As tickets are being removed, I think it's a safe decision to make ROBLOX free to play. If ROBLOX becomes free to play, there will be less inexperienced players, and the economy will become MUCH more stable.

ROBLOX would be purchasable for about $6USD, and users who purchase it get 5 a day, and it would only have to be bought one time and one time only. Users can upgrade to 3 tiers, BC, TBC, and OBC. The benefits will be the same, but each tier will get a 10 boost from what it is now, each tier would also have to be purchasable once. BC would be $12USD, TBC would be $24USD, and OBC would be $48USD, but the prices are concepts and could be lowered or raised. If a user currently has a membership, they are given ROBLOX for free, and ROBUX would be given for how much you have paid for in memberships before.

User who do not have a membership will be reverted to a sort of Guest mode, where their account is "locked". Their items, places, ROBUX, etc. will still be there, but you are not able to use them until you cough up the $5.

This will save ROBLOX's financial problem it seems to have and will make the experience that much better.

So, who's with me?

BC/TBC/OBC would be way too expensive.

Why did you first said that it should be a Free-To-Play? Also,I don't think that it would be a good idea. Because,imagine how a poor kid (by poor I mean financially) would be able to play? But,everyone can have their opinions.

Think about how many phone calls roblox will be getting because children keep stealing their parent's credit carsd.

I don't think it should be Pay2Play because they are getting rid of Tickets because they said they are too confusing to new Players, So that means all the new players would have too pay!, But it would get them out of finacial trouble but they aren't they said it on the blog <_<. And the BC prices are insane! nobody would buy that if they are that expensive they should raise the robux per day. So in conclusion i don't think it should be pay to play some Players would quit the game People are already mad about tix don't wanna make them madder.

Roblox is ALREADY pay to play.

Have you ever heard of Paid Access games? And the now-obsolete BC Games.

One thing i ll already see is less players, new players look bad enough, plus paying to play and buying to get new hats, clothes, etc. Roblox would fall

Thanks to TRUSTe, I have now noticed that I accidentally wrote down free to play instead of pay to play, oops!

More info about Guest mode:

Those on Guest mode will still be able to play the games, but they simply cannot access the following pages:

Catalog
Develop
Forums
Profile
Character
Inventory
Trade
Groups
ROBUX

Guests [i] already [/i] don't have those.

I really dont support this. ROBLOX has always been free, and I don't see how changing that would solve more problems than it would cause.

I was thinking that if somebody gets BC at least once, they're in for free.

Okay, so say Roblox, by some miracle of the devil, actually follows your suggestion. The number of players would decrease dramatically, once because many can't pay, and again because many others would be absolutely furious.

Now look at the kids who would be willing to steal their parent's money to go on Roblox. Not only would players be furious, so would their parents. Don't you see how bad this idea is already? No? I'll continue then.

Then, despite the prices, Roblox would continue to decline financially, because people would only buy BC three times at most. Including the limited number of players and the fact that new players would be put off, Roblox would go bankrupt really quickly.

Now do you see how bad this idea is? If Roblox makes things too expensive like you seem to think is okay, then Roblox would be worse off.

No. Just no.

ROBLOX would go bankrupt almost instantly if this happened.
