Mojang are giving away 12,000 Minecraft Realms trial keys this weekend

4.7

To celebrate the release of Minecraft Realms, Mojang are giving away a whopping 12,000 trial keys this weekend. Every hour, from 11am UTC on Saturday, to 11am UTC on Sunday, 500 keys will be doled out randomly to Minecrafters. The only thing need to do is to boot up the game, and click the “Minecraft Realms” option, and see if you’re a winner.

Minecraft Realms is a paid for service where you, and friends, can play on a Mojang ran server. There, players can create their own random world, upload their own maps, or select a Mojang made preset. It’s basically a no-nonsense way to grab yourself a server that’s easy to use and secure.

“Realms costs from €8/£6.40/$10.40 a month to play (it’s a bit cheaper if you subscribe for longer), and up to 10 crafters can play on any one Realm at a time.” said Mojang's Owen Hill. “It’s currently only available for the PC version of Minecraft.”

To get into the 14 day long trial, just fire up Minecraft this weekend and select the “Minecraft Realms” option in the main menu. If you’re in luck, you’ll bag yourself trial that will instantly begin there and then.

Good luck!

I hope this will attract people to paying for realms servers, you have to play it firsthand to get a feel for the connection to see if it is right for you

Tricks Good for Mojang getting their name out there. Kinda just seems like they're throwing away money though.

like they even need money

at only 10 players a server, this server isn't that great. I mean, it's better than nothing, and now all the 12 yr olds can be set in the right direction, but still, lol.

I don't personally play Minecraft anymore, aha

That's a lot of money just thrown away, good on them though!

To be fair, I haven't played MC that much, but it's a pretty funny game to chill playing.

Pretty good considering it's free although most people just use their dedicated server anyway. Realms is pretty good for those wanting to play some small games with friends though.
