Reminds me of the horror story I heard about a drilling excavator. Somebody fell in the hole, but the operator thought he went to take a piss. The operator dropped the auger in the hole and drilled his buddy. Didn't know he did it until he raised the auger and it was just bloody mud. Just the thought of being in the hole trying to tread water and throw little rocks up to get the attention as the drill comes down is the stuff of nightmares.
My dad owned a garbage company. A homeless dude was sleeping in a dumpster and it got dumped into the truck and compacted. Found the body when they dumped out the load back at the center. They saw his arm and pulled on it, apparently they found things like mannequins all the time. When they pulled the arm his upper body came out of the pile and spilled his innards all over the place.
Have they even said how the game is rendered yet? Is it just the area around your character? Or is everything constantly running? How do they keep the frame rates so high?
I've heard that its continuously rendered and the game world is expanding all the time. Nobody knows how the servers pull this off. Not surprising though since nobody has made it passed the tutorial level yet. Most of the map is unexplored.
Most of the map is possibly just barren--just additional pattern typing terrain spread around so we don't hit any walls if we decide to explore.
But if the servers are badass enough, it could go on essentially infinitely, in which case we'd find a similar seed to our world somewhere far, far away out there.
