I have nothing but respect for Notch, but when I heard how he came up with the idea of changing it I lost almost all respect I had. (Respect for him I mean.) Notch is a jackass if he changes the name from Endermen to Farlanders. And I call him so because he got the idea from 4chans /v/. Endermen is the better choice, and if he changes it shame on him. (And before you start attacking me, I bought this game. I have just as much say as any single one of you.)
I think that the term Farlanders is much better than Endermen. Endermen is just some crazy name that's based off of a myth on the internet, while Farlanders can relate to the game, since the Far Lands is an actual place in Minecraft. Notch could even add a back story for them if they were named Farlanders, saying something like they came from the Far Lands at the time of the 1.8 update.

Don't get your panties in a bunch, it seems that the name Endermen is winning the poll.
Farlanders again, The name endermen makes no sense in the game unless you know about the meme and really I dont want minecraft asociated with a stupid meme
**** Enderman and **** Farlanders. As soon as I see one I'm going to be like "OH **** ITS SLENDERMAN ****ING RUNN AND DONT LOOK IF YOU WANT TO LIVE!!!!"
This poll is bogus. Its based off the idea that Notch is considering Farlanders as an alternate name, when, in fact, all he has done is comment on a particular petition. Indeed, his only response was to suggest that rather than change the name from Enderman, he could change the name "Farlands" instead. Doesn't really sound like he's considering it at all.
I dislike the name Farlander because, to be fair, the Farlands are basically a glitch, and are basically impossible to reach anyway. Basing a mythos on a glitch that is inaccessible in Vanilla Minecraft... why? The only reason this name gained any sort of support is because a few kids on /v/ liked the idea, and then a bunch of other people supported it to inflate their "4chan changes the world" ego.
Hard to choose... Farlander sounds as mysterious as the mob looks, but Enderman sounds so much cooler. Anyways, it doesn't matter. Notch said he will keep Enderman, and, quote, "Notch has stated however that he will not change their name, regardless of this petition, going as far as to joke that he should change the name of the Far Lands to "The End" instead."
I'm sure that made a twitter post saying that if he changed it to farlanders then he'll change the farlands to the end. I agree with notch. Enderman sounds shadowy while farlanders seems like some sort of tribesman. I'm sure that the thing doesn't look like one.
The name does not really matter to me. What matters is that I am going to have to make a giant lava moat around my giant fortress, which is located in the middle of a forest. *sigh* :sad.gif:
