Its obvious this game or forums won't last another year, so before it shuts down, I just wanna say thanks to the few people who still browse this place.
Blockland was such a huge part of my life when I first bought it back when I was like 11 or 12. I remember spending a whole year searching "how to play blockland for free" or "free blockland keys" and just playing the offline version where you unplug your ethernet cord to work lmao, until I got my mom to buy it for me. Since then, holy stuff. This game will always have such a deep place in my heart and I'm glad to have been a part of it. Back in 2012, there was nothing like coming home from school and joining one of the freebuilds or Zombie Survivals. I don't think I've ever sunk so many hours into a game in my life, which is crazy to think about seeing as I have almost 3k in Siege. But, this game was, and frankly still is, loving amazing (if people still played it. Fr, just go F2P.) This game has taught me so much about myself, and I've made so many friends. Spending every weekend hunting Renderman or building massive bases to blow up, that was just the best. Blockland was my introduction to PC gaming.
I started making addons for this game in like 2015, which was my first introduction to 3D modelling and coding. In fact, I loved modelling so much, that I'm going to college for CAD and mechanical drafting. Its loving crazy to think that I came to that decision from making guns in a lego game. Made some really cool friends in doing so. (Hey CTrooper, if you're reading this, you're the loving man). I remember starting a server, thinking it would just get a couple of people, but ended up being one of the most popular servers at the time, racking in 20+ people until I had to go to bed, because I hosted it locally. Whenever someone joined for the first time, it lagged the stuff out of my PC lol. I made so many Steam friends asking me "Yo, when are you hosting again?" "you hosting today?"
The forums. This was my stuff back before I discovered other message boards. You losers taught me about computers, how they work, how to build them, why my loving computer wont work, and just general life advice. This stuff has helped me IRL on so many occasions that I really can't thank you guys enough.
Thanks for being such a huge part of my life.
