If you don't know what A/B testing is, use your Google skills to find out.
Now that you know what A/B testing is, can you think of any ways to implement it in a ROBLOX place?
Here is an idea I have: viral data persistence
The server keeps track of known decisions.
local serverDecisions = { [1] = true, -- ROBLOX clicked button A }
When a player enters the server:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player) local serializedTable = player:LoadString("KEY") if serializedTable ~= "" then local playerDecisions = loadstring("return " .. serializedTable)() for userId, choice in pairs(playerDecisions) do serverDecisions[userId] = choice end end end)
When a player leaves the server:
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(player) local serializedTable = SerializeTable(serverDecisions) player:SaveString("KEY", serializedTable) end
So if a player joins a server he will immediately gain the choices of ALL the other players combined. After a while you could enter a server and see the decisions made by hundreds of users over months, in a few seconds! |

It'd be easier if ROBLOX just implemented it.
Yes, it would work, but eventually, the Players' DP would run out.
And honestly, if ROBLOX just implemented server side data saving, they could save money on memory, computing resources, and we could do stuff easier.

| Considering the amount of people that play your games, you would run out of data if you didn't wipe it every other day. |

| Remember, Seranok's specialty is devising crude hacks for stuff that ROBLOX should do but he isn't willing to wait around for. *hint hint cachebusting* |
