I haven't played the game, but I have a set or two and I know the story (Ice rock thingies are my favorite). The thing is that in the game, it is you trying to mine as much as you can and stuff. But in this, it sounds like it will be the same thing, but multi-player. The problem comes when you don't add/change anything from the transition. It may be fun to spend along time making a private mine on single player, but something needs to be changed to make it so people really work as a team. With blockland, a couple good players may be working together to make a big mine, but you'll have twice as many idiots running around digging holes in the middle of the path because they lack a clear and competative goal.
