Yay, I signed up. After giving up Pokemon Go I think this might be a fun way to play with my kids. Most of them still love Minecraft so I can't image it not being a hit. The keynote for WWDC demoing this really kind showed the game play and of course there have been a number of other articles out there about it too. Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing this IRL.

Here's the FAQ they posted at the site above as well.

Is my Minecraft username/password supposed to work? Because it doesn't (yet)

Did Minecraft change things up after Mojang? Hmm.....

Hmm.

I have an old Minecraft account.

There's a way to migrate it to a Mojang account.

Do I want to do that?

Discuss.


...

[drewprops]

Nevermind.

Old Minecraft accounts were hackable.

Upgraded to Mojang account, more flexibility.

Got connected to Microsoft account.

Got token.





...

[drewprops]

Well, it says that I will get a token.

Yeah, the signup for Earth is using your "Microsoft Live" account.

I actually signed everyone in my family up for the beta in hopes that at least a few of us get it. I've not heard anything yet though. Not expecting to for a while anyway.

This game would make sense to me if I was wearing goggles, but not on my phone screen—not big enough! I don't play the pocket edition for that reason, and this new thing makes even less sense.

I actually thought the same, but that doesn't mean I don't want to at least try it. If there is a cost then it would have to be really awesome to make it worth it. It just might be, it certainly has potential.

Has anyone gotten a beta invite yet? I'm kinda sad my family hasn't been picked at all.

I never did get into the Beta but early access is here now!

I just downloaded it and hoping to get a little time in with it.

This game is free to-play, and are s3.amazonaws.com/clash-royale-pc/index.html accessible to anybody. This is a new kind and something different.

Smells like SPAM in here!
