Problem is there is a limit on how many peopl ecan connect right now I believe and while I never reached it (only played with 3 people max) I know it is fairly low.

The developer posted that soon (next few weeks) there will be an update that should offer a dedicated server, hopefully this will raise the cap of people that can play.

Also there is going to be more difficult content added around the same time which will be great

Underground jungle is usually on the opposite side of the map as the dungeon is so if you can find the dungeon just walk the other way fo the spawn point around the same distance and start digging down. You will find it eventually!

Did you like Minecraft? If so you'll probably like this.

I loved Minecraft up to a point but it really isn't more than a sandbox. Terraria offers direction and gives a reason to explore.

The combat bugs the **** out of me at times but every night over the last 2 weeks I've been coming back to play it.

I never got sucked into minecraft at all, never so much as tried it.

I don't see why people compare this to minecraft, they both play very differently.

Watch this by the creators and see if it floats your boat:

Of course they're comparable. The play differently but the concepts are the same, dig, build, explore. They're both bloody mining games!

You'll die a good bit if you enter areas without good enough gear to handle the bad guys. If it's on the surface, just make a shelter to get through the night.

Once you get some armour, gold weapons and the grappling hook, it'll get a lot easier.

Looking at those maps, other than physical size is there any difference between them? As in, the ores and materials you need to craft better gear can be found in all etc?

You'd probably get more stuff from the dungeons on a larger world, however quality is not affected by world size.

Hardcore mode coming in next patch

Well, we've reached a month since we released Terraria to the public. And in that time we have seen a large thriving community grow and come together all over the Internet, especially here on TerrariaOnline. So to offer you an idea of the size of the community on a while, we share with you the following numbers.

-By The Numbers- As of (06/16/2011)

Copies/4Packs Sold Total - 350,000+ (Copies Owned - 432,000+)
Days/Top Ten Sales List on Steam - 32 days
Days/Top Ten Played List on Steam - 32 days
Players Online at once - Peaks we have seen range from 14k to 32k a day.
Facebook Likes - 28,773
TerrariaOnline Members -
40,992
YouTube Trailer Views - (Old-Gameplay) 1,181,691, (Release Trailer) 866,285

We are very proud of these numbers and we would like to thank all of our fans and the community for the efforts they put in to spread the word of the game, and also contribute to it with suggestions and ideas.

We want to send a special shout out to the team at Valve who help us with out with the general advice they send our way. The way they treat others is a great tribute to gamers everywhere. With so many game companies focusing more on profit, its great to see a company focusing more on the gamer themselves. And their support of indie developers offers a great shining example to other studios. It's as if they are saying, "Don't lose site of why people play a game." And that is also our guideline here at Re-Logic, as gamers ourselves, we know what we want a game to be like.

As for what we want a game to be like, In my last Dev Blog I mentioned some things you could look forward to possibly be in 1.0.5. I would like to share some of the changelog items with you. Not all, mind you, as we like to keep some of it as a surprise of course. We are hoping everyone starts to see the concept for the game as we have envisioned it more and more with every update. As the game starts to come together and become more intuitive, lengthy and purposeful, we hope to quell any doubts some people have that the game will not be able to keep its 'staying power' and 'replayablity'.

To that end, We give you, Hardcore Mode.
I Mentioned it briefly in a tweet, to let everyone know it was on its way. I can verify now that It will be in 1.0.5 and it will offer to those who find themselves wanting more to do in Terraria, an option at just that. Yes, it will be an 'option' and wont be forced on everyone.
Here are a few things I can say about it.

Its a Character Based option, so your HCM character can move between servers. Be careful though. As a non-HCM players grief can end your run quite easily
Its set at character creation and can not be toggled off for that character afterward.
If you Die, thats it, game over. You must start a new Character at that point. Your world however will not be effected by this. So this means you may start a new HC mode character and utilize the house/chests your last character left behind. You will also see a gravestone where your old character met his fate.
It really changes the way you play the game, as every action could be your last. Caution is a good thing. Also, There is more of a sense of accomplishment as you play.

Now, for those of you who want to know what else is coming, here are a few tidbits from the change log.


Lighting code has been optimized to increase performance.
Servers now hibernate when no players are connected.
Bats, Hornets, and Eyeballs no longer enter water.
Slimes now float in water.
Spam detection is less aggressive.
New Item - Hellfire Arrow. (Boom!)

Also, Mr. Guide has become a friend to all new players. A new feature for this helpful individual, is that now he can tell you what specific items that you 'show him' are for. This should assist new players in discovering new recipes they can't yet make.

Furthermore, for those of you who like to know whats going on in your server, and are tired of simply seeing "MrMan was slain..." when someone else dies , will now have the satisfaction of seeing the likes of the following;
"Blue fell to his death." or "Blue had his head ripped off by a Green Slime."

PvP also becomes more interesting (and satisfying) with those kinds of specific death messages. :]
Lastly I want to mention that Redigit has laid the framework for having NPC shops change their inventory after certain world events. It isn't certain yet it the new feature will be implemented in 1.0.5 or not, but its something you can all look forward to.

Overall, we here at Re-Logic feel that offering to our players new interesting things to see and do, is the best way to keep them happy. And, by far, your happiness is important to us. 1.0.4 was hailed by almost all fans as a success, and we hope 1.0.5 will be as well. We have yet to set a date for that update, but more and more each day new things find their way into the change-log.

(Looks at his Dev chat window) Whats that Redigit just said?... New Potions, Buffs?... Oh my.

Character Creation
● Added 19 new hairstyles.
● There is now an option for ‘Male/Female’, this is used to change the characters voice. This way, any hairstyle can be used for either gender.
● When choosing your hairstyle, you may now right click to cycle through the hair selections backwards.
● There are now 3 difficulty modes that are set when creating a character.
○ Softcore - Drop coins on death, keep max hp and mana values.
○ Mediumcore - Drop all items on death, keep max hp and mana values.
○ Hardcore - Drops all Items and deletes your character on death, requiring you to start a new character. On death you will become a ghost that can not interact with the world until you log out.

Game Text
● Corrected some spelling errors and also the placement of ‘%’ in some potion tool-tips.
● Added several new randomized game 'subtitle captions'.
● ‘Misc’ in Character Creation color selection, has been renamed "Shoes".


Music and Sound
● New Music : Corruption.
● There are new sounds for the following actions/events
○ Talking to an NPC
○ Mana Becoming Full (also shows a purple sparkle on player)
○ Using Water Bolt, Flamelash, and Flower of Fire
○ Starting to Drown
○ Some sounds have a randomizing pitch change (like sword swinging), to make them have more variance.

Performance
● Optimized "Finding Tile Frames", so worlds should load faster


---World Gen---
● More Gems spawn in the jungle.
● Hell Houses now spawn differently. A worlds Hell Houses can rarely spawn as all obsidian, and they can now get really tall.
● Underground Jungles now have a Mud Background
● Dungeons should no longer spawn in the ocean.
● Deserts now spawn slightly further away from spawn.
● Dungeons now spawn with more spikes and less lighting.
● Underworld Ash is now filled with more lava pockets, making mining Hellstone more of a challenge.
● Some items no longer spawn in Dungeon, these were meant for non-dungeon areas.

So completes the Balancing and Polish patch.
And now work begins on the first true major content patch. 1.1 here we come!

Game is easier now. The life regen is abit to much to be honest but i have yet to face a boss. I made a new medium sized world with this patch and there seems to be loads of Heart Upgrade to be found. I found 3 right beside each other in an unground mushroom patch.

I recommend playing Hardcore only. It adds that extra suspense that dying will delete your character

So any chance of a Boards Terraria MP game?

I thought there was something wrong with me. Thanks for confirming that it's not just me who finds it to be rather unimpressive.

It's one of those games that begs to be played with mates to appreciate. It's servicable solo (like Borderlands) but is so much more fun with a few friends online.

Thats it, playing SP is crap, same as Minecraft, though i prefer playing Borderlands in SP. Terraria & Minecraft are community games and need to be played as such to get the full experience.

The only game my mates play is FIFA, hence trying to get a Terraria Boards community going. Forever Alone

well if thats the case id be up for giving it a go in the MP if we get a group going
