Hey what's up you guys my name is PhireFox I make ROBLOX videos and this thread is for a ROBLOX video I'm making. This is a question that I've been asking myself a lot lately... What will ROBLOX be like in five years?
To answer that question, let's take a look at ROBLOX's history. The game started out as a simple site heavily influenced by Lego, where kids could pretty much build simple things like houses, spaceships, volcanos.. The game was really kind of simple and you couldn't do a whole bunch of stuff with it.
(sort of theorized thoughts about the ROBLOX admins and the way their think coming up)
However, somewhere in the timespan of 2011 and 2013, ROBLOX admins noticed a severe problem with ROBLOX.. It was too simple. They knew that if they didn't evolve ROBLOX enough to the point where older generations will play it in the future, and if people didn't start taking the site and the games people made on the site more seriously, that ultimately the site would stop growing and probably not be here in ten years.
So, ever since then ROBLOX has been adding seriously cool and amazing things to the site. They've added particle effects, they've added dynamic lighting, they've added a more mature looking UI, they've streamlined the site's layout so that it's not as childish, they've made it so you can make money off of the games you make. Now, just as they wanted, more mature people are playing ROBLOX and they're making these games that earn them like 10,000 dollars a month!
If you're an older player like myself, think back to when you first joined. Did you ever think back then people could make 10,000 dollars a month off of their games on ROBLOX?
IT'S CRAZY.
So now that I've brought all that up.. Clearly ROBLOX is aiming to make the game more mature and awesome, and ... Kind of like a cooler version of steam where all the games are user-made and free.
So with that in mind, what will ROBLOX be like in the year 2020?
(serious replies and insightful thoughts will be put into my new discussion video "What Will ROBLOX Be Like in Five Years?")

| It will definatly be nothing like it was now. Probably like realistic looking landscape with real aninamtions. I feel like they can't change ROBLOX that much and have to keep to some some core things about it (Lego theme) |

I think there might be different administrators by then.
And after that, you never know what's going to happen.
I hope it gets better (in other words, not worse than it is at the moment) |

One thing is for sure, there will be much more devs, a lot more players that are active since the bigger world population, and probably not all but almost every 07-08 account will be inactive. (I hopefully won't be) I also think that the quality would massively increase. I'm not saying that it would probably look like GTA V on ultra, but it will be stronger quality, faster framerate, and enhanced graphics.
This is just a prediction though. There is no way to confirm it will happen. For all we know ROBLOX may actually be gone by 2020.

| Tt might become like that, however if you look at the front page what you see is mostly scam games. So it can also become to the point where the front page is completely filled with scam games, it is unlikely but it can happen. |

| I think it will be a lot more advanced and the company will be giving out a lot more Dev's. Therefore they will be giving out more money through DevEX. I don't think they will make as much money as they are now. |

| Also Phire, maybe in the future ROBLOX can have advanced physics without the client crashing. Such as water falling instead of floating and not blocky... perhaps they could start out with simple water physics like MC then slowly advance? |

| At its first inception Roblox was an Idea, an Idea to bring a Lego style game to the internet, it evolved over time with features and updates, it went from a building focused game to a more social with dev availability, as where Roblox will be in 2020? I can't say 100 percent, its all up to what the players want and what the Roblox Team really wants added, I could see some more player interaction between the Roblox Team and the Players (Trusted Players with Mod powers like some MMO'S) and a even greater focus on Dev made games. |

ROBLOX in 5 years will probably be filled with Devs (No lie about that) and hopefully a little more mature people, with more realistic pixels, with no copiers.
