Goodbye Notch. Though you will still heavily influence the development of Minecraft, you're official reign is over. :(
From the initial development in May 2009, to where we are now, in December 2011, we have gone far. Starting by yourself, you have created this amazing community, and spectacular game. Though, I admit, I think some of the recent changes were extremely unnecessary, we have much improved since the little "Cave Game" back in '09. I know Jeb is an amazing developer, and will really improve Minecraft, but it'll never be the same without you at the lead, Notch. Rest well Notch, we hope to see more products from you in the future. :)
