Author Topic: Remember that Blox City spam? Yeah Blox City is still around.  (Read 776 times)

As it turns out Blox City is still around and it even has a Discord

Supposedly it's a real thing but the servers are apparently shutting off soon. That doesn't mean there isn't a rabbit hole of various Roblox knockoffs like TruWorlds, BrickPlanet (which allegedly stole assets from Blox City), and Polytoria; others exist as well but there's so loving many. I'm not going to check for a client for this nor for any of the alternatives because I don't believe in potentially installing malware.

These communities are loving wild yo I didn't expect this stuff when I just randomly remembered the Blox City spam from eons past and randomly decided to check if it was still around.

Some highlights:
The client didn't get very many updates since 2016 despite tons of promises that it would.

There was a data breach in 2024 that compromised the developer's Stripe account (and potentially releasing the source code?), attempting to put him 1.4k in debt but ultimately failing due to cooperation from Stripe.

One of the developers in a different knockoff (Brick Hill?) spent way more time talking about politics than developing the game.


also no cap bopimo looks kinda lit

was it a real game all this time? I was under the impression it was a troll and didnt actually exist lol

It's real in the sense it barely exists but did have a genuine presence beyond a simple scam even if the development cycle was immensely troubled.

also I have no idea if the 2016 iteration became Brick Planet or if it's still the same game. My rudimentary research is imprecise and probably incorrect, but I heard assets and I heard the game and dev itself went to Brick Planet, so make of it what you will lol.

also idk if the people who hijacked accounts on the BLF were officially associated with Blox City; don't think we'll ever know.


Correction: According to This Wiki, the BloxCity from 2016 did become BrickPlanet with Isaac Hymer being the owner. There is also another excerpt regarding how he was responsible for the 2012 April Fools hack on Roblox, which heavily implies he was also behind the hacks in the BLF. Here is the relevant excerpt:
Quote
2. Isaac Hymer (the owner of BrickPlanet) was exposed for being a part of the 2012 April Fools hack on Roblox scamming people's money with his Roblox clones. In fact, he has been doing this for an entire decade since 2012.
  • On November 2022, he brought back BrickPlanet. But this time, the premium currency and membership can only be bought with Cryptocurrency, with the page claiming "PayPal will return at a later date." which was later removed a couple months later, which is clearly a scam and a way for Isaac to keep the money. As Cryptocurrency transactions are irreversible.
  • Also when he brings back BrickPlanet, he will remove most of the features off of the site and wipe the database of the players just so he can earn more money, and make players think that the site is "new". Additionally, he would claim these BrickPlanet updates are "new" yet they are the same exact features from his old site in which they are just restored. Especially since the website layout is clearly the same as the old BrickPlanet from 2018/2019.
