Not yay, currently.

The servers are messed up, and it seems to be slower on my PC. Im sure it'll be fixed though.

Uh, meh? It's only really just a normal update so far. It's been a while since I've played, though from the sounds of things when I make my return most of the glaring bugs should be fixed. And who knows, more features might make it in.

Notch said he might add a new mob, too.  :)

Not really a "fix" more or less a "feature that needs adding". Given the way development seems to be going, it's probably going to be a bit before biome downfall is implemented.

It was implemented before. "Feature needs fixing to work again."

Maybe, but I'd imagine that the implemention is going to have to be much different to work with biomes.

Oh well, meh.

WillyP tell me you know that when you buy beta you don't get future updates?

Snow is a feature that's already added that needs fixing.

Multiplayer is essentially dead right now, because the person who makes the primary server mod that everyone uses has said he won't update it until christmas. Apparently notch dealt it out pretty rough for modders this time.

I didn't buy anything, my wife did, I have no idea what the deal is. If you are going to sell a beta, it should include updates.  She doesn't know.

Oddly enough, http://minecraft.net/copyright.jsp hasn't changed but it probably will sometime. The idea is that you will get future updates for free but possibly not the final game. (there's been way too many rumors about what the change actually means)

Do you seriously think that someone would be insane enough to make updates paid for a game that updates even this often?

Thanks for posting that link, it sounds pretty clear to me.  They are going to include any updates to the game, but there is no guarantee the game will ever be finished.  Fair enough, since the kids are happy with the game as it is.  ;)
