So I woke up this morning and turned on my laptop and opened Minecraft to see something rather strange on the Title screen, something that has been said that the US wouldn't have access to for a long time :P I now have access to Mineraft Realms! :D
The button just appears there now, it doesn't mean you can get your own realm yet (If you are in the US). You can be invited to a realm and join it though.
You have to upgrade your MC to 1.7.9, if you want to make your own realm you have to buy a subscription.
*Surprise Most people in Europe, i.e. Finland, Sweden, Norway, Netherlands, UK, Denmark, Germany, have Minecraft Realms and have had it for a while. It just recently came to Canada, and now to the US.
