Then let me ask you this: What does beta mean to you?

Throughout minecraft's current existence, we've been playing from Indev all the way to beta. In a technical sense, we're all testers of the game. How can you test if content is not given to you to perform said testing? If Notch will not give us an early release to scan and report bugs, what good are we as beta testers? If we purchase the game though we're not getting early content to check for bugs, then we're ordinary customers.

But that's only an estimate and may change. We do not know when during the day, the update will be out, but probably in the evening (central european summer time).

I don't normally read this thread, I just skim it because most of it is just people complaining about things they haven't played with yet. I did, however, want to point out for Ovus, considering their supreme dislike for the village buildings, that at the time Notch posted the first photo, he did say that they were a work in progress and the building design was not final.

I know it is asking a lot, but how about, instead of spending a seemingly monumental amount of energy hating everything we see about the next update, we put that energy toward something productive which may take our minds off of the negative thoughts running through our heads and allow us all time to chill and wait for something to actually be released before going off about it? I know it might have a detrimental effect on your post counts but once something does get released, you may then complain to your hearts desire. To do otherwise is to tantamount to dressing oneself as a fool when something which you have complained bitterly about on these forums is, dare I say it, actually ENJOYABLE and not at all like how you complained it was going to be.

I know I am probably wasting my time posting this because, let's face it, 140 pages will swallow this post quite easily. Aside from that, I'm reasonably certain that any complainer who does read it will completely disregard this post, or call me a Notch fan boi, or try to rationally explain their irrational dislike for whatever unreleased feature is being added to the game. Heck, they may even do all of the above! Anyway, just thought we needed (yet another) voice of reason to speak up in some misguided effort to prove that the Minecraft community isn't completely ungrateful.
