Ok thanks now im sure tomorow i go finally buy blockland

1. Yes, just hit the Esc key while in yours or someone's server and click the Save Bricks button
2. Yes, place some bricks like 1x1 bricks for example, then take out your wrench with the Q key and scrolling to it with the mouse wheel, use the wrench on the bricks and uncheck 'Rendering', and 'Collision', this will give the effect of floating objects
3. There's an Add-On called JVS Content and JVS Doors or something, they are place-able and once they're placed, you can click while looking at them to open them
4. Technically you can, there's an Add-On that allows you to create bots, you can probably use the event system to some extent to make them talk and whatever
5. Yes, Blockland runs on the Torque Game Engine which uses the C+ (or is it C++?) scripting language
6. Yes, but only if you're in a minigame and if that minigame allows players to be killed
7. See #2
8. There is a limit, but it's so high that it's pretty much like having no limit
9. Players are free to start a multiplayer server for free and whenever they please, you can even start a dedicated server so you don't have to monitor 24/7 and you can join your dedicated server whenever you want, you just need to learn how to forward the correct ports to your router so it can appear on the server listings
10. You can't make a vehicle in game, the same goes for weapons, items, etc, this requires you to use modeling programs such as Blender or Milkshape 3D, and then you'll need to make a script file so the game will know how it works, to open a script (.cs) file, all you need is Notepad and to know how to script, you can look at the .cs files inside the archive (.zip) files in the Blockland/Add-Ons directory to see how things work



All Not Yes.
For..

Floating stuff, you need to make bricks under whatever you want to be floating, and turn those invisible, non collide, and everything. They're There, but you cant see them, feel them, or shoot them, but this disallows you from building in that area the invisible brick is.

You can kill other people if your in a minigame, not if your just on a server and its a freebuild or something. You need to be a minigame, with weapons, and those weapon damages ect. on for you to kill.

Unlimited bricks, you do have, some servers might have a limit, but barely. And you cant build on peoples bricks unless you have their trust. Theres a situation where you cant build due to its floating, in another brick/structer/map.

Vehicles, Yes. Alot more, but you need to get them from the add-on section itself, or with Return To Blockland,
A Mod Managing and Internet Relay Chat (IRC) Where you can talk to other people if they have RTB.
  From there, you can get mods for vehicles, weapons, maps, and much much more, all online player made.
     
I hope this really clears out your mind and gets you a much better look.

Current brick limit is 256k

Current brick limit is 256k
at one time, although you can save it and clear and build more

Don't provoke him :U


1 Is it possible to save my creations Yes
2 Can i make stuff float in the air Somewhat. You can make supporting bricks invisible.
3 Can i make walktrough doors Yes, you can even make doors that open when you click them.
4 Can i make NPC's With add-ons.
5 Is it possible to script in the game Not in-game, but you have plenty of freedom when it comes to scripting, as you host your own servers.
6 Can i kill others In minigames.
7 Can i make bricks float in the air Number 2
8 Do i have unlimited bricks or is their a limit If you can place over 256k bricks, tell me.
9 Can i make my own server or do i need to buy/hire one You can host your own server for free. You only have to buy the full version. That's all.
10 Is it possible to make more vehcicles or is in the real game more choise You can make your own vehicles if you learn how to model. You can also download other vehicles that other players submitted

But this disallows you from building in that area the invisible brick is.
Easily dealt with.

But one question before I explain the process, can you build on water?
