Ep1- Roblox

You have all heard of sandbox games, like Minecraft, Terraria, e.t.c. But, have you ever heard of Roblox? That's right! Roblox! Hi i'm @KpmgytRBLX and today i'm going to be talking about Roblox. Now, the big question is, what is roblox???? Well, Roblox is a massive multiplayer online game creation platform that allows users to design their own games and play a wide variety of different types of games created by the developer or other users. Sometimes compared to the game Minecraft, Roblox is a website and a app that hosts social network virtual world games. Players are called "Robloxians".The company’s capabilities include The Reality Engine, a cross-platform, real-time simulation engine packaged into Universal Game Client, a single code base that can be built for all the platforms, including smart phones, tablets, desktops, Xbox One, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and other VR platforms. It serves customers in the United States. Roblox Corporation was incorporated in 2004 at San Mateo, California. Yes, the year 2004 Roblox was found. Roblox was created by David Baszucki and Erik Cassel in 2004. Its beta version, DynaBlocks, was launched in 2004. It was renamed to ROBLOX in 2005 due to the name being hard to remember, During this time, it was also called ROBLOX v.10 according to DomainTools Screenshots. The website came out of beta and was officially launched in 2006.The original currency, ROBLOX points, could be earned by logging in daily or by playing minigames. Features added in 2006 and 2007 included private messages, search, and avatar customization. ROBLOX badges were added on December 22, 2006. ROBLOX points were replaced by ROBUX, introduced on May 14, 2007. A new currency, tickets, was introduced in August 2007 and Builders Club was also introduced. On April 1, 2012, the ROBLOX website was compromised. Malicious users decreased the price of some goods, took or awarded ROBUX from and to users, and used site-wide notices to display objectionable messages. The site was taken offline for a brief period of time and ROBLOX staff reverted the changes. A trading system allowing users to trade limited and limited unique items was enabled for all premium members on July 12, 2012. On December 11, 2012, ROBLOX started supporting mobile devices. Then, sad things happened. On Febuary 11, 2013, co-founder Erik Cassel passed away after his battle with cancer. On September 24, 2013, ROBLOX established a price floor for clothing in the catalog. The minimum price to sell a T-shirt was set to 10 ROBUX and the minimum price to sell shirts or pants was set to 20 ROBUX (or 120 tickets). On March 15, 2016, David Baszucki announced that tickets would be discontinued after thirty days.[11] During the thirty days before they were removed, items that could only be bought with tickets were released. Tickets were removed on April 14, 2016, at the same time as the Trade Currency system which allowed trading of both currencies. And that's all for todays summary. Bye!
