==============================
Roblox is an online game platform
and game creation system made
by the Roblox Corporation. It was
created by David Baszucki and
Erik Cassel in 2004 and released
in 2006.
==============================
It allows players to create games
and play games created by others,
with many different types of games
available. Roblox can be used on
most devices such as iOS, XBOX,
or Playstation, however it cannot
be played on a browser (e.g.
Google). Roblox itself is free to
play, however, virtual accessories
can be purchased in the store
using "Robux", a currency which
costs real money to obtain.
==============================
Roblox has over 164 million monthly
active players and began to grow
fast in 2021. It has 43.2 million daily
active users worldwide. This is an
increase from 19.1 million daily
active users by the end of 2019.
==============================
GAME CREATION:
==============================
Roblox lets its players create
their own games using its own
separate application, Roblox
Studio. Players can build
anything they want to using
the Studio, and then publish
their game to the Roblox
website for anyone to play.
==============================
VIRTUAL ITEMS AND CURRENCY:
==============================
Players on Roblox can buy
virtual items from the Catalog
using virtual currency named
'Robux'. This currency is
obtained initially by buying a
Roblox Premium membership
or from a gift card, but can also
be made by selling items like
gamepasses, or accessories,
which other players can buy
with their own Robux. It can
be used by players to buy
accessories and items for
their character, or in game
benefits. Another form of currency
that was discontinued was the
Tix, also known as Tickets. All
players could get a few Tix each
day they log into Roblox, and
trade those Tix in to get Robux.
Tix were removed from the
game in March 2016.
==============================
MEMBERSHIP:
==============================
Builders Club was Roblox's first
membership club which could
only be used through a purchase.
Builders Club gave its members
more features in Roblox, such as
earning its virtual currency called
Robux, and the ability to trade
items. Another thing players
could do was sell Limited items
(buy-able and sell-able items
on the Avatar Shop). There were
three types of Builders Club:
Classic, Turbo, and Outrageous.
Classic was the original Builders
Club type and Outrageous was
the newest. Players would either
buy it monthly or annually.
In 2019, Builder's Club was
removed and replaced with
Premium. Premium is very much
like the original Builders Club
except it gives players Robux
every month instead of daily.
Premium players also get
access to perks in select games.
