The following rules are in effect for this talk page.
Continued violations will result in further action.

1. Herobrine is not real.
Topics and posts saying otherwise will be removed.

2. Discussing the fact that he is not real is pointless.
This includes responding to posts breaking rule 1. These will be removed as well.

3. Do not post stories.
This is a wiki talk page, not a forum. We are dedicated to fact checking and adding further developments, not to indulge in roleplay or ghost stories.

4. Suggestions and ideas to change who he is, how he acts, or other aspects of Herobrine cannot be honored.
The Minecraft Wiki treats the original image and the Brocast livestreams as the only canonical sources.

The Herobrine page was created to document an extremely popular community phenomenon created by an anonymous player and recognized by Mojang Studios.
Herobrine was never real and spamming this talk page saying otherwise is a disservice to the community.

Herobrine stream information! / Video editor needed!

Just to inform watchers/editors of this page, I am currently in talks with Copeland, the person who started the original Herobrine stream that propelled Herobrine into popularity.
I'm getting a new wealth of knowledge from my talking, and shall be wikifying it ASAP. Some of this data has already been wikified, which you can currently peruse.
I have asked him several questions the wiki likely wants to know. Why, how, who knew, did you expect it to blow up, what happened after etc. etc.

He has also put himself forward to do the voice-section of the Herobrine video I've tried to get set up, much like Curse's own videos. This is a great turn of events! We just need a video editor to squash all of this together, so if anyone wants to volunteer, please do message!! --Kizzycocoa 00:57, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

Herobrine Pronunciation (Help needed!)

Kizzycocoa, for the American pronunciation, I don't think people pronounce it the "brine" as the "brin" in Sergey Brin. Most people pronounce it as "heerobrine" (brine rhymes with fine). Could you change that please? Thanks --M0rphzone(talk) 02:29, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

see, I'm unsure there. Most of my American friends said it as such. Tell me, these friends/you, did you formulate your pronounciation after, or before we put it on the wiki page? Because before, all the American youtubers, my American friends, and even outsiders I had spoke to ho were American generally used that pronunciation, prior to us setting the Swedish/mojang/stream's standard as canonically correct.
I shall change it, implying a culture difference, but I will want some form of study done. Such as asking random friends in your countries what they'd say, and making a statement such as "generally, Americans pronounce it like this". --Kizzycocoa 02:37, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
I have escalated this to a study, just so we can be sure.
I strongly recommend all participants find non-minecrafters, and ask them, so to keep the study free of any existing bias. --Kizzycocoa 02:49, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

I have contacted most of my English friends who don't play MC, including my entire family. They all say "bryne". A common reason was because a brine is a salt water thing. Perhaps this is the lead factor? --Kizzycocoa 02:40, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
When I first saw that name, the pronunciation I ended up with before reading or knowing anything was herro brin (think of Korean stereotypes with speech and second syllable rhymes with chin). --Kanegasi C 03:42, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
That is the incorrect version, whch we're attempting to trace. Where are you, location wise? Please add yourself to our chart if you can!
I myself saw it as bryne. as I first-hand went through the Herobrine process live, I know I saw the image before the stream, thus mine wasn't affected. if anyone thinks it unfair, do a -1 on the UK hiro-bryne count. --Kizzycocoa 22:31, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
I've added myself to the Herro-Brin tally. My brother and I have always pronounced it that way and, while I can't put any names to this, am sure i've heard other use this pronunciation too. --GhostOfRattman 02:55, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
This is very likely. all major fansongs use the brin version, which prompted the wiki to find the bryne version as canonical, due to mojang and brocraft use. The question now is, how did users come up with the brin version? Brine is already known to be a salt water compound, but where has brin come from?--Kizzycocoa 03:00, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

I used to pronuce it Herro-Brin like in this song of Herobrine [[1]] but now I pronuce it Hiro-Bryne plus that song is good! :) Megatron James 16:49, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

- Herobrine Video info-

- Click on URL to see a Video of him. - <Video deleted>

This is not going on the page. at all. Herobrine is not real, and that video would severely contrast with this fact. This wiki is ten times the resource than that video.
Furthermore, if you want to share your video playlists, do not do so on the wiki. we are a wiki. not a forum. --Kizzycocoa 22:26, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

"Current stance on Herobrine" logical fallacy.

A quote was posted under the stated section by the joint developer stating,"We have no plans at all to add herobrine. I doubt this will ever change.", yet the section states that the quote *confirms* Herobrine will never see an official release. That should be changed so as not to draw conclusions and prevent bias. 184.57.161.27 08:17, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

I do not see how this is a logical fallacy. herobrine is not in minecraft, and will never see an official release. this is true. He does, however, have a mod release. --Kizzycocoa 21:46, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
I believe you miss the point. The support this article gives for Herobrine never seeing an official release only says they "doubt" they will change their minds on the topic of Herobrine, yet they've repeatedly changed their minds in the past. One cannot base a factual statement on a doubt expressed by the developers. Therefore, I suggest one changes the section to say something along the lines of, "This confirms that at this point, the developers have no intention of adding Herobrine," instead of using the word "never" for something that cannot be proven as fact. 184.57.161.27 03:17, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
They have only changed their mind once, actually. Regardless, I do believe most of Mojang do not want him in-game, but do like him as a concept. I expect the act of refusing to make him go in-game, while removing him every update, is merely to antagonise this subject further. There is no doubt in my mind that Herobrine will never see an official release. can it be proven? no. Is it the likely outcome? yes.
The reason it sounds so final, is to attempt to curb Herospam. It is to tell users that he will never be in, so they aren't so gullible to the rumours. If I put "likely", users could use that to say "!OMG HE'S IN EVERYONE!!!!!", leading to masses of Herospam from users who've never seen him, but want to be the "cool" crowd who have, who are in turn, also lying.
The never stops that scenario from occurring in the future. In the event of his EXCEEDINGLY UNLIKELY addition, we will happily rephrase it. until then, that never is the difference between gullibility and sanity. --Kizzycocoa 16:54, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Original troll video

Has anyone recorded the troll video of Herobrine that was on Brocast? If so plz upload to Youtube and give me the Url on my user talk page thank you! Megatron James 21:31, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

I have gone to nearly everyone involvedin that stream in a hunt for this video. I have had no success. But if someone does have a recording, the wiki would very much like to obtain it. --Kizzycocoa 21:46, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Kizzycocoa have ever seen the Brocraft stream because I am doing research on Herobrine my self but some times I do it at night on sometimes I freak out because no lights are on and my bro has 2 flashlights and shines it in my room and creeps me out Megatron James 16:43, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

I have. I wish I could transfer those memories to screen, but I can't. so most of this page relies on my memory, which can be faulty at times.
For example, I thought the jumbled message in the "Him.html" was hidden in the source code and had a black background. I was wrong.
Non-the-less, he is not real. at all. --Kizzycocoa 16:47, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
