Description
Roblox 3.0 is a body shape and style developed by the creators and developers of ROBLOX.
The design includes more realistic face and hair pieces, along with a more realistic body shape than the Robloxian 2.0 model. The development of body piece is also the same and if not similar to the toy models of KRE-O, a building block-based company that produces toys.
This can be better supported by ROBLOX's endorsement and partnership with the company; ROBLOX once created a user that is intended to endorse the KRE-O Battleship line of KRE-O products by creating a game called KRE-O Battleship Showdown, in which players need to repel an alien invasion on a battleship. The KRE-O Battleship products are based on the 2012 movie Battleship, which is based on the board game of the same name.
Criticism
Unfortunately, many users have criticized this new body as "bad" and "horrible" because such models are a different change of pace for ROBLOX models. Some of the criticism is also partly due to the fact that more older users are more familiar and used to older body models such as the Robloxian 2.0 and Robloxian 1.0 models.
Also, many users were also afraid that Roblox 3.0 may have already attracted more Online Daters, or ODers, due to the realistic appearance of the style and shape. Online dating is considered by many users as a predatory act, since they may seek for a person who is online to date. A lot of users are also worried that ROBLOX might get sued by the LEGO Group, as their arms are very similar to that of a LEGO minifigure.
Roblox 3.0 can most likely attract more grown-up ODers, as said above. They can blend in with children who play on ROBLOX using this new package. ROBLOX parents could most likely look at it as a large problem, since they may be afraid that ODers may scare their child(ren).
Many current players could quit due to the fact that ROBLOX is becoming more unsafe, should Roblox 3.0 be released, since ODers can take advantage of the children playing ROBLOX and could attempt to date them.
Ever since 3.0 was released, ROBLOX already had lost many children who are using the website, witnessed adults coming into ROBLOX, and children lost interest in ROBLOX due to the increased danger of the website.
Pros and Cons
Pros: 1. ROBLOX can gain more popularity for the new body.
2. Characters will look more realistic using this body.
3. Users can now make "Human-like non-player characters" using this body.
Cons:
1. ROBLOX can lose many of its original members of ROBLOX, due to the possible increase of the presence of ODers.
2. Users can become disliked among many users for wearing it, since they may be considered as an online dater.
3. More online daters could appear in ROBLOX, due to the realistic appearances of the bodies.
4. Users could inappropriately create Humanoid NPCs (Non player characters) using the 3.0 bodies.
5. Parents may not let their child(ren) play Roblox due to shape that were similar to teenagers and adults, and some suggestive parts.
6. Adults who come to Roblox due to the presence of the 3.0 bodies can behave badly towards the Roblox community and scare children who play Roblox.
7. More similarity to KRE-O and LEGO than ROBLOX, meaning some of the earlier and original members may dislike how unlike ROBLOX it is.

| I completely agree with you I have played ROBLOX for 3 years now and I say the bodies make people "uglier". The body will of course attract ODers and people will quit. The 3.0 body does not fit in with ROBLOX for this game is going down the drain already now that they are adding this it will ruin the basic point of ROBLOX style: Looking classic. I entirely hate this and like it in no possible way especially the Faces and the Heads. |

| ROBLOX is losing its classic blocky shape. It's like it's not the same game anymore. First 3.0 bodies and now more realistic Smooth Terrain. As beautiful as the Smooth Terrain is, ROBLOX won't be ROBLOX anymore. It will become "ROREALISTIC" because the blocks are being replaced by these new things. |

| We shall now speak in a correct way as the ROLOX Wikia. It is a wonderful way to speak and it can also get you to your goals. We must do it, but the unfortunate mistake of the thread creator of copying it from the said site has sparked such a discussion on this thread that it may permanently leave a bad memory inside the cranium of the living organism operating the device used to generate such messages consisting of segments of text. |

I agree that, for the most part, 3.0 isn't a great package. But this stuff about OD'ers taking over is just some conspiracy theory concocted by people who fear change.
