Over the past month I have had Minecraft Realms, and if you look at my profile, most of it is about Realms. It's like winning a lottery you didn't even enter; beating the odds of 10,000,000 to 1.
Either way, all 100 of us were given it for a reason -- to test it -- and I intend to fulfill that reason.
Many of you will say that Realms is crazy, ridiculous, insane even! I think not. The addition of Minecraft Realms is to easily support the setup of small, private servers for players to quickly and easily setup a personal online multiplayer between each other. And indeed it has been very fast, easy, convenient, and game changing to the server-setup side of Minecraft.
My perspective of it?
Cloud-Stored singleplayer worlds!
(Which might interest you more)
Minecraft Realms provides fast and affordable servers that could normally cost MUCH more than $15 a month. No, you can't FTP, VPN, run websites, Dynamap, all that jazz. But some people don't want that; some people just want to play.
Is it wrong for Mojang to start this?
Absolutely, positively, not.
If third-party hosting services can charge for server hosting, Mojang has the right to host themselves and improve upon it.
With all the murmurs going around Mojang on twitter, I personally very satisfied with the performance and practicality of Minecraft Realms compared to my personal server of 4 GB and dual-2.5GHz.
If Minecraft Realms interests you, buy it when it releases. It's certainly not for everyone -- but if it is for you, get it. You won't regret it.
As a correction we had a 100 in 10,000,000 chance, but other than that I agree. It is a very fun service since I get it for free but I don't know if I would prefer it over a self made server.
I only pay about $8 a month for my server. Plus, it's Bukkit, my server is cheap and great so I see no need in this Minecraft Realms idea, I guess it's cool but it doesn't seem worth it really.
I think it's made for quick and private servers.
For example you want to play "walls" map with your friends that live in different countries, and you can't set up a server when your specs are not good enough.
i wish i was chosen to test it i have been waiting forever for them and now they`re $ooooo close. btw, as testers do you get full7.0 or just realms? and will it be released earlier then may???

I own a vanilla server and I've considered getting realms just to be able to do this without having to switch maps on my server.
Also, I can vouch for how well the multiplay servers are run, so I'm looking forward to Realms even more.
If you subscribed to minecraft realms just to set up a minecraft minigame and not use your subscription time for anything else it would just be better to set up a hamachi server and play that way.
Also you cant currently upload maps to realms
NO. Hamachi is the most terrible excuse for setting up a server.
I haven't used it yet, but from what I have speculated, it is mostly as you said for people who might not be able to run the software to run a server or pay for a host. I personally prefer paying for a host, but that's because I'm a plugin developer and Bukkit is my home
I would use both my online host and realms, though, because TOO often my friends and I want to play, like, a 'dropper' map, or a 'super hostile' map, or some other adventure map, but we can't do it because our paid server would take too long to setup what we wanted, and it would also have a lot of plugins that would cheat it

Perfect way of explaining it. Too many people see this as Mojang's combatant.
Mojang isn't Activision people! They're good at what they're doing! How could you people have lost your faith in them?

Learn how to port forward...

Ban me, I dare you

Then I'm not referring to you, I'm referring to those who do use Hamachi.
