I love people like you because you are
obviously right since over half of the Minecraft players and even notch himself said he loves this game and that it is completely different from minecraft. You hear
THAT, even the creator of minecraft said it's not a clone, wow!
Also, if you didn't know, dungeons in minecraft are the cubes surrounded by mossy cobblestone in the ground, you find hardly no minerals in them besides the rare iron ignots.
Exploration? Terraria has a great map generator, I LOVE the cave systems and could care less if I can't explore them in the "rich 3D enviroment minecraft has, obviously making it a good game".
Explore the minecraft world for hours? That's probably because it is infinitely generated and takes up far less space to create a world becauce the actual blocks/chunks take up tons less space.
Terraria world too small for you? Create a large world, they are 16000x8000 blocks horizontal/vertical (iirc) and get this, you can carry over your character and lose nothing to another world! It amazes me!
Here is you, not being able to enjoy both games and realize that they are very different and then here is me, along with most of the online communities, enjoying Terraria AND Minecraft because we're not as stingy as to call it a clone.
If you want me to explain my points as to why I think they are completely different and why, as well as my self, think terraria is a great game and even possibly the minecraft successor, then feel free to ask.
(if you couldn't tell, I play both, I have a minecraft alpha account and I've hosted servers on it for over a year. So think before you try and call this a biased post.)
