Making of Greatness...
commandrew:
This is a shame. Blockland really had the makings of greatness. I am Commandrew, and I have seen the hundreds of add-ons some very smart people have made. I mean, some of these weapons are pure genius. But most add-ons are never fully used to there maximum potential. Let me use an example. Think about Halo 3. Blockland has better maps, more maps, better weapons, more weapons, better vehicles, more vehicles, and you can fly with jets on you feet, for crying out loud. But even though more people have a PC or Mac then an Xbox 360, Halo 3 made WAY more money then Blockland ever will. Why is this so? I'll tell you why. If you go buy Halo 3, you can take it home, and bam, you have an awesome video game. You’re fighting covenant, battling flood, taking on brutes. Now let’s consider Blockland. Once you buy Blockland, you will likely then spend 2-3 hours downloading all of these add-ons, then you have a couple options, 1) play a laggy online match with only half of the add-ons you downloaded, 2) spawn in the bedroom and use your newly-downloaded weapon to shoot the wall, 3) waste 6 months of you life to build a two massive forts, so you can have a TDM with yourself, or 4) get a degree in networking, attempt to forward your ports, pray to Jesus that it will work just so you can host option number one. Badspot needs to stop telling everyone “Beware of add-ons! Install a bad add-on, and your game will crash!” He needs to look at the code for an add-on, and give it a Yes or a No. If yes, then he includes it in the next version of Blockland. If no, then put it in some place in the forums called “Bad/Incomplete add-ons.” Also, it would be wise for Badspot to go and buy some dedicated PCs to host some Blockland servers, instead of having the Average American Kid screw up his router.
Menen:
Whats a huge wall of text.
Theres a button called the ENTER/RETURN, use it
Blockoman:
1.If that would happen, Blockland's price would probably have to be raised a lot, for all of the new content. Imagine crediting all of those people for the game?
2. Some add-ons are useful, but not good enough to be included with the game. There are few that even should be. JVS Content and some of the Gamemodes are really the only ones that could be included with Blockland.
3. What if you don't want a certain add-on? You won't have a choice on whether you like it or not.
4. Not all servers are laggy, you just need a new computer.
tl;dr: NO.
Tom Gunn:
This is an intersting suggestion for a bad addon topic though

Solution: Host your own servers. No download time. It really doesn't lag. You choose what to do.
