one day in 2008-9 I was watching youtube videos about roblox.
I looked down and saw that the comments were filled with 'roblox vs blockland'
confused, I just ignored them.
but then, I kept seeing 'roblox vs blockland' in most roblox videos, and out of curiosity I searched blockland
I got the demo, I loved it and suddenly told my brother.
then, I bought the game, then my brother did slightly after.
I remember when I first bought the game I think I had to reinstall or something (for whatever reason)
on this new copy my controls were messed up so I joined a cityrpg out of excitement and when I spawned, I spawned outside the map and I couldn't move due to messed up controls.
Then, I went to the controls menu and manually binded each key all over again, only noticing the 'defaults' button right at the end.
The first friend I ever encounted is robot1, he used to host freebuild servers and we met on his server.
When v15(?) came out, UPnP was suddenly supported. That's when I figured out how to host servers.
Then it went from there, I hosted crappy servers, yet they seemed great at the time.
