Rather than answer a million different threads, I am creating this one post to explain the recent changes in the ROBLOX economy.

As many of you are now aware, we are no longer giving login or traffic bonuses in ROBUX. This has raised a lot of questions.

"Why are you doing this?!" -

We plan to support ourselves by selling virtual goods - hats, shirts, etc, or by letting users sell them to each other and taking a small percentage. This won't work if ROBUX are free, because then we are just giving everything away for free.

"But you were doing it before!" -

We've been issuing ROBUX backed in ad dollars - which are next to worthless. Now ROBUX are backed by subscription costs, so each is worth considerably more. We've been planning this transition for a while now - we even posted about it in the News section 2 weeks ago.

"So the only way to get R$ is to join BC?" -

Yes.

"But I can't join BC!"

We don't expect everyone to join BC. We do want people to be able to have a good time on ROBLOX without paying a dime. That's why we introduced TIX two weeks ago and sell some items for TIX only.

"I want it to be free"

I want everything to be free too. But it's not. The ROBLOX Team believes we have found a good way to support ROBLOX while at the same time keeping the game open and free to play. We do give a lot away for free.

"I'm quitting unless you make it free"

Ok.

It's kind of sad (to me), but I understand why. It makes sense financially to the Roblox staff, and us users are still getting plenty for free!

I thank you guys for still allowing Tickets (for now ;) )

I wonder if anyone will actually 'quit' - I think they'd regret it if they did. Roblox is an excellent game, something that I haven't found anything better to on the Internet!
I've done a lot of searching for good games, too!

GOOD JOB ROBLOX STAFF!

When you think about it, it's actually a pretty smart move, considering that we're gonna have a primitive in-game market.

However, it's gonna be harder to get Kaiser helm :-(

Yes. It reminds me greatly of a game called Club Penguin, which my family encountered before Roblox. They had a worse system - you could get coins, but almost all items where unavailable unless you paid membership, which only allowed you to buy more stuff.

This is a much better method, since you not only get to buy cool things without membership, if you DO get a membership (happens to be the same price, too) then you get to sell AND buy AND create more stuff! It's cool! I'm not about to buy membership (financial issues), but oh well.

You non-BC guys will be able to trade Tx for R$ soon, so don't worry. And TheYumz, you'll get your teepawt soon enough after they implement this.


also: the OK thing was indeed win and awesome. PWNage too.

So can we depend on it (for sure) that we get to have a robux/tickets trading system? (I don't mean with each other, just with the "bank")
