Removed Herobrine? He was never in the game.

So is the update just an update like normal/TU’s/updates for Minecraft and for free and just the character skins will cost MSP correct?

I guess this means that at 9:00 pm Central time that the update will be released.

So basically tonight…

Yea. I’m glad for that too. That means that I don’t have to force myself to stay up for it either.

Anyone know the A to my Q? Also I am looking for a few people to play this with, I am “mature” so of course no fudging stuff up, I just wan’t to play with people all my friends play PC and mine is too haggard for Minecraft.

I think it will come in the form of a TU. Also the skins will cost. They will allow you to choose one of the default ones in the game if you don’t want to pay.

I’d play with you…(no homo)
