Any release date set yet? Maybe I'd be better off waiting to start any ambitious projects until retail becomes available.

I think I'll play it by ear. Right now, I'm leaning toward TBM solely for the amount of bricks and extensive color palette. Pending the release of RTB 1.05, I may switch over (if it adds a significant number of necessary bricks). For now, my island is still in the planning stages so I don't need to make any hasty decisions.

Thanks again to everybody for your opinions. I never thought I'd get such a fast response.

If RTB had as many brick choices as TBM, it'd definately be the way to go. As of right now, I'm still debating between the two.

Is RTB still being updated with new content, or are its makers holding off until the retail release I've been hearing about?

1. Okay, so it seems like TBM is great for builders (with more color choices and bricks). Is it possible to add bricks to RTB, or does this require an update from the makers of the mod themselves?

2. Which mod takes the map category?

3. I'm wondering if one is more stable than the other. I wouldn't want the mod to disappear any time soon and lose all of my work.

Hmm...

In order to maintain neutrality please email me your thoughts to chaotico@grandecom.net; I'd hate to start a war here on these forums.

I'd like to hear how this mod animosity came about.

Thanks.

Greetings.

I'm fairly new around here, and have dug through these forums trying to overcome Blockland's steep learning curve. It seems like a lot of fun.

My dilemma centers around the two mods, TBM and RTB. I briefly tried both, but can't decide between the two. I have a few criteria for what I'm looking for, and it may be a little different than most people here.

• I'm looking to set up a permanent island neighborhood.
• The best weapons and team options are not my main concern.
• I want a safe and secure server.
• Good builder's options, and a wide selection of bricks.
• A color palette that stays true to the original "Lego" style.
• Good vehicles (maybe both mods have the same vehicles and vehicle physics, not sure on this...).
• Attractive, easy-to-use and customize GUI.

If anybody would be willing to offer their most unbiased opinion on this as possible, that'd be a great help.

Thank you for your time.
