Official Blockland Cloud Pricing
In happier news, Emperor Kalphiter has given us the prices he is setting for Blockland Cloud.

It's so bloated, and especially on Macs it barely functions properly, especially with startup updates

Plus, I prefer keeping my few Steam games (Bastion and the standard Valve stuff) separate

Plus, I don't need a reason to not use Steam

don't know steam runs fine for me
then again i don't use macs, i completely hate them

I don't think some of you quite understand. RTB is not making this crazy awesome migration, nor is it making an obscure come back or upgrading or whatever you guys seem to [desperately] think. It's shutting down on the date specified. There won't be a reprogramming of it and the source code is also not coming out; it won't be merged with Blockland in any way as far as I know. There are a number of personal reasons I've been informed of as to why RTB is closing down and I'm sure they'll become clear some way or another over time. Steam will cover you assuringly as best it can.

EDIT: I have opened up an IRC chat station on Mibbit. The channel is #blocklandchat. This should work for the mean time as a means to converse.

You're being pretty vague for a reason, I'll assume.  What can you tell us? Was this a move independent of badspot?

Not trying to be a richard though. I would also like to see it back, but I want to see proof of this.

It is honestly not that bad, because eventually someone will just release a mod similar to RTB, but would probably use a free IRC thingy like Kiwi or something lol.

This.

And we should have an API for that for whatever reason we feel like.
Maybe a whois mod or something like that.

The only way Ephi was able to allow people to see name history of any player was through RTB.
So I don't think this would work.
Anyway, shameless self-advertising: http://webchat.voltirc.com:9090/?channels=%23rtb (the old channel RTB used to use)
CentralChat is now VoltIRC btw (proof)

[Blockzillahead]

ephi has the whole database, he needs to give that to badspot so he can use it
