Alright we all know about Roblox and there sudden Maintenance checks. We'll I am sick of them. I was playing Sandbox (1) working on a creation for about 2 hours and saved it frequently so if I were to lose connection I could get on later and keep building. Well as I was building Roblox just quits on me and a red banner shows up their doing Maintenance tests. I forgot to save at a point so I would have to redo a couple of blocks no big deal. Well when I could finally get online I try to load up the file and its completely gone. So that was 2 hours of my life just taken after I saved countless times. And I've also had this same problem while building on my games solo. Then I would rebuild my work over and over again. I suggest Roblox can add about a 30min. warning banner saying they are doing these Updates or Maintenances so we can save our data and let them do what they need to do.

They're doing maintenance almost every night. I understand that they like to make and test new content now and then, but it's almost every night that we're disconnected.

Other games such as Wizard101 and ToonTown (when it was open cri) would do updates early in the morning when I wasn't awake. That was nice, they should do updates really early in the morning.

Thing is people live in different time zones. Its not accurate at some places. It was around 12 here where I live and usually me and my buddys are wide awake. Either way morning or night there needs to be at least a 30min. warning before they just cut off the few remaining players.

Do you not understand what time-zones are? You learn them in at least grade 6, well at least that was when I was taught time-zones. "Early in the morning" could be the middle of the day somewhere else in the world, it would be impossible for ROBLOX to update "Early in the morning" for everyone.

Was that really necessary?

Let me revise myself.
*Early in the morning for most people who play Roblox.

I believe the majority of people who play Roblox live in North America. So, we have a mutual time zone (PST) which would be a good time to close Roblox for maintenance. And, if it is 1:00 PM somewhere else, oh well. You can't really please anyone.

They should just learn how to do big updates about once a month like they used to. Usually there updates are pointless to. Come on roblox! We love the fact you are working on the game but please make it so it doesn't happen every night/day. You guys used to update once a Month.

Again to the point. It doesn't matter when they do it or how they do it. They need to warn us before they do it. But it would be better if they did it all at once.

The sandbox game should have a automatic save every 5 Minutes...

Yeah. But this same thing has happened to me while I wasn't on the game I way building on my own game and I don't want to repetitively leave and enter my game just to save every few minutes. Usually when i'm in a game I would go to my home menu and look at things while still in-game. Well then I could see a banner like oh "Roblox will be doing a system update in 12 minutes. Please save your data."

Updates don't normally occur until late night in the United States. They usally occur when most people are offline and have gone to bed(Around 1 AM CDT) As for the warnings, roblox doesn't always know when the servers might shutdown, some nights they think they will shut down, but they never do, it can be quite arbitrary at times. All and all, no support.

@iBrandyn

There wasn't really a need to be rude there, anyways.

There is 10 different time-zones in the North America, you act as if everyone in North America lives in the PST time-zone area. Also, considering of what you have said before: "It was nice when they updated early in the morning when I was asleep". Makes you sound like a hypocrite for saying "And, if it is 1:00 PM somewhere else, oh well".
