Playing Minecraft again. First time since leaving the MRT Server about 3-4 months ago. Slowly working on doing changes to the W2TS.
\nI’ve been also procrastinating, looking for a few mods and wondering if I should update my server to the latest Bukkit build. I then saw something that seems to be ruffling a lot of feathers of the Minecraft Community, mentioned last Monday(the 16th).<\/p>\n
Something about this “Server Monetisation”. Basically, getting people to contribute to server costs, which is OK in my book. Heard server hosting prices can be quite high. I read something about this on the MRT’s main site (curious what’s been going on).<\/p>\n
But on the main page of the Minecraft Forums, I’m reading something about that Mojang is making a change to their EULA that takes effect on August 1st, that “affects all servers and players”. Which, you know, kind of worries me, since I have a private Bukkit server for TrainCarts for the W2TS.<\/p>\n
I’m hearing pretty scary rumors, that Mojang is going to make it where if you join any server, you have to pay real money<\/strong>. Surely that’s not<\/em> going to happen, and they’ll make this an optional<\/strong> thing. I mean, why would they even care to do that? As you can see, I am very<\/strong> confused here! And a bit ‘…’. Who… Why… What the hell<\/strong> has been going on with Minecraft?! I stop playing four months, and shit is hitting the fan. Also hearing this is going to cause large servers to shut down. EDIT: So, I got my answer, and.. it’s not good. It’s concerning for the MRT, and I see why they’re worried about it. Basically, on August 1st, servers will not be allowed to have their own forms of optionally getting people to pay for stuff like ranks (in my case, to get the \/me command back).

\nAnd the answer, something about Mojang worrying that other people are making a profit off of their game. Um…what? Who? Who is?<\/p>\n
\nI’m not sure if I should be worried or not. Maybe, if I ever did come back to the MRT. But, my own server? Surely, they aren’t going to make me pay to join my own damn server.<\/p>\n
\nWithout supporters, Frumple may or may not eventually be able to afford the server anymore. At this time, I don’t wish to give my opinion on what should<\/em> happen, as I have already done that in countless rant posts in here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
