Blockland Today - The Fun Is Missing... Or is it?
SWAT One:
--- Quote from: Tammy on February 23, 2012, 10:42:53 PM ---This is exactly why you all think the game sucks. The older members all think that the game needs to be played in certain way. More of new members missing out on true points of interest.
It's a loving sandbox game. People can play and use things how they want. Sure, 1x1 houses can be annoying and should be discouraged if posted in the gallery, but they work fine if someone needs to throw together a quick built to DM or RP in. It's still impractical. To save someone the emotional pain, would it be better to educate them?
The people who are playing the game don't need your tutorials, they are already having fun how they play the game. I've seen new players come, play and leave, claiming to be wasting their $20. They deserve their money's worth.

Older members dislike TDMs and Knife DMs because they have played a while and seen too much of them, while younger members are new and see this gamemodes to be fun because they never put up with them for 2 years. Once they play blockland longer, they will see that they get very boring quickly and blockland should not have much of them.

I would also like to add that most help topics are help on why a mod breaks their Blockland or Server.
Tammy:
You still don't get it. It's not our job to determine how the new players should play. Let them have fun how the like.
It's just like imperialism. The younger members ways of playing may seem "savage" to us, but that doesn't mean they aren't content with playing how they like, and it certainly doesn't mean we need to control how they play.
Conan:
Hosting Server tuts sounds good. I'm pretty sure not even all the popular hosts know everything to hosting.
It would also help get rid of that "family/city RP" and "free admin plz come" spam.

Personally I agree with this; but it only applies to the younger members.
