Presenting the ROBLOX Shop

By Brad Justus - September 20, 2013

Yet another awesome facet of Virtual BLOXcon! We’re proud to present the first-ever official ROBLOX Shop. Now everyone at home has the same chance to purchase exclusive ROBLOX items and real-life gear that attendees to our city BLOXcons snapped up.

Visit shop.roblox.com to see what we have available — from t-shirts, hoodies, and fedoras to pins, patches, trading cards, and more — we’ve got a lot of stuff for you to drool over. We’re opening the shop to run in line with Virtual BLOXcon tomorrow, but will be keeping the Shop open for (at least) a full month after the event takes place, in case you need some time to snag that one (or several) item(s) that you really want.

Sellers Unite: A Weekend Tax Holiday For All!

By Brad Justus - April 11, 2013

April 15th can be a rough day–that’s the last day for millions of Americans to scrounge up a heap of documents from the past year and file their (ugh) taxes. With that dreadful day looming on the horizon, we’re declaring a tax holiday this weekend to spread a little financial relief! Starting this Friday, we’re cutting marketplace fees in half, meaning all transactions will be subject to only a 15% fee (as opposed to our normal 30%). What does this mean for users?

A few things. If you’re particularly active in the ROBLOX economy, then this weekend would be an optimal time to sell and/or trade items of all sorts and sizes. Limited items are typically quite costly, so this could save you some big time Robux if you’re looking to sell. The cut will also apply to group store sales, game pass sales, and sales of all types of clothing. (Currency transactions, as always, are not subject to a marketplace fee.) You may be able to trade more effectively, as any amount of Robux added to incentivize any given trade will be taxed at half the usual rate.

BLOXcon Is the New RGC 2013

By Brad Justus - March 8, 2013

If you’ve been around ROBLOX for a while, you might know a thing or two about our annual fan convention. First, it was the ROBLOX Rally. Then it was the ROBLOX Game Conference. For 2013, we’ve decided to debut a new name: BLOXcon! This year, we’re focusing not just on games, but building – the core of ROBLOX – and we felt the old name didn’t do the new direction justice.

Go Behind the BLOX Starting Next Friday!

By Brad Justus - February 22, 2013

We’re always focusing on new ways to strengthen the connection between our ourselves and our users–ROBLOX wouldn’t be the same without the feedback we receive from our passionate builders and gamers. Behind the BLOX is your unique opportunity to visit the heart of Robloxia: the ROBLOX HQ in San Mateo, CA.
