Ohhh man. Reading through these stories has gotten me fired up. So here's my story and how I perceived minecraft.
Minecraft started out as just a game one of my friends from school play. He talked about it so much, I asked him how I can play it. He lent me his username and password and I downloaded MC for myself. I instantly fell in love with it. After 2 hours of game-play (and one dirt castle later) I knew that I had found my new addiction. The next day, my friend had decided to change his password because, apparently, I wasn't the only person he gave his MC info to. I went straight home after school and bought myself MC. And so Mid-January 2011, GOLDENMAN_23 was born. As I played in single player, I had come to the point where single player was losing meaning. I quickly began searching for a good server. I was desperate to find a good server. After I was done searching for the day, I glared over my brother's shoulder and see a giant glowstone sign in a courtyard with a checkered-pattern flooring. I asked him what the IP to the server was. He was quick to give me the IP: inspironwins.dyndns.tv (still works). I had decided to join my brother in the fight for survival in a strange, new world filled with opportunity and beauty. After a few mishaps here and there, We built a castle that was both functional and didn't look too bad. While I wasn't happy with it, my brother had decided to stay there and focus on pvp. But to get back on topic, MC, the way I see it, is a 16 bit portal to another world, an escape from reality and gives the player an opportunity to survive in a variety of ways. Either alone or together, in a tree house or in a bunker, in a mansion or in a dirt hut. If I could sum up all of Minecraft in one word, I think that there is only one word that could do the job: infinite
