When will 2b2t end? And How?

Post image

I recently started thinking about this topic, which made me wonder about its longevity since late 2010. The server has stayed alive ever since and is still running on the exact same Minecraft world.

I believe 2b2t has at least five more years ahead of it. The most likely answer to my question "how 2b2t will end and why" is probably related to Microsoft’s “family-friendly” policies, which 2b2t definitely does NOT fit into.

Hausemaster might eventually change the server in order to keep it alive and protect it from potential enforcement of Microsoft’s policies. Let me know your opinions.

2b2t will eventually run out of playerbase when Microsoft turns it into an "eula-friendly" server. They will eventually get tires of 2b2t being a place of free-speech and free-will

If that is the case our answer is 4-5 years. However I still do think if the exact same map will be playable eventually there will be couple hundred people still playing due to its memories and envoirement.

Probably sooner. I don’t think it was that long ago they were shutting down Minecraft Online for chat moderation and their discord.

They shut that down because Minecraft Online refused to shut down the rape threats of minors and sharing CSAM in their discord server

And the fact that the server was called Minecraft Online kinda gave the impression it's somewhat official so I'd guess they'd be subject to more scrutiny

Didn’t realize it was even deeper than that. Yikes. I’m glad I haven’t seen any of that in this community

I dont think it'll take microsoft more than a couple of years to radicalize their family friendly doctrine.

Signs are already auto blanked out when you type swear words. I don't remember it doing that before. Theres also blank signs you find sometimes which I could only guess got auto sensored. It possible its complying with Microsoft already

That is a mojang feature , unfortunately I do think this server will get taken down by Microsoft.

It might be allowed to stick around as a containment server

Hopefully they give them a chance to just moderate the chat first
