Now before you dissmiss this as a whiner thread, listen. I can understand that the community is currently divided into two sides. I can understand why people hate V21 and why people like V21. I can understand that we need to move on. But if you give no people no option to choose what version they like, a lot of people will not like the forcing of new updates. For example, Google forcing Google+ and the One Channel on the Youtubers was a bad idea. And removing everything that people like without giving them an option to choose will turn the Blockland Community into the Genwunners of online gaming. And now this isn't just for the people who liked the maps, this is for the people who liked the REAL first Blockhead design (not the Lego Minifig, I like the Minifig but we can't use it for copyright reasons) and for the people who like Shaders. As you can see, I am not charging into this like a rabid Fanboy. I am simply anaylizing the community and comparing the admin's behavior to other behaviors of groups of people (Not ment to insult the admins in any way).
And how will my idea work, you may ask? Before the game loads, there is an option to choose the Blockland Launcher Era BL or the V7-V19 era BL. After you selected the era, you choose what version you want (IE: V14) and then the version you want loads up.
And now onto anaylizing. Kompressor's action are very similar to Google's actions. Allow me to explain this. When Kompressor removed maps, he gave us no option to play with V20 or V21, thus causing havoc in the Blockland community. 11 moths later, Google removed the Cosmic Panda channel layout and gave the youtubers no option to choose from the One Channel and the Cosmic Panda, causing the Youtubers to rebel against Google. But what if we had an option to choose V21 or v20? How would the community react? Later on, Badspot removed all links to previous versions and replaced them with links to v21, similar to Google patching all the hacks to swtich channel layouts. (And yes, I do realize I was only talking about maps there).
So, what do you think of my idea? Tell me what's wrong with my idea and what's right with it instead of saying '''OMG STAHP TRYIN 2 BRING MAPZ BAKZ)
