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

[Corbiere]

How can Minecraft after 1.8 be less repetitive than Minecraft before 1.8 if the only thing that's really worse is the terrain? I mean, there's far more content and stuff, the only thing it lacks are the crazy landscapes which do get boring after a while.

And stop comparing Minecraft to Roblox; completely different games other than 'building'.

minecraft is easy for younger kids to get right into and it looks better to some people because it does have a really nice terrain generator

while blockland has to be completely built by players besides maps (for now)

other than that I have no idea other than notch got lucky

i still stand by my original argument of;

Asking this is like asking why Africa has more black people than Compton.

pls explain your philosophy to me
it isn't obvious or anything

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.

blockland isn't just 1 game mode you tard. in some game modes you CAN panic if there is a death penalty.

1
the sandbox aspect of minecraft is ages too young to be on the same level as blockland.
2
minecraft multiplayer is a load of crap. the mobs still bounce around like they did years ago. there is still a ton of lag due to poor networking which shouldn't be there for a game out of beta. the fact that you need anti-hack mods (which are crap) it handicapped.
3
Minecraft in a modding view is limited as well. You can't stretch out of the theme it has, and zombie mods and such generally look bad. THe art-style is limited to the survival aspect and looks handicapped with guns.

looks handicapped

where blockland can stretch out of the default theme. For example, minecraft can be created in blockland, but blockland cannot be created in minecraft.

they are botch equal
"one has stuff graphics and the other has a stuff community."

They both have stuff communities... The whole world is a stuff community. And because of terrains and interiors... both have stuff graphics.

i don't really have a philosophy. more rather it's just comparing 2 of the same things to one another.

majority of BL players have minecraft
minecraft is more popular, thus it has more users.
it's luck of the draw. there's millions of indie games out there, some have 10 players, some have 100, some have 1000, some have 1,000,000. who knows.

10/10 i bite.

most of the games with 1000 players are probably better than minecraft...

Minecraft is severely underdeveloped. Jeb is adding a lot more content, which I enjoy, along with the single player LAN update, but there's a lot of stuff that has to be fixed which isn't being fixed.

[Chrono]

Including the survival concept itself.

[ultimamax]

Including the survival concept itself.

Definitely. Flat, predictable mobs, limited weapon choice. The mobs that are supposed to be "scary" (enderman, creeper) aren't scary. At all. There are only two weapons. If you saw that thread on minecraft forums, that's pretty much what they need to do, but the thing could do some work.

[Butler]

They marketed it better.

This is entirely the reason why Minecraft is more popular.

From what I understand Badspot is not too big in the marketing department.

and they have a female as one of their main advertisers
if badspot got a hot girl to advertise blockland, he would be rich
but instead he sticks to ugly ads
