    Dear community,

    Mojang (The creator of Minecraft) has started to enforce the EULA. Many Minecraft Servers including GuildCraft have received emails about this.

    What is the EULA?
    The EULA is a list of rules we automatically accept when starting a server. These rules state that we may not sell items or perks which improves the game-play for the buyer. You can read all about it here: https://account.mojang.com/documents/minecraft_eula

    What does this mean for GuildCraft?
    This morning I heard that we're added to a blacklist for the up-coming 1.9.3 update. The blacklist is only active on that version so do not update to 1.9.3 yet. 1.8.* and 1.9.1/2 are perfectly fine for now.

    We are currently in contact with Mojang in order to get us of that blacklist. That means we will have to change our store to comply with the EULA. We're hoping to receive a new date on which we have to comply so that we can prepare new purchase options. So yes we will comply with the EULA.

    What changes?
    We will no longer sell the current ranks and most perks in the future, there will be a new set of ranks and perks which will be EULA compliant.

    Ranks and perks purchases before this will not be removed. You will keep all current non-eula compliant perks. The old ranks will become so called "Legacy Ranks".

    There will be a 50% sale until we release the new set of ranks and perks.

    FAQ

    Will I lose anything I've bought?
    No, you will keep your rank and perks. The current ranks will simply be no longer available at the store but you will keep it if you already bought it. All the perks will also stay.

    When will the new ranks be released?
    This is currently unknown since we're in contact with Mojang in attempt to get a new date on which we have to be compliant.

    What can we expect?
    The newest ranks will have perks for chat related content, particles, hats, companions, pets and anything possible within the EULA. I do hope they will give us more breathing space since these perks are quite limited. And I'm afraid we will have to start advertising on the website and in-game. Feel free to post your ideas for ranks and perks but do read the EULA first.

      This explains the NO CRACKED ACCOUNTS to access our servers.

      Therefore, if you comply with and follow the Brand and Asset Usage Guidelines and Naming Guidelines above YOU MAY:

      • charge for access to your server, including a server which hosts your Mods, BUT only if:
        • you make a single charge per person that is the same for everyone;
        • you give everyone you charge, access to all the Mods that you choose to have on your server (except only in respect of genuine admin tools / admin Mods which should be reserved to administrators);

        • you only give access to your server to users who have a genuine paid for version of Minecraft;
        • you own or control the server and continue to do so for the whole time that you charge for access to it - so, if you sell the actual servers or server space with Mods pre-installed on them, you must ensure that the person buying the server is aware that she must follow these rules. Essentially you can't get round the rules above by setting up servers with Mods on and then selling those set-ups; and
        • overall your access charges should be targeted to cover your operational costs of running the server.

      @CMCONCEPTS I'm sure your intentions are good and honest, but lets think about my health as well and don't cause me headaches, thanks in advance.

      THANK YOU ASY!

      I have posted everything Mojang gave us to use to make money on our servers.
      Players need to know GC will be here for a long time, we are not going anywhere.

      The issue was about CRACKED servers as players believe admins who say they will be able to use cracked accounts.

      I will continue to spend my money and time on GC
      And I want players to know there will be no more cracked servers as Mojang has done away with those.

      Truth should always come 1st!

      It must be a premium server only if you charge people to access. As long as it's free to play, it can be cracked.

      Read ur own quote, we do not charge players to access our servers so therefore all these rules stated in your quote do not apply to our server.
      If people pay to access our servers they may only join with premium.

      Oh, then we have the distribute part. We Guildcraft do not distribute any launcher.


      The only part that we do not fulfill is the donation part so far, so again read first before you causes headaches.

      Now for anyone who is gonna cause headaches I highly recommend you don't as no one likes headaches.

      Their support takes average reply time 2/3 weeks, when you have a message back this whole drama will be over. Simply read your own quote and don't be so ignorant.

      Yes of course.
      It would be 2 seperate ranks but of course you will be able to have an 'old rank' and a 'new rank'
