So Chris, where are those wolves you said were going to be there yesterday?

These are the changes made in the last update, wolves won't be coming until the next one.

by Twentydragon Fri Mar 25, 2011 7:12 pm

I'm aware of that. Earlier this week, Chris and his friend were saying that wolves were going to be added to Minecraft Beta on Thursday (yesterday). This hasn't happened.

EDIT: I've edited the original post to make it clearer what's being discussed here.

Fair enough, but I don't think there has been any updates yet, sometimes it comes at strange times because of the time difference and Notch's general laziness Razz
