Jeb updated the "most likely" release date for 1.8 to September 12th, 2011! Bear in mind, this isn't a guaranteed release date - just the most likely one as of this writing. Keep an eye out for it!
Additionally, it has been confirmed that - at present - experience orbs will not have a practical use until 1.9. Further, while villages will be generated, they will be curiously absent of a population. How eerie! We will continue to provide information as it surfaces, including the release of 1.8! Stay tuned!
I just look at it this way... Monday the 12th will come, and then they will say it will be the next week, then the next week. I will believe that it is out, when it is on my computer, and I am FINALLY playing it! It will be so nice once I get to play! I have been looking forward to this for a LONG time!
so whats the point of this update when they cut half of it and give us lame **** most of us doesnt even want ? like the hunger bar
Would you rather wait a few more months?
A whole bunch of people wanted watermellon and Mojang gave them watermellon.
Also 1.8 will keep you busy until 1.9 comes.
This has gotten pretty rediculous in terms of what we have gotten so far. Notch has delayed the Adventure update from 1.7, to 1.8. Now hes delayed the release date of 1.8. Now hes essentially only giving us half the content if the village is going to be empty in 1.8. Honestly, its pretty pathetic If hes going to promise us content in a certain update, then drops us with a **** poor representative of it. If you're going to state when something is coming out, then state it correctly. I dont mind the delays, its just the fact hes blatantly lying is what angers me.
I officaly hate jeb, first he pushes it back a day, now a week! i set up my computers last night so me and my friends could play 1.8! now we are juse f'ing sitting here reading this artical! I HATE YOU JEB!
But, the more we wait, the more excited we get when 1.8 releases.
