I love Minecraft. Lets get that out of the way. I love it even more on Xbox 360. My two favorite things = awesome. But there is a lot to be desired before I am content with the strides they've made so far. Not saying we need witches or wither bosses right away, but some key functionality is missing from the game.
Part of the fun, in my opinion, was meeting new people on servers hosted 24/7. Whole economies, factions, and wars were created within those servers. Anybody could host one and anything could happen in them. In Minecraft on Xbox 360 however, you can only play with friends and only if the host's Xbox was actively running Minecraft on a decent connection. It seems so isolated and lonely, doesn't it?
I would like to try an experiment. I'm sure that I am not the first person to try it, but I would like to at least make the idea popular. I would like to see if it is possible to have somebody start a world, and simply keep it running? If this person makes the game open without invite and people can find his gamertag to join, wouldn't that bring us a little closer to the kind of community Minecraft deserves?
Is this a good idea or bad one? If people are up for it, I would like to volunteer my Xbox. As long as I am able, I might want to watch netflix every now and again. (unless I could get another Xbox and copy of Minecraft, then sky is the limit!)
