Gaming Fan recreates World of Warcraft in Minecraft block by block

[The Helper]

One ambitious player has begun to import the whole of Azeroth into Minecraft block by block and, so far, things are actually looking pretty good.

People with way too much time on their hands have been crafting ambitious projects with giant multicolored cubes since Markus "Notch" Persson first went public with his then tiny indie game Minecraft in 2009. So ambitious, in fact, that nowadays it's become difficult to get any sort of recognition for your work without, well, I don't know, recreating an immensely detailed series of massive continents inch by inch or something. Cut to Mojang Forum user Rumsey, and his epic quest to bring all of World of Warcraft (dungeons and all) into the blocky lands of Minecraft.

Accomplishing such a feat requires specialized software that helps transfer the map data into the game, as well as circumvent Minecraft's normal 128 block height limit.

That puts the term "No lifer" to a whole new, higher than ever level.

Sounds like someone is going to be forever alone.

To be completely honest, that screenshot looks horrible.
I think i would get eye-cancer if i would have to play in such an enviroment.

If I had that much free time, I could be sooo much more productive than he is. All my Starcraft 2 custom maps would be done within weeks and I could help everyone in SC2 editor help who's asking for help.

How long did It take to build this? lol

Those who got enough time dont know what to do with it. Because if they did, they would do something, and if they do they dont have time anymore.
Those with talent dont have time, because they have things to do.

If this was by hand...

I guess if it makes him happy he should do it, but really? I really can't understand how he could have focused on such a pointless project for so long.

@accname wow that's so true. Though perhaps talent is the wrong word, passion may be a better word.

Talent is what you get when passion is strong enough inside of you. You cannot have passion for something and do it all the time without becoming more and more talented with it.
And passion is what you will have when you realize that you are talented at something which you like to do all the time because you are great at it.
