Hey Guys! (yes I'm still alive ;)
Some of you might have heard of the new EULA (End User Licence Agreement) changes that are coming, links will be provided to the official mojang statements. Putting hat assside though, i was wondering how you guys feel? The new EULA is a good thing for some, but devastating for others, and don't worry, World of Minecraft shouldn't be effected! The new EULA basically states that servers cannot sell game changing item, only things that make you look cool. This will impact large mingame servers, and other large servers. This could be good for World of Minecraft though! With other servers unable to provide the content they are currently providing, more people will be looking for an excelent server like us!
So, with all that provided, I want to know what you think? Do you like the changes? Do you hate them? Do you think they are close but almost missing the perfect balance?
Thanks for reading!

P.S. I'll try to be on more, just been busy with life, and the new job i got.
It used to be more strict, what i want to know is if people care :)
Good. I always thought that servers that charged people for in game perks were a bit silly. Maybe it'll make some more people come here.
Thats what i was thinking :D
No more lame VIP access restricitons on other servers!
Finally those VIPs aren't that OP and such with their "VIP kits" and such. (e.g. regular players can only get up to leather armor kits, while VIPs can get iron armor. Get it?) I played on one of these servers before, and it was nearly impossible to win of the VIPs >_> its like you "pay" to win.
If I could, I'd make a list of every Minecraft server that has OP VIPs.
But on the other hand, I don't really think it's a good idea. Most of the servers have VIP things, and this will really screw up almost every server map, and many have to rewrite scripts and codes.
Some people with big servers have their Minecraft server as their JOB and rely on donations to keep their server up and themselves alive. It's also a bad idea because Minecraft will become less popular because there won't be any bigger servers anymore.
These changes will make it harder for bigger servers to operate, and drive more players towards smaller servers not equipped to handle them. Not that great of an idea.
The amount of crap servers only popular due to some lame large youtuber promoting them is too dam high and I sadly doubt any eula changes will stop it.

It doesn't affect us. I don't really care.
Also, there were no changes, those rules have been there for a while now. Mojang simply decided to remind everyone about it.
