  5. For half the price they seem to intend charging, you can get a Bukkit server with enough RAM to hold at least 6 people, that needs next to no setup except paying and pressing the ON button on Multicraft...

  6. Like I was saying before, the host that I went through charges $1.19/slot per month. 4 slots is only about $4.76/month and you can make it private and whitelist it and everything.. Realms seems to want to charge 2x-3x that.. <,< ..And sadly they will probably have similar server specs..

  7. I think Mojang have more than realised that, they are just replied to the right audience.
    The audience which doesn't/can't/want to be bothered with servers specs and the like.
    Appealing to the right audience is the way to go.

  11. Its just to set up a server through Mojang. If you want them to, they can become Roblox, and add a bunch of features into the game, and then add new "levels" of Minecrafters that you can buy to use them.

  14. Mojang hasn't went over to the dark side, apart from a few things here and there, it's perfectly fine.

  17. Where does it say that it will be 4 player max?
    4 is not enough, my family alone would need 8 :)
    I think $2-$3 per player and month for a matrix of professionally
    maintained and connected servers / worlds is not too much.

  18. "new map packs" come with known bug fixes basically you are paying for an early update
