So, I was on the minecraft server that I regular on when a guy named "Notch" came on. He was wearing the Notch skin and he had a mojang cape. I talked to him a bit and he seemed real, although I still have my doubts. So I was wondering if Notch wears a cape in game. And if he goes to random servers just to see whats goin' on. I'm very suspicious that I was getting pranked. But I really don't know. I JUST WANT ANSWERS!!!!
You probably were pranked. The server owner probably had a bot plugin on the server, spawned "Notch" (which uses his name, thus gets his skin including his cape), and proceeded to respond pretending to be notch.
So yes, you were tricked.

All Mojang staff wear the cape when they play Multiplayer. And I have heard of a few cases of Notch visiting seemingly completely random servers. I also don't see how someone could pretend to be Notch, because the player's name appears next to their typed message.

I believe there is a plugin on bucket servers that allow the owner to type through another name. I got tricked by a server owner the same way back at the start of beta, but I don't know what he used to do it.

Oh damn. That just made this a lot more confusing. I wonder if this "Notch" character was moving like a Human or a NPC. Because this info would make things more easier to figure out.

he was talking and walking like a normal player, pausing to type and all
Notch is coding the 1.8 update, getting married, and doing a bunch of other things. I dont think he has time to go on to a small server and talk for a while. Also, the real notch has a yellow name.
Yes but I asked him what time it was in Sweden and he said almost 4:00 a.m., I don't believe he would have anything important to do at that time. And his name might have been yellow I can't quite remember.

That's classical that he has a yellow name. Even if it was yellow then it would be client-side and the client gets render data based on the players username so it would still show up yellow.
So yes, you were tricked.

Maybe it was notch?
Btw, your username is funny.

(Is that joke too old yet?)

If so people can pretend to be someone through a hacked client

....halp meh
i know it was definitely not a bot. He was talking, he had a personality. Not a bot
