The one problem I find with the iPad OR iPhone app is that it is hard to compete against others on PC/MAC. They have more of an advantage than we do. Perhaps there should be a separate server on each game for Roblox Mobile. That would help alot.

We've thought about this a bit. You make a great point about splitting up users, but a few notes:
1. Not every game needs to be split up. Many will play just the same on the iPad or iPhone. 2. People like to play with their friends. How mad would you be if you couldn't play with a friend because he or she was on a different platform? 3. There are a lot more PC and Mac users compared to iPhone/iPad. If we didn't let devices mix on the same server, ROBLOX might look a bit empty to iOS players: A game might say it has 100 players playing, but you go in on an iPhone and find yourself alone. 4. The same argument can be made for crappy PCs vs super-awesome gamer PCs. Should we segment servers based on your desktop system performance as well? How far does this go?
We have talked about giving the option of splitting up game servers to the game creator: let them decide who can play, and whether there are separate servers. But I'm not sure if this will make games better for iOS or worse.
TL;DR its an interesting idea, and we're thinking about it, but it could backfire. |

No the actual real problem is the game keeps closing since I'm using a Mac 10.5.8 I have to use a mobile device and it pisses me off because I can't stay in a game long enou before it does game closed its pretty annoying because I want to play this one rp place and it always game closes on the first few seconds and its really annoying do you have a way that I can contact roblox because his issue is really annoying to me

@Tobot It could backfire, unless we have a large amount of iOS based users.
Take MineCraft for xbox360 for example.
I'm positive they have their servers split up by platform, but that's only because MineCraft has a large enough base platform users to never be alone. |

@Tobot
System>Apps>Roblox>Settings> and it's optional to be seperated? I'm not very good at this tech stuff but I think it could work. |
