Author Topic: The Golden Age of Blockland  (Read 14252 times)

V7 was where I met all the original Blocklanders and took it all for granted.

Then my old computer broke, and hard drive was wiped clean.

Oh boy do I miss the saves those versions held ;_;

Those saves will never surface again and the newer blocklanders can't see the amazing builds built only with default bricks and no events.

Why do people like the old ones...?

The add-ons were better.
The builds were better.
The people were better.
The game was better.

forget you and your new age bullstuff.


Generally the sentiment is that the older versions are the times before all the riff-raff moved in.
Which may or may not be true.

I blame the Era of the RPG.

I like V8 cause it was simpler. Add-ons were pretty fun, not as many idiots, and you didn't have to ban for spamming because people were mature. Well, more mature than now.

I enjoyed V9 a lot, because I was much younger.  It was also probably due to the fact that this awesome guy named Raiden taught me events before most people understood them, so I felt smart.  And I joined a clan and build a lot of fairly decent stuff for a new guy.  Lots of RP's and freebuilding servers were good too.

Personally I believe everyone just bandwagons a lot about V8.  I didn't have much experience with it, only demo, but it seemed inferior a bit.

I bought my first ID in early V8.. I remember zombie sieges on slopes dark :3

v11-v14
that was when i was in ecstasy with my first bl friends
then everybody died

Yeah but slopes dark didn't come around yet :cookieMonster:

*sigh*

I miss when I first got retail. I still have my first BL folder. (mac doesnt auto update, you have to download each version manually), those days were so fun, I guess our first days were so fun cause we was just getting used to things. but the fun lasted a whole long time. I still got Space Guys first events mod and bot mod.

lol, that first folder I have is version 1.031m

v8 and v9 were my glory versions. Mostly v8 cause that's when I joined. stuff was simple, and it was fun. Simplicity is greatness. Nothing wrong with the new weapons, but IMO I'd prefer the older no reload no animation infinite ammunition guns. Where all the guns sounded like the default gun. good ol days.

I joined V12

Got good on V16

I agree, but due to popular demand, I have to update my Deathmatches and Dogfights so they have T+T 2, otherwise, players won't come to my servers.

v8 was good because there were a whole bunch of "friendly" players that were nice and didn't say "omg noob i ban you for spamming k?"
