v21, you're either with or against it.

I'd like to point something out

Mapping is so glitchy and difficult that it needs its own board for help. Maybe using terragen would be a good thing instead.

It would probably be possible if they spent 18 months re-coding the game engine. When badspot created the game using an engine from 2001, he was set with Blockland since 2004 up until now and even a couple more years to come. But some day updating will be required, if he upgrades now or sooner than he will be set for all the years the old engine gave him and A LOT more. Plus we could probably keep shadows and terrain, look at the terrain the new torque engine supports.

I wasn't sure at first but I think it's a good thing. We're not just getting shadows and shaders, it'll be easier to update the game and much more

Every time there is an update there's always a few laggards who think the old way was better. They blindly argue against change. Well guess what friends: the reason we don't live in loving caves today is because people like you lost that argument every generation over and over for the last 400,000 years. You would stymie all of civilization for your own pathetic power trip. You are nothing but a human speed bump.
Here's a taste of cold reality: When people are free to host their own servers, they probably won't join yours. That's because you're an starfish. The only reason people ever tolerated you was because they simply had no other choice. Your power monopoly is gone. Social adeptness and creativity are the new measures of success. You will not be able to succeed in the new order because you do not possess either of these qualities.

Will re-post here.
