Crazy is a shameless troll. There was a drama backfire on him, where it was uncovered how he spammed the Boss Battles server with research links and other messages of the sorts, insulted players etc.
Go away Crazy.
How does that have any relation to the topic?
In my opinion, a game that's been going for 10 years is long enough for a game. Since Badspot had put Blockland on steam, everyone suddenly thought the game was suddenly new again. This is what I don't get. I don't understand how, because a 10 year old game is on steam, it's suddenly classified as new. People expect more players whilst other people are leaving because they've played the game until they were bored of the game. Other people don't leave, but take breaks, sometimes long breaks. This is where the Add-on system kicks in. One reason why Badspot added the add-on system is so the game survives longer, as he doesn't have to make new things in the game, and even though you can't modify the engine with it, it still is extremely laid back, I haven't seen any other game that laid back on the add-ons part than Blockland, the closest I could think of is Gmod. Not just that, but it's easy to install the add-on. With Minecraft, you have to modify the main game files (.jar) to enable mods. Blockland is a simple download + move. No, it's not as simple as pressing a button and it's downloaded, but it's surely not modifying the game.
This allows for great flexibility with how you can add stuff to the game. He also created it because then he can focus on other games, not just Blockland. Also, playing games. Yes, he is getting paid to do this (keys), but Blockland, mostly because of the community (add-ons) is a big game, so the $20 I paid was worth it, and the $5 that people pay now is once again, worth it. Badspot made a great game, but that was in 2004. I'm really surprised he's actually bothering to look after the forums after everyone moaning at him. After 10 years I doubt Badspot has any motivation for the game, and I understand that. What was the biggest project you've done? Did it start 10 years ago? Are you still doing it now? Want to know why RTB was shut down? Ephi was an starfish, and was expecting that a game that is 10 years old should still be worked on, even though I think it's gone on long enough. I can literally imagine somebody else in a few months time doing a paragraph like this again, just because of a game that's too old.
In short, the game is at the time where it should die, but can revive itself if Badspot gets any motivation to continue Blockland.
