just like shaun said, everyone was a noob at once, i think if we gave it time we'd have alot of people that arent noobs... the highest people thats been in a server that i've seen is 12 including me.

Just do an aggressive community run advertising campaign, without looking like we are desperate for people to buy the game. Get everyone on the forums to stick it on their del.icio.us and StumbleUpon accounts. Everyone could put Blockland on their GGE profiles and then stick them in their signatures on other forums. Encourage users to put more movies on youtube. Make a facebook Blockheads group. Have someone wear a Blockland.us T-shirt and tackle a speaker at the 2008 Olympics on national television. That sort of thing.

It's a great game, indeed.

But advertising in my opinion would be terrible. People will think this game is MADE by LEGO and for LEGO fans, when it isn't. And then LEGO might link to Blockland, thus bringing millions of childish 7 year olds screaming "HAO DUZ I BEUILD", "CNA HAS ADMN?" and most annoying "I WNT 2 LOAD".

Seriously, advertising will bring all the worst types of noobs. Don't forget, people will try to crack Blockland to get it free, and people will get the wrong idea thinking that Blockland is a kid friendly game. Then Jack Thompson comes in saying "Internet is giving kids a bad idea...blahblahblahimahomowho gotrapedbyavideogameblahblahb lah".

For those who tl;dr, ADVERTISING IS BAD.

okay then... i do agree to wedge's plan, lets do that.

ADVERTISING IS BAD.

People you don't like will always be everywhere, just deal with them, ignore them, and don't limit your profits and user base because you are afraid more will join. Surely someone you do like will join, and they'll make up for everyone you hate.

I know it sounds like it came straight out of a pop psyche book, but really, limiting a game's sales because you are afraid people you don't like will find it is just silly.

I can like spread the news of blockland at school.
For only $10 I can give my school television morning announcment things a video for them to air for me so I can do an ad for blockland that way at my school
Someone make an ad plz.

There's always Facechild's. It didn't make official, but it's a decent quality and it's available now, unless someone wants to try better it.

Blockland advertising would be GOOD. It would attract better users. You just need to choose where to market it to wisely.

The game can easily be cracked. It's the way authentication is handled that cannot easily be cracked. If they want to play on a legitimate Blockland server, they need a legitimate Blockland ID. They'd have to crack the master server itself to do that.
