RTB was moderated by Ephialtes, Lub, Space Guy, and a few other less-active users. Many theories have been made on why RTB was shut down, one of the most popular being that Ephialtes decided to quit blockland and no longer wanted to fund RTB. The website no longer exists and when trying to turn on the add-on, it will not connect to the RTB servers (since they no longer exist). Prior to March 1st, 2014, on the RTB website a notice was posted saying "This service will be unavailable from March 1st, 2014, please download anything you wish to keep before this date".
RETURN TO BLOCKLAND UPDATE
After the beta test period was over, the update was released to the public boasting a totally revamped chat system, no longer relying on the often-down IRC system, and a miniature social networking feature allowing for a friends list, and allowing friends to easily connect to one anothers' servers. Information on the beta can be found at the ingame manual. In late 2011, a beta for a later version of RTB was released to a select 50 members. At the time, it featured an ingame portal to the RTB website, in which the users could download mods from, a colorset manager, easier Add-Ons manager, and a portal to the IRC chatroom, #rtb. Return To Blockland as a content manager was released in late 2008, when Ephialtes, it's creator, posted it on the Add-Ons board. This article is about an Add-on, meaning it has to be downloaded from a third-party and does not reflect the default content of the game.
