What did you not know during the demo?

[Brickman]

Well, first I didn't know what a vehicle spawn was, or that you could get vehicles
Second, I didn't know about music untill like a month later
Third, didn't know about spawning items
fourth, thought you could print on any bricks
fith, didn't know a lot more stuff, God I was stupid back then.

Edit: Also thought that player spawns meant people could come to your sever ._.

Hell, while playing the demo(which I only did for like a hour before I bought it)my mac would crash everytime I played the tutorial, but strangely, when I put in the key and unlocked the full version. The tutorial worked:D

I never experienced the demo, but this thread is really enlightening as to what new people should know (I hope Badspot is reading!). It's been a long time since I was a newbie (4 years ago this month) so I never had the chance to have misconceptions about retail BL, especially since I was beta testing v7 for probably almost a year before it came out.

Keep up the replies, I think this thread has a really good purpose (making BL more appealing for new buyers, which is usually a good thing). :)

Yeah, the game leaves out alot of steps new players can't figure out.

Oh yeah, which version was the turtorial put in?

[Blockoman]

I didn't know how to use the printer.
I didn't know how to use the wrench to spawn items/emitters/vehicles/music.

There were no events when I joined, or anything else like that.

[Burger]

When I first started, I could do everything. :3 I didn't know about the forums doh :(

[tapemaster21]

I didn't play the demo. :/ I was too busy hosting one of the few and awesome opening night retail servers :D

[Gamefandan]

I think the first server I ever went to.... was hosted by tails. I'm not sure though, I just remember that one the most because of all the "kewl weapons" as I once said back then.

[CrazyGoodDude]

Well during the demo, I did not know how:
To get out of the admin orb
To scroll in the brick menu
To spawn weapons with out a spawn brick
To make bricks disappear (non-rendered)
To use events
And finally, How to commit Self Delete

 I knew Nearly Nothing just to run jump etc the basics

I thought that /facepalm ment to hit someone In the face with your palm

[Froby]

I didn't no there were diffrent tabs in the brick menu.

[Solid]

I remember making a box made of 1x1s and thinking it was awesome. :o

[Antallion]

I didn't know what the printer did, or any of the f8/f7, /warp etc.

When I first played v0002 (v2), I thought the "Start Mission" button was something similar to an adventure game or missions with objectives sort of like the current Tutorial. When I played The Slopes as my first map, it had no bricks (no menu, bricks were items then but Slopes didn't have any) and I couldn't figure out what to do. I don't think I had actually tried joining public servers.

When I downloaded RTB 1.045 (I think), I didn't realise I had to be running Play RTB.bat - I was attempting to run standard Blockland and getting confused when it kept downloading the rtb/ files even though I clearly had them. I had attempted to run AiO-R at the same time as this gave me a "Talk During Load" option (which was a novelty then as opposed to standard) so I could figure out with other people what was actually happening.
