minecraft just didn't have that initial kick that it used to. I know this might be because of the adaptation to using creative mode, world-edit and other plugins. Even still, I just didn't enjoy it as much as before. It's quite a dull feeling really, more and more of my friends are discovering Minecraft and i'm starting to lack the will to play more than 2 minutes of it.

I don't mind making buildings for projects. It's fun, it's something new, but I always liked the idea of SMP however it's only fun for 10 minutes until you have made a stable shelter and a source of food. After that I stagger to find interest.

R.I.P Minecraft SSP/SMP enjoyment.
