As u have all seen mojang has said to make some SERIOUS changes to servers at Aug 1 2014 well there's a little operation called operation blackout click this link to find out more https://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/mojang-change-your-eula

 

To:
Mojang
Please make your EULA more clear, it's very vague at the moment. This is why the whole community is upset about this.

Thanks Mojang. Hope it'll be better in the future!
Sincerely,
SooperAwesome

 

It's not mojang's fault it's other servers who abuse their Eula by making packages like 1,000 dollars and parents sending in complaints.

 

Wow No More BuyCraft/DonationCraft=No More Mineverse Hypixel Minetime Hive MinePlex OmegaRealms Etc so MineCraft can be doomed and all servers can be shut down because of Expensives:(

 

No! Why I diden't notice that :/

 

This is a terrible new EULA.
I have read the new one on the Mojang website and just reading the basic new rules there is, sounds like it may shut Mineverse and many other servers down for good. They won't be able to earn money to pay to keep servers up. I will definitely be signing that petition when I can.

Alright, I just copy and pasted this message from MCSG, I'd make a customary quote, but this explains it so well.

"Hello Tributes,

For those of you who didn’t know, Mojang changed its End User License Agreement (EULA) with the expressed intention of preventing Minecraft communities from making money on Minecraft. Some players have been proclaiming the end of days for Minecraft, claiming that by enforcing the changes in their EULA Mojang will force communities like ours to shut their doors forever. Responses from the community have been negative so far, from ranging from a polite change.org petiton that caused a DDoS Minecraft’s main servers for 24 hours, to funny #SaveMinecraft Campaign videos. However, cooler heads have prevailed, and we’re proud to say that Minecraft will live to play another day.

Let’s make this clear: Minevers will not be affected by the Mojang EULA changes.

Let’s Allay Some Concerns.

First of all, the EULA changes are a lot more complicated than, “You're not allowed to earn money with Minecraft”. The strict-and-literal interpretation of that quote is what is causing the most fear, but Mojang acknowledges that such interpretation is far from the truth. In fact, a more proper interpretation would be, “You’re not allowed to enforce pay-to-win, encourage ludicrous prices for items, or scam players for their money”. The idea of money and profit are at the center of the Mojang EULA change, but it is primarily geared towards stopping the immoral, unfair, and illegal practices for generating profits, rather than the legitimate practices a majority of communities abide by.

To put this in perspective, we could be shut down for breaching the EULA if we did any of the following:

• Allowing users to pay $20 in order to start every game of Mineverse with a Diamond sword, while everyone else has only fists.
• Enforcing Premium-only servers ingame, so regular players could not join them without paying for a Premium rank.
• Having Platinum rank cost $10,000, the price of a used car.
• Selling an item on our webstore which promises perks, then deliver nothing in return.

Those seem like pretty extreme examples, but other communities did do such things. And as a result, the outrage that followed was enough to force Mojang to step in.

There are a lot of grey areas, though, some of which players have been keen on pointing out as involving aspects of MCGamer. However, Mojang’s recent server monetization posts on their website have been more than helpful. Here are a few of the topics that people have brought to us, and Mojang’s official response:

currency.
(Minever Note: Because flying only occurs in the Hub, which has no gameplay associated with it, it is considered purely cosmetic and thus allowed)

So basically, we’re fine. But why would Mojang do this?

Mojang has had a very complicated relationship with its subordinate communities.

On the one hand, the Minecraft gaming communities have been very beneficial to the popularity of Minecraft as a whole. Player-made mods have created a wealth of content for players to use, and the communities that spawned thereafter ensured that Minecraft would have a massive, dedicated player base. On the other hand, those same mods and communities have also created an assortment of headaches for Mojang as well. A minority of communities have taken to some rather underhanded methods of making money, including pretending to be Mojang themselves. After players have been scammed out of their money with little to no consequence, Mojang’s reputation was taking some serious hits.

Mojang has had the legal ability to change or enforce their EULA for quite some time, but they preferred to let things play out from their intervention. Since the beginning, Mojang has taken a laissez-faire approach to their growing community. However, as Minecraft grew and such illegitimate money-making with it, the headaches became too much for Mojang to bear. As such, they recently came out to take matters into their own hands.

So what now for Mineverse Network?

What needs to be done in response to this? Well, since the EULA changes did nothing to change us, we don’t need to change at all. However, those who are still wary of the future should pull out their calendars. Mojang will begin enforcing their EULA on August 1st, 2014.
