Author Topic: Looking at Roblox from a neutral standpoint.  (Read 4886 times)

The style of Roblox just doesn't apply to me as much as the style of Blockland.
That is why i never bothered to play Roblox.
Just a matter of taste of style.
Not that it is a bad style, don't get me wrong.

Anyhow, sounds like you had some fun and i am glad to hear that there are people who can just say that they are neutral as to their position between Blockland and Roblox.
They both have their good stuff and bad stuff.
People need to accept that and just play. ;)

My account of 6 years (that I had spent loads on) got deleted because I posted "Stop moaning" in a forum thread, due to someone complaining over and over again about a stupid and easily fixed thing.
oh and most of the admins are absolutely horrifying  - <3 rotondo
That's why I dislike Roblox.

I don't mind ROBLOX, as long as I stay away from the Forums, and stuffty games it has.

Roblox is actually not a bad game if you're looking at it from an un-biased and non-partisan viewpoint. If you're looking at it from the point of a blockland or minecraft player who actively plays the games and is an active player in the blockland community, you're definitely going to think that roblox is bad, because there's a lot of bias on the other side of the spectrum that will make you hate them. If you're playing, however, from the viewpoint of someone just playing it for the first time, you'll have fun. Like Vinny said, Sword Fights on the Heights is fun, and so are a lot of other servers. But it's the fact that you have enough experience with games that Roblox is against that changes how you look at it, because you're obviously going to hate a game if the people who play it hate one of your favorite games, obviously. That's how everyone is, really. Justin Bieber fans hate other types of music because we're so hostile to them that we don't accept them into other forms of music. That's only an example, though. I swear when I played it in 2009, before Minecraft, before Roblox, it was the stuff.

People say Blockland is better than Roblox. Others say Blockland is better than Roblox. Some even say they're equal.
what

you said the same thing twice

what

you said the same thing twice
God

Yea I was tired last night

if roblox had a better community, i would still like blockland better

You know how RP's suck on Blockland? They're worse on ROBLOX.
After reading this, I decided to go back to ROBLOX just to see how it was. I had truckloads of ROBUX because of my Lifetime OBC I purchased a long while ago. (Obesity)
I went over to a popular RP game. Dragon Ball Z Adventures or something. I didn't care. It had plenty of people. (Around 1,000?)
I joined and spawned, only to find out that this game had a training system and a combat system. It also saved, meaning that if you leveled up, you kept your level. Training was easy. You just charge up Ki and spam Energy balls then beat up a Doge. One thing I despise is the saving. Training takes such a long time to do, it's also extremely tiring and boring. Then people come around, bloating about how strong they are because they wasted a week of their life training on the game. They see me, training and beating up a Doge. He just comes around and calls me a "noob". Then he beats me into a pulp. When I had about five HP left and I was crawling on the ground to get away, he uses an extremely overpowered attack called "Meteor Combination" which has the user beat you brutally then jump into the air and shoot a giant beam laser at you. It finished me off and I respawned. I began training again and then another one comes around. He was stronger than me, but not as strong as the other guy. He said "give me 2000 robux or die". I refused, and he made me into a cold glass of lemonade. I respawned, and he just searched the world to find me. He found me training in the snow, and he killed me again.
I was only able to level up once, I still wasn't able to use Energy Blasts or Super Kamehameha's. Heck, I wasn't even able to shoot an Energy beam, making me squishy. With all of the people being so motherloving powerful and me, as a newcomer, being constantly bullied by them. I was forced to HIDE to train. It took me a while, but I finally got strong enough to use some more attacks. The person who relentlessly attacked me appeared again, this time, he charged at me on sight. I used my new attacks; "Bone Crusher" and "Energy Beam" to kill him at last. He calls me a "noob" over and over and over until he just leaves. I check his profile and he added me to his "noob" list. It's honestly sad and pathetic. Then the guy who bloated about his strength came back to the server and respawned. He saw me and began spamming energy attacks. Then his posse came around and began beating me up too. I had to fly around the server for thirty minutes just so they could spam the chat and call me a noob over and over. At least they weren't attacking me. I found a guy who said he would team up with me. He was stronger than Mr. Bloat. A lot. However, he wanted ROBUX. What is with this community? If you simply want some protection over a stupid GAME, you have to pay them. I refused and he kills me. That's when I pushed myself. I trained non-stop for an hour. I came back to the guy and he said "lol, ready to pay me". I charged at him and killed him. He reacted the same way the other guy did. He just called me a noob. Eventually, he attacked everyone on the server until they'd turn against me and attack me. So this guy gets all butthurt because he wanted to scam me, so he tells everyone to attack me "OR ELSE". I left the game and I got a PM from him two minutes later. It was an extremely well written paragraph about how much I suck.

lol ur a coward ur scared of some people go crawl back in your hole you big noob thats right noob noob noob noob noob noob noob (It just said Noob over and over)
Clearly, this community cannot handle not getting what they want. It disgusts me that they would just go around killing people who want to play the game normally.
TL;DR If you had time to read the OP, you have time to read this.

The Blockland forums doesn't really need a lecture on why "Roblox" is a quality game. We all have nothing against Roblox except those idiots who spam our forums and YouTube videos. Although Imo Roblox is an awful game, but it shouldn't be compared to Blockland since its more a social hangout than a game.

I don't understand why some people whine about ROBLOX while they actually shouldn't bother.

I understand why Chuddles got pissed, but he should push it out of the way and ignore it.

I don't see why anybody should care about a game they have nothing to do with
This is dangerously dismissive.

I found it awesome how they beat the stuff out of you in the beginning, but you trained and trained until you could beat them all. Sort of like The Karate Kid. (If you've seen that movie :P)

Yeah, I figured most of you knew this. But, again, certain users, do not.

How can you ask people to read the whole OP when it was that long :'((

I have the attention span of a bacon
