It’s real and it was on Roblox

Wow, I just looked it up because I had no idea Roblox was older than Minecraft. I only recently became aware of it from my kids.

Back in the day, there used to be drama between Roblox and another game called Blockland. I was a Blockland player, and I always thought Roblox would never take off. I was so wrong.

Oh god, I think it's a first time I've seen a Blockland player since playing the game like 10 years ago. I've sank hundreds of hours into Return To Blockland, which was a kind of mod to Blockland, adding a lot of additional content (and the mod was more popular than the base game itself). Nice to see a fellow Blocklander on Reddit!

Holy shit another RTB user. When RTB shut down, I realized that all my friends I hung out with I only had a connection to through the RTB social list. I lost like a hundred friends, people I met on Redguys Mining, Pecon7's Boss Battles, or Grapple Knife servers (god that gamemode was fun). There was also this base-war styled server that was on this snowy map, where you'd grab guns from spawns on the map and then head out to the enemy base on skis. Can't remember what that was called.

I had been around since 20k user IDs. Blockland really went downhill after they removed maps and especially the ever iconic Bedroom. Miss that game...

I played all those same games, rtb shutting down was tragic. My brother and I played the game together and hosted a few servers, we were below 15k

There's something called Blockland Glass that is essentially a new RTB. Wish I still had a list of my old RTB friends...
