Free Minecraft until this gets fixed

Phew. Wow. I never should’ve tried doing an update without fixing the performance issues.

I’ve disabled everything CPU intensive on the web server now, and put the downloads on an Amazon Cloud thingie. Since I’ve disabled payments as well, this means that Minecraft will be free to play until this all gets sorted.

The game will be free to play until this gets sorted. Then after that, it’ll only let people who have paid for the game play again.

While the free weekend goes on ( no login verification ) the Gamercide server will stay down.
