The future of MyM is vague

So yeah, I'm not literally saying let people buy flight items. Mym has always been sort of strong armed about anything outside of first tier items even within the player markets. But my point was that anything offered through the hard currency portal would also be available through some sort of in game achievement or soft currency purchase gained through various in game branches.
In which case people with jobs and less time to grind would pay the $20 to get to the 'gold' level, where the high school kids on spring break would just grind away for two weeks to get to that same spot without paying anything...I don't think you can gate anything behind paying ranks because that's the exact condition that violates the EULA...

 

I think you'll find the adults with jobs will be grinding instead of paying also. Most people only purchased the rank for access to the items that were otherwise not available.

 

There was very little available through ranks that wasn't relatively simple to replicate with mods in most MyM packs, /god is the only donor perk I can think of offhand that isn't quite easily recreated.

 

@Ubidibity sadly what you suggest is against the EULA. Thank you but stop looking for loopholes. We need a stead way to have income with the threat of that loophole closing.

Personally, I'd be willing to sponser a pack on the network for MyM.

 

While players come here for many different play reasons! be it building or for modded game play I cant say I would stick around for any Minecraft if losing out on what my cash has gotten me in perks. Cant say I like the idea of starting a pack with no "fly" or cant go anywhere I want and feel like a "god".

While I have been here for a long time and can say 100% I have gotten my 80 bucks of game play from the network it would not be a big hit to myself because as they say all good things must come to an end.

I wish the network best of luck in this battle and hope some arrangement can be worked out. As a Player this pisses me of as its not needed I think in some way they are just mad that modded is a bigger hit than the base game I also wonder why they are even going after modded servers we're just using the engine. But it is there product and moaning about it will not change how they want there product to move forward.

 

I agree, I would sponsor my own server on the MYM network of my pack of choosing.

 

/god is Drac Evo and Avaritia armor.

 

I wouldn't say Mod packs have become a bigger hit than the main game unless when you speak mods you also are including all mini game servers, factions ect ect, but I would say the sales of Minecraft the core game have more or less leveled off, at this point Microsoft's goal is to get people buying into their Realms servers, and those new shaders they plan to micro-transaction on.

I do feel also that without God mod and fly it would really suck, I play more for mining, making machines and cool stuff, then I do trying to survive starvation and mobs.

 

Not realms.

Is that what they're calling it these days? Sounds so Liberal. Almost makes you want to hug a tree.

 

It's the unified Minecraft edition (everything except Java and Play Station). Requieres an Xbox account and from what I know it costs 1/3rd of what the Java edition costs, but there are microtransactions. A lot of microtransactions. You have to pay for skins, resourcepacks and maps. Mod and shader microtransactions will also be added info future updates. But hey, it's mUlTiPlAtFoRm and you get it for fReE if you already own the Java edition (sounds familiar?).

 

Hypixel has the loophole feature of their network to have gameplay be defined as minigames. Because of this, they use all crates (even if they unlock kits) to be fully cosmetic as it does not directly interact with the network's idea. Its hard to explain, but I hope you get the idea. Hypixel is FOR SURE getting some sort of favoritism.

 

I'd just look into how bad is this blacklist. Because if it's not being able to play whatever comes after 1.12 then Microsoft can keep it. I'm playing a 1.7.10 pack - that version was released in 2014. I honestly do not know nor care what the new MC versions bring. I heard there are ponies. Or maybe zebras. Upside down slopes? WHO CARES WE CAN SHOOT FIREBALLS AND RIP SPACE-TIME CONTINUUM!

On a more serious note, we're here for modded gameplay. Modding community moves through versions very slowly. They don't enjoy rewriting their mods for everytime vanilla Minecraft gets a new upside down zebra slope. Which means even if MYM access to new versions stops now, that wouldn't be felt until 3-5 years into the future - as opposed to the suicide by cosmetics.

So - how bad is the blacklist?

 

Dammit... I love this server. I know this post isnt useful but Im still gonna post so you can see my support.

 

What I don't understand about the complaint is the unfair so so between players. Like as far as I can tell none of the servers really have pvp. So how can it be unfair to other players if there is no pvp?

 

Read some of the replies to this thread; that topic has already been discussed in depth

 

I chuckle a little when i watched this.. oh the irony of "no soft currency"

 

Glad you asked Paplaukes! It is as easy as 1, 2, 3...

1. Server is Blacklisted through Minecraft.
   • Nobody can connect with that version of minecraft going forward.
   • So if it happened today, that would be 1.12.x
   • Most major vote sites drop the network due to it being blacklisted.
2. Blacklist is integrated into both Forge & the server side software Sponge.
   • Any release going forwards is stopped from connecting to the server.
   • Any release for previous versions is stopped from connecting to the server.
   • Servers plugins will not run as they are on a blacklisted server.
   • This would be 1.11.x and up.
3. And then...
   • No packs past 1.10.2
   • No more new players

Keep in mind...

• Most mods are either on 1.12, 1.10, or headed that way
• Mods still exist for 1.7.10, but no new updates or support
• So bugs that exist in the 1.7.10 packs will never be fixed

As players leave the network for other servers with the modern modpacks, the network dies as there are fewer new players comming in.
