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.

Just another way to make obey, but I don't think it will be as popular as they think.

-Tupac Slightly overpriced i think.


It's not really. It's dedicated servers managed 24/7 by Mojang themselves. It's actually a good deal compared to others.

I would never pay for something like this. Hope other people wouldn't either.

nblz seems like a completely unnecessary service when you could easily set up your own server and back up your world yourself.


Its for those who dont know how to or cant portforward and or those whose internet cant handle hosting a server

Not something that I would invest in, but I guess it would be nice if someone liked this kind of stuff :).

Doesn't really effect me since I live in North America, but it's nice for the people that don't that will be using this.

Pretty cool but why pay to go on the server? Just doesn't sound right.. Unless I'm reading it wrong.
