Goodbye, ORE.

[slugdude]

The server is upgrading to 1.8.3.

Microsoft bought Mojang between versions 1.8 and 1.8.1.

I boycott Microsoft to a ridiculous degree.

Therefore, I have resolved to not play any Minecraft versions later than and including 1.8.1. If we go to 1.8, I will stay. To all those who may think this is petty, I don't give a fuck.

So in the weeks/months to come I will leave.

This is an early good-bye to ORE. I will stay as long as I can. I love ORE, but I hate Microsoft.

P.S. If anyone has a copy of the world, I'd love it. I don't plan on quitting redstone.

so youre leaving because your a linux fanboy? k bai

[PabloDons]

I am sure people are pulling their hair knowing that 1.8 will work on the new server.
in fact here's another fun thing. Microsoft has not a single shit to do with minecraft development, the only thing buying mojang means is they own the trademark now. oh hey, here's another thing; your ingenious idea of a rebel against Microsoft is to not use any versions which where made after Microsoft bought mojang? I'm sorry, but that is kinda pointless, just saying. sorry for sounding pissed, that was just a major fuckup on your part, lol

[slugdude]

that is kinda pointless, just saying.

I boycott Microsoft to a ridiculous degree.

...

I don't give a fuck.

Also, I just failed everything. I can use the 1.8 client.

[greatgamer34]

wat?

[Nickster258]

Yes the 1.8 client works with 1.8.1-1.8.3. Only problem: do not go to such ridiculous ranks to boycott it. You will literally drop a community you are friends and mates with for a long time because you have a gripe with Microsoft?
Lame excuse with a ridiculous outcome. We all want to see you stay and boycotting will have 1) no affect and 2) will be getting rid of a lot of your time here and of the friends you made.

[Apuly]

I understand if you boycott microsoft by not buying the product.
HOWEVER, you already have the account, you have already supported mojang, and by continuing to play minecraft you are not financially supporting Microsoft in any way shape or form.

There are more than enough alternative launchers out there that support 1.8.3 (multiMC for instance), which means that you do not have to use the Microsoft launcher, which, in my eyes, all comes together to a pretty successful boycott.

However, if you do not agree with all this, I only have one thing to say:

"Bye."

ORE Check List:
[v] Guy gone
[v] xray only on forums
[v] ORE members being hippies in futile exercises that just show immaturity
[v] aft = -aft

[Xray_Doc]

1.8 came out just before they bought it. Just don't use 1.9

if that ever comes out at this rate

[Magic :^)]

nah they'll go straight to 2

[Legofreak]

nah they'll go straight to 2

actually they will skip over 2 altogether and go to 3

[Magazorb]

this entire thread just looks silly... sounds more like self harm then anything else and blaming MS for it.

[Jallen]

Why are we trying to stop slug leaving...

[Magazorb]

No idea, he may do as he wishes, best of luck either way, but the entire thread and discusion seems pointless to me XD

[Spidermy9]

Just why? Because Bill Gates donates a fuck-o-ton of money to charity?
LEGEIT

[Legofreak]

It's because Microsoft is tied up with Illuminati. They're doin all kinds of horrible things to oppress slugdude's master race.

[Spidermy9]

SLUGDUDE WE NEEDS TO KNOW PLS

[slugdude]

We all want to see you stay

I have a hard time believing that.

Also I'm going to stay, bcuz I can just use 1.8 and the old launcher.

[Xray_Doc]

Okay then go

[Chibill]

The launcher did not change.... for 1.8

They made one that actually will give you better performance on Windows and Mac that has its on internal version of java that is always up to date.

[Nickster258]

Closed because this is a solved "issue".
