I always thought Roblox was a Minecraft ripoff, but someone tipped me off that it actually came out before Minecraft. It's both somehow more kiddie than Nintendo and yet not nearly as impactful, and, at the same time, somehow profittable in a huge way.

someone in a zoomer nostalgia thread actually thought it was a gen alpha thing and as being one of the 20 roblox oldfags makes me really fucking sad.

I joined in 2010 and wear the epic face item on my character for attention from alphies who think its the coolest shit ever. my life is so miserable bros
>>713590760
OH GOD I REMEMBER THIS ONE, I used to always dress my character up in a pirate hat so I could really get into it. It was like shitty sailor hat for like 30 tix.
One of my favorite old roblox games was "Classic Games" by kingray, I think that was his name. You can't play it anymore but for 7 year old me it was one of the most fun I have ever had in roblox. I remember trolling some other players by catching them with the pokeball item and me and my friend forcex them to fight to the death in the punch out map and we shoot them with lasers whenever they don't listen. It was really fun to watch.
I feel like I've missed out, I never played it as a teen because it looked so shitty and I thought people played it ironically like club pinguin
but now I'm too old to try it
>try signing into the account I've had since 2008 >my password doesn't work >scared to sign into my old email because I'm pretty sure some Zigger hacked it shortly after I got my new email
has anybody played that one plants vs zombie roblox game that was basically garden warfare before garden warfare? I swear I remember playing a PvZ third person shooter that I used to spend so much time into. I can't seem to rememer the name of it or find screenshots if it.
>>713592765
oh wow this shit is still up? Found it while I was digging through my old account's favorites, looks like EA copyright striked them though. I swear I don't remember it being called "Gardens vs Graves" kek.
>>713590114
Every time I see Roblox screenshots, I can't believe it's one of the biggest games in the World.
Looks like the shit a dogshit would shit, if a dogshit could shit.
If that's not proof that graphics aren't important, I don't know what is.
>>713592526 >had an account from 2008 >spoiled as a kid so had builders club with all the fun bells and whistles, even had the JJ5x5 hat from one time i randomly logged in one day when i was 10 and had 15k+ robux (best guess is someone actually bought the random shitty 'plz donate' t-shirt i had put on the catalog ages back for some reason) >try logging in randomly for nostalgia's sake, man i should change that dumbass password i put on there when i was 9 >password doesnt work, after a little bit of trying figure somethings up >check one of those roblox account worth websites >account sharply dropped from like $5k to $1k on a random day just a few weeks before and was clearly emptied out by some zigger cunt that hawked everything they could off of it >never had a recovery email on it
i know its a lego kids game thats the embodiment of cancer now and i hadnt done anything worthwhile with it since i was 12 but man that still bummed me out. i hope for the best for yours anon
One chick I knew (actual biofem) used to play roblox and had a mental episode where she locked herself in her room and would listen to the catra cartoon theme song for 20 hours straight while pissing in bowls
As a kid I used to play a lot of games where you were either really big or really small. I'm surpised I never grew up into having a giant or small fetish with the amount of favorites I had dedicated to just playing as a tiny.
I actually love playing Roblox but actively stop myself from doing so because its addicting.
There's just so much cool free games, its like the best indie platform for players.
>log into roblox after all these years >a lot of my cool hats/gear were transferred out of my account >contact support >sorry, we cant give you virtual items back since you didnt contact us within 7days
they didnt steal my favorite hat but they got my helm of lightning and other old shit.
>>713595040
I used to play that game a lot and became friends with a lot of people there. I didn't really take the roleplay seriously though and just played as Classic Sonic and tagged along with a guy who was Ness.
You know I was really worried about this thread being shit thanks to the soijak OP but I am having a pretty good time posting in it just talking about this the stuff we did back when it was actually fun. thanks anons.
>>713589747
I played in 2007 or 2008. I can't access my account anymore since the email provider I used no longer exists.
Which is a shame because it has what I can only assume are a bunch of rare cosmetics I could've RMT'd.
>>713595539
i'm not a pedo, this is just the only not-dead game that still vaguely has the "joining random custom servers with 20 billion mods in gmod" vibe.
>>713589747
I played back in 07-08. I remember how every obby would give you free powers at the end and the first people to beat it would just grief everyone else. >>713595458 >I can't access my account anymore since the email provider I used no longer exists.
Yeah I'm pretty sure my old account is gone too. It's a shame.
>Friend gets me to play Roblox for the first time in over a decade. >Every character is either some glammed up e-thot or a giant Kanye head with hyper realistic feet.
What the fuck happened?
does roblox still ban you when you say "Blockland" in chat? I mean its been like two decades now and arguably Minecraft is a much stronger competitor than Blockland ever will be.
>>713597380
Frankly I wonder what would've happened if Roblox maintained its forums, and maybe even upgraded them to a point to rival 'cord? I remember how they bought that one Discord competitor noone uses, far too late...
>>713589747
I did, somewhere in late 2000's and early 2010's.
I mostly remember those obstacle course games (ones that gave you OP items in the end to harasse others still doing the course), but there were others, but kid me got filtered by them.
>>713592021
I play this Card Game ever since it came out (nearly 10 years). It's relatively not popular and most I knew from the community long ago left. I checked it out recently and I guess the remaining devs are a little freaky...
>>713593610
I like the Robot64 illustration he made, so he probably joined later but was still around compared to, like, the people drawing their UGC slop avatar.
>>713596407
They censor you when you say "Quackity" that raid long ago and "Do you know the way", that meme. Also "Pewdiepie" I think.
Numbers are commonly censored but sometimes not. I think it's an AI now. I couldn't say "Vine" or "Staff" but could say "Vinestaff".
>>713589747
I would say 2011 that's when they started the "It's Free!" campaign.
>>713589747
I played it for a couple years starting early 2008. Probably don't have access to my old account any more but I found it on the player browser and it looks like everything is still there. The shirt page is a time capsule of shitty old internet humour, damn.
>>713599154
The forums shutting down was an inevitability and would have turned into as much as an autism hub as discord
It had already all sorts of characters back when it up like a guy that a tulpa gf of Flora from TwoKinds that they would larp as on an alt account.
>>713602078
I was a tad too late for the forum. I wish someone covered happenings from what happened back in them in like a YouTube video or something... Not Nitrolord.
