What would you do if Badspot stopped updating Blockland?
MegaScientifical:
The other day, I was at my Field Biology Bio. They made the tests too easy, I finished early with everyone else. I started pondering how Blockland would run if Badspot died. Did he give enough stuff to someone to literally take up the game legally? I mean, source code, updated and functional.
By all my thought, I believe that if Badspot were to go, Blockland would stagnate and die. The master server would die first, and we'd need Kalph or someone to create a new master server and mod our games to work off of it. Maybe Ephi would help... But, in the end, we'd be lost. Could we continue buying accounts if his Paypal closes?

I'm pretty sure you couldn't.

If all that happened, I would still play on single player when I felt like it.
I've always figured that in the event of something like that a small third party Blockland community would emerge, sharing things built in single player and in general just keeping in touch, but that might be wishful thinking.
But wait, if the master server died, would our keys still be functional?
