tl;dr: Blockland is responsible for the best memories I have of my childhood and provided the only meaningful social interaction I ever had for years and years
this sums it up pretty much
like id love to type out my story, but i feel like i wouldnt be able to properly do it justice because of how much has happened. how much needs to be said in order to 100% understand why blockland is as meaningful as it is
its comfortably relatable to know that other old users have felt it though. those nostalgic old times. idk why but blockland nostalgia is so much more powerful than any other nostalgia i can think of. im so happy i can say i was a part of retail when it started. it honestly feels like a dream. it used to be so simple, so you really had to work with what you had and the people around you to have fun. and despite the fact the game has changed a lot, theres still an overbearing sense of "community" here. people working together to make the game fun for each other. in ways they dont even know
and thats the beauty of it to me
its an obscure game with an obscure community fading into an obscure and uncertain future. but because of that, even though ive never met you, ive never talked to you, ive never interacted with you, ive never done anything to form any kind of meaningful connection with you..... i love you. even when bl is long gone i will always love you. despite who you are or what you've done, you've helped make this insignificant place the place ive needed for so long, and i can only hope my presence has helped you as much as yours has helped me
thank you for everything you've done, even if you've done nothing at all. you simply being here has done more than you can possibly imagine
