[QUOTE="Savallusion, post: 290260, member: 470"] Exactly. Unfortunately the community needs to find a way around the EULA to manage filling up donation packs to get their servers to run. I too have a server, which is public and currently paid out of my own pocket (fortunately I have a friend chipping in as well), and without a job I can't manage to pay it myself. I understand well why Mojang just now enforces their rules, as their intentions were not to let people make money out of their invention, but to create a good community. Unfortunately they're also crushing essential things within their community by doing such. Some comments on the entire matter have been "haha, get a job. Then you'll be able to pay for your server!". What those people never keep in mind, is that it's not easy to get a job, and especially not one if your server's big enough to cost you over $200 a week, or even daily, as some servers might do. It's not hard making enough money to run small servers, but we all know that spending money on a public server isn't very fun unless the server community chips in from time to time as well.

Sorry if my summarizing wasn't good. I didn't intend to make this an article. Just to get out the essential issues with their sudden enforcement of their EULA.
