I have met a ROBLOX employee IRL yesterday. He will remain unnamed in this post for the sake of confidentiality.
He stated that the ROBLOX team is planning to remove the R6 avatar this autumn. In October, all characters will be automatically switched to R15 and R6 support will only continue in studio. It will only be possible to generate R6 characters using scripts as there will be no more R6 option in the "Avatar" page. The R6 character format will be completely deprecated just like old terrain in January 2018.
When I asked for reasons, I was told that the maintaining of two rig types at once not only causes problems and consumes time but also leads to a "style violation". One of the reasons for the removal of R6 is as such uniformity - after all, it's ugly when character rigs vary!
I do not support this change and would rather have R15 removed but nothing can be done about it. I'm just warning you because the devs were lying when they said that they're not gonna remove R6. The change will remain unannounced and will occur in an overnight action, probably around October the 17th.

I hope you realized this by now, it's not bait,
It will be really funny when they actually delete it but you didn't believe me.
So I will track this thread to link everyone after R6 is removed.

I too would rather have R15 removed. R15 is garbage that Roblox is forcing upon us and I find it to be very glitchy to engage in gameplay with it, frequently noticing that it randomly pings about. Also, shoes duplicate onto the character's knees and the idle animation looks like you're about to take a massive... well, you get the idea.
With R6, however, you get much better control of your character, it looks far better imo, there are no cancerous animations which players can mix and match to look ridiculous, etc... |

| I wisg it was still possible for forum moderators to ban people these days for spreading rumors. If it was your fault for spreading misinformation back in the day it was a one week vacation for such stupid threads. Now they can't get banned like they deserve because everyone is equally clueless about things these days. |

The only proof I have is that it will happen, just wait, I stated the date. (october 17th)
Also remember how we though they wouldn't remove tickets but they did? Same thing here. Sorry.

The only people that seem to actually like R15 are the noobs who have always had their rig set to R15 by default and probably don't even look at the customise page because they can't afford anything.
All they do on Roblox is play Roblox High School or some other trash. |
