It also frustrates me how a good portion of people are blindly supporting it just because it is what mojang wants. Please think for yourselves and form your own opinion on why this will be bad and good.
This. Mojang is now just acting like a bunch of Nazi's.
Even ELECTRONIC ARTS and ACTIVISION (okay, not really activision anymore, but back when they had dedicated servers in 2010) restrict against selling in game perks, like reserved slots, double XP etc; and you KNOW you're bad when you sink lower than EA. Valve allows it in ALL of their games, custom camos, more ammo, better guns to start etc.This is how communities survive in the gaming world, it's how they always have, and it's simply because people WILL NOT donate for nothing, and I don't blame them.
I've also heard there are a few big communities exempt from this EULA. If this is in fact true - then it's all about money for Mojang, and they've turned into another company who was built by the community and gave them the middle finger. Playing favorites and picking and choosing? In light of that, if I were any other server, I'd keep doing what I've been doing, and that's that. If Mojang is going to play dirty like that, I'll give them a bit fat middle finger back.
Mojang, you didn't build Minecraft, we did; and let's be honest here - Minecraft was a fluke. Right place at the right time. You're amateur programmers who fluked out on a good idea. I say amateur because you seem to make it worse and worse with every major release. Considering how LITTLE you've actually done for your own game, do you REALLY want to bite the hand that's been feeding you for the last few years? WE made you your millions. Not you.

Anywho, when I click "change security questions", it says "Error! An e-mail was already sent within the last two hours, try again in a while." I did have an email sent to me - a password change request...but it's been saying this for 2 days now. You'd think a company that is so "customer oriented" would have a working email system.
I'm extremely frustrated now. I did send Mojang an email using their form, but who knows if I ever get a response...any ideas?

This effectively cripples any new servers ability to get started. It'd be like a quadriplegic trying to run a race.
If I don't see servers like The Walls and Woodycraft shut down, like immediately, I'll be calling shenanigans.

Without these servers, Minecraft would have died, two years ago.
Even EA doesn't prevent perks in their Battlefield games from being sold by players. This is nonsense.
Mojang are just a bunch of nazi's.

What I do think they should be doing is taking into consideration that they "Released" Minecraft as a full on product in 2011. They need to have a more "final" update cycle. Not just "random release, break everything"...they should bundle more updates and upgrades into say...yearly version updates. It's such a hassle on the community the way they do it now - and as a developer myself, I can say it's the most logical way of doing it.

I run bitdefender. Also, I have a technet account, and all i got in mine was 8 Enterprise:P No pro or anything. Full version. I'd blame a virus too, if this hadn't continued through reformats. I even reformatted for this specific issue in December. Before installing anything I got java and minecraft w/optifine, and the same thing happened.

Have tried that, man. Tried using 6 month old drivers, tried using betas. No dice...That's my entire issue. It's always nvogl64.dll that it's pointing to, and I don't know anyone who can actually decipher the error log to tell me why, ha.

I only use optifine. That's it...and I doubt I have a virus. That snooper timer and timer hack thing is in almost every other minecraft crash error log. I'm starting to give up hope...I need Optifine. Especially now that 1.5 is out, as apparently Mojang has no clue how to correctly optimize their game.

I'll be playing and my window will just close. It'll just be gone. After which I can find that above error in the .minecraft folder. Always points to nvogl64.
I prefer to use magic launcher, but it also happens when manually installing the mod and using the stock launcher. Tried SKMC's launcher too, same bad result.
What I've tried:
Updated video drivers
Downgraded video drivers
Updated/complete removed/reinstalled java
Tried java 8 (As you can see in the given error)
Deleted .minecraft, redownloaded etc.
Running java and minecraft.exe in compatibility mode (xp, 7, vista etc)
Dedicating more/less RAM to minecraft
Tried with SLI disabled
Even tried removing my second video card completely
Updating LWGL
This has actually been happening to me since 1.4.7. Just didn't have time to investigate and troubleshoot...now that I do, it's really frustrating.
Here's a DXDiag:

You'll notice I'm using beta nvidia drivers. I've been using the WHQL drivers from nvidia, the non beta ones, with the same results. As you can tell, I've tried pretty much everything, ha.
This doesn't happen when using stock minecraft...but with 1.5 especially, optifine is important, otherwise I get mad stuttering:(
My specs:
CPU: Intel i7 2600k @ 4.7GHz
GPU: 2xGTX 680s in SLI
RAM: 16GB G.Skill Ripjaws 1600MHz
Motherboard: ASUS Maximus V Formula
SSD: Crucial M4 256GB (Minecraft runs off this; have tried running it from HDD)
OS: Windows 8 Enterprise x64
Oh and before you ask, I didn't buy dual 680s for Minecraft:P
Thank you:)

Even the Cryengine 3 minecraft mod runs better than this:P
