Hello.

I want to publicly apologize for the harshness of my message regarding the short notice removal of the backpacks.
Thank you for the swift resolve of the backpack situation.
To shop will show my appreciation for the handling of this matter as a clean non purchase donation.

Regards

So, I played it at home on my gaming desktop, works much better but still has lag really big lag.
I don't know how it would run with a full server if it would run on a full server.
My advice just give it some time because plenty of features to be are not implemented yet and those might overload the game even more.

What the hell is "Rate me"

I wouldn't play it, not yet anyway. Looks really good but not up for putting that sorta money for an early access game.

@Adam If you read the topic the answer is no, as this is to discuss if we should get one.

Jamie it's true that the game is buggy but it is a dream came true. Like having Minecraft as idea combined with Farcry as design.

gonna buy it, but do you guys have the official SFT server or what?

I'm curious do you only read the titles of topics or what?

Maybe you should have placed the question mark at the end of the title in red.

    Well to be honest I only played at my office, my desktop is brand new but it's a office computer not a gaming computer. Internet connection is at 20mb/s guaranteed up/down and I played on one of their official servers with a decent ping and only 5 players online so this shouldn't have been an issue.
     Will try it at home on my gaming desktop to see if I was not "fit" enough here in the office and I'll let you know the outcome.

Bought it, played it, on official server this is laggy as hell.
Still full of bugs but it has great potential, however you will need a serious server to host something of that sort.
At the basis this game has Minecraft written all over it only the engine and graphics are totally different.

...

Plot twist: Maybe Quic is an independent adult that has a job that allows him to spend large quantities of money on recreational activities.

Happens to the best of us...

 Donated something.

   Depreciating a 2,5 bil. investment in the condition that the title already had huge sales and how many licenses were purchased (not a huge future in selling more of those) they will have to put behind this a really strong financial policy in order to turn this around into profit.
  However you look at it we will have to pay at a point otherwise the purchase makes no sense.

  Maybe they will make it a "license fee" business style and will kill this new EULA and only charge servers for the donations they get.

Well to be honest "Advertise" would be an awesome item if implemented.
Have in the shop the standard text length and the system to broadcast 1 time per hour, or every 2 hours all messages from all players 1 after the other. You can have it for 1 week or one month.

I would personally get this to Broadcast 2-3 things.
Of corse the text itself would have to be checked by staff before being set loose.

Can't really add this because 1) it can't get automated 2) it can get spammy if we do it per hour. Only way this could work is if you'd buy an one time advertisement and we already have "advertise your shop"

If you make this a 10 EUR/week/message even if placed on a 2 hours broadcast I don't think people will fight to the death to buy it. You have a automatic broadcast (W2 will be reset in August).

    Well, I certainly won't stop playing but what I can tell you that my 10 years old son who's also playing on SFT and his buddies already migrated, as they are not hardcore players and they seem to be drawn towards new shiny things they simply left.
   All in all I would say that the server will not loose to many donating players but it will certainly loose voting players.

I'm going to try to keep my son away from the computer as much as I can (I will fail in a epic way).
Still I'm going to be around and donate a bit.

I think the EULA will be changed anyway, you can never stop the power of the people

It will not, the EULA has never changed, it has only been taken loosely in the past. Though people may have power...

1. They are not as strong as their entertainment provider - Mojang
2. A portion of them already started playing Realms

Mojang owns the game, they are going for the money, they barely care about their fans. Even if we were to go against it, at the end of the day, they control the game.

This is reality, and in reality, most people are selfish, power-hungry, craving for money. They do not even care if you hold some protest... Mojang was DDoSed because of this EULA, nothing happened, the EULA was not changed, but the people wasted a ton of their efforts. Notch made a clear point, we cannot charge for their game. Though this may sound harsh, he's got the right to say so. Reality is harsh, and truth hurts.

Though, alike all the players, I wish for SFT to be able to remain, but reality is reality, and no one can change it. If one day, Towelie does not have the power to continue supporting this community, there's nothing to be done, we cannot beg Mojang or anything. But that day won't come soon, because I believe in SFT, and I believe in Towelie. You may say that Mojang is being very mean, but all companies crave for money, do you really think your iPhone, Louis Vuitton, or Gucci are worth all that money? The truth is, everyone looks to gain more money, because with money, comes power, and with power, comes respect.

Bright, it is not quite like that. If you buy Autocad you can charge for the result of using it.
In my opinion this is a service providing server and the end users all paid already for the software.
Server is not just hosting a map.

I never said a server cannot charge players for going on... Mojang is doing this to promote Realms and Realms bring them money. I also never said a server was just a map.

All I said was Mojang is doing this out of money... And that the EULA won't change.

Sorry for being rude, but please read what I said.

You didn't get me mate.
Read it again.
What I was saying is that technically SFT is not charging for the game (we have to treat it like a software because that's what it is), SFT is generating a service with a software and is charging for various options.
To use the same example would be like Autocad not letting their customers to charge for the straight lines made in their projects because the straight line was already implemented by Autocad developers.

So basically SFT is not charging for their game (Mojang's Notch, whatever) but for some optional services.

Legally speaking it should work their way only if SFT would use the software as a franchise.
