v21, you're either with or against it.

would much rather see a really nice build than a really stuffty terrain.

Don't use a stuffty terrain? There ARE good terrains out there. Don't just focus on the ones of those who make bad ones.

I will miss it but i've been waiting for an update like this.

We all have. But nobody was expecting to lose terrains and interior.

[KoopaScooper]

I'll miss some good times and things on Bedroom and such maps, but we're still using graphics from 2001. An update has been long overdue. People sometimes just complain over everything. I understand it's losing something that was important, but don't be afraid to change. "But it will become Roblox" is an preposterous statement, you're not going to be paying money for character customization in the next update, it's not turning into Roblox. Plus:

I don't know why only now people have started acting like as if terrain and interiors are terrifying monsters, nobody complained until now.

[KoopaScooper]

That's because removal was out of the question until now.

RPGs will all die!

Uh, no. Way back in v9, I made a completely brick, completely event Medieval RPG on Slate.

[Thorax]

While we will lose quite a bit in the way of terrain and interiors, it's just another step for BL. This is going to force our creativity. Plus, better updates mean that a lot more can be added more quickly!

[FadedGlory]

You have to think! Most people who play this game can't build. Without interiors or terrains it would make people even more unmotivated!

[KoopaScooper]

Last time I checked, nobody is against them to the point that all maps (that aren't slate) are stupid. Some are very nice looking. I feel bad to lose those few, but terrain and interiors appear to be using software shadow rendering. There are ideas already to replace these things should the update come out.

Map optimization > brick optimization
So those maps you have to "build" will be laggy as stuff compared to default maps.

You are very incorrect.  Terrain and interiors are a lot more expensive to render.  If you were to build one of Ghost's city maps out of bricks then compare it to the real thing, I guarantee you that the brick version will run faster.

[Scout31]

In order to make all this possible, though, we need to kill two old, slow features in Blockland: interiors and terrains.

These two features complicate Blockland’s code tremendously. That means we can’t add game features very quickly. They still have bugs in them (after years of work). They are slow, too - bricks are about 90% of their speed and can do a LOT more (explosions, events, in-game editing).

I do believe this says bricks are faster.
