I commend you, OP, for thanking everyone instead of pointing out all the negative aspects.
It's great to remember what this game used to be, and it is definitely sad to see it slowly slip away.

Also,

I'd still say this game was the best $20 purchase I ever made.

its funny, i dont think 10 yr old me ever considered just how profound blockland would end up being  

i really want to say what i have to say about this game, but as im sitting here typing this, i simply cant put into words how much this game means to me, so ill just list a whole bunch of memories

i think my favourite time with this game had to be when i met young link, whose better known as this guy. he was definitely the first real friend i made in this game, but god damnit ill always feel awful for hating on him just because the rest of the community did when he was going through the whole shin chan ordeal. im so sorry ;-:

back then i also distinctly remember feeling like illidan had it out for me. i definitely was not one of the most liked members way back in the day. i dont blame them tho, i was awful

i also remember RoB (Rise of Blockland). to date, i think thats the best user created mod this game has ever seen. and its funny cause that was made by mr wallet, who also taught me how to use the printer tool

that loving printer tool was the biggest mystery for me when i started. i just could not figure out how to get the damn thing to work. it never connected in my mind i had to use both the printer gun and print bricks together. i even had a guy spell out WITH the printer and print bricks right in front of me, "USE PRINT BRICKS friend" and was just like "lol ok thx" and left because i still had no clue what to do. mr wallet was kind enough to sit down and walk me through step by step how to do it. thx mr wallet :)

i also remember the pokemon mod. holy stuff that was the highlight of 2007 i think. there was this one pokemon server khorde showed me and it was so hella fun. i had the save of the map for the longest time, but i lost it last year. it was the first map that really showed me just how big builds could be. it was huge.

i also remember watching zor build bedroom. come to think of it i remember a lot of zor, like the boob mod, or 3d studs lol

oh god, and USSR and MotE. as a kid i was mystified by these clans. i wanted to be in them so bad, but my building skills just couldn't compare... stuff i dont even think they still can

i also remember long cat. that big long pixel longcat was so fun to participate in. i miss a lot of old forum gags, like OOPAH or those silly circle band avatars.

i also remember the old maps, like the big semi truck, or the SS office, or packers golf course, or buildroom, or gta vice city... the list goes on

thanks blockland for being the best 20 dollars i ever spent, and thanks badspot for making one of the best games ive ever played and thank u blockland community, for being the most in-depth fun filled community ive ever been a part of. its crazy to think how simple curiosity lead to all this. at first i didnt want to try blockland cus my initial thought was that it was some complex 3d modelling program lol

I remember back when I first got Blockland.

First thing I, of course, did was do the Tutorial (duh), cause I needed to learn how to play this game!

I started off by attempting to host a server, but back then you had to port forward, and youngster me did not know what to do with that, so I just brushed it off. I just started getting lots of addons, old addons especially, they intrigued me, to play and mess around with. Man, I remember the first time I loaded up the Bedroom. I was so perplexed by it's appearance, I didn't know where to start in a game like this. So, I just placed a brick down and chose an item to have fun with. I started by loading ACM City, everyone's favorite default build (I think), and started obliterating it to smithereens. I was having such a blast, blowing up every structure I could find.

I then started to find out some secrets about the Bedroom, like the hidden area inside the bed, the dresser, and the fact that you could break the windows. One of the very first things I ever built was this bar inside of the bed. I was really proud of it, I also had "Thriller" playing in it (heh). Right now, I would consider it, along with many others, nothing but spam, but it will always have a place in my heart as one of the first things I have built on this wonderful game.

After all that carnage, I started to experience some online gameplay, and then I found out I wasn't quite cut for this multiplayer experience. I didn't know how to act properly, and was just a general moron. I was jeered for my ridiculous name back then, but little me didn't know what was going on. One of my VERY first friends was Carbon Zypher, who is now probably my best friend in Blockland, and has made tons of addons. One of the most memorable servers I have ever been on was Lugnut's Apocolypse RP (I forgot the first part of the name, something about blue), cause I loved to roleplay back then, and I still kind of do now.

That was around the time when I found the "Blockland Forums", and since I didn't know what was coming to me, I joined it. Boy, was that a mistake for young me. I made useless help topics, idiotic posts, and I spammed. I spammed a LOT because I didn't know better (even though it ain't no excuse)! Then, eventually I got banned for participating in a chainban and had to get a new forum account, which is this one. The community is awesome, I love all these stufffests, it's fun to watch people fling themselves at others for usually no apparent reason, or get miffed at words on a screen. I somehow have kept myself out of these, lucky me.

In all seriousness, this game is possibly the BEST game I've spent time on, I had to beg my dad in many ways to buy me this game. It was the best decision I made. Even though this game is slipping away at it's chance to redeem itself, cause now we have a much higher popularity point, and the fact that the development progress is "forget it", I just can't keep coming back to it, no matter how hard I try to stay away.
Blockland is love, Blockland is life.

I love you guys.  

leik if u cri evrytiem

I want to say something about how much I love this game but I can't think of any good stories to tell D:

I guess I remember this one huge RPG that was hosted way back when by either teneski or tezuni, though probably the latter
There was also the arcade block party, that was pretty fun, along with the winter and really old destruct Halloween party

The destruct Halloween server is actually one of the first ones I remember actually going on, I probably met some of you guys on there and didn't know it at the time

[FireMan]

Thanks for all the replies, guys!

It's really heartwarming to read about how many of you still have good memories of Blockland. I'll miss this game.

This community was a bunch of starfishs to me when I started, mainly because of me acting like the 11 year old I was ("•_•" anybody?)

But now I visit everyday. I love this community :)
(Also, your avatar was mine once back in 2011. Did you have that all the time?)

[Ben Grapevine]

First server I went on was Newt24's City RPG back in 2008... good times... simpler times.

[Hardy619]

I don't really play as much as I used to, and I really want to start working on machinima's again, but schoolwork and laziness has kept me from it.

But damn it, this community keeps making me come back. You guys are smart, you're funny, and I either laugh or gain a bit of knowledge every time I come here.

Thanks guys, I owe you one.

I have spent thousands of fun filled hours, building, learning to event, playing with friends, and downloading addons. This game has made me happy for many of years, I remember being so filled with joy the day I got the game at age 9, begging my parents to buy the game, then begging some more to download addons (I was on my dads PC at the time, anyways he didnt let me). I grew up playing with legos, waking up as early as 5 AM at age 6, just to build, it is sad to watch this game wither and die before me. But hopefully it wont, hopefully we can fix this. I would give up a lot to see this game back to what it was. Kind people, building together, shooting at each other. I wish this would go back, to when bedroom was, what it was. When we all blew each other up with Rocket Launchers and sliced each other with swords, and skied down slopes like badasses. I just hope that someday I can go back to that.

If Blockland never existed I wouldn't know anything about how to edit videos, how to stream, how to even use a computer, as I never used the family computer until I found Blockland, and now here I am, with my own computer, knowing how to do stuff nobody in my entire year knows how to do.

I'm still wondering what to do when I'm older but egh

[killer707]

Back in 2008 i used to play it. It was only a demo and i wanted it so bad. I ended up playing other games but they were just boring. i wanted blockland and 5 years later i ended up buying it.
