Author Topic: BL Rant  (Read 2403 times)

I don't really feel like making one of my nice organized topics, and I kinda just wanna list out all that's sort of going wrong lately:
-  Tophius's new update to wedge bricks removed the 1x1 bricks, and the new bricks aren't even that critical to have. On top of that, the update changed the orientation of ALL of his bricks, so even the bricks that did stay, are now facing the wrong direction.
-  Lately servers have been pretty stuffty, the only notable servers worth playing on being pecon's boss battles (which has like 4 people so it's hardly functional), Kris's mini empires and potentially Tezuni's (don't gimme crap about that, I personally don't like going there because the entire admin team turned against me and let power get to their heads.)
-  the community seems to be slowly dying. I see fewer and fewer people online, and fewer of my friends are online. People are losing interest in the game.

I'm most upset about the corner bricks but I know tophius is working on it

The reason the community is dying is because there is nothing to explore on a flat land. (No, this is not a V21 hate post)

The Cliques have been choking the life out of the community for a while. V21 had a large impact, also.

The only reason you don't like Tezuni's is because of the admin team?

There are plenty of good servers out there and i'm pretty sure the community is become more active now.

I went on my phone to browse the forums to take a look and stroll around, then I had to get my iPad out to type all this up, because I have some things to explain.
You're moaning about an add-on which you can either choose to use or not, if you don't like it, delete it and wait for tophius to update it, it's not a big issue, you're just making it look like that when it clearly isn't, we all know add-ons can get affected by major updates like there has been in the last year.
Second, why are you moaning about stuffty servers? Why don't you spend your time and make one yourself? I don't know about you but many of us have a life to live rather than spending most of our time on the internet, building servers for pleasure. I don't think any servers are stuff, at all. It totally depends on what standards you have and what genre of gaming you like, depending on whether you like DM's, racing servers, or whatever the forget tickles your fancy.
The community isn't dying at all, we may have lost a lot of users when we first got shaders due to compatability issues and whatnot, but that doesn't mean the community is dying, at all. I think that people are joining every day to replace the oldcigarettes within this community, it isn't bad at all. It was like when you was new, oldcigarettes at that time were loosing interest in the game. I had a 2 year break from this game, people might just be having breaks. Or it's possibly to do with work and school, not everyone has spare time to play on brick games.

Hmmmm. I think nerraD just logic'd you to hell and back.

Also about the friends thing, there's a workaround: get new ones

Pecon7's Boss Battles is stuff with the new map now. Tezuni's server is one of the main reasons why Blockland is still fun for me.

Lol I don't really mind, and I did say I was aware he's fixing the issue. I just felt like writing a rant.

Eh, it's kinda my fault. I had been an admin for 4 months, and someone added a new rule "no insulting admins." personally I think it's a bullstuff rule and a lot f the admins turned into giant pussies with that rules creation. Over my entire four months, you could toss names around (jokingly) and nobody would care. I got on and jokingly insulted TheAlphaAdmin, and he had me de-admined and banned for insulting him.

His call I guess, and technically I wasn't following rules, but amongst regulars I was a favorite of the admin team.

Maybe it's hitting a dip due to the fact the exam periods are approaching and school is becoming a bit more of a priority for some players?

Could be wrong. But I do get where you're coming from, it does feel a little drab on the server list lately ;-;

Tezuni's (don't gimme crap about that, I personally don't like going there because the entire admin team turned against me and let power get to their heads.)
Hold up. Aren't you the muscularly fellow with the broken nose? I like you :D And if not, I certainly don't dislike you. Weren't you admin on tezuni's?

EDIT: That was Atlas I was thinking of, anywho I do remember you a wee bit. I recall no problems with you as admin, and I liked you as an admin, so why you were de-admined is beyond me.

People playing at 12 AM/PM: "omg blockland is dying!"
People playing between 3-10 PM: "this game is so fun and popular!"

Hmmm...

I WAS an admin, I was the guy who made the pong projectile sign the spelled out "ADINX IS GAY"
Not sure who your thinking of

And yeah the server is still fun, it's just difficult going back because most of the admins tease me about being de-admined. I just remove my chat lines an play without looking for chat.

I played from 10am to 7pm EST. I would guess there were maybe 150 people online yesterday.

Thats a good point.

I know of no reason why you were de-admined, if you will discuss it with me, there is a good chance i'll give you your admin back. It will have to be late this afternoon though, im about to go to class.

I agree partly but mostly in a different manner.

The game itself has mostly died off in interest for me, not due to it not being a great game, but rather the community surrounding it.

Zay had a cool server up yesterday, you probably missed it.
