So about the removal of terrains...
Mysteroo:
The only limits that really bothers me are the light and vehicle limit. Very few people ever build anything that hits the brick limit anyways, so why increase it? I haven't heard much complaints about datablocks either, so why increase that?
As for the updates, I think a lot of the updates that came that were difficult to do with interiors came out with v21. Since then we've had a lot of minor updates, yes. But there's nothing wrong with that. While it's good to focus on bigger things first and then the smaller, you have to focus on the smaller things sometime or they'll never get done. And when better than right after the huge shader update?
Plus bots aren't exactly a small update. I don't know since I don't make add-ons, but I wouldn't be at all suprised if Badspot had to go in and change some of Blockland's core functioning in order to get Bots to work right. And that's something you can't just do with an add-on.

i know that. im saying that graphics have been updated. them being ugly means nothing when badspot can just up the max texture size and make them have more subdivisions. a minor task compared to all the other things he's done. its not like them being ugly is a permanent thing that can't be changed.

I kind of agree, although removing a good part of the game was a step forward, it made a lot of people leave. Those people being the lazy forgets who would put 30 bricks on a map like spyglass and call it "good".
And yes, ALL of these new updates in fact, would or could have been community made projects. Shadows would take a hell of a time to make, and would require tweaks to the engine like crazy. And yes, game modes could have been an addition or add-on, take RTB for example. RTB is a quicker way to download user created mods and add-ons
and there could have been for a faster way to host something similar to which we have today.
Terrain will always be a pure aspect of this game, as it sparked adventure in those maps. The first time I found a secret in bedroom I called all my friends to only find out that they already knew it lol.
