Do you have any sort of permission or support from Mojang? It might not be a good idea to invest a substantial amount of time in "A Minecraft MMO" without this...

Mojang has no issue with custom servers so long as you use their authentication, hasn't since the classic days.

Legally, they *have no say in the matter, as the server uses no assets from Minecraft and the protocol has been Chinese Wall'd (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_wall#Computer_science) via http://wiki.vg

We emailed them for permission to make a custom server a while back, and they said it was ok. We haven't contacted them specifically about the MMO yet though.

Ah, thank you! This is really useful. :)

Also, the statue you "erected" has unfortunately been destroyed. :(
