Every year (except this year it seems), Mojang hosts a convention for Minecraft players aptly called Minecon. All attendees have the option of adding a Minecon-themed cape to their avatar in-game, which appears on any servers the player connects to. Since you can only get it by going to Mojang, they are somewhat special.
Unfortunatly, some Minecraft players are led to believe they can obtain Minecon capes by submitting their information to some rather sketchy sites. Nathan Adams, one of the main developers for Minecraft, tweeted this earlier today:
Unfortunately this is only the latest in countless spams like it. To put it simply, don't ever think you can get a Minecon cape except from Mojang. There are some other somewhat legitmate ways of obtaining a cape, like buying an account with a cape (although the seller could always be a scammer). So watch out for these phonies while playing, and see the source link for the original tweet.

"Why am I getting so many emails wanting "leftover minecon capes"? I suspect someone's fooling others into thinking they got a cape this way…"

People are so rude…
ReplyDeleteWow.You people. Do you know what a noob is? It stands for Newbie. So obviously someone new to Minecraft won't know how this stuff works.
ReplyDeleteEver heard of Google? Yeah, Google, that one search engine that gives noobs tutorials on how to get "capes." They'll see someone on a server with one and there you go.
ReplyDelete"Since you can only get it by going to Mojang, they are somewhat special." is a misprint. should be "going to minecon" not mojang
ReplyDeleteExactly.
ReplyDeletePixelBucket, they just want your money. They'll say everything they can to convince you to do stupid things, and then if you fall for it, boom, they win while you loose. They also probably don't have anything that they can do except scam and trick, so they make money in that industry. But they aren't crazy. They know what they're doing, and they take the risk of it every time they do something like that. But those people are definite jerks.
