Back to School, Back to Reality. Our futures and Blockland's

[Hyaku.]

So I go back too school in like, a day and a half. Freshmen year, pretty excited.
I'm thinkin I'm gonna hang up the blockhead for a few years.

But I started thinkin, what would Blockland be like in four years?
I saw this topic a few minutes ago, Blockland is $4.99 on Amazon
http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=239228.0
And in that same topic are quotes like this:

I really find it hard to agree with that. There's no way this game would be worth $40, in my opinion. Especially since we're lacking players right now because a lot of us have left. Maybe when (and if) the community grows again, it might be worth more.

I think this game is worth no more than $4.99 right now. Back in the older times when it was more active, it was worth more the money. This game is kind of sitting steady in between the point of collapse and the point of growth. So far, I feel like we're going neither direction until something new comes around. However, with all of this stuff going on that's piling on more work for Badspot, I fear our chances of an update anytime soon are very slim.

I'm gonna try and leave for four years for school, but from stuff like this I'm wondering what will be here if and when I return.
I kinda felt like if i ever took an extended break everything would be space-agey and white and we'd have 100Ker players or some Back-to-the-future style crap like that, but is it realistic to think we will get past BLID 60,000?
Maybe if Blockland stays on sale for a while we can, but what good is cheapness if the people that only buy it because its cheap leave after a month?

Blockland's a great game and was worth the $20 for me, what's wrong with it?

Yeah I was afraid of that xD

You'll be back. Anyway there's not much behind Moonstar's claims in my opinion.

[Slammer1337]

Blockland is like a drug. You'll come back for more. Just look at Glass and some other people.

The question isn't wether or not I'll be back, because you're right.
The question is about the future of blockland.
Moonstar may not have much credibility, but blockland is $5
That's pretty low for such a great game highly addictitive drug

Likely the only thing that will majorly happen is more players cause of greenlight.
And bug fixes.
Vehicle physics fix.
And more cool addons
But over 4 years a lot could happen, maybe nothing too major though.

but is it realistic to think we will get past BLID 60,000?

Well we already have 50,000 blids, right?
With greenlight happening it will happen in no time.


I have a feeling I'll be sticking with blockland for a long time.

It's just a sale.

Just imagine how it feels to be people who has been playing for four years. 20k came out and they were literally the "noobs". That's way back in v15, I joined in v13ish. (14745). After seeing blockland grow for almost four successful years I can only wonder what four more years would be, but that's because during my four years everything that needed to be updated and made happened, now we're kind of scraping the barrel of updates and finding less and less creativity. We've gotten everything we need safe the special graphics and shadows.

I'm going into a really advanced academy, I hope I have enough time to maintain globeservers.
