    Hey guys,

    Minetime's webstore is currently disabled and will remain disabled until further notice. Please don't panic -- we are working towards EULA compliance and should have things sorted out soon. We realize that disabling our webstore is abnormal, but it has become apparent to us that the consequences of not following the EULA will likely be extreme and could end up damaging Minetime.

    Although we denounce Mojang's EULA enforcement, we will do what we have to do to make sure that Minetime continues to run smoothly. We have been working towards EULA compliance since Mojang's blog post on server monetization.

    We don't have an ETA on when our store will return. It could come back up in just a couple days depending on how fast we can roll out these changes but it could also very well be a week or longer.

    We're also happy to announce that Minetime's upcoming secret project is 100% EULA-compliant and is coming up very soon!

    Thanks for your patience! We'll be having a 25% off sale when our webstore returns. :)

    Sounds good, I can't wait for the secret project! Too bad I'm already the highest donator rank, I can't really buy much anymore :p

    Thanks for the update, but I was wondering if there was any rumor flying around about if current ranks and perks would be kept under the EULA changes?

    Any information that we're disclosing at this point, which is all we know to be honest, is in top post.

    An end user license agreement (EULA) is a legal contract between a software developer or vendor and the user of the software. It specifies in detail the rights and restrictions that apply to the software.

    So minetime has to apply with some mojang rules? Probably because minetime makes profit from mojang's work maybe?

    You should not talk about that, what collin did was simply a smart investment, and it worked, you should try for yourself and see what happens, it's also fun to own a server, I just read an article about EULA, it's basically a plan to kill multiplayer servers hahaha, but I think it won't work because realms are such a fail, minetime will survive <3

    Question: Do we get to keep all our donor perks since they might affect gameplay? @CollinPotato
