I can't help but feel that the 1.2 update is a damage control response regarding the "xbox gets extra content whereas PC doesn't" and the upcoming Starbound, which seems to try and fill in the gaps Terraria didn't.
Still, odds are I'll pour hours upon hours when the 1.2 update hits.
I remember reading somewhere that the Terraria dev originally wanted to add a lot more to the game before releasing but had to put the game out early and somewhat incomplete for some reason, so he's been making these free updates (most notably this one and that last huge update) to finish off.
