Your idea is a 9k, how would you know what v8 was like.
indyjones:
Can all of us older folks agree v8 were the days?
Sheath:
I'm a v8er and I enjoyed that time a lot.
It wasn't "better" though. It is just a rose tinted past for most people. It was nicer for some because it was a smaller community, there was a free market of mods (which was good and bad), and there was just less bullstuff.
People RP'd better. CityRPGs in v8 were basically just a city build and a cash mod which was tied together by the willing roleplay of the players. Where as now you get over produced mods and idiots who bounce around asking "how can i get moeny pls" and missing the whole point.
Blockland now is great because of events, the bug fixes and improvements, the better file download system when connecting to servers, punch packets and UPnP, and many other things.
I think v8 was just the best of Blockland before it took the next step in its evolution. In my mind v8 to v9 was about as big of a milestone as Vanilla to Retail. I believe v21 is going to be the equivalent of v9 for the generation of players now.

People hosted good ones back then, with very few family RP, city RP, etc. Most of the servers were TDM or free build servers with good admins, and although we didn't have as many good weapons as we do now it still was fun.

Going back to v8 won't bring back the servers and people you used to play with so it's still a bad idea to go back to it

it's because back then you were 4-3 years younger.
you probably didn't look at things with such a mature eye as now. I can't enjoy a family RP now, but 3 years ago i loved 'em.
