Could be the fact it is now home on consoles to has meant that the developers see reason to go back and work on it.

That's kinda what I think also.

It's been a while since I played so I'm waiting a while to restart so it'll be "fresh" and me and the hubby can replay through it all again :). When "Hard mode" starts it kinda sucks though because you spend a lot of time reinforcing your home from Corruption. However it does give more specific purpose to the "adventure" side of the game than the open-ended aspect of Minecraft. I really like both games though. The music and your choice of light-rendering is pretty cool too actually... if you are an RPG fan, you will find a lot to love in Terraria.

What is corruption in the game?  I keep thinking Minecraft, and applied to this game, I would assume you would be safe by building a moat.

What I found about Minecraft is that one runs out of things to find.  Terraria got my interest assuming that you could find or do more.

No, Corruption is unique to Terraria. It changes blocks to "Corruption" within a certain distance and enough of them changes the Biome to Corruption. Corruption in "Normal Mode" does not spread, but when "Hard Mode" is activated, it puts a stripe through your map and it spreads overtime until it takes over the map... You can stop it with certain blocks because they are not corruptable and certain things like even "corruption vines" can contaminate and reach your area, that's why you have to be very careful how you construct your base (but you won't learn that until you hit Hard Mode though)...

The total opposite is "The Hallow" which is like killer unicorns and stuff like that. But it plays pretty music and the stone is colored pearly pretty sparkly colors.

I think Hallow spreads too, but I can't be sure. There's tons of wikis and discussions on this stuff.
