it will still probably take a while. i guess there is still a lot for the admins to fix at the moment. the villagers probably wont be added until all the major glitches are sorted out and most likely sometime after the servers birthday.

Maybe the servers tip message about the villager trading currency should be removed until then. I've seen several people ask in chat why the villagers (in the wilderness villages) are not trading shortly after the servertip told them to buy a currency for it.
