Alot of people have been freaking out about the new content getting added in 1.9, or should I say, the lack of it. I believe most of the forumn understands this, but I know some of us dont. We have been hearing alot of "The End", this mighty dimension of which Enderdragons exsist and Endermen rule the land. People are saying this completed diverted Notch's attention. Really guys? Notch has tons of stuff up his sleeve. Just because he isn't screenshooting it, or tweeting about it constantly doesn't mean it doesn't exsist! He's presenting the 1.9 release on stage at Minecon, dont you think he wants to keep us in the dark for an epic surprise when it hits? He and Jens arn't laughing under a desk right thinking "Ohohoh, how about we cram all this sidejunk in and not give what we promised them earlier!, Hehehe." Im not pretending that I know exactly whats and whats not going to be in the last half of the great Adventure Update, but I can promise you that it is going to be great. And Guys, even if they dont finish before the 18th, the time after that leading to Minecon is to tweek the current content to make it better, and less buggy. Im sure they could spend a few more days finishing what they started, and then work on the bugs.
The 1.9 release.
