First off - I would like to state that I know this could lead to security problems. But methods can be developed to prevent this problems with some time.

I understand ROBLOX is a massive website and doesn't exactly have the ability to allow Game Data to be saved to their servers from Online Game Play.

Here's what I think -
ROBLOX should give us the ability to provide our own servers that can have that Data Saved onto. This way, ROBLOX doesn't use it's own resources, and we have an ability to save data that's only accessible on one game.

Wouldn't this be awesome? Yea, yea. We would have to provide our own servers. BUT! We would have the ability to save game data so users can come back and play again without losing everything!

I am not saying this can be applied anytime soon because of major security risks that could be involved.

But what would you think of this being a capability? This way, ROBLOX wins for not using their resources, and we win so we can truly save Data for future return to a game!

Tell me what you think!

It called Data Persistence.
I would like to be able to use our own server though. Support.

Well yes, I know Data Persistence is there. But what I am saying is for example -
You play on DAWN RPG. Then, DAWN RPG - Section 2 comes out. It's another level from the game DAWN. So you could then load your data from the server and use it in the other game.

That's what I am trying to say. Yes, just using our own servers is awesome. But using data from one game to another is even more awesome.

Support. It would be nice to have more than 45KB of storage on some places.

Perhaps if you had worded the title a wee bit more accurately.

"Save data to an External Source" sounds like you want to be able to save models or places to something like a thumbdrive which you can obviously already do.

Perhaps something like:

"Data Persistance save to Local storage device"

or something like.
