As many of you already know, minecraft classic is on the downslope. First, the classic links were removed from the front page, now people can't even create a new minecraft username without buying premium. This is not only a tragedy, but a deliberate one by mojang and the minecraft developers. Minecraft Classic does not make them money so they are deciding to phase it out once and for all. If you didn't know about this, I can tell you what is happening.
When you sign up with a new account on minecraft.net, you are actually creating a mojang account.You can not log in to play classic using this mojang account because it is just the person's email account. To play minecraft classic, you must buy minecraft and create a minecraft username. This means that the rate at which people join and start playing classic has gone down dramatically since this has been the case.
I suggest that if everyone in this community of classic players wants classic to be around for months or maybe years to come, please help by doing one of the following:
Tell everyone you know on classic about this issue; awareness will spread word and allow more people to focus on keeping Classic alive.
Post on Minecraft forums everywhere to raise awareness about Classic's downfall.
Post on Jeb's twitter account (https://twitter.com/jeb_), on mollstam's twitter account (https://twitter.com/mollstam) or on the mojang team's twitter (https://twitter.com/mojangteam) to make them see that classic is not something they can just phase out. We need to show them that classic has a large, dedicated community that isn't willing to give up on Classic.
Post any ideas here about how we can raise awareness and keep mojang from strangling minecraft classic. Please everyone that has any care for classic and wants to see it be around for years to come, please like this post and do one of those awareness raising steps above. Thanks you all and I hope classic will be around in a few months to thank you as well!

I had some good memories with classic. I only think they removed it is because Minecraft is turning into a ty RPG. God I'm feeling nostalgic already.

That's too bad, they only reason I started playing minecraft was because of playing the classic mode for free and building things / visiting the multiplayer servers. I bought it in order to experience the joys of survival mode.
I wonder if it is just a bug or oversight by Mojang D:
I agree, and even when you do play classic, it shows your email instead of a username. Talk about privacy issues! I'd like my email private if I'm playing Classic, please.
It's indeed tragic that the change Minecraft brings along with it bulldozes through the old gameplay that everyone loved. Even though I agree with this thread to a certain extent, Minecraft Classic isn't something I'm going to petition for, simply because I've never played it xD
There's a minecreaft demo, and you can enter it by downloaing the launcher and putting your mojang account in the login field, and u can play classic without an account, to play go under the links to download minecraft and play in browser(main page), there is a link named "looking for minecraft classic?" and in the link page, in the bottom, theres a gray line of text"I want to play the old Minecraft Classic: singleplayer | multiplayer", click on singleplayer or multiplayer to play, easy, uh? or you could just enter "http://minecraft.net/classic/play", dont say nothing what you dont know exactly, DingusBungus .
I think that classic needs a big youtuber, someone who will make things out of it that people like and be able to put them out, and make classic more known, somebody similar to AntVenom, Cavemanfilms, etc.
...the change Minecraft brings along with it bulldozes through the old gameplay that everyone loved...
This is what makes me sad..I've noticed minecraft getting farther from the game I originally knew and loved. Personally, 1.7.3 was my favorite version. It hadn't turned into as much of an RPG as it is today yet, and it still had plenty of features. Idk..I personally preferred the simpler game
Classic is dying for me too. I created a minecraft account as fast as I can before this happened. I would recommend everyone using OpenClassic to play the old Minecraft Classic. I'm aware that I'm also a fan of the classic minecraft too.

Sorry to say, but you are wrong about this. When trying to log in to a server by using a mojang account, you get immediately disconnected and this error shows up on the console screen: "Player.LoginSequence: Unacceptable player name:(email account)"
This is the whole problem that I am trying to bring attention to. "dont say nothing what you dont know exactly, RicardoRedstone" You cannot login to servers with a mojang account, only a minecraft account. And you cannot make a new minecraft account unless you buy the game. So no new players can join Classic unless they buy the game. The phase out of classic is quick and intentional. I am trying to show everyone that this is a major problem because soon, the classic that we know and love will be gone.
Jeb, please solve this problem.
You've got the idea! XD Now write that on his twitter everyday!
I really don't know what you're saying. There's no point in focusing on removing glitches for a deformed version of the current game, when 8,000,000+ people have payed for premium. If something becomes less popular, it's usually for a reason.
I agree with what you are saying to an extent. Except Classic is dying because they are killing it intentionally, it isn't dying out on its own. Mojang is killing it because it wasn't just going away on its own. This isn't a natural phase out, because it it was I wouldn't have a problem with it. If now one wanted to play anymore, that's fine. But the fact that Mojang is killing it on purpose, even though thousands still play it - thats what makes me angry. The classic community is also large and has been widely ignored by Minecraft and Mojang. I don't expect them to focus attention on Classic, just keep it up and functional to the point where new players can join and have fun.
Minecraft Classic isn't something I'm going to petition for, simply because I've never played it xD
Then why post here XDXD
I am just trying to rally Classic users who don't want to see it disappear any time soon to actually do something about it. It wouldn't be hard for many people to get together and let our thoughts be know to mojang and the minecraft devs.
Persoanlly, I'm kind of outraged that Classic is dying. I go on this really amazing classic server. Ever since all those things happened to get rid of classic, people rarely come on that server. There used to be 80 people on the server at once! Now I'm almost always the only one on it! I'm really mad at Mojang for trying to get rid of Classic. I love classic, and as much as I love premium Minecraft, there will always be a little love for Minecraft Classic.
Classic needs to be saved, the more people who speak out about it, the better the chance it CAN be saved, Dingusbungus has the right idea, Post on jebs twitter, Let him know classic is a part of the game and needs to stay part of the game.
See, proof that Mojang isn't a lighthearted group of friends. They are still an evil company that will do anything to get them more money.
When you post things like this, I can't help but wonder if you're old enough to even post here. I mean seriously, to actually call Mojang an evil company (I love how you worded it, lol) for removing something you liked is extremely childish.
And I highly doubt they got rid of it to make more money. How in the world would that make them more money? What, is there some rich guy out there that hated the classic game so much that he paid mojang to get rid of it? lol I mean really, where is the logic behind that thinking?
Keep in mind, Classic Minecraft was nothing but creative mode with a heck of a lot less features. That was it. Honestly, what was the point of it? To make you feel nostalgic? If anything, if they did get rid of it, it was because almost nobody cared for it. Keep in mind this thread was made BECAUSE a lot of people stopped playing classic.
And everybody knows Mojang is now a successful large company. Nobody is hiding that. But to act like they're corrupt because of it is just immature. There's nothing wrong with having a successful business.
I'm half asleep with a throbbing headache, and yet I couldn't help but laugh almost the entire time I typed this post. Your post is just that ludicrous to me.

Actually, I don't care for classic at all.
Honestly if it wasn't for classic I probably would have never buyed Minecraft...
