Introduction // Alright, so when you think about games you have to pay with robux on roblox, most of them don't give a clear description on what their game is about. That's why many robloxians lose their money when they purchase a game entrance, because they dislike the game. So to fix this problem, add a five minute free pass to all games that require a "pay to play" entrance fee. This will allow the robloxians to know what their buying, it will also allow for a more "need" to buy the game if their addicted to it. \\

After Five Minutes // Once the robloxian has played for five minutes the game will automatically shut down, then the user must pay the regular price to enter the facility. No more game time will be granted from then on. \\

Problem Fixes // Now you might say someone would make a million alts playing their Pay to Play game they love. With simple scripting roblox will be able to create an IP adress tracker on accounts that have used the five minute free pass. If someone tries to create an alt with the same IP address they will not be allowed to use the free pass as they have already used it on another account. \\

Guest Fixes // With guest, they cannot purchase pay to play games; with this comes to options:

1. Guest cannot use the five minute free game pass

2. Guest may use the five minute free game pass, however their IP address must be tracked to ensure they cannot use the five minute free game pass again. \\

Conclusion // Thank you for reading, please post below your support/review! \\

Yeah, using a proxy it's easy. But that's why ROBLOX came up with the Guest ID tracking system. ROBLOX gives Guests the same Guest ID for 1--10 weeks depending on how active they are judging from their IP Adress.

micke gave developers a choice.
- don't let guest use the trial pass
- let guests use the trial pass while their ip address is tracked.

Isn't IP tracking illegal?

I support this, but I'd make so that the trial period can be determined by the owner of the place. For some games, 5 minutes may not be enough.

This can easily be avoided with a script.
And some games are paid access for a reason, y'know.

Scriptable.
Make a gamepass called 'Buy this for permanent access!'
and make a script that kicks you after 5 minutes of being online if you do not have the pass.

and stop using '//' we dont want to script in javascript

First off games that charge pay to play cannot be entered without paying. This part isn't scriptable for users.

just because a less consumer friendly method is available doesn't mean that it should remain that way
though i have to say it certainly it does give you much more freedom in how you make your trial work (for example, if you have a game that is played in rounds, you could kick participating players after a round)

@General, "Santa" isn't real though. Also it's an anagram of "Satan"

B5, please note that stating this is scriptable is completly false. You cannot script this website from your gaming console. I'm not going after free games, I'm trying to allow a more ease system for users of "PAY TO PLAY" games. This will allow games such as "Clash of Clans", to be played for five minutes so you don't waste your money. Although it is a tycoon and stated in the description, not many people actually read desc. Which is why there needs to be a five minute free trial.
