I kind of lost interest at that point. I'm not interested in managing another subscription for this.

Edit: It looks like it includes a hosted server. That makes more sense, but I'd prefer an option without it.

It looks like it requires a special modded version of minecraft running on the server. I wonder if they have plans to release or sell the server code.

All of these third-parry mod systems require a modified version. Bukkit did, and so does CanaryMod. Right now there's no official way to do modding so I suspect that this is their issue. And not releasing it allows them to generate a little revenue. For $30 a year? Sure, why not.

I'd love to see Microsoft fix this, and create a well documented modding API.

I'd like to just see them fold in one of the existing ones myself :)

I preordered it just now - seems like a server is more in the line of paying over period rather than boxed package.
