"In the beginning there was an empty darkness.. The only thing in this void was a black brick, Two-By-Two. A Two-By-Two was the Alpha Brick, the First. Copied, pasted, and recolored a million times, Robloxia was built out of nothing from the images of Two-By-Two. These were the early days…"

ROBLOX is a MMOG (Massively multiplayer online game) made by Erik Cassel (erik.cassel) and David Baszucki (builderman). Idealized in 2004 and released to the public in 2005, it is one of the first games that allowed users to create their own games, or "places".

Early History:
The original crew of ROBLOX can be seen as Erik Cassel, David Baszucki, and John Shedlestky. The game went into closed alpha in 2004, only accessible to friends, family, and peers. In 2005 the domain name "roblox.com" was taken, as the game moved into closed beta.

It was in June 2005 that the game moved into an official open beta. At this point, the game was mostly made up of basic OGRE3D, as characters and designs were basic. At the start, there were no animations for characters, and "explosions" mostly consisted of red dots. At this point in the game, no catalog items existed, and only models were available to be published. However, there was a currency called "Roblox points", which could be earned by completing in-game "contests" or creating a popular game. Some of the major users at this time were Woodgie, Matt, philip, retnea, and ToddB, and some notable places consisted of "Fend off the bots", "Highway Driver", and "Bridge It!". It was at this time that a forum was also made, though it only consisted of General Discussion (later named Roblox Talk), Support and Suggestions, and Release notes.

Also at this time was when "Focus Groups" existed, where surveys would be given to fellow ROBLOX players and asked what features they most liked, and which ones they wanted. While the Focus Groups were in existence, many of the features requested were later implemented.

2006:

At this time, the site got a major makeover. Decals, T-shirts, and even some hats were available, though they were hard to obtain. This is also when the ROBLOX motto "Think. Create." came into existence, and when for the first time ROBLOX was released to all as a "finished" game.

Around this time, the Developer's Section (later titled Roblox Blog) and the first roblox wiki, robloxwiki.com, was created. The games quality was improved immensely, and it was at this point where things were implemented into the game that would later change it forever. Places made during this time, such as "Sunset Plain", "Crossroads", "Santa's Stronghold", and "The Angel of Truth" would end up becoming instant classics.

It was also at this time that Roblox Points were removed and replaced by robux, which a user would get a few of everyday to spend on shirts and hats, and also get more robux by selling their own t-shirts.
