Update: Good News, We’re Erecting a Minecraft Alpha Multiplayer Server
Today, Notch, the beloved developer of Minecraft, announced that the multiplayer version of Minecraft Alpha will come out early tomorrow.
"I’ll release it early tomorrow (probably in 13 hours from now), then fix bugs the rest of the day and prepare for Berlin." The World of Notch
And another thing is that FIGames will be following up with a brand-spanking-new FIGames Minecraft Alpha Server. As Notch more gracefully put it, the multiplayer will be incredibly buggy at first but still should be a load of fun. I will update you tomorrow on the condition and IP (or URL) of the server.
Update: Zyzzi and I got the server running at IP: 24.4.0.116:25566
