Got scammed

Apparently after not accessing the server for 3 days the server is locked down and you have to go through a paywall to gain access to it again,and even when you do your world is wiped out unless you have created a backup.Of course this wasn't mentioned anywhere nor was I informed of this and it just feels scammy and exploitative

Server Locked, Had to pay to have access to have server wiped

Our server was locked when we didn't play for a while, which was an unknown feature us.

There was a paywall to have access to our server again. Since it was a world with our boyfriend, there were a lot of memories on the server, so we decided to pay for a monthly subscription to access it.

All the server files were wiped anyway, a waste of money. It was implied we'd have access to our files since it was "locked". I might as well have just created a new server.

Never would have choose Minefort as a host if I knew this would happen. I feel extra exploited since I pay to have no access to our world anyway

Server gets paywalled unless you play constantly.

The server itself was fine while I had it. I was on the free plan and it worked as well as you would expect for a free server. However yesterday I got an email saying that because I hadn’t played in 48 hours it would be getting shut down in 24 hours. I received this email at 3am so I didn’t see it at first. I only saw it at 12pm today and now my server is locked and I can’t even download the files to play the world offline unless I pay up £5 a month. This feels a bit scammy. I didn’t see this catch listed ANYWHERE on the site before I opened the server, and 24 hours is not enough warning. Either be more clear about these terms before you start a free server or give your users more time to open their server again before you lock it. I started this server because my last one on Minehut was limited to 4 hours a day, but this is even worse. I want nothing less than to pay to open my world again but I’m going to have to to download the files. But after that I’m never touching Minefort again and I suggest nobody else does, either.

Minefort is better than aternos but it should improve...

Minefort is a great platform and better from aternos as aternos gives u a queue everytime, so I absolutely loved the server , some things like veiwing everyones inventory in the server is a little hard but it is okay. Things minefort should improve tht 1. More storage / ram for free players 2. 24/7 servers . Rest the server is smooth n i love it
