About half an hour ago before writing this, I was playing on a Prison Escape server when all the players had quite a surprise...
...we had a visit from the owner of Blockland, Badspot.
(FYI: The server is "Tezuni's Prison Escape".)
That's right everyone, Blockland may soon to be no more. Without online servers, the game is let alone simple and dull. We've reached the end of our fun experience.
Not much players are left online today, so it makes sense for Badspot to shut them down for good. I'd recommend that you all pay your last visits to the online community while you still can. I know I sure will. But maybe there's hope: maybe if we can gather enough people, we can show Badspot that we still care for Blockland, enough to keep it up for another month or two. And then fund the server costs from there through donations and funding.
That's just an idea, but as of now, I don't see anything changing.
And for all you who don't believe this whole scenario, I don't blame you for your disbelief. Anyone could log on as "Badspot" and say whatever they want. But being automatically added to administrator? To be honest, I'm not sure. It could have been an admin that went and pulled a prank, or who knows what.
Still, with not knowing the exact truth of this all, I think we should all prepare for doomsday and play the last few multiplayer sessions ever of Blockland.
Let's just all hope that this is in fact a prank, and not serious.
