why does everyone insist on them being evil? the pumpkin could keep them from seeing him or they could just not care less! all they are is long skinny things, why cant you leave them alone to carry their grass blocks around in peace?
Due to the Slender Man similarities, many have petitioned to change the name "Endermen" to "Far Landers". 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.
Directly from Notch, notice the "Notch has stated however that he will not change their name regardless of his petition"
Also they aren't even FROM The Far Lands, why is everyone saying it?

Enderman sounds creepy.
Farlander sounds Heroic and honorable and not scary at all. Reminds me of the "Lone wanderer" from the Fallout series, which that name is Honorable and very un-unique.

It did remind me of that, but also "highlander," which presents its own set of... unique... associations.
The idea of them being from the far lands is a cool one - but the name "farlanders" is too aesthetically unpleasant (both tonally and pictorally) for that consideration.
So much so that I registered an account to help in the effort to prevent it.
XD this debate kinda sounds like a bunch of guys arguing about whos gonna win the superbowl,
I go for Farlanders because Iv'e never heard of a place in minecraft called the ender... but farlanders has farlands but enderman sounds like slenderman, so its kinda even...

They had that in the original NPC villages screenshots.

He said Farlanders is much more common (according to Googling).
I still say it should be "Enders". And not the horribly unoriginal "Endermen"

...Really? Ya think so? Strange, how could farlanders and the farlands be related in any way?
