Anyone here have Minecraft?

You don't have to do anything round-about at all to get alpha for free as far as offline goes. I downloaded it during last weekend's free session, deleted it once I thought it was over, was told in maple alpha offline was free, downloaded it again from the main site, then simply hit log-in without typing anything into the fields. It gives you the option to play offline. I was just checking on the off chance that if I logged into my non-premium account (or so it says as I try to log-in to alpha) that if I had the direct IP I might be able to play multi-player.

...Unless there was an implication somewhere there that farming is on a newer version of alpha somehow available through online mode.

Also, found my first gold, what should I do with it?

Edit: Nvm, Found out why it wouldn't let me go offline.
