Sure losing terrains and maps won't be fun, but....

If your computer cannot handle the new effects, you can simply turn them off. Terrains and interiors are not going to be kept in the game and toggable, because they cause problems with the engine and they simply need to go so Blockland can get more updates and improvements.
Every time someone is blindly defending terrains and interiors, and saying we need to keep them no matter what, you basically don't want Blockland to get anymore updates and improve. Terrains and interiors are the reason we barely get engine updates like the Brick Physics update, and every other update is just adding a default add-on.

For every one person that is against the update, there are 3.10 people (I figured you'd want the actual figure) who support it. That means that ~76% of Blockland is for the update (Real figure is simplified to 0.7563). It's also inevitable.

Also, like people said before, this update will help better updates come in the future, sorry for making a lame "I Hate v21" topic before this, thanks for reading,
Bisjac:
i like engine updates that will allow us more brick limits, so that i can build the massive cool maps we want.
we dont need a premade world, this is blockland, we can build it.

That is true, but like I said above...

It would take MUCH more effort than needed to make them, and they would look horrible, because it would be so hard to simulate that stuff. Also, how would skis be fun anymore? I know there are ramps, but there is no way, if they release this update, that it would be as fun as the slopes, plus, it would be much more rough to ride on.

Interiors and terrains are not being cut simply because kompressor feels like it. There are important reasons to do this.
Also, this poll will be identical to the several other polls floating around here.
CityRPG:
Why do people defend interiors?
With the slate concept we'll still be able to set up environments. Space, the ocean, purgatory, hell -- it doesn't matter.
We lose the bedroom, we gain graphics and rid ourselves of an antiquated system.
Think of all the new players that will join because the game looks better. Think of the new money allowing Badspot to expand further. Think of all the cool stuff we'll get as a result.
