you can't older versions arnt compatible with multiplayer
badspot did this for a specific reason
a game isn't about graphics. They are about quality. The old maps might have been ugly, but they where a great load of fun.
maps weren't a game, they were maps. and the majority of maps made were ugly and they were a big reason not to build anything. the only fun you would have is exploring the map or hanging with friends, that would be it. and are you saying that quality comes from just fun? quality comes from the overall look too. also, you might have ignored the other part.
they complicated blockland's code and halted progress and updates by a landslide
if they still existed, an ass load of clans, players, updates, builds, add ons, and more wouldn't exist or be in the blockland community.
