Mojang's recent EULA and TOS change megathread

OzzyKP

People buy experience?

Can you do a big promotion for people to buy homes/money/etc now before the EULA kicks in?  Last chance!  Get it before its gone!  Buy now!

Quote from Notch
QuoteSomeone saw that the EULA says you can't charge for these things, and asked one of the people working at Mojang about it. That person said that yes, it is indeed against the rules, and then everything exploded. A lot of people got the impression that we're changing the EULA somehow to only now disallow these things, but they were never allowed.

Edit: Nevermind this is from mojang
QuoteDo server hosts have a grace period to implement changes to their servers?
Yes. All servers must comply with the EULA by August 1st, 2014.


Also in response to the discussion of homes here is what mojang said:
QuoteHow should servers deal with users who have already spent hard currency on features that affect gameplay?
Users may keep the perks they've paid for on the condition that the same perks are available to other players on the server (directly or purchasable using soft currency). It's up to the server host to decide how to compensate users for previous transactions.

The fact that mojang is allowing servers 'subscription fees' but not access to "multiple plots... or ingame features" is such crap. They also stated that ranks will be allowed to be sold so long as they don't give users an advantage.

Gavin, they allow you to charge for access to your server because it's your hardware, not their game that you are charging for access.

I didn't think of that, makes sense
