How Blockland has changed FOR you over time.
NinjaMaster:
I miss the days when I had first bought Blockland, I enjoyed the way it made me feel, to be able to create whatever I pleased. But then, my uncle in Pakistan bought me this awesome new laptop. I downloaded Blockland and by then i had forgotten my E-mail for my other BL so I just bought it again, then v9 was the new stuff and it just felt so, different. But, yeah, it is alot different.

I remember one of those portal servers, where chamber 3 was only a quarter finished. :cookieMonster:

So let's go back before 1.0 and above. Good ol' hacky RTB 1.045 and v0002. Remember how laggy it was? Wasn't that just fun? So fun that RTB introduced the editor wand. The thing that messed BL up for a while. It was so cool being able to build something with perfectly sized bricks and make impossible structures. It was like a multiplayer modeling app! Also, we had some "great" deathmatches. We shot at each other until the admin got too pissed off because he was being killed. It sucked. lots and lots of screenshots of 1.0 started coming out with its new design. Lots of people hated it. I, personally, loved it. We were introduced to jello effects, emitters, culling, pseudo-physics destruction effects, and all that. As it got closer to release, bones4 released some youtube videos of all of these things. Also a few weeks before, badspot changed the player model to the rayman like guy we have today. Then it was released!
In "retail", the game has changed a LOT. You could go to a server and see either spam, or a quite neat build. Sometimes there would be a default item dm or everyone driving around while two people built. I guess the vehicle thing didn't really change. one thing that did was how awesome the builds were. Back then, you would see a box 2x2 (jello) house, and you would be blown away.
There was a also lot more originality with dms. Remember pushbroom sumo and checkerboard dms? Those were great. Also remember Pload's Jail Break? When you look at it now, it was hacky as hell. Back then, we were blown away. Now we have some really neat gamemodes with Space Guy's TDM.
Remember how amazed we were at the ramp bricks having proper collision? That was great. now we have proper custom bricks constantly being released! Remember Propsys? That was our old obj2blb. I actually do prefer the default bricks over all of the new bricks coming out. I guess I'm just a picky starfish in a way. But what's with those damn pole bricks? Since when have those been used in real lego builds how they are in BL builds? Also, what's with custom colorsets? I've never seen a proper red green and blue in one colorset. Why are all greens so bright? Why are all blues so blue? Why was this so cool back near release? At least people stopped whining about the damn Editor Wand.
Also the server list kinda sucked. You never knew who hosted it, you never knew what or who was in it. Since 1.0, we've gotten color coding, names, and the web list. Speaking of the web list, remember the old bloxel? That was so amazing. It was so unexpected and cool. It didn't have any ray-tracing, and it looked way more like simcity. What ever happened to those neat scripts that added some cool functionality anyway? I guess Ephialtes made all of them we needed. And what's with all of the people who make griefing scripts now? I don't remember anyone doing that back near release.
tl;dr: I ramble.
ShadowsfeaR:
Does anyone remember the (I think this is what it's called) Maruchannel City RP? Yesyes, I understand that the word city and rp don't belong together but this was the first server I joined. I always went back. God, just thinking about it is giving me so much nostalgia. But I have to agree so much that the atmosphere has changed drastically, for the better or worse. I think I felt change alot was because I started modeling and little things can change big environments. I think if I could revisit those days with my knowledge and everything I'd do it a thousand times over. THE FEELING WAS JUST TOO GOOD.
Edit: I also remember how my first name was Mastur Cheev. Such a friend back then. Then again no one complained. Also, I remember when I joined Bushido's Hotel Tower thingy and he started being a friend (e.g. Spawning me over a ledge/spawning me next to him just to kill me) and banned me forever. I quickly got over my rage and completely forgot about it untill recently. Heh, he's come along way since then.
