    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.

      Read the EULA agreement to mojang first though Mojang is trying to protect their
      game(Minecraft) the things that you must not do or the major rules are:
      • give copies of our Game to anyone else;
      • make commercial use of anything we've made;
      • try to make money from anything we've made; or
      • let other people get access to anything we've made in a way that is unfair or unreasonable;
      Well if your gonna go contact _Jeb or Mojang well that'll be hard to get to have an agreement since Mojang does'nt allow users to make a business out of using minecraft (except on gaming and youtuber purposes) Thebest excuse that I can think off is telling Mojang that the staff members,developers and owners(aXed) will lose their jobs and that will waste the money of those people who brought those expensive ranks and boosts in anni.I might be just a 12 year old but I can think very well so that's my opinion of an excuse for mojang to try to remove some of the EULA agreements they had.

      Period.

      Wow vModz don't you even care of the people who made this server,helped on it's innovation and the people who loved playing on here like me who just plays here more often that on those premium servers that I can join(not gonna tell any of them).Guildcraft made people have some friends just like the other servers and this has some of the best games that many Guildcrafters wanted to play like Annihilation or Skyblock so why want Guildcraft to die.

      Period.

      I dont think its like that, the store will be changed and hes trying to get the best of the perfectly fine store we have now, he is not "giving away /gm 1" because they still cost money (just 50% off) and none of the rankes are THAT op to be classified as /gm 1, and the 50% sale will probally make more money than regular prices, because it is more affordable to a variety of players, meaning more people will buy things, rather than a small ammount buying expensive items, a wider variety/ammount of people will buy them, meaning if 2x the people or more buy what a regular ammount of people would buy with the regular prices, that will create more income, and also, its not like there will be alot of people buying 1 dollar crate keys, people will buy 40 dollar ranks now, so to me, it will ither not make a difference, or be better for aXed/guildcraft (but i do not support why mojang is doing this, im 99% sure why they are doing it, but i do not support it)

      say you purchased the Legend rank before the shop is changed, and when the shop changes there is a new rank tnhat comes out called "Goul" or "zombie" or whatever, you will have both rankes, and keep the perks of your "old" rank. hope that helped

      The ranks and perks changing?
      Why doesn't Mojang like Pay-to-win servers?
      No wonder Mineplex changed into a pile of trash.

      I hate capitalism.
      Eversince Microsoft bought Mojang Minecraft have only gotten worse. I think there is no reason to do this, they don´t understand the "Donation" thing.

      Lol your fault. Don't say mojang is too strict. You knew about the anti p2w rule yet went through with it. Your fault, Not theirs. Well deserved. No offense, though. Karma can be a real bitch ;)
