    Hey Minetimers,

    We've decided to leave Minetime's webstore up while we work towards EULA compliance. It seems that disabling our webstore was fairly pointless as you guys still found a way to purchase ranks by using our webstore's direct URLs. :confused:

    We want to give everyone a chance to buy a rank before we change our ranks' perks (although we might not be ready to actually change them for a while). If you buy a rank before we change our ranks' perks to be EULA-compliant, you will still have everything you paid for even after our ranks are changed. The rank changes will only apply to new customers. We are currently deciding which EULA-compliant rank perks we will use. We'll be implementing some much cooler things than just pets and particle packs. ;)

    Aside from just cosmetic perks that are naturally EULA-compliant, we're also going to be implementing perks that are not naturally EULA-compliant in an EULA-complaint way. Example: someone buys a $10 package to give everyone on the prison server access to /fix for 5 minutes.

    You don't have to worry about whether or not Minetime will struggle because of this. The eventual changing of our ranks' perks may initially decrease Minetime's revenue, but we expect the majority of our revenue to eventually come from our special project (which is not affected by the EULA).

    Speaking of the special project, it is almost ready for release after 5 months in the making. Trent and his team are currently working out its last few kinks and it will be ready for the Minetime beta testing team shortly.

    The 25%-off rank sale (mentioned in last announcement) will be active through Friday, and will end Saturday morning at 12:00am CST. Thanks Minetimers!

    Thanks so much Collin! :D Also, I have a question. So the current donators keep their origonal perks & the new donators recieve new ones? Also, will the old donators get the old perks AND the new EULA - Compliant ones? :D

    As stated in the original post, current donators will keep their original perks. And yes, they will also receive the perks of the new, EULA-compliant ranks.

    Is the beta test team the staff, or the old team from the forums?

    Thanks for the information Collin. Much appreciated. I just have a question. How long is "shortly" when you said they are releasing it to the beta team?
