    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.

      First and most important, axed is a troll (all connotations apply) he is not a frog. Second ranks and op stuff and such are still allowed under the ula they just cant be purchased with hard currencies like euros or bitcoins, instead they will be purchased with vote coins, addview coins, and in game money.

      Axed has said kits and ranks you buy stay forever. Mojang will allow ranks purchased previously to still stand, they want two things, 1 the ability for players to earn them in game and 2 to stop selling them for hard currencies.


      @aXed I wish you would tell us that all is well, that this is really a good thing and the server will survive till the end of time, stronger than ever with the new changes and plans you have, that we will login with our grand kids and they will go 'wow you have a legacy rank' because honestly I'm scared the server will shrivel up and die with out revenue and you will shut it down in less than a year. I don't care if the ranks are 80% off its not worth buying if the server is dying.

      Also Mojangs ula requires servers to only let in players that use legitimate paid for software (ie no cracked servers) Will guild craft go legit, what happens to cracked accounts? What happens to ranks on cracked accounts? Will we be able to transfer our ranks and stuff to premium accounts? Even if the server continues there is no point in buying a rank if we can no longer login with the account those ranks are on.

      ya ture but if you want keep your games and rank rather not get shut down and all the money you spend is for nothing (unless is refundable) you have to step up and try to protest the moajag and microsoft compmany to remove it or esle both server and mojag will be in a huge situation than ever before better yet the game will no longer have a server only your self and some other people (who are far away form you)

      Mojang and microsoft don't give a crap about your protesting. They are the 400 lb gorilla and you are mice to them, worse you are earthworms, your existence does not matter and they don't care what you or I or any non compliant server owner thinks. They will do what they do and there is no changing what they do. You will comply or they will steam roll you in the courts. Sure you can spite them for a while but they will always win in the end.

      "There is no guarantee on being able to enter the server, and if the server is no longer operated the virtual items are forfeit."

      Is this new? I don't recall seeing it before. Not exactly confidence building.

      It feels like an opportune time to pump all the users for cash with the 50% off sale linger for a while and then say 'sorry had to close the server blame Microsoft'. Please @aXed convince us this is not what you are doing.

      Don't worry, selling unbannes is not against the eula.

      Tbh I don't like the EULA for certain reasons and for a split part of it, the hacker part...

      1. Donator ranks will get completely fucked up.
      2. The donor perks will be messed and mixed up as some changes will be in.
      3. Every noob will ruin the server by abusing donor perks when they buy them.

      ^
      That's the bad point I don't like...
      Below this, it's the good part I like about.

      1. Hackers who attempts to log-in with hack clients will be banned via launcher.
      2. All the servers will be up to date. (Though, I don't like 1.9+ PvP at all)
      3. Legacy ranks will be in, but it will ruin DemiGod+'s experiences.

      As I'd suggest, similar comment KinqCake has mentioned the statement to close GC stores at the moment otherwise the problem between GC and Mojang is/are solved.

      and I strongly recommend aXed to request Mojang to let the donor perks like donor /kits remain. Not necessary to change the enchantments or items in it that includes Factions, FactionsBlack, Skyblock, Skygrid and KitPvP.

      Also, cracked users will have a big question mark and some issues to solve as Guildcraft might turn into a premium server and cracked users will no longer be able to use cracked launchers as it's against the latest EULA (End User License Agreement). Probably cracked users will be forced to buy a Minecraft official account to log-in to Guildcraft. But how are they possibly afford to obtain or buy one? Let's say if they're poor, or if they're from countries such as Pakistan or Malaysia, Thailand or etc (No racism or hatred towards players/people who're viewing this)? I think this is certainly unfair and not a very good thing at all.

      At this situation, aXed will also have a big problem as the community will have a slump. Because of the cracked users' population! @aXed, sorry to say this. It's just true.

      How about we also request for one last thing from Mojang, to allow cracked servers? Most people are premium, but they're also 1/4 of the Minecraft community from cracked servers! So just imagine the vast netizen population lost in Minecraft.

      This is just a suggestion/recommendation, don't take it too seriously!

      @aXed
      There are two options for you -
      As Ssundee said, stick with 1.9.2 and keep what you are doing. I'm sure Mojang will change some rule, because many more servers are blacklisted so obviously they will do something.

      Or you can completely close the current Guildcraft store and upgrade all donators to particle effect, chat names, etc according to money they donated. Start advertising as that is also a good way to make money and I know that it takes a lot of expenses to run a big server and I'm sure advertising can make profit if done smartly.

      I will also suggest you to make a Guildcraft official YouTube channel like many big youtubers who own a server like Preston. YouTube can pay you good.

      I hope this gets resolved.
