Because so many kids love to say that "old roblox" was better, i thought i'd compile a bunch of reasons as to why that is NOT true at all!
Reason 1 will be about how terrible the games were. This is the complete evolution of Work at a Pizza Place, and this is gameplay of COD: World at War, which was released in the same year as Work at a Pizza Place. Compared to newer roblox games (PF from 2 years ago shown here), games back then were pure trash.
Reason 2 is about Website Parties. These may seem fun on the surface, but were incredibly frustrating. If the party leader joined a game, all the other party members were forced to join that game too, even if the party members are already in a game.
For Reason 3 im gonna prove that Guests do not need to return. In my opinion, the Guest avatars looked good (i had one myself), but Guests were completely useless. They could only talk via a very limited chat menu, which was removed later on, making them not be able to chat. The decision to remove guests was a very good decision that Roblox made, as it increased the amount of created accounts by a lot.
Reason 4 is gonna be very short and simple. Tix had a very good reason to be completely removed. The reason is that when someone visited your game, you got 1 ticket. 10 Tix could be converted to 1 Robuck. People simply botted their games and enjoyed their free money with real life value.
Reason 5 is gonna be about BC. Without Builders Club, you couldn't:
-Have more than one public game
-Join more than 5 groups
-Sell things
-Make clothing
-Make badges
-Have Personal Servers (old name for VIP servers)
BC was also hilariously expensive for what it was. Annual regular BC costed 58 dollars and 3 months of TBC costed 30 dollars, all for some benefits, most of which are now free. The BC hard hats have recently gone onsale as Limiteds too.
Reason 6 is about the harshness of bans. You used to be able to get a 2-week long ban until a few years ago, and you could also get a Forum Purge, which completely wiped ALL of your forum posts.
Reason 7 is about the Forums. It would be nice to have an official Roblox forum return, but it had a lot of issues. Notably, anyone who posted on Forum 34 would get terminated for no reason, which resulted in tons of account losses just for checking out a little hidden forum with nothing on it. Many Subforums were also subject to a LOT of drama and toxicity, and several questionable incidents like one person threatening to shoot up a school, and a compromised account posting CP (Cheese Pizza totally).
Reason 8 is 13+ Items. This was only from 2019 or so but a lot of the aforementioned kids love to say that is "old roblox" too so ill still talk about it. For about a year, you could not buy any gun-related items if your account was under 13. This feature was absolutely stupid and got removed in early 2020.
There are all my reasons as to why i think "old Roblox" was not better. Send this thread to any person who tries to convince you that it was.
