Minecraft had a 'soft launch' (started as an alpha/beta) some time around 2006, I believe
on the launch page click forceupdate. this will reset the game. this will not deleat your saves. if you want to do that you will have to deleat them manualy.
Minecraft has become very popular since its launch a few years ago. Boys especially love this game because you build your own world, similar to something they might do with Lego's or Lincoln Logs.
No, you do not. Once you launch the Minecraft launcher, you simply click on log in, it will tell you it couldn't connect and asks you to either try again or play offline. Note that playing offline means you don't get to use your custom skin, if you have one.
