@OtherGreenGamer If anyone remembers the 1.8 - 1.9 fiasco, the same thing will happen. People will push for the update, new server made for people who like 1.11.2. That server quickly dies out. Then everyone gets over it and moves to 1.12.

I can say with almost certainly we will not be doing that for such a trivial update.

People expect the latest update, if we do not we will fall behind.
There's no real reason to stay behind, if you don't want the update you don't need to use the additions.

I need those diamonds for legitimate purposes.

The ping is fine but the download speed is absolutely terrible. Barely usable, it's possible you have exceeded the data limit on your broadband plan and they have limited you? Try getting stats on another device to check if it's the actual Internet or your PC.

Can Proxeria not take over Crafty ?

I don't think that's possible while we have a very solid staff team in place, no one here has any experience with all the custom software CM runs on nor the time to maintain and add to it.

Thank you for all your work, it's truly been a great part of all our lives.
All good things come to an end sadly.

Crafty can change your name @CraftyMyner

@OtherGreenGamer However much I like the idea, it has the potential to really mess up the economy. Because any John/Jane Doe with 9 diamonds could go from nobody to rich. This is a problem because people who work for their profit via business or otherwise could work for months and still not have even half the amount that this random won for just being lucky.

The lottery fixes the economy actually, no diamonds are added In fact they are taken out reducing the inflation.
So what if one noob gets rich, the rest of the people participating lose out so it's fine from an economic sense.

I feel feel obligated to point out the risks for others.

The reason I would not go for this is simple, the risk of you claiming them back with the transaction ID, if you have access to the ID you could claim it back from Mojang no problem within a week and keep the Vip too.
If you were capable of providing the IDs and proving they are legitimate then I would consider the deal however.

That's assuming they are legitimately brought, if they are hacked accounts it would be a very risky thing to do simply because the original owners could claim back with transaction ID or Mojang would lock it if they suspect its been compromised like the often do.
I know from experience after buying 10 dodgy accounts last year and having only 1 left 4 months later that they don't last long.
