ok?? you can literally say the same thing for b4v21, not every one of those 26 is active and playing

it's on a loving server, there's going to be MUCH less afk players when compared to the MAIN SERVER SELECT SCREEN WHERE EVERYONE GOES.

but nobody is moving from area 1 to area 2

yes they loving are, people who weren't around during v20 are now playing it, people with ids higher than 200k are playing it without their name matching a alt.

what?? please name like 3 people who've stopped playing v21 for v20, anybody on v20 still plays v21 or just didn't play v21 in the first place

i've seen kenko barely touch v21 since b4v21 became so popular, he only plays on v21 if all of his friends are there now.
i'm not in any massive social cliques, you do this research yourself.

yes you can lol what's saying you can't, i don't think they're that intense of games that every second of your focus has to be on them, there's no need for "prioritizing playtime"

what i was saying is, you can't ACTIVELY play both games, you can't build a castle in v20 while also playing a deathmatch in v21 without having massive afk breaks

alright so you're basing your claims off of things you see, without any actual evidence to back it up on

so are you. you're pulling stuff out of your ass right now just to spite me.
all you need to do is look at your friends who play blockland and see how many prefer to play on the v20 server over the v21 based on their playtime.

breaking news: v20 is not killing v21

YOU'RE MISSING MY ENTIRE loving POINT.
it's not a problem NOW, but it may BECOME ONE if this trend continues.
the problem currently is small, but it's growing larger each time the v20 server has a spike in players, if people think the v20 server is more populated, they'll hop onto it during peak time rather than play on the v21 server, resulting in the v21 losing a player during that time.

I've never had any issues building maps out of terrain bricks, you people are completely full of stuff

i also want to add that i think the blockland maps rarely fit in with the blockland aesthetic; they're typically realistic looking with really outdated textures on them. the only upside to them is that they dont run like ass with vehicles when compared to the sometimes volatile vehicle physics of modter

v20 is better

1. do you really think 167 players to 26 players is Ahh V21 Is Dying!!!! (pro-tip: more servers, it's spread out)

167 players also indicates everyone online, even the afk and bots on the main screen of blockland; it's an inflated number when compared to the actual active player count.
sure there are more servers, but only like 4-8 of them actually have players on them.

2. no, the amount of people playing your v21 server wouldn't be tiny, there's still a stuff ton of people on v21

less players playing the main game  ==> less players to join your server you just started as they're all on the top server or another game version.

3. really, i'd love to see where you're getting this "v21 is dying" statistic from, it's had the same amount of people on for the past good 2-3 years, you seem to be talking right out your ass saying that everyone is switching to v20

simple loving logic; people start from area 1, people move to area 2, less people in area 1.
people are switching to v20 because it appears more active during peak times and weekends.
you can't play both v21 and v20 at the same time, you have to chose one to prioritize your playtime on.

stop getting all paranoid and actually use your loving brain for a second, there's been no sign of decline since b4v21 started (nor has v21 gone down in playercount at all) and blockland is not just gonna suddenly kill of the new one because Muh Maps, people aren't leaving v21 for v20 at all it's just a way to enjoy the old game

people do stick to a version of the game they like and will play it more, i'm not saying people will only play v20 because that would be handicapped.
the playercounts for b4v21 shot up once the steam client was released, it then became a problem more people were noticing for once.
i've been complaining about this with kenko since day loving one. i dislike the concept of splitting up a tiny community just for a little nostalgia shot.

this problem is just beginning, we don't know if it's going to have major effects on v21 right now, i'm making my best guess based on what i've seen happening.

the playerbase isn't even split there's like 10 loving people playing b4v21 99.9% of them still playing v21

forget off.
the v20 server is gaining more and more attention and players since the steam client was released for it (to even get the steam client you need to join their discord clique, so that's forgetin amazing).

v21 to the left, v20 to the right. v20 image provided by kenko. both images were taken at roughly the same time and day.
this was during the weekend too, so player counts become *much* higher.
v20 had more players on one server than the highest server on v21, did not get the total playercount of the v20 master server, but we can add about 4-6 based on the trends.
while yes, the v21 master server has more total players, you have to consider that v20 is removing potential players for the v21 server.

say if i wanted to host on v21, but a chunk of the playerbase were only seeing the v20 server, the amount of people i'd get on my server would be loving tiny because there's a much smaller pool of players who will see my server listed compared to before this.
aka. forget you if you're not a part of some clique who can advertise their server to everyone cross versions, everyone else is just jacking off in v20 without you knowing.
you either join v20 to host your server or play on a game which is rapidly losing it's active players to another version of itself.

but lets play a mind game here, no answers expected for this one;
lets say you're a new player in the middle of all this drama, you don't read the forums, you're not an alt, you just got a copy of blockland on steam. now you notice that the playercount is incredibly low, you do not know that everyone else is on some other server because it's not listed on the game.
you also won't know if there's an alternate client which allows you to alternate between versions as you just got this game.
so, seeing that there's like a tiny fraction of people, you quit blockland and demand a steam refund for a "dead game".

the blockland community is loving tiny, and we're splitting it in a ever increasing margin by introducing alternate masterservers for the game.
this isn't as much as a problem as it is now, but it's going to get worse and worse as the v20 server gains more attention and people playing on it.
