A few games don't let regular players host. Therefore, it is a privilege.

Try harder.

stop putting words in my mouth

im saying that being able to create a server is a privilege

Alright than, let people make servers even if they don't have the "privileges" or "deserve it." The good players will know enough not to attempt to start a server so soon, and sort through them all and find the good ones. The good ones will be popular.

Let me tell you guys a story.

I bought this game was back when it was in version 8. Back then, my BLID (1897) was considered really high, and therefore I was a Bad Player. Due to this (as well as the community in general being stuff), I stopped playing Blockland.

I eventually came back way later, when a friend of mine showed me some of the cool things now possible in Blockland, like events and such.

I quickly discovered that people with BLIDs in the 10k region were considered the new gold standard of "Good Players", and that my BLID instantly meant that I was some sort of Blockland sage with years of experience under my belt. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that some of the best builders and members of the community were people with BLIDs that, back when I joined, would've been laughed at.

My point is that treating Blockland like your secret clubhouse is incredibly bullstuff, and trying to give pre-steam users some sort of extra privilege is really loving dumb.

Then again this community is so loving horrible I'm not surprised to see these suggestions

Truest story ever.

Who cares if we suddenly get a large wave of noobs? Most of them will learn the basics within a month or two. Some of them may even be the greatest builders we've ever see, or the best content creators!

the group of people being all of us

a while ago you had to go through a butt-load of painful port-forwarding just to get your server up, now the privilege is handed to you on a golden platter

please don't hit me
