Remember back in the day when everyone used the same, standard ROBLOXian body? Those were good times. There weren’t any ways to modify your outfit; it was what it was.

Shortly after character animation was introduced, hats and T-shirts came out. Sometime around then, so did the ability to change body colors. This was perfect for users to customize their outfits and show off their individuality. Only Builder’s Club members could sell their T-shirts for a profit, but any user could make their own T-shirt. All was well.

Suddenly, in mid-2008, even more opportunities opened up with the introduction of shirts and pants. Unlike T-shirts, shirts covered all six sides of the torso, as well as the arms, while pants covered the torso and legs. There were mixed feelings about this, but most people were able to cope with it. However, the free users were unhappy with the fact that only premium members can make shirts and pants, as well as sell them for a profit. This was a slap in the face to the free users, but as new shirts and pants came out, even more possibilities emerged. Later, a new fad emerged: The “tiny body/giant head” fad. I cannot recall the name of the ROBLOXian who started said fad, but the fad was widespread across the community. Combined with zipperipper’s invisible shirt and pants glitch, the tiny body fad was a fun and amusing display for ROBLOXians’ profile pictures. Not even Are92 could resist its charm! The fad eventually died off, perhaps due to the fact that zipperipper’s glitch clothes no longer worked.

The ROBLOX developers knew they had a hit on their hands and continued the trend of new ways to enhance the appearance of a player rather than concentrate on enhancing the overall gameplay. When heads and faces came out, some ROBLOXians were thrilled, but others began to think that ROBLOX was taking things a bit too far. In fact, when Telamon began filming for a new ROBLOX trailer (“Online Social Hangout – ROBLOX”, the video seen on the website’s main page at the time of this writing), he forbade the use of the standard head; only new heads. Another rule written in the description of the place read, “NO YELLOW HEADS!” What was he thinking? The normal, yellow head has been part of the classic look of ROBLOXians for years. Why change what the veterans grew up with? The video was also full of nothing but lies: “Don’t like our stuff? Make your own! For free!” What is he talking about? You need to buy Builder’s Club to make your own shirts and pants! Not to mention, you can’t even make your own hats, heads or faces, either. In addition, the video mentioned nothing about T-shirts. Even more ROBLOXians began to doubt.

And just when we thought things had gotten out of hand, SURPRISE! Reports of Bodies came flooding in from people who frequent the test server. The community was up in arms already. When the bodies were officially released, the community went absolutely ballistic. It was pure madness (we’re not talking about Sparta; we’re talking about pure, genuine madness). What was a real slap in the face was that free users were screwed over more than ever before: Only BC members could purchase bodies! But then again, why would anyone want to, anyway? Bodies, if you ask me, go completely against what ROBLOX veterans grew up with, especially those from 2006. This is obviously yet another ploy for ROBLOX to get more money from its unsuspecting customers. It may not be a requirement to use the new bodies, but that isn’t enough to convince ROBLOXians not to be pissed off. We all thought ROBLOX was going for a virtual block world with block people, not a virtual block world with semi-human figures running around. Now, ROBLOX has officially gone too far, no matter how cool some of the bodies look.

Then came the Triple Hat Glitch Feature. Now no one needs to use the infamous Double Hat Glitch (DHG) or Triple Hat Glitch (THG) to wear multiple hats at once. While it’s a brilliant new feature with some hats (Ninja mask + Swordpack), it diminishes the uniqueness of the feature. Some people used the DHG or THG or even QHG (Quadruple Hat Glitch) to take their uniqueness to a whole new level. Back in the old days, only a couple people sported the DHG, such as Django136 and ICE128. Now anyone can do it, especially since it’s now a built-in feature.

While the new ways to change ROBLOXians’ outfits were sometimes great ideas, some of them still cause for veterans to long for the old days. Many veterans would choose to see ROBLOX in its heyday again over finding new ways to change their outfit in a heartbeat. No matter what ROBLOX does, the longtime veterans are certain to always feel an unfilled hole in their hearts for years to come.

Well I see what you're saying here. I disagree though. It's the player's option to change their outfit and but BC.

Yeah. Sad the community is too stupid to read it now. Like really, it's not that hard. I'll be honest, when the first bear thing came out I was pretty excited. I thought it was cool. Then I found out they'd be BC only. Let's not forget BC games too.
