We just finished doing the first private test of Multiplayer Survival Mode, and it worked relatively well.
There were plenty of bugs, of course, such as lag spikes making the client prediction break badly (blocks reappear), duplicate resources spawning (with half of them being fake ones that can’t be picked up), doors behaving badly, the server lagging when people join/leave and explore at the same time, and ultimately (after about 30 minutes) running out of memory and crashing.
But overall it felt smooth, logging in was quick, you could chat, and sharing resources worked fine. Crafting and Inventory management were purely client side in this version, meaning I’ve got some work to do there to verify all of that.
I’ll be spending the rest of the week (tomorrow) on the seecret friday stuff, then get back to working on multiplayer next week. We’re getting closer to beta! =D
:D beta woo hell yeah!, hope u get them bugs fixed :)

Great news indeed.
Will we ever see a demo or trial of this? If there is one can you direct me to it?
Hey umm how to you get an invite code?
no. notch has not given anyone an individual or group code. he gets a code, and ties it to an account. so no-one has a code that will work, aside from who he chose.
