To be quite honest, having new and better terrain would be nice. Just, I really hope the old stuffty terrain doesn't ever get brought back.

The same kind of Interior Objects should never be brought back. Torque Constructor was the worst 3D tool I've ever used.

It wasn't very good, but I've used worse. The good part of about interiors is that .dif supports better collision. The best thing to do would be to use DIF for collision objects like rocks, floors, walls, etc.
DTS is best for animated objects
You can read all about DTS vs DIF here

The newer Torque3D uses .dae instead of .dts

I'm a big fan of ModTer because it fits the aesthetic of Blockland much more than standard Terrain. If only there was a mission editor-esque program that works with ModTer.
As far as updates, it would be cool to see more default gamemodes, events, tools, etc. Maybe default server previews, IRC, and an in-game friend list.
Anything that makes community interaction easier in-game would be cool. I always used to think RTB should be a default feature. Tired of seeing knock-offs that conflict with eachother. Finding the addons you want is a hassle nowadays, it sucks.

I don't think you realized it yet, but nothing is happening anymore. Downloads are still stopping all the time and badspot has not said anything blockland related in 3 months.
