MOST SHOCKING NEW ABOUT THIS SALE







this is so sad what will mojang do if this becomes a epademic

goodbye mojang minecraft will go extinct with microsft owning it trust me.

looks like we may as well jsut stay with 1.8 go offline mode and boycott any microsoft version of this game i know i will not be supporting microsoft i stoped coding sites for IE years ago due to there lack of standards and how they do everything backwards Micro soft will sell all your data to NSA CIA and other corparations use the game to advertise and make money of minors something, this is why with the eula mojang said you can advertise people do not relise how much money you can make advertising 2billion that is chump change



#BOYCOTTMINECRAFT_IFTHEYSELL_MIRCOSOFT

BOYCOTT mojang now before this goes through cause this is just BS if microsoft own mojang you can kiss Mincraft goodbye trust me.... but sad to say that looks as if they will sell as the DMCA has screwed them up to point they proberly just want to get rid of minecraft then go opensource to get bukkit and other back up

dont disable store stores are still great to have just keep them in line and you will never hear anything bad from mojang

this is epic

now read that and decide whether you would like to go back to old eula and get shafted harder then before, or at least have some options to make money, most games online make it so any form or RL money making out side of there systems is highly illegal.

The fact is you either adjust to the new model, or you risk getting shutdown,I do not see a issue here, I'm drowning in the tears and its filling my pool for summer.

So all in all i love minecraft single, multi, vanilla, everything and support mojang protecting there IP rights and if I liked a server or even the sound of it i would definitely pay access to play it I would probably want a trial period before i choose that.(plugin makers get making those trial period plugins), and if you cant afford it use payment walls that offer surveys and watching videos for free to earn points then trade those points for your monthly/yearly pass. it really is not hard to think of all the cool ways you could now legally make money with mojang.

most people complain because well there not happy with the effects gameplay and everyone being equal, this is all based off the old model and well that is where you either think of a new model or give up. Exciting times ahead that's for sure

I am not sure if anyone has asked this question, but are server owners allowed to sell "tags", "prefixes" and "Suffixes" then? Or is this also included as not illegal to?

do they affect gameplay if not then there fine to sell

who cares if you can not afford to run a 20k server and you rely on kids to donate then you should not be running a server should you
scale back to more affordable levels or make server so good that people will donate with out getting items and or game changing perks

you all act as if just because it was not ever enforced that the rules were never there in first place this whole thing is old news just many of you never cared to read terms. something i learnt from playing games like blizzard and other games is there eula and TOS needs to be understood fully before choosing to play a said game.

It is not mojang fault nor responsibility to make sure you read it, that is on you guys if you choose not to and then find out later you dont like it then that's just tough you should learn to read first.

the new rules do not stop you form making money infact they allow for even more money to be made you just have to change the mind set that items are what people what to buy most servers offer items and resrict use of said items unless donator

like for instance servers have donations options to use lava/water buckets get access to nether etc etc the list goes on
most these server make more money then they need to.

all in all your complaining about stuff thats been there from day one its just now bad servers have abused this fact and mojang have had enough of it you want to point blame, go point blame at the servers that are breaching eula just to make proffits

now I could be wrong on this but if im not mistaken people could easily switch to a point system, "donate" for a set amount of points which have no connection to minecraft and from there you can bypass the EULA to keep things going.

seeing as the money is not being spent on a minecraft item just points

as long as those points are not used to give items or alter the game play its still classed as a virtual currency which you cannot sell

you guys really need to expand your brains think out side box for a min and understand how to make money the legal way
i run a server and i dont care about the new rules cause i always followed the old rules and i still get donations cause people like my server not cause of what they dont get ingame, your server is either good and people support it or its not and you need to scale back and work on making it better

there is a easy way to tell if you donation is classed as legal

Dose your donation effect game play in any way, if so then its illegal

colored names /ranks =legal
pets particle effects things that do no effect the way one plays the game
restricting game play to get donation = illegal
selling currency ingame for money = illegal

Its pretty simple those who say what about custom mods thats not mojangs property well sorry to bust your bubble,
but you agreed that any mods made for minecraft are mojangs property says so clearly that you must allow them full rights to these mods to use and share in any way they like. so no selling stuff from mods = illegal too

you can still sell items and go against there terms but you risk them being able to shut you down so its upto you to decide to follow rules or dont

I will say as a Vanilla mincraft server owner these rules are awsome and totally fair.
I hear alot about how vanilla server are not popular the main reason for that is the LAG that comes with the original mojang jar.
My server cost roughly 200$ a month on a dedicated server with ddos protection and if i dont make the donation goal, I have to pay out of my pocket, which is totally fine in my book.

I just made a mojang jar skyblock server and it is totally fair to play all player have same options and there is no special perks and or items you can buy like other servers out there, mind you its still snapshot only server but that will change once 1.8 comes out.

Basicly you can charge to whitelist people on your server as this is paying access to server you can open whitelist on a weekend give all a trial if they like and choose to play it then maybe they will pay to access your server.

I like not selling currancy in a server as any eco server can tell that it effects ballance and gives unfair advantage to others so that is a great move,
you can sell items just not ones that effect gameplay that is fine too.
this dose not mean kit servers will die you just have to change your model to be in right with mojang
you could allow people who vote to collect tokens those tokens could then give you access to the OP kits more votes mean more people, more people mean more who if they like your server would be willing to donate and or pay for whitelisted access

my server accepts donations and if you spend 10$ or over we change the color of your name this in no way effects gameplay just shows a thankyou for donating anything less or more is a bonus, our servers are not run with the intention to make money nor will they ever be.

once mojang sorta out LAG for vanilla servers then im sure they will get more and mroe popular

also these big servers could advertise in there server say your a youtuber you want to try get more subs you could pay the owners to advertise your channel sites that make tools for servers could do same, these are actually great ways to bring in money.

what the issue is most have gotten used to selling items and gamechanging features or access to donator only worlds as the main model.

what will happen now is only those who work this new model to there favour will continue to make money.

all in all this is great for comunnity cause face it more kids play minecraft then adults and kids will steal cards abuse phone donations to get ahead or be cool this allows greater protection to the youth that play as there suggestable at best and more likley to do things they should not.

so yeah there is many ways you can make money legit just gotta work hard

it all boils down to fact if your server is good people will support it if its not then dont ecpect to last long if you cant afford to run it yourself.(tbh if you cant afford to run a server with out donations you should not be running one in first place)
