It only happened if you logged onto the servers. If you didn't get on before the most recent update, you should still be in the wild/nether. EDIT: Ninja'd
This wasn't a part of our update, but possibly a bug in the new bukkit. Aikar is working on the fix now. If you haven't logged in yet tonight you should still be in your wild base. Right now, when you next login, you should STILL be in the wild but will get an error the first time you sign-in saying "The world you were in no longer exists - sending to town". However, you should still be in the wild and won't get the error again.
LOL they move really quick, I only got 2 and they came out of no where, so bye bye to grinding in the nether for xp? They drop, raw or cooked beef, gunpowder and nether brick. NOTE, I used a Looting 3 sword to kill them, those drops are not guaranteed!
that sucks. Making the nether 100x worse than it already is, like surviving wasn't hard enough already
I swear, if you made it so charged creepers can spawn without lightening, there will be hell to pay...
For all of those worried about the hellhounds, theres a way to prevent them from killing you, stand on a two high pad. The ones that spawn by me tend not to be able to even reach me when I am at one tall high block.
