introducing...
another forum post complaining about this game being deadnormally one of these threads would start with something obvious like
"blockland is dying" or some stuff
and while yes the serverlist is more dry than asphalt, its clear that no one is going anywhere. after all,
someone's gotta be there to play AoD at 8:24 in the morning
(I'm not exaggerating.)
but what i wanna touch on is exactly what the game plan for moving this game forward would be.
since the only way that badspot is going to make the game free-to-play is for
LITERALLY NO ONE TO BUY IT. FOR YEARS ON END. we would have to take matters into our own hands reviving this old barren lego game.
although that's not gonna be easy because this game fell from its throne harder than the British empire and a lot of changes have been made that would make that job not easy.
so let's break it down all of our obstacles that we would have to hurdle over
-----Exhibit A:-----The Serverlist.
so imagine you're a brand new blockland user still rocking your blockhead nametag, and you click "Join a Game" only to be greeted with...
yikes...so tackling the obvious issue of no one being online...
...ever...
...except for when they're playing Age of Dungeons,
the best way I could think of solving the issue of not knowing what to play is to kick back to the old days of having a freebuild in the serverlist 24/7, so all the newbies can flock to it and build richards everywhere. the way blockland was supposed to be played.
but even then, it would probably get ruined somehow because people ruin
everything and nothing is sacred in blockland.
but other than that, i don't really know what to do on this front.
But wait,
what players?
-----Exhibit B:----- The players.oh boy, the players. not much we as a community can do besides recommend this dead ass game to all of our friends only for it to remain unplayed in their steam library for years on end.
as many other blockland users have said before, (whats left of them.) "a popular youtuber would have to play this game so that it would become relevant again."
but the problem with that is, well... if a youtuber plays this game and all of their fans flock to it, if they have a toxic or annoying fanbase, that's likely gonna be some annoying stuff to deal with. but hey, atleast this game would become relevant again, and they might share the game to their friend and continue a chain of buying this game and telling other people about it.
lmao sike
getting back to a more realistic note, if that were to happen, it would likely take hours of playing this game, positive experiences of this game at that, to invoke such a response. and with no servers to play on and no one online, things are gonna be feeling more like No Players Online than they are blockland.
anyways,
-----Exhibit C:-----Closing thoughtsbut all of those are my ideas. if you couldn't tell i am kind of creatively bankrupt on what to do about this games dwindling population and overall decline.
what are some of yall's ideas on how this game can be defibrillated back into existence?
honestly any ideas at this point would probably benefit this game.*
