Ethical Monetization Policy

Predatory Monetization

This includes:

  • Gambling mechanics
  • Dark patterns (ex. making it difficult to cancel a subscription)
  • Hidden costs
  • Fake sales

Gambling mechanics can lead to addiction. Dark patterns and fake sales are just dishonest.

This is a red line we will not cross. What you buy is what you get.

Pay-to-Win

Pay-to-win, on a personal level, makes a game distasteful to play. But in the case of Minecraft servers, it's usually necessary to be at all profitable.

There's also levels to it:

110
Different but equal abilities early if you pay$300 ranks that give you infinite Netherite and flight

This may change as the server is out longer/grows, but we think profitability requires you to sit at around a 2 or 3.
