I'm hardly EVER on the minecraft forums. When I am, it's for a few minutes. So if you're gonna ask me a question, don't send me a PM, send me an e-mail.
I represent Wrath Minecraft. A great roleplay/adventure/survival/pvp server, and a great place to meet friends. Here is it's official post: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/337005-rpgbukkit-wrath-a-minecraft-server-247
A new image of the new creature - commonly referred to as "Endermen" - was released recently (enhanced here, for light levels). This image is much more up-close-and-personal than the first, giving us a good look at the new creatures. It would seem that wearing a pumpkin prevents the new mob from seeing you, although this is unconfirmed at present.
Additionally, Notch mentioned a possible name-change for the newly minted mob, "Farlander" being suggested and, apparently, already in heavy use.
We have a poll for the creature's name, check it out! Response to the poll was so overwhelming that it actually overflowed what the poll was capable of storing! We have fixed the poll - however, any previous votes will have to be re-cast. We apologize for the inconvenience!

the problem with farlander is notch may remove the farlands actually making the maps infinite i think he was going to do this right from infdev but he would have to spend a month or however long it takes between updates because he would have to change the world generator infinite maps are probably coming in 1.9 though
They are really really creepy looking, that is why. The block taking thing is not really a problem because I do a walk around my fortress every day plus the walls are four blocks thick.
Stop being so superstitious and afraid Slenderman, to those who are. Obviously if it's just a choice between which one sounds cooler then there's nothing wrong but there are people who pick Farlanders because they are scared of Slenderman.

Secretly living in their own ways and mining for diamond such as you...Explains all the large open cave areas...

to keep them from moving his house blocks. but they only move generated blocks so its not too bad
