maps were removed because of shadows, shaders and physics was it worth it?
considering all 3 are client sided they are only worth it for people that can run them
Shadows gives you a HUGE disadvantage building and playing minigames, it's only meant to look nice. You can cheat in stealth minigames by turning shadows off so you can see who's hiding in shadows.
And then physics was cool for awhile but I don't think it was worth it and also again it puts you at a disadvantage in minigames because a bunch of physics bricks is blocking your view.
Also the average blocklander had a grandmother e-mail checker as a computer.
I don't think removing maps was worth adding 3 client sided features, maybe if there was a way to force them for everyone people could have started making minigames that required shadows
