Minecraft Realms opens up to bring Mojang servers worldwide

4.8

Mojang's new subscription service that hosts and sets up multiplayer servers for Minecraft is available now worldwide. Minecraft Realms launched in North America last month for PC and Mac, and this week Mojang expanded it globally - no forgotten realms, then. In the UK, for example, one month's subscription sets you back eight of Her Maj's pounds sterling.

In North America the asking price is $13 per month, although there are discounts on three and six-month subscriptions. The service includes an automatic backup feature if you want to rip up creations and start anew, and Mojang also promises minigames and exclusive events. If you fancy inviting pals to join you in your new virtual pad, be advised a Minecraft Realms world allows up to 10 players at a single time.

TankAurora Nice its $13 a month! http://gyazo.com/a464277211d6feec6ee2aea4169958f3

Yeah, it sounds like it's a good deal to me. Also, there's discounts if you buy the three or six month subscription which will be nice.

OG9 I'm not quite sure what the realms even is. It's been an option on iOS Minecraft for quite some time, even though it never worked. I probably will not be buying this for PC Minecraft.

I think if you were to read the entire article and not just try to post whore then you would have found out. It is "Mojang's new subscription service that hosts and sets up multiplayer servers for Minecraft." Read it next time.

As long as they stay true to their word, then I think the service will do great.
