| What is your idea of a perfect server? |

| otto-san:
a well-designed RPG with a lot of effort put into it and tailored to fit blockland specifically instead of riding off the ideas of other games |
| BlockoBlocko:
- No shop - Good vehicles - Good weapons - No overpowered weapons - No bullstuff explosives - Nice admins - Good build, with medium brickcount - Lag free - No glitches An example of this would be Jorgur's Dogfight, Pecon7's Boss Battles and Heedicalking's TDM. |

The internet is not perfect. Glitches are common and are generally fixed. Don't be like "omg i can escape the map this server sucks!!!1!" 9/10 servers require cooperation. Shops provide players a reason to save up points and buy better weapons or something random. You're an idiot for saying shops are bad.

the purpose of shops on servers is to tempt players with the promise that if they stay on the server long enough, eventually they too will get something powerful and get to terrorize all the people who can't afford whatever weapon they're using it's basically being given fake assurance that you're doing well in exchange for you sticking around it's a really gimmicky and underhanded way to make sure people are addicted to your server, and thus keep them around long enough to promote more people joining the server. it's also really stuff game design because you're giving one group of people that are supposed to be on roughly equal ground with everyone else way more powerful weapons on purpose that's fine for a little while (see: ubercharge, powerups in other games) but the fact that you can then keep your power-up means that you can just lord that stuff over everyone else until they either get bored and leave or stick around and propagate the cycle and besides, not nearly that many servers require cooperation (and in fact most servers actually are competitive), not every server is on the ball with glitches, and being able to escape the map does mean the server sucks because people outside the map can harass the players inside in ways the map maker didn't intend |
