Y U NO accept non-premium users?

[KuroZen15]

ehh, I wanna join the server, but I'm a non-premium user/ a user using a cracked minecraft. so, you guys are not accepting non-premium users on your server?

[Kristia]

well.. minecraft has its issues with cracked players, the best thing to actually play is to buy the game, thats my opinion

[Tenko]

We cannot accept cracked players because of the following reasons:
1: Security concerns.
2: Bukkit will not provide support for offline-mode servers.
3: Minecraft is a game that you should buy.
4: Though Notch said that piracy isn't necessarily bad, it's still bad practice to do so.

What Tenko said.

[Sodamachine]

its a cheap game.

Y U NO Get the real game?

[Remilia Scarlet]

Security issues. I've seen(and have made) many servers die from being a cracked server. Griefing can run rampant and any banned user can relogin with a proxy and new name. User authentication via password is an option, but causes a great deal of inconvenience for the premium users, something they(we) shouldn't have to go through.

Minecraft is only around $25. If you can't afford that... Well, yeah.

Well, there are players (like me) who live in places without a shop to buy the game via gift cards, and there´s the thing with credit cards, not everyone has a credit card to buy it via internet

[Ibuki Suika]

Almost all grocery stores have prepaid debit cards in their gift card section.

*Got Minecraft when it was 20% cheaper.

thats the thing, where I live, I haven´t found one yet, I´ll take a closer look when I go to buy groceries next time

[Tewi_Inaba]

I'm just saying... i'm 15 and i've bought 3 minecraft accounts with money i erned dowing yard work, babysitting ect. you really have no excuse not to buy the game. i mean it's not like other MMO games where you pay a mounthly fee. You pay for minecraft once... unless your nice like me and buy accounts for other people

[WriggleRid3r]

^True Pimp. I gotta make a psd with Tewi as Macklemore.

Money is not always the issue you know, I dont know how hard it is to find the gift cards in some places, but some people actually do not have access to credit cards (i only got my credit card when i was 17).
So there is completely valid excuses for not being able to get the game.
