Yeah... No. It just wouldn't work. You would be unable to join any games, etc - So what's the point?

This wouldn't work. We would have to have 2 APIs, which would be impossible because 1 game cant run on 2 APIs if it is just made with one software.

How about this only works for places made for said version of ROBLOX, so we wouldn't have to deal with broken scripts.

Newer places use new ROBLOX. While older ones use old ROBLOX.

Or, we could all just use one client as we have done for years without incident.

There's simply no need for this.

C'mon! What harm will it do?

Play an older ROBLOX place on OLD ROBLOX clients. (Can use a newer client if you want.)

Play a newer ROBLOX place on the LATEST ROBLOX clients. (Can't use a classic client on a new ROBLOX place.)

Yep

if more things were optional it would benefit ROBLOX a lot.

It's good game design, too.

How'd you think Minecraft got famous?
You had the choice to do all sorts of things unlike most games today having you follow what the designers want you to do.

@Cav,
"What harm will it do?"

The main issue here is the fact that in older varieties of ROBLOX, there are a number of exploits, "hacks", etcetera. It's also exactly the same thing as the current ROBLOX, just without a number of new features - I don't see the point in it.

I'd also like to point out that ROBLOX isn't Minecraft. There is absolutely no reason why ROBLOX should follow Minecraft's way of doing things.

Minecraft is more famous due to the youtubers, and the fact that it has a strong modding community. Everything you can do in Minecraft can be done here, every single mod. You could build a complete Roblox version of Minecraft if you wanted. Why buy DayZ when we have a better one (in my opinion) here and it's free? Minecraft has more limitations than Roblox actually. Just not being to play on an old client is not a good reason to say we are "limited" because an old client is not even needed.

I know that older ROBLOX can be exploited, but having the choice to play the classic places is a very good offer! (The new ROBLOX places DO use the newest version of the ROBLOX server software so the classic clients can't use it.)

And yes, I do think ROBLOX should follow the "idea" on what the guys behind Minecraft are doing - giving the player choice.

The players DO have a choice on Roblox, saying that we don't have a choice because we can't use an old client is simply ignorant.

No it wouldn't be, it would be inconvenient having to switch clients for certain games. It would *probably* be more of a strain on Roblox as well. It just overall isn't worth it.

Then let it be your choice to switch clients for older places.

I'd say it's inconvenient to play an older place to later know that it's broken on newer clients.

ROBLOX doesn't keep old formats and designs archived. This suggestion will go nowhere.

Name some games where it would be convenient.

How about like Minecraft? You can decide which version your places support. And depending on the selected versions you need to follow certain script commands?

Maybe a setting ingame which allows you to make it look like old graphics?
