Roblox used to be a lot better. It had really talented builders and a really active community. It had LUA coding that was a million times easier to work with than Torque, it had block physics, it was free, and the building tools were a whole lot easier for my 11-year-old brain to understand and work with.
There was also a server that had giant mech suit battles with fully-functional mechs that shot missiles and you could blow pieces off of each other with BLOK PHYSICS.
And giant spaceship RPs with fully functional fighters, turrets, and things like hyperspace travel.
loving good times.
