I'll start off by saying; I'm not trying to elevate myself in any way, and this has nothing to do with me.

There are three kinds of Blockland servers I see. RPG's, freebuilds, and deathmatches. These aren't so bad, but when it never changes, they can be rather dull. I miss the days when people would strive to build something worthwhile instead of slapping a city together and playing life. I want to join a server and see someone building something that's a major challenge... maybe a space shuttle or Mount Rushmore... I don't know. I'm just seeing so much wasted potential going into building the same thing time after time.

Build something nice, people.

But 10 year olds don't have the attention span to build something nice.

Well, Ace, Dread and I were building the Skylands, but that kind of ran out of steam a week ago when I didn't have any time to play Bl. (They also were getting mad that I wasn't allowing any non-default add-ons to be used in the build)

It would be nicer if people built more, but I like servers I can actually do something in. Not a server were someone' building something and all you can do is walk around and paint people.

Gah, nevermind. It doesn't matter.

i'd say take some initiative

I host an RTB Isles City Build from time to time, but that's really not much challenge. Unless you're trying to build some 5 story mansion.

I agree with Bones here. Too many DM/RPs/crap lately, the most I've seen is about 5-8 freebuilds.

Bones4 · March 23, 2009, 05:32:39 PM

Even in freebuilds, nothing worthwhile is built.

Mostly...

At most a house built out of 1x1x5s and a 16x16 plate with no proper roof.

I've been in freebuilds where all they did was DM. Then when I'd try to build something they couldn't break, they'd spawn kill me like a bunch of noobs.

I basically have no motivation because no one else is in my boat (no pu intended). I want to be able to visit other servers and become more motivated.
