The map's dark sky-box made it easy to see the room with the shimmering, blocky treasures. As a matter of fact, I remember being on the server when the creator made it! Nostalgia quickly rushed over me, enveloping my heart and stirring up a carefree attitude. My gosh, how I always loved this building. I figured maybe the admin of the server was just too lazy to make a map and had just decided to load it in place. So I was just jetting around alone, inspecting builds and searching for other players when I saw VH's "Festung der Schwarzung" build from the Save List. Perhaps this could actually be a cool mini-game to play after all! I mean, that was the server name after all. I thought that maybe this sign had to do with the Renderman mini-game. This game is mostly played by 10 year-olds nowadays anyhow. The letters weren't all the same color and weren't organized in a line, but I didn't think too much of it. As seen in the Screen-cap, the sign said, "GO NOW". Now, with the implication of events, signs are rarely used on Blockland. I was expecting to see a bunch of random red blocks strewn throughout the server with items and vehicles, but the server was clean, except for a few buildings here and there. People were probably making small bases and whatnot The usual sights you get in Blockland servers. I won't lie, it freaked me out a bit, but shit like this is always expected in Blockland. You know that old glitch, where you can hear players building while you're loading? That was what I thought was happening to me. I was about to hit escape when all of a sudden I heard building. And low and behold being as stupid as I could be, I forgot to look at the player count and realized I'd joined an empty dedicated server. Renderman? What's that, A new gamemode or some sort of bot?, I thought. Many were role-playing servers and others were miscellaneous free-builds. I watched as the Master Server flooded my screen with new servers left and right. Block's slides and even Vertical Horizon had one. I saw that many of my old friends had default saves built right into the game! Jetpuff's Towers, Sampapa's fort, Mr. Many years later, I came back to Blockland in hopes of rekindling old memories. The mind of a 13 year-old's were pools of infinite creativity. I remember trying about several hundred times trying to host a server. I would always play the game-mode "Zombies" or spend time building elaborate castles filled with dungeons and armories. I remember back when I used to play Blockland for days on end.
