I laughed
you could use images for each tip so you could not run out of space and even customize it a bit more
I was actually think of making some power points for a few things so that I don't run out of space.
I'll be putting them on Media Fire.

Added some stuff for Publishing Add-Ons and Choosing Servers to Join.

Publishing Add-Ons should include the non-RTB route.
Not everyone will want to upload via RTB. (Information for anyone new (since I assume they are if they need help joining a server) may also be to download and install RTB as an add-on and where they can do so)

Include mention of how a person can package their add-on and host it upon a file-hosting website. Examples would be helpful.

And then that they require to post a topic in the Add-Ons forum, where they should preferably post images of the Add-On, a description and any extra information as well as the link to the file in the hosting service.

The entire "Stay Away From" section is unfair.
Many new players will want to play all sorts of things.

Roleplay servers are not necesarilly FamilyRp's. A roleplay can be a proper and formal roleplay server which aren't as simple as assumed.
Also of note a person may enjoy a family rp. Which clearly people must since a lot of people host them and join them.

RPG's are not "just messed up servers". An RPG can be perfectly brilliant in Blockland. Stone Brick for example hosted brilliant RPGs. It entirely depends on who hosts them and how they go about it.

"<NAME>'s Blockland Server". Just because someone doesn't give their server a name does not mean it is bad. They may be doing something non-specific. They may be hosting it just for friends or anything else. That is no way to choose a server at all.

Servers with less than three players can be perfectly good. That is a ridiculous thing to say.
All servers will start off with only 1 player in them when they're hosted. By your standards if I open a new server I can never get anyone in it ever because no one will join because I have no one on to begin with.

The final one is the only acceptable one.

Equally important;

Servers with a low Ping do not at all mean that the server is high quality. You're just joining a server based upon connection. Ping should not be something that you use to decide a server to join, it should be a factor that comes into play when you want to join. For example, if I have a really a high Ping with that server, I might find it very laggy. This has nothing to do with the quality of the server.

Servers with more than 4 players may be just as equally poorly run as any server with 3 or fewer players.

And finally a server that has RTB does not make a good server. It doesn't come into play at all. Non-RTB users can still join anyway, as far as I'm aware. Whether they have RTB or not just means if they can use the other functions that RTB provides. Many good servers do not use RTB.
Badspot's Block Party for example.


If I were you I would skip out the entire section on "Choosing a Server to join". You're only going to have complete bias in what you type.
You can't tell someone what they enjoy and what they don't.
And the things you have listed are truly rubbish.

If you're making a topic called "Blockland Tips" then you shouldn't show bias, particularly in something as trivial as what sort of server a person will enjoy.

Okay, I didn't want to read the whole thing so...
I will include an alternate route incase someone doesn't want to upload it to RTB.
And I will get rid of the Choosing Servers to Join section.

I can see this being very helpful to lots of players.
Badspot might even put it in the top when its done!

Bump.
I got one of the power points done.
I've been very busy lately.
I'll have it on Media Fire soon.

Here it is:
Blockland_Tips_1X1_Prints.zip
The Power Point is on the .zip file.  I put it on the file to make it easier to download.

I refuse to join servers with over 300 ping. I understand distance causing higher ping but anything over 200 is just due to host's crap internet.

most important tip: have fun and adventure!!!
