I am making this thread to expand on what bigman65 was saying, as a lot of people seem to be disagreeing with him, when actually, he is right.


ROBLOX provide a free service, for everyone. It is free to do the following things on ROBLOX,
- Make an account.
- Use the free account for an unlimited amount of time. (No timed trials)
- Play NBC games. (Most of the games here)
- Forum.
- Make a game.
- Make models and decals.
- Make T-Shirts
- *Buy virtual items. (Disregarding BC items)
- Send and receive unlimited amount of friend requests. (ROBLOX do not limit the amount of friends you can have)
- Join 5 groups and fully participate within them. (Depending on what the owners settings are)
*Not to be confused with the virtual currency. By free, it implies the none-use of "real money".

All of the features above state what freeloaders such as myself can do on this website, and I bet I could list more. Far from greedy if you ask me. It's very easy for ROBLOX to detain most of those features from being free. For example, they could make joining a group BC only, or making T-Shirts BC only. But they don't, simply because they respect the NBC community here. As they give us NBC'ers respect, the least we could do was respect the fact that ROBLOX need money, in order to keep the free service running.

Without money ROBLOX will not be able to do the following,
- Pay bills; such as electricity bills, repairs on broken/faulty equipment.
- Supply food in their cafeteria for staff.
- Pay staff wages.
- Keep ROBLOX running; domain name, hosting service ect...
- Rent for the HQ.

If ROBLOX cannot ensure they get enough income to support the above, they will have no other choice but to shut down. No one here would want ROBLOX to shut down, because if they did, they would not be here reading this.

So, to summarize, ROBLOX are far from greedy, as they do not need to provide any service free. Ask yourself why they should make their website free. What have we done to deserve a free service from ROBLOX? Nothing, nothing at all.

One more thing, if you dislike ROBLOX, or constantly say that their updates are rubbish ... then I have some great news for you! ROBLOX have very kindly made the logout button 100% free to use! :)

I must admit, I do feel rather popular.

It is just viewed that way for incoming users. The older users who saw it when EVERYTHING was free now see it slowly becoming more pay to play

@4195970,
I would not say it is becoming pay to play. ROBLOX are getting bigger and bigger. Their user base is growing, and ROBLOX is growing with them. How do you think ROBLOX afforded to make BLOXCON in 3 different locations this year?

(By the way, when he refers to ROBLOX as an "are" instead of "it", or "him", he's referring to them as multiple people. That's actually more grammatically correct.)

There are thousands of servers being created in just a few hours; each one costs quite a bit to get started and run. ROBLOX needs A LOT of money.

@USMC, its 419. I agree, with a growing community and staff they have to expand. They leave simple things free but just how long will they remain free?

@THECJ9999DELETED,
I believe that ROBLOX will always remain free.
If they suddenly changed, they would loose a lot of their member, including me, as some people are not allowed to get BC, or cannot afford it. They can continue to introduce BC Only features, as that will not effect the NBC community.

I think that is a good thing.
No one would ever buy Pants/Shirts is everyone could make them, because it's so easy to copy them now.
