The critics started just on the first day, because to play the minigames, you had to pay MineCoins or even with real money. When you were trying to enter one of the portals of these minigames, the sevre automatically threw you back and opened a menu where it directed you directly to the page to buy it. Maybe you feel like playing in Islands mode? Nuh uh, buy it. Or maybe you want to mine a little in the volcanoes? You also have to pay. Or you want to become a great chef? Nuh uh, buy it and give me your money. Each access to these minigames were called passes, and it costs 310 MineCoins, and for each modality you would have to pay 2 dollars in real life. That means for the 3 minigames you would pay 6 dollars. It is truly absurd that all players have to pay $6 to start playing Pixel Paradise decently. The 2 dollars were after many months because at the inauguration of the server this was more expensive. When it just came out it costed $2.49, almost a dollar more for each minigame. But now what happened if you were a humble person and had no money to pay? Well Pixel Paradise would wash their hands and say that it did have free minigames, a very basic spleef and a TNT run, two of the oldest minigames that exist in Minecraft, and if you're wondering, these modalities had nothing special, you couldn't really enjoy the original Pixel Paradise modalities, so that's why from the first day of launch, the criticism and dissapointment from users rained down. Well, no one could believe how Mojang had accepted this server as an official server, but we are only beginning, because inside the server, you not only had to pay for these passes to play the minigames. Once you paid access for one of these minigames, you were surprised that within the minigames, there were more microtransactions, for example in the volcano game, it could take hours, days, weeks or even months to complete all the levels, we are talking about that which asked you for hundreds of thousands of points to advance. So to really enjoy this paid minigame, you had to pay to be able to advance further. This made many players buy something called "Eruption Pickaxe" that costs 2720 MineCoins, so that you can pay that, you would have to but the offer of 3200 MineCoins because it would not be enough for you with 1600, so practically each volcanic eruption cost you practically $20, these volcanoes ended the entire area, so that in this way you could obtain all of them automatically, and in those volcanic eruptions it would take a long time to finish the game, but there were a lot of things like this. For example, one of the most expensive things you could buy was the VIP pass, with a modest price of 4280 MineCoins. As you can see in the MineCoin offers, there is one of 3200, but the next it is 8000, so many players ended up buying the offer of $50, but they were able to give more than 50 dollars on the server? Well you could fly, get helping Bots for the Island mode, infinite aquatic breathing, and the ability to have a fast boat. So as you were imagining, people could not pay so much money, and that caused the server to be very empty. This very expensive business model caused them that in 2023, they closed forever, and they announced on X that their final day will be on August 11th, giving all it's users the ability to play the minigames for free for a short period of time.
