Why does MC have more players than BL when we were made first?

[Skorpion]

They are both loving good games with both ups and downs.

Blockland is good and so is Minecraft.
Skorpion likes minecraft better than blockland but likes these forums.

Yeah. Both good games, but minecraft is more popular.

[Ad Bot]

[-Pablo-]

Yeah. Both good games, but minecraft is more popular.

It's popular so it's better!

[RagnaTheBroedge]

Yeah. Both good games, but minecraft is more popular.

jesus CHRIST
i probably wouldn't mind this loser's opinion if he wasn't so bloody stupid

[Tomcat]

Yeah. Both good games, but minecraft is more popular.

okay, uh, let's see, call of duty is one of the most popular games in the world right now, but did that make it THE best game in the world?
no, infact, it's kinda stuff even though it has some redeeming qualities.

Minecraft has let's plays, blockland does not. If we made more blockland related media we could market the game the same way minecraft did, by using third party entertainment. I can see why we don't do this, considering blockland has no survival aspect to make the let's play funny. I guess a step by step on a massive build would be interesting, but the only things that would get real viewers is something like a bar crawl of servers with a related theme.

so op thinks thats how business works? you simply earn success based on time?

personally i like our community as it is, and a larger community would be a pain to moderate and control for baddy

In Blockland when you get attacked its no big deal.
On Minecraft you loving panic as you will lose your stuff.
Combat is pretty good for a game like this.
Nothing wrong with the controls. Millions of people use them fine.
You don't need any more mobs than there already is.
Weapons are swords and bows. There a mods if you want more.

You are just acting ignorant. You haven't justified your opinion. Saying that your opinion is better without actually proving any of it isn't justifying it.

Because there are other game modes besides live in a house forever then die.
The combat in minecraft is so boring and everyone fights the same way.

Lots of handicaps running around. A solution would be an oldcigarette offtopic that only people registered before the boom would be able to post in. All baddy would have to do is get a few trust worthy forum or sectional moderators and the forums would be fine.

[Visage]

I have no idea why Blockland isn't like 1 mil + players. It is better than minecraft in every single imaginable way and I would argue it is the best game ever created. Blockland is the ultimate sandbox with an add-on system incorporated it really has no limitations, if you were so inclined you could make minecraft on blockland.

[CoolKoopaTroopa]

Way to go into detail how about the combat and controls are bad. Are we playing the throw insults about game mechanics without explaining how they are bad game?

You know what? There was a good thread explaining all of this in the Minecraft forum.

I'm actually coming up with an arguement that isn't just insulting everyone else, whilst most of the people saying that blockland is a better game are just saying stuff is stuff without saying why. Take CoolKoopa for example.

l
I don't need one.

[Soukuw]

Because one is a buggy pile of barely working code and the other is pretty damn solid.

Makes sense.

Blockland just doesn't get the attention it should. It may be the idea of using your standard bricks, being an so called "unoriginal" idea although it was started  really early. No idea why it's the unoriginal. Minecraft on the other hand isn't like legos or anything. It's more like gigantic blocks you have to deal with a (currently) mildly difficult modding system. I guess. I haven't played around with it because I don't know coding too much. Plus they marketed much better and it got a lot of attention very early.
