heard speculation that 1.8 is being released today, thats why minecraft went down. Cant confirm nothing but mcforums said it might be.
 
According to notch's twitter it isn't coming out tomorrow. "reports of a Sunday release are greatly exaggerated. I'll be in the air flying back to Sweden then".
 
It's Sunday, at mid day at the moment. NOTCH RELEASE 1.8 NOW, YOU'RE LATE! :D

EDIT: Yaaay for my 700th post, I just realized. :p
 
Yeah just wait for proper news from notch's tumblr and not rely on a "suggestive" forum board. It's not good to get excited from a rumor. You can't really trust a person with "Insider details".
 
The Full game won't be coming out August 28th, but there are rumors that the demoed version will come out that day. That way bugs and things can be found and fixed before final release. Remember though, it's just a rumor, don't get too excited.

The full game doesnt come out until the end of November.
 
I have read that alpha players get the full game for free. Not for the Beta players as I have read on the minecraft website months ago. I clearly seeing an advertisement on the website telling me that Alpha would get the full download before they update to Beta. This is when I bought the game for myself and for me friend since we knew that we'd get the full version one day.

I bought the game in beta and it said i'll get the full version free.

Beta players also get the full game for free. Alpha players do get all post-release expansions free, but beta players don't.
 
Alright then. It's just been so long since I checked up about this information. Back then I though Beta players would not get the full game and would have to pay $5(Alpha used to cost $15 so it was a great deal for me and my friend) more after Beta is released.
 
No, no, nonono.

It doesn't matter whether you bought it in Alpha or Beta, either one you get free updates until the full game release, which you will also get free. The price was about $10 USD in Alpha and $15 in Beta, and when the full game is released it will be around $20 - $25 USD for the few that havn't bought it already. Notch shouldn't be too worried about money and charging people extra, he's already made over 50 million out of it...

Also, Dunc, it would be really nice if I could get my Castle imported, it's 9:11 pm now and I'll be up till about 1:30 or something (4 hours and 20 mins) if this time frame is fine with you. :)

EDIT: I just got kicked out of the server, 'read timed out', which useraly indicates that things just lagged out. I logged back in only to find the lag was deadly and everyone else was booted out too. :(

There was an "issue" with my card so the RAM for the server hasn't arrived. I've placed the order again with a different card but we now have to wait until Thursday for it.
 
This is what I have found on MC
Please note that when you buy the game, you're paying for the game as it is right now!
You will also get the full version of Minecraft when it is released.
So once you get the game is yours and all its updates
 
I think I may have found the problem with the Cartograph. It's not that the world is corrupt, just that the way it's laid out. See here.

I'll play with it a bit more.
