Ha, actually the best moment I can remember of Blockland involved greifers. Which you don't see anymore. Go security measures. ...?
It was on Builder's Hills, and I had built off of one of the main baseplates down to make a house above the lake. I had just finished the second story (and each story had room enough for at least 3-5 good sized rooms. It was pretty impressive, at least to myself), and was about to finish the roof. People from the server were helping me, and we were moving at a good clip. Then entered two people, evidently from a clan. Well, they found a hammer.
Back in those days, when I saw people spawn and head directly for a hammer, that was when I thought maybe I wasn't in such good company. Because just like these people, they'd just swarm all over what you were building like gnats. So the admin, at my request, made a bow and arrow spawn. All four of us grabbed one, and three of them would hold the greifers back while I made repairs. It was actually sort of fun.
But y'know, sometimes people have to sleep. The defenders slowly dropped off, until it was just me and the admin. The house was sturdily built (back in my day, we built with 2x4s. And I'm not talking about in Blockland days, either. It's just how I built), but the admin tired of holding them off and they got away with the top layer before they too got bored.
I never finished that house, and I was mad at the time, but it was actually pretty intense. Makes me want to host a vanilla server again.
