Entire World of Warcraft Gets Recreated in Minecraft

[iseko]

I am in conflict here. On the one hand I am impressed. On the other hand they should really get a life. I mean with the time you spend on such a project you can do a lot. It doesn't even have to be productive. Could just go out and have some social interaction. Maybe meet a few girls? I'm just throwing out suggestions here.

See, I just never got into the Minecraft creation thing. I prefer Legos. Build Kalimdor out of Legos and then I'll be impressed.. =)

Not to pick a fight or anything, but the thing is, you could say this about almost anything. Person paints an awesome detailed piece of art? "Get outside once in a while!" Another writes a book? "Get some friends, dude!" Someone makes a cool little game by himself? "Have you thought of getting a life?" (Even though these are what you might call 'more important' projects than building something in Minecraft, they still share some important things with it: time, effort and creativity.) You can _always_ spend the time you use for thing X to do thing Y. But is it always necessary? The guy who made this could well be into sports and have some friends, there's no way for us to know what his life outside of this project is like.

Hey! Person who thinks life is for doing whatever you find enjoyable that doesn't hurt others! We don't take kindly to your types around here!


Now, Skeeter, he ain't hurtin nobody...

Jesus... after all that time im glad to see the guy is getting something out of it... but bloody hell...

This is why i'll never touch minecraft...

 

[Notsomuch]

I love the way that map looks. It's really neat zoomed out.

 

[LilithSlave]

This makes me sad. There are much better places to recreate in Minecraft.

 

[Not G. Ivingname]

I still will maintain that this isn't as impressive as the guys who are currently recreating all of Middle Earth, straight out of the Lord of the Rings books.

They aren't even close to being finished, and yet the world they have created is SO large that they actually reached the farlands and asked Mojang for some kind of fix so they can actually make it to the same size the set out to.

And their are no fancy programs at work, they are actually placing (or in the case of caverns, digging out) ever single block by hand.

 

[Kungfu_Teddybear]

That's certainly impressive, but I don't even want to think about how long that took. It took me like 3 days just to build my house.

 

[Taunta]

I'm more curious how they plan to do the dungeons. Are they gonna try to smoosh dungeons in the world, or actually instance them? Is instancing possible in Minecraft? And are they going to try to do Outlands? What about the Maelstrom?

Anyways, this is really cool.

 

[CardinalPiggles]

Pff, if he does it in survival without spawning objects in I will be impressed.

 

[Elementary - Dear Watson]

Impressive... but it doesn't have a calculator function though, does it?

 

[DeadlyYellow]

I'll ask the usual question:

Why?

Spoiler

Surely it would be faster and easier to use some sort of map editor?

Anyway, I take my hat off to them.

[sub]That said, a Minecraft version of Equestria would be 20% cooler than anything else =P[/sub]

Well, they are doing most monuments and areas 1 to 2 of how large they are, and the areas in between are 1 to 3, but they do have a LOT of people working on it.

and yet u are here posting on forums, discussing how other ppl waste 2much time, instead of going out and meeting girls or something
besides u never know might be a girl, on average id say the girls i know are a lot more determined and focused to see stuff through than the lads

Incoming Blizzard lawsuit in 5...

Idk. I heard of someone who tried to recreate Rapture in Minecraft and I never heard of IrrationalGames suing him/her.

They could do it like with the portals leading to hell in Minecraft.

Sounds like my kind obsessiveness.
on the other hand i always wanted a game that would give you whole country, if not whoel world, to paly in. the closes we ever came to that was GTA: san andreas, and i spent thousands of hours on it (literally, xfire counted). On the other hand, im still new guy in minecraft, so my best construct so far is a 4 floor castle.
