This game pretty much defined my childhood, and I have spent an absolutely unnecessary amount of time playing it.
At the age of 7 I saw a listing on a website for it (https://play-free-online-games.com/games/blockland.html) and begged my parents to buy the game for me. I still remember the first server I ever went on, a free build, and looking around other peoples' builds. The game is not exactly what it once was in terms of player base, with I think maximum 10 people playing at any given moment now, but I will always look back on it fondly.
The obstacle courses/challenges, zombie defense, that one server that was a top-down apocalypse survival, prison RP, boss battles, the block party, Spade's arcade, deathrun, being poor in city RPs, mini empires, murder mystery, the knife grappling DMs, those infinite mining servers, a little more recently the randomiser deathmatch, and all the other funky servers that people would come up with. Not to mention the incredible amount of add-ons, and more so through RTB, and the easy-to-grasp event system. I also still remember being in awe at the shaders update, and me and my friend playing around with the brick physics to see all the realtime shadows.
Even though it's a fair bit past its expiration date now, and we have alternatives like Brickadia in development, I will never forget this game and the impact it had on me.
P.S. my ID was 5462, if you know me then please say hi!
(prev. names incl. Heaven Hunter, Purplonn, Plae, Pollarity, Koale, dakoda)
And before I leave, here are some classic Blockland YouTube videos that I used to love.
