Considering most things are for the elitist BC group of Roblox, it might as well just be Pay 2 Play.

Most things are for BC, because they pay. Without NBC, much of ROBLOX's BC members would quit. We technically don't pay, but without us, ROBLOX would be a very small populated game. Without NBC, ROBLOX would die off. Without BC, ROBLOX would die off. We have it as a measured scale.

I'd like to see statistics for how many BCers there are compared to NBCers.

NBCers make up more than 70%, I last heard.

Heard, not confirmed. I highly doubt Roblox could pay the bills with 30% of the community paying anyways.

This game is almost a pay 2 play, with all the BC only features.

(Sorry I had to change the title, it was so bothering me)
No, NBC actually can play games, for now...
But think of how many people ROBLOX is going to lose for this.

Chiry, stop posting the WNTS and making an arrow. It's annoying.

Anyways, stop acting like NBC have nothing to do with profit.
LOOK AROUND YOUR SCREEN. SEE AN AD? SEE MULTIPLE ONES?
WHAT ABOUT WHEN YOU PLAY A GAME? SEE AN AD THEN?
NBC do.
Let's just say, that ONE ad, per every NBC view, gets ROBLOX 1 CENT.
1/100th of a USD. 1 Penny. etc.
On the average forum page, let's say there are 10 ads. You know, those long ones with page stretchers.
That's 10 cents. Right there.
Well, how about scrolling though a couple pages. Say, 50 cents. 1/2 a USD. 50 pennys. 10 Nickles. 5 dime.
Say, the NBCer plays every day that month. That's 15 Dollars. About... 3/4 of an OBCer.
SO, YOUR LOGIC. HAS FAILED.
Not to mention ads when entering a game, or if some one plays longer then seeing 50 ads. Trust me, there are FAR more then that.
So, profit generation:
NBC > BCs.
Logic'd.

I bet Roblox will just continue to pull features away from NBC.

To the guy with the multiple digits and one letter, I don't see any ads on forums.
I doubt impressions actually make money, more like a click that does. The ads are mostly Roblox ones too, making no gain. Most of your post is a hypothetical situation that doesn't even occur.

@Ninja

But most of it has. Look for a hat that'll cost Tix, besides the yearly one. Now compare that ratio to the ones that cost Robux.

I suggested this once and everyone cried. It won't happen because roblox makes a lot of money off of advertisements shown to non-builders club members.

30%= About 3,000 people. 3,000 x $7 as a minimum.... Lots of cash there...

That's why there's a monthly subscription thing with BC. You're keeping a constant supply. If there's less people, less money would be needed for servers and that'd also help with lag. Look at Minecraft, you buy it once and Notch is a millionaire taking constant vacations, difference is that the servers are hosted by players with software. If Roblox did that too, then who knows.

I'd support, I remember in '08 when Tix actually meant something.

Even though the price for ROBLOX would drop, so would the amount of players. This would cause ROBLOX to eventually go bankrupt, because they can't pay their workers. Sorry, but it has to be done. It is very hard for meto do this, but....

-1 ToTo. I'm so sorry.
