ROBLOX. We all know this game as a fun, stress-relieving game. Well, atleast it was like that. Anyway, let's go along with the history of ROBLOXia and see all of it's great years.

2005- This year was it's first year. This was beta year, so it was still being tested. They made ROBLOX open beta on September 1st, 2005. There were so few players back then, that whenever a player entered a game, the entire ROBLOX office stopped doing work and jumped into a game with him/her to make sure they had someone to play with them. Like I said, there were not very many players at this time (Seince it was beta).

2006- Ah, the year when ROBLOX was out of beta and open to the public. ROBLOX was like a freshly open cake, ready to be eaten (or played in this case) with joy. This year was the year when we had the least amount of players join (except 2005, but that was beta), with only around 9,000+ players joining. Even though there was not many players this year, people still had lot's of fun playing with friends! There was no such thing as a "Noob" back then, seince really everyone but the admins were new to this game. ROBLOX was now midway into the peak of it's golden years (2005 was the take-off).

2007- This by far is the most famous year of ROBLOX. Over 100,000 people joined in 2007, which is a lot seince ROBLOX was fairly new. People like JJ5x5 started making games like amusement parks, so they could entertain the players. Crossroads was becoming more and more popular. This was the first year Hats and T-Shirts came out! Places back then were new and original. Fresh places were popping up everywhere (Some, like Miked's Paintball became mega famous). 2007 also had the first planes, cars, and teleporters. All sorts of touch activated buttons were being made. Back in these days, people like JacobtheHero2007 and JJ5x5 and Fleskhjerta were making videos for YouTube about ROBLOX bloopers and gone crazy. ROBLOX also added models to be created by users! ROBLOX was at the peak of it's golden years.

2008- This was the last year of what people say was "The Golden Years". ROBLOX had about 900,000 players join this year. Due to ROBLOX's huge success and advertising, this is how 900,000 players joined. More famous ROBLOXians were showing up. Groups have not yet been invented, so there were not "[Insert Group Name] Training Centers" or anything, yet. Instead, we had Brickbattle places in the golden years. For example, Crossroads, which was still growing bigger in the ROBLOX Community in 2008. In 2008, Sword Fight's on the Heights was also getting more and more attention. Also, in 2008 the first ROBLOX Egg Hunt came! This brought lot's of users to go into the Egg Hunt place and find all the eggs! Also, Heads came into ROBLOX, and Shirts, and Pants! Everything seemed to be going good,But, alas, ROBLOX's "Golden Years" was almost at an end. But that does not mean ROBLOX will not keep getting better. ROBLOX is about to become something some people would have never thought was possible for this game.

2009- 2009 was an interesting year. Gear came into ROBLOX, and Faces. But the one thing I do not understand is why some people thought it was a bad year (Well, some people). I mean, about everything was still classic, just about the same as 2008. But, of course, ROBLOX was not bad in this year. Instead, ROBLOX was growing stronger and stronger. This year about 5,000,000 players joined. This was an amazing feat for ROBLOX. They must have drawn in players with the "ROBLOX: Online Hangout" ad. That was a very smart marketing plan they had. That video showed what ROBLOX was, an online hangout, where you build with friends and hangout. Even, as it said, blow up things if you wanted (Don't delete people creations with out their approval, it's bad as i'm sure everyone knows). 2009 was not a bad year, it was a good year. ROBLOX is like a seed, and at this point ROBLOX was sprouting it's leafs and about to endure a long trudge threw the forces of nature (The internet).

2010- At the start of 2010, everything looked and felt like it was going to be like 2009. Though, it took a turn when ROBLOX added bodies in the middle of 2010. Now, i'm not saying the bodies are bad, it's just they changed a lot about ROBLOX here. First, they made thme BC (Builders Club) only. At the beginning of the bodies, they had test bodies. Then they brought out the real ones. Some other things ROBLOX changed this year was the backpack, but really all they did here was change the look of it. Two really cool things this year was the Egg Hunt and the Halloween Game of 2010.

2011- 2011 was a continuing of the changes made in 2010. They finally changed the game board (I was sad about that), and they made changes to the backpack. This year they did not have an Egg hunt (Saddly). The biggest thing that happend this year was the ROBLOX Rally! This was very big and was held in California! The Rally was held in the summer of 2011.

2012- This year was not very interesting. This year had the ROBLOX Game Conference, the Easter Egg Hunt of 2012, and something..odd. On April 1st, 2012, there was a hack so big that ROBLOX had to shut the entire site down. There was not much big things that happend this year, but if anyone wants to add anything that they thought was inportaint about ANY year, post the year below and your addon.

2013- This year had the Easter Egg Hunt of 2013. And the ROBLOX Bloxcon is coming in London and New York! So those are three importaint things that happend this year already. What will be coming up in the next half of the year? What will happen? Will there be any big changes? Who knows. I will post about the years end when it is the years end! Anyway, I hope you liked my timeline!

Adding in for 2009- Also, 2009 was a big year for exploters. 1x1x1x1 came into play and he was a big problem in ROBLOX.

WOW ANOTHER ONE OF THESE!?!?!?! THESE ARE AWESOME!!! YOU TELL THE TROOF MAH BRUTHA.

No but in all srs, ROBLOX is getting better gameplay-wise. "Oh but we don't have our cool round block top stud things, and no moar ultimate paintball or da cool decently priced hats, we only got da spammers and da bad games".

I'm gonna keep this short, ROBLOX has done well on progressing the effectiveness and simplicity of making a good game, and occasionally, a really great game will make it to the front page. Yeah there are spammers and dumb players, ignore them, everyone who writes these long-ass posts is just another half-empty kind of person. Grow a pair and accept that ROBLOX is moving on from having immobile yellow blocks move around in some basic platform map.

Jeeze.

No, Blox, this was not copied and pasted. This took my thirty minutes to gather some information, write it up on here, then post it.

;D Anytime.

I can agree, back when I joined in 2008 (different account), I had a blast, everything was new and unexpected, and really neat and cool. But ROBLOX is making a comeback with all these new features in the Studio and in gameplay itself. The whole "grow a pair" thing was a joke.

Yes, there is something about coming into ROBLOX for the first time that fills our eyes with wonder, strengthening our imaginations, and helps us imagine our future. Also, i've been around seince 2007 but not on an account. I used to read stuff over ROBLOX.

2008 ended pretty badly when they cancelled the Winter Contest cause mods got tired.
