Personally, I think it's bull stuff. It's been a while sense I've ranted about something Badspot did, but seriously, why should everyone's server have to start with their name? Sure it prevents fake "Badspot's beta" servers, but it can get annoying having no choice but to start your server name with your own name. Why not just release an update to the join server Gui that displays the name of the person who's hosting a server? Seriously now, not everyone wants to plaster themselves at the beginning of their server name.

I agree. There should be a Gui that comes up when you click on a server to display the info, like current players in the server, player limit, max bricks, ect.

why does everyone assume its to just prevent impersonations? im sure that was just a small additional perk that he wasnt concerned about

also, why the hell does it matter if people know who is hosting?

It doesnt really disrupt that much.

If only someone had made a mod or something to do that ...

impersonation talk

i am going to make up some statistic here, that 99% of blockland players have not the slightest clue who badspot is. they dont use forums, dont know or care who made the game or any part of its history. nothing wrong with being a casual gamer.
so the abuse an impersonator would do would be incredibly minimal, i wouldn't even consider it a problem.

No, what he's saying, Ephi, as a BL default that it would show that, even if they didn't have RTB.

onyx6 · March 07, 2009, 08:45:27 PM

RTB should be default lol

Ephialtes · March 07, 2009, 09:04:13 PM

I don't think RTB2 is stable enough to be default. I'm hoping RTB3 will be much more stable. (Just try searching in RTB2, like 60% of the time your game will just crash)

"Hotdog's Clearly Badspot's Server"
I actually saw this.

I don't like this, it's kinda bunched together.

MoogleBoss · March 08, 2009, 06:28:18 AM

This update also bugs me about one little thing.

If you host a server for someone else, let's say:

Guy 1 is hosting a freebuild for Guy 2 because they agreed jada jada jada...

The name would be Guy 1's Guy 2's freebuild (Or something like that)

Weird, because mostly everyone would consider you to be that someone

But yeah, that's a good idea.
