couple questions before I buy

[James V]

I think I remember this game before it even came out and there was just news of a guy announcing hes working on a game blockland. I never thought it would come down to what it has now, great job developers!

anyway im finally thinking about buying the game with the exception of a few things I would like answered, please.

1. can my computer run this game smoothly, even with lots of buildings and action everywhere?

1024 ram
pentium 4
3.2 ghz
Radeon 9250 256mb

2. How many people are actualley on at any time, like give me a rough estimate. From what ive heard its only like 23 people

3.can this game hold my attention for a long while, in other words is it fun?

thanks

Rofl 3.2ghz and a Radeon 9250...

youll be fine but a RAM upgrade might me nice as well

its more like 25-30 people at one time, it picks up to about 40-50 in the day

And if you get the hang of builiding or scripting it will be fun for a long time

1. You should be fine.  There are always exceptions but its not always you causing it.

2. In the middle of a school day as low as 10 - 20.  On weekends of about 8 or 9 EST you can get over 100.  But not by much.

3. Learning can get boring.  Once you become a pro you may play for years.  You just have to get that far.

[James V]

ok cool i should be buying it this weekend around friday-saturday.

anyway what is the general audience for this game, ive gone to the drama section and it seems most people that people are complaining about seem like a child no older than 8? Im 15 and kind of looking for a more mature audience. It also seems this game requires quite alot of thinking, which is my kind of game. Perhaps though once I get the game would anyone be willing to show me the "ropes"?

thanks

Just find teh right peoples.

[James V]

this game seems unbeleivable!

im not sure if this is possible, but hear are several things I thought of that you might be able to do in the game that im not sure of

1.could you build a house than have like a zombie outbreak and have an army head toward the house while you and several friends blocade and defend the house?

2. could I build say a.......airplane and make it fly?
3. could I build a (whatever the hell that huge legged things is from starwars, you know the battle of hoth" and make it walk?

please answer because if so i think I may have finalley found a game that will keep my attention for over 5 minutes

[James V]

I couldnt find the edit butten but, i just learned that block land will be coming out with v9 soon with this would I have to buy the game again? Along with this will the graphics be improved because im worried of the stress better graphics could put on my comp

[Xoax]

No you wouldn't have to re-buy it, it has an auto-updater.
1.Yes
2.No, although it might be possible sometime in the future.
3.No, this would take a whole lot of work to script something
to make the legs actually move in sync amd everything.

[James V]

ah ok zombies are fine with me.

what about taking a jeep and putting a turret on it and driving around taking out zombies?

[Game master pro]

Not in game but they can vehicles and weapons can be edited to fit your needs.

[Ephialtes]

Biggest pre-purchase brown townysis of Blockland i've ever seen haha.

The v9 update wont have a huge effect on graphics, and your Radeon card will be fine for you -  i'm on an onboard intel graphics card and the fps lag is tolerable, so you'll be fine.

[James V]

well im planning on buying the game today, and so I was wondering if anyone wanted to show me the ropes (i may have already mentioned this) But yah anyone want to train a noob in the art of blockland?

if you got xfire- iamlegend2900

or just pm me here

thanks guys for the help I look forword to building houses and doing drive by's

this just came to mind from watching a garrys mod vid, are there nukes?

[tcxxx572]

nukes? Yes, I guess, but that was a bad add-on me thinks
