sure there are more servers, but only like 4-8 of them actually have players on them.

ok?? you can literally say the same thing for b4v21, not every one of those 26 is active and playing
--- Quote from: Refticus on December 08, 2017, 10:44:01 AM ---less players playing the main game ==> less players to join your server you just started as they're all on the top server or another game version. simple loving logic; people start from area 1, people move to area 2, less people in area 1.

but nobody is moving from area 1 to area 2
--- Quote from: Refticus on December 08, 2017, 10:44:01 AM ---people are switching to v20 because it appears more active during peak times and weekends.
--- End quote ---
what?? please name like 3 people who've stopped playing v21 for v20, anybody on v20 still plays v21 or just didn't play v21 in the first place
--- Quote from: Refticus on December 08, 2017, 10:44:01 AM ---you can't play both v21 and v20 at the same time, you have to chose one to prioritize your playtime on. people do stick to a version of the game they like and will play it more
--- End quote ---
yes you can lol what's saying you can't, i don't think they're that intense of games that every second of your focus has to be on them, there's no need for "prioritizing playtime"
--- Quote from: Refticus on December 08, 2017, 10:44:01 AM ---this problem is just beginning, we don't know if it's going to have major effects on v21 right now, i'm making my best guess based on what i've seen happening.

alright so you're basing your claims off of things you see, without any actual evidence to back it up on
breaking news: v20 is not killing v21

badspot removed maps with the promise that it would enable a lot more development to happen. there was some stuff but it seemed like he mainly did it to add shaders and make the game look less stuffty for the steam release. the amount of new features added after v20 hasn't really outweighed the existence of maps for me.
some of my favorite servers (like Jorgur's) and experiences (just loving around on bedroom for hours with friends) were enabled by maps existing. certain aspects of the game are basically obsolete now. (like skiing is basically trash now because its hard to create surfaces that are conducive to it with bricks) I'm okay with all that though as long as I can go back and play v20 once in a while.
Btw the argument that "maps are for lazy people" is trash. Not everybody is always up to build a giant expansive map for them to richard around on.

I've never had any issues building maps out of terrain bricks, you people are completely full of stuff

Honestly i've been against v20 since as long as i remember (i used to make maps back in v16 and i didnt really like it). I feel that v21 is more streamlined and resembles more of a finished product than v20, which looked more like a weird tribes throwaway or tribes mod. I have no issue with people playing older versions of blockland, its their choice and it doesn't bother me one bit. But personally, i wouldn't touch the game even if my life depended on it
From a modmaker/development standpoint, v21 is the most stable and introduces the most bugfixes and various helpful functions that makes life easier. For people who don't care about terrian, v21 is perfect
