The Golden Age of Blockland
Liquid:
And don't we know it!
Qazimoka:
Before, in v8, even tho I joined in v9, or 3 days before v10 came out..., back to my point. All the players were more together, we had a sence of We are blocklanders, now most of the low id's that were back then have left, and the newest Blocklanders think that Bl is on big giant Dm, where you kill everybody.
Ps: Back then, There was alot of Id racism and " The Roblox War" On some stupid servers
Iban:
The way I see it is simple:
Blockland is the most idealistic platform for testing game ideas and philosophy.
It's a game where map-making is as simple as building with legos. It has an add-on system built in and people are used to downloading massive amounts of content.
TorqueScript resembles PHP and is a C# derivative which means the syntax is virtually identical to most of the mainstream and high-in-demand programming languages out there. Not to mention, if you want to practice programming with work-arounds, look no further.
I have an audience of people hungry for ingenuity and novelty. I have a platform to run it on. It just makes sense to utilize it, even if the "brick building" aspect of a brick building game is entirely lost to me.
Liquid:
Building isn't everything, but as it's the game's main theme, I think it should be something which should be given more audience than weapons and maps.

People you could love.
People you could admire.
People you could respect.
Now?
Most 'celebrities' simply made some add-on, and yet somehow they are revered even if their personalities suck and they can't build.

Name some people? There's tons of people you can all make friends with, but most of you blow them off because they don't sit around posting crap on the forums or because you've never heard of them before.

No, children think blockland is a big DM. You seem to think all new players love only fighting. Fighting servers are at the top mainly because they are more fast paced than building, and not everyone can build well, but everyone can fight well enough to enjoy it.
There's this thing called rosy retrospection. It's when think the past was better than it actually was at the time. Playing in the old blockland days was no different than it is today, it's just that you give the past more credit than it deserves. Your memories appear to be more pleasant than they actually were, because they are memories. If you could re create a few of the memories today, without knowing that they previously happened, you would still probably think the older versions were better.
