Quote Story:
How long have you been playing the game?
Maybe a few three to four years.
What is the game generally about?
It's like playing legos on the internet with friends. You pretty much build everything in the game and play with it.
How do you get and start the game?
You go to "www.Blockland.us" and then you can either buy the demo or the game itself for twenty dollars. Twenty dollars may sound steep but you won't regret it.
What do you do in the game?
You play with other people or yourself and build things to a castle, to a house, to a city. There is an entire gallery of this amazing stuff. If you are not interested in building, you can play on someone's server and play their game instead. You could fight zombies, race against people from online and many other cool stuff.
What is your general opinion of the game?
One of the greatest games I played of all time. There is always stuff to do in the game with an active fanbase to help keep the game going. However, I sometimes frown upon the community sometimes.
Has the game influenced your actual life?
It had made me become more mature to people. It made me love a game so much that I want to make one when I grow up. Just make a game like Blockland and slap the name "Blockland 2" Done. Life complete from then on.
and why do you like the game?
It's a game about legos. Legos was my life bro.

Joekirk:
Q:How long have you been playing the game?
A: On and off for roughly four years.

Q: What is the game generally about?
A: At first glance, Blockland appears to be (and is) a creativity toy.
It is also much more then that, which I will touch on later.

Q: How do you get and start the game?
A: Currently, you can purchase the game at http://blockland.us/Store.html
but in the future you may also be able to purchase it on Steam, if the game gets green lit.

Q:What do you do in the game?
A: Pretty much anything. Honestly.
Some days I just join server after server, taking in all the unique things people have created.
Other days, I go about creating my own little machines, using the robust event-ing system.
Most days, I just start building something, anything, until I feel it is complete.
Some times it's a small, but highly interactive tent, others it's an entire city. Made out of jello. Because I'm hungry.

Q: What is your general opinion of the game?
A: Blockland is an extremely enjoyable creativity toy, with unlimited possibilities for adventure!
It's longevity, I feel, is it's greatest strength. With a very active modding community, there is always something new to mess around with,
so you can stop playing for a few months and come back, and it'll be a whole new experience.

Q: Has the game influenced your actual life?
A: Quite a lot, actually!
For one, I've met a large network of great friends over the years playing the game, whom I still keep in touch with today.

From a very young age, video games interested me. I would play them for hours at a time(And still do), and over time I started wondering more about what was going on inside them, my main reason for learning how to read was knowing the story of the games I so greatly enjoyed.
So, video games taught me how to read.

Blockland, taught me how to write.
Now, the community can be real harsh at times, as with most of the internet and one of the first things people will berate you for is poor spelling.
Seeing this, I took the time to visit the game's forum, where I would post regularly. Taking mental notes of the way people structured their posts(and messages in game), always improving my spelling whenever someone corrected it. Had it not been for me purchasing this game four years ago, I wouldn't spell nor type nearly as well as I do today. Of this I am very thankful.

Q: and why do you like the game?
A: Now, that's the granddaddy of them all, isn't it?
It's a very difficult question to answer and I'm afraid I cannot give just one reason.

I like it, because I can express my own creativity in fun environment.
I like it, because I can socialize with a large pool of very, uh, 'interesting' characters.
I like it, because I can help others learn, either teaching people new and creative ways to build, or to event giant death rays to taken over the earth their own 'mini games'.
I like it, because I can spray paint people purple.
I like it, because as long as I still have ideas, there's still something new to build or experience.
I like it, because I can spray paint people purple.

Mr.Noßody:

5 years

What is the game generally about?
Blockland, the game were you build stuff. Completely open source, addons are widely made and distributed making game play change daily. Almost like a Lego styled Garry's Mod.

How do you get and start the game?
I learned about Blockland through one of my friends who found the game through one of their ads.

What do you do in the game?
I build. I build whatever I please.

What is your general opinion of the game?
It can never become boring as long as you build. The thousands of addons for Blockland make the game experience change each time. The server hosting service is intuitive, the server setup menu is simple and easy to use and the game itself is self explanatory letting new players not feel lost.

Has the game influenced your actual life?
No, it's a game.
and why do you like the game?
You can literally do anything: Build up a map, event it to react with players, use vehicles, weapons, game modes, mini games, anything you can think of you can create.
