Onus: And some people think it's totally unneccesary.
So are trees. You could just build your house out of dirt.
Thinking it's an un-necessary addition is just a matter of being attached to the game as is. The game is going to change a lot more than this so people ought to be prepared for it. There are plenty of additions to this game that we can complain about (ie. any blocks in general). However, you ought to be acceptable to change and additions otherwise you're just being nostalgic and stubborn. Can't wait to see what people have to say about alchemy and enchantments when they are implemented.
Let's be honest.. the only real complaint is that older structures had lot's of torches in use for decoration and people are worried this update will ruin it.. that is the only real complaint. If it's confirmed that they will be replaced, then no harm done.
Notch has said you shouldnt get attached to your saves, because any update might implement a feature making your old saves not work...
This is a monotonous point now and seems to be constantly quoted out of context. The original post, by Notch, is:
"The main branch of the game is currently called "Minecraft Alpha", and is under heavy development. It can be a bit unstable at times, so don't get too attached to your save files yet."
He does not say that you shouldn't get attached due to features. It clearly states that you should be weary of the bugs and glitches. If anyone finds otherwise, then by all means provide the source. However, it seems Notch is pretty conservative of original saves and worlds.
It won't be possible. That's the point behind a transitional object. That's the entire point for the wooden pickaxe's existance. If you don't place a torch, you're going to be punching skeletons all night. And considering this is early game equipment you are deliberately not using out of your own personal arrogance or something I don't even know why, it means you'll only have early game equipment.
You are grossly wrong about the transitional objection.
Firstly, wooden pickaxes are a requirement to get cobblestone to make stone pickaxe's and further. However, you really only need to use 1 wooden pickaxe ever. It is then rather useless after that.
In regards to the torch/lantern, how would it be possible for the torch to be a prerequisite transitional variable for lanterns? You hate repeating yourself but you have a gaping hole in your point - torches and lanterns do not have any visible transitional prerequisite.
Quote from Imacleverusername »
For the last god damned time, Notch said in an audio interview that all currently placed torches will be turned into lanterns.
With the upcoming update comes the essential question; will it delete old save files/worlds?
A few people have said yes, it will because of the amount of new updates (usually pointing to the Hell realm). This, to some, seems to be grounds for a new world. However, he does note that it is a realm that you are teleported to and teleported back, possibly giving the idea that you would not need to remake a world.
Others have quoted Notch as saying that old torches will be replaced with lanterns, implying that you won't have to delete old worlds/saves.
So, the question remains, will our worlds need to be rebuilt? Of course whether or not that is an issue or something to complain about is just another topic, I am just curious if it is something to expect is all.

To make a mockery of the other whiners about the updates. Come on, you like hearing the whiners every damn update?

I think it's un-necessary because whatever you would use fish for is already provided - we have food to increase health.
It's also stupid because it doesn't increase the difficulty of the game. It's just a boring addition.
I also hate fishing.
This is also a mockery of whiners complaining about the updates that they are finally getting.

Well, might consider that anyway. Here's the thing though;
Why bother playing for the rest of this month if the saves are going to be null? Sure, it's fun, but if you know it's a folly, then why bother?
If it is the case that you do not need to remake a world, then what changes should we expect for multiplayer servers in the future?
It's just for expectations is all. Whether or not it is a big deal is irrelevant really, just curious if it will happen.
I suspect that you will not need to make a new world judging from what I have seen.

Here's a good question for you guys:
How much has it cost you just to get a licence for gun ownership? In addition, where are you from..?
