So while I can live with npc villages with no npcs in 1.8, I am wondering if you think, once npcs are added to villages in 1.9, that mojang will also add NPCs to the already existing villages that were generated in 1.8. I am worried that in 1.9, you will have to generate new villages in order for them to have npcs in them. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks.
huh, good point. although i'm sure there will probably be npcs in the already spawned villages, because i'm *assuming* their spawn is dedicated to the village biome.

Very likely they will, as they'll be entities.
Entities=mobs, animals, players, etc, which changes all the time. Terrain once generated, cannot be changed barring a player/creeper intervening.
So we can assume NPC's will spawn inside Villages, once added. Though, there IS a chance they will not, as this IS a brand new system entirely so with such things, we're really just 'taking our best guess', since we know next to nothing about NPC's in general.
Yeah, I am hoping they will spawn though. It would be kind of a disappointment if you are building around a village in anticipation for 1.9, and then finally it comes and they don't show up. Well, I may have to learn how to use MCedit in that case!
I've been wondering about the exact same thing ever since I read that NPCs wouldn't be in 1.8 but villages would. What a disappointment it would be if we have to start over... again :\

Maybe someone can drag that info out of Jeb.
