Author Topic: What will happen when Blockland gets 1 million players  (Read 2864 times)

Every time I load any save, every time I see the admin menu I see BL:ID's 888888 and 999999 (iirc)

What will happen when the population hits 1 million?

No offence to people, but it won't ever, unless it takes a HUGE sale spike, or becomes Free 2 Play. Which will never happen either.

There's not actually anybody with those ID's, lol

Of course not. If they existed Blockland would pretty much already have 1 million players.

Badspot has the key distribution system set up in such a way that it can skip distributing certain ID values (we know because he has done it before with a couple of ID's). Those reserved numbers will just be skipped.

Those IDs are LAN (999999) and Public (888888).
IDs have been skipped before.
Besides, we have more important problems, like what if we actually get over 999999 IDs? Torque can't handle over 6 digits.

2014: Blockland ID system switches to hexadecimal.

We will know what came first: the chicken or the egg


I will post a Self Delete topic then actually do it.
One million idiots all on one game is too many idiots.

implying that everyone on here is an idiot.


I think we'll still be fun, but the community would be likely to downgrade.
If we went on Steam, then it'd be very possible for us to gain so many players. We could gain a lot of players too if we were free to play.

all hell would break lose.
