Your name reminds me of that series...

Welcome Back.

Thank you sir. Ridrichard is just one of those nicknames that sticks. Easy to remember, and not too many people are using it. I got it from the movie Pitch Black, which I saw when it came out in 2000. I loved the movie (still do, one of my favorite sci-fi films of all time) and the name sounded cool at the time, because I was kinda young, but alot of my friends kept calling me Ridrichard regardless of what nickname I changed to.

Alright. Well, if that's the case, I will most likely start with RtB aswell (if it's still available), there are things I have been dying to build which includes movers, which I unfortunately can't do in Retail. Alot of my creative stuff I made in RtB heavily relied on movers. But I still like Retail though, so I think I'm gonna be playing both versions.

Nope, doesn't ring a bell. But it's nice to see another old-school around here. :-)

I don't think I explained myself clearly enough regarding the whole brick-moving-thingy. What I want is to be able to set triggers on bricks, for instance, in order to make a door open and close. In RtB, you could do this with the wrench (and in AiO too, I'm pretty sure). You could choose whether or not the brick you hit was supposed to trigger another brick, or if it triggered itself once you touched it. You could change the numbers in the vertical, horizontal and diagonal boxes, you could pretty much make your bricks move any way you wanted. I pray to death there's some kind of add-on for this, because this feature alone made Blockland unique for me.

You know his story is true because he saidSpearguns are not around anymore tho :(    Welcome back though :D  What was your RTB name anyhow?\

Edit: he also saidThis guy is true RTB fo sho.

Thanks for welcoming an old fart back. Heck, I'm sure I won't be missing the good 'ol spear gun that much, I'm more looking forward to new ways of dispatching legomen, perhaps machetes or something in that direction. I've been an avid online gamer for 10 years, and have been using dozens and dozens of nicknames throughout my gaming history. My nick might had been Ridrichard, or perhaps AlfredtheMoose, although I'm not completely sure. I remember various clans that were around at the time, for instance [-IR-] (or was it UR?), [WOLF], [USSR] and -=RED=-. I'm pretty sure I was in at least two of the clans, they might have been some of the four I mentioned above.

I can't seem to get my Swiss Gun to work. I copied the .zip file into my Add-Ons folder, but I can't find it in-game. Is it supposed to show up at the rightmost corner of my screen along with the wrench and spray can?

Nope, Dude44 doesn't ring a bell. I see there's a lot of young folks around on this forum, not too many I can recognize. Heck, most of you were probably playing with real lego by the time I started playing Blockland. ;-)

Too bad EW's gone, made the game less laggier. But I'm glad the brick moving feature hasn't been excluded. I will check out that Swiss Army Gun thing as soon as I get home.

Thanks everyone, it's great to be back. I just completed the tutorials, but most of it felt very familiar. By the way, whatever happened to the Editor Wand? Is there any way to change brick size? Or, what about being able to make bricks move, like you could with the wrench in RtB?

Howdy fellow Blockland players. I just bought Blockland today, and I'm thoroughly looking forward to play it once I get home, it has been 4½ years since I last started the game! I used to play the very first version of Blockland back when it got released in late 2004 (correct me if I'm wrong), and then I moved on to AiO and RtB. I only played AiO for about a month or so, but I played RtB for almost two years. But in early 2007, when the new Blockland got released (the one that actually required you to dig your paycard up from your wallet), I decided not to buy it since I was piss poor at the time. I played RtB for another month and eventually stopped doing so, due to the game being completely deserted. But here I am again in 2011, ready to build bricks, impale legomen with spearguns and what not! I have always missed Blockland ever since I stopped playing it in 2007, and now I finally pulled myself together and barely paid $20.00 for it. Anyway, I hope I didn't bore you to death with my lifetime story and hope to see you all in-game in the not so distant future.
