OMG 1.9 is releasing on 25 of February!! Prepare for the end of PvP!! Prepare for the igloos. Prepare for rainbow command blocks and rainbow arrows xD Prepare for 128 STRONGHOLDS :3 http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/1.9
It's just like any other update, you can update if you want and not if you don't. Whining about it doesn't make sense, and gc isn't going 1.9, so chill.
Maybe yeah, they might update some part. They might introduce 1.9 survival which would be so much fun. Also they might include a new pvp server for 1.9. But again you'll always have 1.8.
according to aXed about a few months ago he declared in the old forum site that gc is making a test server if 1.9 came out and then only they do their decision
it will yust no spaming,you can only blocks with shields...raiding with frost walker will be OP :3 nope pvp isnt rined
why do you always think 1.9 rins pvp ok if you want autoclickes fine :3 and it isnt rined weapons yust have difrent damagesand atack speeds and it isnt rined
Pvp is just different. It's just like archer, some may like it some may not. I definitely like 1.8/1.7 pvp better, but it's just like a category. It will be different, doesn't mean it won't exist.
