Jeez just make a separate installation of a past version if you hate this update so much. This update is coming no matter what, so adapt.

For one I am not for change, however, if it is beneficial then I am always up for it.
The only times I doubt change is when you have to sacrifice things for it, which in this case, that's one of those times.

I do not like the fact, and obviously nobody else does, that the update deletes maps.
Terrain and Interiors are what has made Blockland fun and creative (talking about maps here) for years.
You can't just expect to get rid of maps because of some shadows. To me it seems like risking too much.

Another thing is that it would ruin vehicles and skis.
Vehicle physics have always messed up in Blockland.
If you drive fast into a brick, your vehicle will go into it and its just a huge mess.
And skis, you can't ski over bricks because its not smooth and wont feel the same as it was in slopes.

If your telling me that all of these things are worth getting rid of for some sort of "new year 2012 change" bullstuff, then I don't understand Blockland anymore.

I fully agree with this. Blockland is fine the way it is. It doesn't need shadows to make the game look better. It's a game that consists of blocks. I've been playing Blockland for a while now and I've been fine without shadows, come to think of it, I never even thought of the idea of shadows coming into the game. I believe that people might not see it now, but in the future they'll soon regret wanting this update. I play Blockland a lot and this update will definitively reduce my playing time. I realize that I'm saying this just for myself, but I just don't like the idea of destroying one of Blockland's main strong points. If you kept the terrains and interiors with the shadow update that would be fine. But I don't think it's worth taking away this kind of content that the game holds in order to make it better.

That's just rude

But Nobot, you realize they aren't being remove JUST to add shadows and shading right? They're being removed to allow for more features

What you say about the vehicles and skis are true, but Kompressor is most likely well aware of this and will either A) have something prepared for this or B) Trust the modding community to do something about it

Vehicle collision is going to be greatly improved, but is kinda moot now since all you have are bricks now. Which are very hard to make drivable.

If vehicles are skis get fixed I will support the update, but so far nothing has been mentioned and it is beginning to worry me.

Exactly, Vehicles wont even have a purpose besides driving, but "OH dont hit anything! or you might glitch through!" Racing servers are dead, just like my server.
