The end of a road? by Pelpelajax June 12, 2014 at 7:06 PM UTC

Is this the end to donator ranks and maybe servers in general? It clearly states that you can't have a player base with paying and non players. https://mojang.com/2014/06/lets-talk-server-monetisation/

I hope not or I will never play Minecraft again.

It will be the same for a lot of people, no more fun servers, no more MC

2 things.
1. It says if you want to GIVE ACCESS to the server you may not allow any other people in for free...
2. Buying ranks are donations, but servers like giving something in return to their donators

Reading this, I now have changed my opinion about this. This is a good thing. NOW TAKE THAT HYPIXEL! EAT IT!

Mojang wont allow pay to win servers. Donor ranks are fine. PEts, and gizmos are also fine but whats not ok is getting a donor rank so you have an advantage in gameplay.

Oh mojang why do you have to be so money whoreish.
Anyway three big servers will be effected by this mostly, which are, McPvP, Mineplex, and Hypixel.

I honestly hope this happens. I hate people who donate hundreds of dollars to servers and are invincible. I could care less if my rank was removed right now.

But that means of you donate to avicus,myou get an advantage in walls, nexus and elimination which is basically going to be illegal.

It appears you cannot sell anything that effects gameplay. This is a big change and will effect many servers, but I think it will be worked out.

But basically you can't have different classes them in like nexus, or commands in walls as they give you and advantage in game play

It most likely will be discarded as Mojang is getting a lot of resistance from it.

It's their game. They can do whatever they want. It's part of their legal documents, they are just starting to enforce it.

The only real way it would affect Avicus is the in-game shop items on Nebula, such as gernades and time bombs. Otherwise than that, we're mostly in the clear

nu man

Even if it's their game, they have to weigh the consequences... If they change+Enforce the EULA to what they threatened.... they would lose a lot of revenue.

And the only way it will affect Avicus isn't even that...

Avicus will shut down. (If they do as they threaten)

Mojang has stated donors cannot have any perks or such, so they blend in with the crowd, otherwise it would be considered selling, and not allowed.

Even if mojang becomes more lenient, kits will also be affected.

Most likely, they will either: make their demands more lenient, and/or scrap enforcing the EULA so strictly.
