I 100% agree with Anthony. The fact that this hasn't been fixed yet, and is being excused at all is, frankly, appalling. I can safely say it has soured me on the idea of ever spending money on any Mojang/Microsoft related services in the future, and advising my friends to abstain as well. I never would have dreamed that a company like this would have the gall to completely break a fundamental part of the experience I'm paying for, and still bill me $8 a month for it. It's literally shameful how things are going down with this situation: we pay you for a service that is not being properly provided as advertised. The entire point of Minecraft Realms, indeed as it is advertised, is to enable playing with friends, this requires inviting them, which you can not currently do. Yet still, the sign-up form for Realms is publicly available. You're actively taking signups and money for access to a system you've fundamentally broken. Why is that acceptable to anyone involved with this game's development?
By the way, to anyone reading this, know you're within your rights to request a refund for your months of realms affected by this, if and when you are refused, call your bank or payment processor and have a charge-back issued, tell them the service was mid-advertised and unusable and you were billed regardless, and the vendor refused to refund you despite the service not functioning as advertised. You don't have to take this.
Yes! Having this exact same problem, please address it!
As far me and my friend can still access my realm, but I can't give him permission so all he can do is walk around, can't even open anything.
Couldn't agree more Amanda, while I appreciate Spud's attempt to find a work-around, and completely understand that the root of this issue is probably not his fault, my confidence has definitely been shaken. I too have been heavily involved in development, testing, and bug reports in the past, everywhere from professional media software to video games, and I don't think I've ever seen bug requests handled as poorly as they are being here. These are real issues, real money is being given to Microsoft for a service that plainly doesn't work. It's a nice thought, but we don't need half-baked workarounds when we're paying you guys $8 a month on top of the retail price of the game (multiple times over for many multi-platform users). Ignore the floating mobs and lighting glitches and fix what's important.
