Im sure hoping its the 8th, but I'm kind of mad at Notch because he said that the previous worlds wont be compatible because he is adding a new biome and everything , so looks like I'll have to delete my world, but I think I'll wait and see...

I am purely excited that 1.8 will extend some capabilities. And the Enderman? It should not be scary compared to Herobrine but a video I saw claims the Enderman is Herobrine but I will not believe that vid. Herobrine is a myth.... or is he?

Wo, wait just a minute. Who told you this or did you see Notch post it himself?

According to Notch and Jeb, the old worlds will be just fine, although the transition going from the 1.7.3 world to the 1.8 world may look very ugly. You can imagine what it may look like for a mountain to just stop halfway and turn into grassland.

But yeah, I've seen Notch and Jeb repeatedly tell people that their old world will be fine, although it will be a rough transition when loading new chunks.

You can play on old worlds, but you will have to travel away from your spawn point for the new things to generate.

That's actually going to be my biggest problem come 1.8. I traveled fairly far outside of the spawn the first week I started playing and now the original spawn area is covered in buildings, farms, and traps for mobs. I like to keep everything connected so the first thing I'll have to do is pick and choose which direction I'm going in. I guess I'll use creative mod first to work on a path that goes fairly far out.

Or...

I could make a few nether portals to get the job done faster.

Anyways, only two more days before this is supposed to happen!
