Protest Against Eula

[KrustyKrab]

Dear Whom Ever This May Concern,
Today I have decided I will no longer comply to Mojang's ridiculous rules and follow this EULA. I feel if a person would like to spend their money on a server they should be able too, so if you agree check out https://twitter.com/DonutsCrew and comment your opinion. Mojang can't deny the protest if enough people agree . Like the tweet if you agree, and make sure to comment!
Thank you for putting aside the time read this.
Sincerely,
DonutsCrew.

Seems you just want users to comment and like your Twitter page...

I mostly want them to comment, I don't care about likes...

Explain the EULA, im confused.

The EULA is being enforced as of 1.9, Mojang now clearly stated they will be shutting down servers who deny to comply. They told Hypixel and PrimeMC (etc) they must change and clearly they did. They're breaking down on any server reported of not following the EULA, and telling them they need to remove the prohibited things. Sorry if I didn't explain it %100, but I have to go to dinner.
Sincerely,

What are the prohibited things

As clearly stated in the EULA, Mojang is enforcing that servers can only give cosmetics, which in my opinion is very unfair due to the factor that people won't donate without rewards . Mojang is clearly just trying to get players to come over to realms, which I noticed when they didn't start the EULA until realms came out... They're trying to make themselves more money. Correct me if i'm wrong, and i'm sorry if you disagree with me.
Sincerely,

My opinion is that giving tweets, hits, spits, protests, won't change anything, But start drama so I won't bother.

I didn't really know how to start, I noticed that twitter is where Mojang merely is most of the time, but I also didn't find it a very good way to get their attention... I will however be looking for a better way, but yes actually I contacted mojang support and they told me that i'd need alot of people agreeing in order to have the eula changed. Do to the factor twitter as a pretty good place to start, and possibley get Mojang's attention I was happy to try . You don't have to do anything, but if you are a server owner and don't feel like having Mojang take away what helps your server run then you should help out the protest .

I can make a petition for you on change.org so you can have protesters sign the letter...

You should do that . I really want this to happen, every server owner I know is freaking out and getting mad at Mojang so I figured it's time for change .

Alright, I'll make one

Thank you.

You won't have enough people to carry this out unless Youtubers or popular servers initiate it, and even then it's risky. Any Youtuber or server that promotes "fighting the EULA" will come across and greedy and money-driven, so they will most likely just silently agree, or be passive aggressive about it.

10,000 signatures wouldn't be enough for Mojang to even look at it (the most popular servers have double that at any given point, many times more). It's optimistic to try and "fight the power", but it's pointless. Most players (who are non-ranked on their favorite servers) enjoy the EULA push (they can't be overpowered by players with deep pockets).

It's a nice gesture to try and help your friends, just don't get too wrapped up in it! The chances of this working are too few and far between.

I was actually refering to admins, and owners all around, but I got the idea from an admin on mineplex. I chatted with an Admin on Mineplex who was quite nice to be honest, which is surprising due to mineplex staff never responding, but he told me about how the Eula wants them to change and it would defeat the purpose of mineplex... It was about a month ago I believe... I thought to my self though, if this admin on mineplex wants the Eula gone much more people much so I mean might as well try

Yeah, I understand it's just that it makes Mojang more greedy and trying so hard to force people to buy Realms

That's also a very good point though, Mojang dosen't seem like they have one care for minecraft servers and they're enforcing people to stop selling stuff though they are selling access to realms?

'Tis capitalism my friend. Once your [company is] big and rich you can pull puppet strings and your customers gotta dance or leave. And, due to the inherent laziness and disliking of change many people (including myself) choose the first.


You can definitely try! Just be warned, I'll go out on a limb to say many large servers (ones that have enough reach to make any sort of impact) aren't going to actively show their opinions. Sure, they may throw a passive aggressive dig at Mojang in a tweet, but all-in-all every server is going to agree. Regardless, good luck!

Thank you, but you seem very good at writing... Any chance you could help me out here? I'm terrible at writing long convincing things...
Sincerely,
