1.8, MCGamer, and You: A Short Story

[GoldenEagle123]

Great work, really looking forward to this being implemented, however sadly there is no news on stopping hackers..

 

[Mauro]

Yay!!! Finally 1.8
Oh can't wait to change my name!

Very cool, thanks for your work on this!

Lovely Ideas! Altough I hate how 1.7 users will still be able to play without upgrading, this will cause the hackers to still be there, which is really annoying. Now, I'm talking as the entire EU Network I think, which is overtaken by the power of hackers, and the servers supporting both 1.8 and 1.7 is going to be a big, big, big problem for us legit EU players...

I'm so pumped for this! Everyone take time to thank Ava and the rest of the Dev Crew for doing these awesome things!

It's really appreciated and it's a great thing to know that after months of waiting 1.8 is finally coming out

Let's get ready to rumble c:

What will you do with the enchanting? The enchanting system will be changed and now you'll need lapis for enchanting.
Will the lapis spawn in the chests or you'll need to sponsor it to a player just like enchanting bottles?

You do realize that there'll probably be a new hacked client out for 1.8 the day it comes out, right? That's how it was with 1.7 as well, and 1.7 was arguably almost a bigger update in some aspects.

We'll cross that bridge when we actually go 1.8-only. For now, let me direct you to this exchange:

What about enchanting?

It'll be the same as in 1.7 until we drop 1.7 support.

Thanks so much guys. Hopefully this is a smooth transition.

Gotta say, I am pretty excited for 1.8! I have been enjoying the snapshots and I am interested in seeing how MCGamer utilizes its new features!

Does MCGamer Airways offer peanuts? If so, I'd like to buy a ticket to Valleyside University.

I know right, but remind of when 1.7 came out... The biggest and most known hack clients needed some weeks to update (around 3), so we would have atleast a week of safe EU servers so new players can try what we tried a year ago... The EU network without any hackers.
Anyway, I pm'd Chad (and also you I'm guessing, unless you have that block thingy) about a revolutionary way to stop aimbot hackers, maybe I should try contacting y'all via the MCGamer e-mail address.
