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.
