User Description:
The fact that Minecraft users have the ability to run their own servers has always been an edged sword, a small, low-res sword, yes, but a sharp one on both sides. These servers allow users to do almost anything they like and that's great. However, there are times when they violate the rules of the EULA and can put Mojang in serious trouble. "Some privately-owned Minecraft servers do charge for in-game items, such as the xp boost, or access to specific game modes. Some of them even charge quite a bit," Minecraft creator Markus "Notch" Persson wrote in an article on his blog yesterday. EXTREME CRAFT "I do not know how many emails I have received from parents who want their money back, which was a hundred dollars that their child paid for an item package on a server that we do not control." To guard against such accusations in the future, Mojang has created new rules for monetization. The rules have been detailed on Mojang's site However, what they are essentially saying is fewer restrictions on making and selling in-game products as well as other monetized items. Just make sure to communicate with your customers that you aren't Mojang, don't sell items that affect gameplay and don't charge real money for in-game money. Oh, and one last thing, a direct message from Persson: "Herobrine is not real please stop asking." [Image: Mojang]
