Hello all! I am here again, and in light of Starbound’s recent news of its beta being released in 2 days (December 4, yes), I was calling for an order of organization in regards to us playing together!

In other words, here you can discuss whether you are interested in playing MP, who you want to play with, when, etc.

Too late, ~~Steve~~ Forum Generalommodere Steve, I’ve already set you up on a server. In fact, all you have to do is look behind you…

…and likely see the wall/door/poster? which is located 180 degrees to your rear.

It sure looks that way, in fact it seems like it’s coming to Steam first:

Woot just activated my key on steam and downloading. I’ve avoided playing Terraria (ever) and I’ve even stopped visiting the Starbound homepage to avoid spoilers almost 6 months ago. I’ve literally prepared for over a year just to play this game 😛

What could possibly go wrong with such high expectations? 😃

Congratulations on your recent purchase of Starbound! So far, I find it to be rather **more** entertaining that Terraria.

In other news, if anyone wants to play it with me, add me on Steam at Man\_Of\_Ret. I’ll get a server up and running at request, you just have to friend me or PM me with Discourse.

Cool I may take you up on that later. I’d have teamed up with Cubeworld but it makes me so motion sick I haven’t played it since the first few days.

I’m still learning the controls of Starbound… just spent 5 minutes yelling at the screen “SO HOW DO I EAT IT!?” which google didn’t even know. Long story short, I ate it.

So it’s worth getting? I’ve been unsure myself of whether or not to get but it sounds like it would be good, that and steam seems to be spamming XXX is playing Starbound messages at me.
