The future of MyM is vague

Yup, this is why they give players "x keys a day". So everyone can get them free. but you can buy more.

 

How would you get around people having alts and abusing keys.

 

People buy a $20 account to get more keys?
Not sure i call that abusing keys.

 

So you're talking about a subscription based server.

 

I think it might be that a Minecraft account costs around $20.

 

alts are cheap if you get them cracked.

 

A bit off topic, but all of the cheap alts come from theft. So you are buying from a fence or thief, or if you sell them somewhere else, you are the fence.

Back to the toppic:
Abuse of the system is eliminated by not allowing trading of currency between users.

 

Call it whatever you want, Alts are a reality end of story.

As for the other issue, those alts can simply just use the currency to purchase items and just give them to their other alt, and once again were back on the issue of currency for cash so you need to rewind yourself.

 

Fortunately or unfortunately $$$ makes the world go round. Even not for profit orgs like mym have to pay for themselves.

 

Here is a random idea:

They prohibit selling soft currency for hard currency. They prohibit selling non-cosmetic command or items for hard currency. They prohibit selling individual boosters.

But they don't prohibit selling said command or item for soft currency that can only be earned in-game. They don't prohibit selling server-side boosters that effect everyone on the server for hard currency.

So let's sell our perks and starter kits for soft currency, for a high price that you can hardly buy any without a booster. Let's then sell the server-side booster that need to be activated manually in game, and when activated, only last a short time but provide a high multiplier to the soft currency earning. Only performing a certain task can make the multiplier to work. This way, the buyer will always get the benefits, and anyone else on the server at the same time can get some benefits if they are keen enough to notice the booster and perform the task in time, and those who are offline won't get any benefit.

This doesn't break the EULA in any way, but I got to admit this might be too complicated that it may confuse some people.

 

I like this idea. Almost like events in games such as Warframe.

 

That's actually a really good idea imo, and would work as a great kits workaround. It unfortunately doesn't really solve the problems with ranks though, but I guess something similar could be applied.
The only thing I'd change is the 'certain task' thing, which could be removed. Instead, it could just be completely unannounced, meaning only the donor knows about the sudden multiplier.

 

Ha good luck, why would they spend their time doing this?

 

Does MYM have the resources to run other games which can be more easily monetised, to offset the cost?

 

@mrminesheeps Just remember that you are not representative of MyM if you do get in contact with them

 

What if you use that old thing (i don't know if it can be done now, or it's still up )where you had vanilla like lobby server with doors to other modded servers, and you could connect through there.

 

Just remember when the changes come, and you have to pay to play, it was Mojangrosoft that is putting the barrier between you and the best modded servers.
