This update is probably going to be even better than all the previous ones. I'm really impressed. They are improving the world generation, which in my opinion is the best part of this update. The smaller things like the new flowers are welcomed bonus too. People don't realise how much one or two new items and blocks can actually give the game a fresh new feel.
As for the haters, I suggest you take your negativity elsewhere, this is a pro-minecraft forum. We are here because we love the game, despite it's flaws. There are probably a thousand things that could be improved, but the same could be said about any other game or material product for that matter. Asking stupid questions like "can I get a refund?' is not going to achieve anything other than show how ungrateful you are for all of the free updates you have received since you bought the game. When Notch was leading the Minecraft team, people hated on him. When Jeb took over, people hated on him too. Now that Dinnerbone is playing a bigger role, people hate on him too. The only reason for this is people assume that they could do a better job. Or they assume that the time could have been used in another area.
Majority of us love any addition to the game. Not everything in the game needs to have a defined purpose. Most of us are not selfish enough to expect the game to cater for our personal tastes. If you don't like any of the new additions, they have released this thing called a new launcher that lets you choose which version of the game you want to play, Try it. Stop your whining and get over yourself. The game is great and you know it. If you disagree, then move along and play something else.
I love Minecraft, no matter what they add to the game it stays awesome. I can't think of any addition that has ruined the game for me. Sure there are some things that were added that have no use to my particular play style, but I am happy with the knowledge that millions of other people will be able to use them.

If your allegations are true, why on earth did you wait so long to leave? I mean, if I was receiving bad service from any form of service provider, I would stop using their service. On the outset you seem quite intelligent so you should rely on this and start making better decisions for you, and your community.
I am not sure which world you live in, but in the real world things don't run as smoothly as you would hope. Surgeons who have studied for 14 years still make mistakes that cost people their lives.
I wonder what you hope to achieve by posting such long, in depth complaints on a community forum. It reveals that you wish to tarnish their name, which I am sorry to say is petty and childish. Yes you may have received bad service, my post is not to dispute that at all, but the way you are handling it is astounding.
Logic dictates, that if MCPH is that bad, Hypixel, skydoesminecraft, theshaft and many of the other really famous youtubers/mapmakers/server owners, would all take their business elsewhere (you do know how much money they spend on their servers right?)
I admit that I have had service failures using this host too, but show me one host that runs without any errors? As I said, I live in the real world where there are so many factors to consider that I can't even begin to express myself about it.
At the end of the day, as with everyone you are entitled to your own opinion, but what you are doing is getting overly emotional about something that you could have chosen to not withstand. At any point you could have taken out a new plan with another host and migrate your server files over. Surely that would have taken a few hours as opposed to the weeks that you are claiming to have endured?
Cracked? I am sure you mean online-mode=false?

If you want to apply real logic to this problem then in actual fact nothing should have particles flying off of it when you walk, except maybe sand.
I've never seen particles flying off of my wood floor when someone jumps on it. Just saying.

If you host a server on your pc, you are limited by the upload speeds of your internet connection. You might have monster hardware capable of holding 100 players at a time but if your upload speed on your residential connection is low, you will still have a bucket full of lag.
Hosting it on your pc gives you the freedom to change the hardware as you see fit, and you inevitably have root access to your server but most hosting companies provide this and more these days.
The nice thing about a third party host is, they own the hardware. If the ram pops, if the ssd's crash, if the processors melt, you don't pay a cent towards fixing this. Most hosts also offer the ability for you to upgrade your servers specs if the need arises, which it often does when your server becomes popular.
If you are in a position to spend a ton of cash on a dedicated server box, and rent a commercial internet line, then I would say you should go this route but realistically it's more cost effective to host your server under another company. If you host your own server, you will need to pay for your own control panel too, unless you are happy with using putty or something similar to access the console.

Let me know if you need any help with anything.

I don't see how additional content has removed any of the sandbox feel.

I'm quite curios how this will affect things like donationcraft, server whitelists etc. If they make an easy way to retrieve a players UUID then it won't make much difference then. I see that dinnerbone mentioned that all players that are banned from servers by name, will automatically have their UUID banned once this comes out.

Maybe even on purpose.

Well firstly, you wont have this magical overview map of the world. Secondly, you missed my point entirely. I appreciate that you are so passionate about oceans but try relax a bit? You will still have "oceans" they will just be smaller.
So, by your reasoning, I am ignorant because you like to travel "endless" oceans? Well in that case, high five. Why don't you try engage me in civil conversation instead of petty name calling? Not everyone has to agree with your point of view.

The sad truth is, there is a portion of the community that will complain about anything. They are more interested in the actual complaining, than the issues they are allegedly complaining about. I assume they get an emotional rush from being validated by other like minded people?
Their natural progression is, complain that there is no snapshot yet >> Complain about the Snapshot when it's released >> When they see no-one really cares about their opinion, then they start nit picking at the smaller details.
I have respect for someone who can offer their opinion about why they don't like feature X Y or Z, and then offer a better, more logical suggestion. This rarely happens though. You will notice that most people who complain about in game features will say they think minecraft is going off the rails and what not, and leave it at that.
It's almost as omni-present and definite as the air we breathe, nothing is going to change any of the above. You should just come to terms with it, for your own sake. At the end of the day, everyone is entitled to their own opinions, as annoying as it may be for others to read.
That being said, I couldn't care less that they changed roses. To be honest I was not even aware that they did, but it makes no difference to me. The only contact I come into with roses is when I empty my iron farms collection chest.

Nice, may I have a link to your channel?
