It would be much easier to make single player games.
And before you say 'scriptable', I personally know how to script, but most others don't, and features are always better and more reliable then scripts in general.

What do you think?

i always wanted to make single player RPG's, then found out that the minimum players on a server is 6, full support. although ROBLOX is a multiplayer online game. single player games could be a nice add-on.

Oh yes, and just a couple hundred single player RPG's will crash ROBLOX completely...You know, they get over 200 million servers a week and they don't lose any money. So how would single player servers cost that much more?

Let's see.... Minimum is 6, and there are 200 million servers as you say.
Now, min and max is 1 for singleplayer. When we split up players, it requires more servers.
So take the 6 players and split them up. Then you have 6 times the 200 million servers, which is ALOT.

it's not like every single player is going to go on single player servers...also better idea: have player be in single player servers yes, but have it run in the same game, this way it'd take less servers.

Couldn't staff magically whip it up so that they run on the same server but different clients?

Or the owner of the game can allow players to install an offline version of the game. It can't be run through studio or anything, just there to play offline.

We don't need ROBLOX servers for single-player games! Just a client that serves itself!

I also support this, but I also (almost at first glance thought of this) came up with a way to make it where ROBLOX doesn't actually host these ''single player'' servers. When you go to play a server on single player instead of having it hosted on the internet you would play it from the site in an ''offline mode''.

So if you went to play lets say... a tycoon. When you clicked ''play solo'' you would be downloading that particular game instantly to your computer's ''temporary memory'' and when you stopped playing this game the data is removed from your pc's temp. memory.

Cahier, I don't see how that won't work. As long as it doesn't make copying places easier.

As nice as that'd be, no.
For an offline game that a user wishes to play over and over again, could you imagine how much bandwidth it would take to constantly download it over and over again?
Rather than saving to the temporary memory, save it somewhere else, and let the user open up that version whenever they wish.
The only flaw in that is updates to the place though. Oh well.

"JUST PLAY SOLO"

Play solo opens up the ability to copy the place. What were you even thinking when you posted this?

1. your place has to be public domain and copy-able in order to play solo currently...people, research before you state a fact...

2. if i made an RPG public domain so people could play solo on it, everyone would copy it. -.-

Well, it doesn't need to be a server per-say, it could download the world and open it on a local "server" for one player to play on.
