So a lot of people have been going on about the EULA rules which mean that Mineverse won't be able to charge for ranks ( unless they stay below 1.9.2 ) as it gives the paid players an " unfair advantage ". I play minigames, infection, factions and the occasional skywars, so I'm not as badly affected. So this new thing can be quite good in a way. For example , on OPpvp there are certain enchants that only donors can get. So for the non-paying users, we're at a slight disadvantage. But if this was removed , we'd have a better chance of winning. Another good example is on infection. How is a human in full iron + diamond axe meant to stand against a full enchanted diamond zombie with enchanted diamond sword + bow. How is this fair, may I ask? Ok, you paid to get stuff that we can't get so you can beat us! What's the point in playing? But hold it right there! We all love Mineverse, its community, the friendly staff, the people we meet, the good times we have. Although the server donors may "Pay to win" , it's them who keeps the server up and running. Who pays the staff and devs? Who pays to advertise the server and get more players? Who makes Mineverse the awesome place that it is today? The donors! So Mineverse really need to reconsider how they make their money. An idea that I had was to make it so donors got the OP stuff quicker, but theirs still a high chance for non-donors to get it. (E.G in OPpvp, have it so that Donors have a higher chance of getting the better enchants ) You could just stay at 1.9.2, but eventually nobody will play as it will be outdated so much Why has Mojang decided to interfere now? Everything was alright before, why shift everything now. You already turned 1.9 , and now you're messing with US even more? I just don't get it. I see what you're attempting to do, but it's not going to work. Apart from Hypixel and Mineplex ( All ranks on Mineplex give you gems to buy kits to get perks in-game) , most servers are practically screwed. If we go to https://sessionserver.mojang.com/blockedservers , this is mojangs coded list of the servers that will be banned. about 27 of the 31 servers have been decoded (including gotpvp) , so either Mineverse hasn't been decoded or we're safe for now Well Mineverse, I wish you good luck during these heavy times. @Noobcrew @CypriotMerks , If you're reading this, good luck XD
Unless you're Hypixel, every pay2win server is having this issue, we just got to figure a way out to become less pay2win type. Some gamemodes aren't affected by this but like you said OP PvP, Infection, Skywars, and others are.
IMO there should be some way, albeit really hard, to get premium ranks for free. Maybe they could be gamemode specific, so if you pay, say, $1000 to get Sponsor rank on KitPvP, you would get it on KitPvP but not OpPvP where you would have to do something else. Of course to be proportional to the hard currency costs the in-game currency prices would have to be high.
I don't mean to be depressing, but there is a good chance this server will die. The owners might demolish the donation system, but there's a good chance a lot of people will quit because of that. :P
There's no need to be worried about Mineverse as of now. I personally do not agree with this whole idea. Whoever decided that they needed to stop individual servers from profiting; they should've decided to enforce that before allowing the ability to make public servers. People have a business set up using buy craft, just like Mineverse. Just because the creators of minecraft are tired of getting angry emails from parents "my son bought a $200 rank on here", doesn't mean they get to do this. Minecraft creators, you brought this upon yourself.
If it's done gradually the server will probably not die. And as I said before, making it possible somehow for newer players to earn the ranks (it will take lots of work, yes, but it would be do-able) for in-game currency would make stuff work to some degree, whereas everyone with a rank would be able to keep it.
Even though I payed 250$+ for my ranks. I wouldn't be upset if they just removed the insanely OP perks that all the ranks get.
I very highly doubt that that's actually part of the cause, but seriously if it is the parents need to actually watch their credit card accounts.
You won't lose any if your perks, kits or anything like that. It's only for people who donate for the server after the server has complied with the EULA.
Talking about how it's the kit that makes the player but one of the best players with armour better than the kits got quick dropped twice by a gal with kit starter.
