Hello. I have decided to create a private building service.

Introduction
I made this service because lately, I've been bored in Blockland. There aren't many good servers up, I don't really have anything to do... So, I made this.

We are currently a free service. This will change as soon as I get better at building.

How it Works
You will tell me what package you want to use in the build, and then send me your Brick_ and Event_ and Print_ addons, and maybe Particle_, Light_, as well as Weapon_ and Item_ if you want a build that has items you can find, and any Gamemode_Slayer_ so that I can place Capture Points, Flags, etc. I will then use those addons and only those addons to make you the map that you want. I will then give you the download link, and if you are not happy with the map, then I will try to fix it.
Payments
For now it's free. But later:
The amount charged will depend on the map:
  • Small Map: base $1.00 USD
  • Medium Map: base $2.50 USD
  • Large Map: base $4.75 USD
  • Huge Map: base $7.00 USD
The base cost of the chosen map size will be modified based on how detailed you want your build:
  • No-Little Detail: +$0.00
  • Low Detail: +$0.50
  • Medium Detail: +$1.00
  • High Detail: +$2.50
  • Very Detailed: +$3.00
There are also price modifiers based on how soon you want the build done:
  • 1 Month +: +$0.00
  • 3 Weeks: +$0.25
  • 1 Week: +$0.75
  • 4 Days: +$1.25 (Not avalable for Huge map or Large map with High or Very High detail)
Here's an example: If somebody wanted, say, a city about the size of ACM city (Or Afganistan), with basic furniture in each building, then here is how the pricing would be handled:
Medium build ($2.50) + Low Detail ($0.50) = $3.00. Now if he wanted skyscrapers with each individual floor decorated as a room, etc., and he wanted it done in less than 4 days (In time for his Blockland birthday party, etc.), then this is how it would be handled:
Medium build ($2.50) + Medium Detail ($1.00) + 4 Days ($1.25) = 4.75.
PLEASE NOTE: The charges will all happen after I give you the save. If I finish a build in a specific amount of time without you asking for that short time, then you will NOT be charged extra. However, if you ask for a build to be done in 4 days, and I finish it in 5+ days, then you will be charged with a 5% discount per day that I go over.

Getting a Build
To order a build, email me at ev0blockland@gmail.com, and tell me what map size, detail level, (optional) how soon you want it done, and tell me exactly what you want the map to be. Sending a picture of the basic floor plan might help. Also, send me a download link to a .zip file containing all the addons mentioned in How it Works We are currently completely free, but optional payments will be taken.
Expectations / Policies

    • We will not make price lowerings, etc. for friends, etc.
    • We will always try to finish the build in less then one month / time requested.
    • We will build the map to the best of our ability.
    • If you do not send us a floor plan of the build, then you may not effectively complain if the build doesn't turn out quite the way you want.
    • If you take the build that we make, then you have exactly 3 days to return it to get a refund.
    • If we discover that you are trying to cheat us out of anything, then we will not give you the build, and lock you out of this service for 3-6 months.
    • If we finish the map after the specified time (if extra money is paid for this), then we will give you a 5% discount for every day late we are. To eliminate the possibility of giving us a really big map so you can pay less, 4 days is not an option for a huge or large highly detailed build.

    Remember that we are currently free![/list]

    post some of your work.
    i'm not going to buy from someone that doesn't even show the quality of their builds, and seeing how you removed your marvel boss battle's map image is even worse.

    Oh yeah I removed them, then forgot to add the new ones :P

    EDIT: I do admit that I'm somewhat bad at building. This is why we're currently free. If you have any complaints, then I'll go work on it again and see if I can get it better.
    DOUBLE EDIT: Right now we're free, so you don't have to worry about wasting your money on a no-good build.

    whether or not it's free you shouldn't start a 'service' when you're no good at it. get better at building then try making money off of it.

    The anchor for how it works does not work because you forgot the closing ]

    Exactly. Also trust me: I know how to build good designs when I need to. I'd love to show you some of them, but all of my saves got deleted prior to re-installing Blockland and forgetting to back them up.

    :O oops. Ok fixed.

    Charging for add-on creation is perfectly reasonable, but charging people to build for them is moronic and defeats the whole purpose of Blockland.

    It has the same creative aspect, doesn't it? I could see paying someone to build something if they're actually really good at it.

    Creating entirely new content for the game is more valuable then creating something in the game using bricks.

    how? it's not fun to play with the "entirely new content" unless there's a good build to play on

    Blockland has many aspects, and building is only one of them.

    That's opinion is probably based around your skill set.

    then build something..?

    Are you willing to offer a money back guarantee?

    i hope he also has a buy-one get-one free policy too

    It depends on what you mean.
    i hope he also has a buy-one get-one free policy too
    I might on certain weeks/months.

    Just one question: Could people stop asking about things that have to do with payments??? I've said many times, on the main thing and in comments that we're free right now!
