If you buy what you need, you have buyers remorse when something better is released! Simple logic.
Plus, this is our DREAM PC, right? There was never a limit on how much money we could spend or what we could buy!
If you did what I did, you would need over 16 GB of RAM just to keep the system from locking up (it's always fun to see how well your system does after you change a few lines of code and recompile the entire Linux kernel while you are doing a kernel upgrade...I do that on a 32 GB machine sometimes), and bumping it up to 64 GB is just preparation for the future (if I felt like it, I could get a server motherboard and bump it up to at least 96 GB of RAM, but that might be a little unnessecary).

Considering how Disney has failed recently and just wants more and more money (which is why they bought companies like Marvel), I say this will suck.
They treat most of the franchises they buy the same way EA treats the companies it buys.

Also happens on the official Minecraft Forums for me.
But, I don't care. I'm just proceeding with caution and firewalling the crap out of my system (plus, it runs Linux, so I have a lower chance of getting a virus).

User gets in bed. Owner has disguise plugins that hide you from the player list.
Owner types applies world edit commands to bury house.
Owner then types in /time set 0 and make it daytime right as you would fall asleep on SSP.

Am I the only one who notices something is wrong here?
Even in the Far Lands (which requires 1.7 or earlier), you can't go past 32,000,000 and stay on the ground without falling into the void. You are over 1 billion away from spawn. Plus, the lag that comes from going over 32 million away from spawn can easily bring down most computers and servers.
Either you were playing on a super computer or a super computer acting as a multiplayer server.
