Today we honor the authority figures of Robloxia. It’s kinda like their job is to pown n00bz! And that’s pretty cool. Whether it be judges, sports coaches, or flying nannies, the leader is an important part of any team. Because you can’t spell “team” without “leader.” Unless you use “meat” instead. That’d even save you a few letters!
One of ROBLOX’s core guiding design principles is that we want to be the best physics-based toy on the internet.

It’s a brand new year, and everybody’s out taking care of their New Year’s resolutions, whether it’s to exercise more, to do better in school, or to hunt down the vicious dragonlords of magmarealm who will stop at nothing to conquer the world. If your resolution happens to be that last one, then you’re in luck, because we’ve scrounged up some dragon-hunting gear to help you on your perilous quest! If your resolution does not happen to be that last one, then you’re still in luck, because you don’t have to deal with vicious dragonlords, who are by all accounts rather impolite.
Hello ROBLOXia! We put out a new release of ROBLOX this morning. It fixes a bunch of nasty crashes, and it has some cool other stuff:

And happy birthday!” But because the world is so big, we can’t use normal birthday candles to celebrate–it wouldn’t even notice those! That’s why we made some really sparkly fireworks! Or as I call them, “world candles”! Remember, though, mega-fireworks in Roblox are made of non-dangerous sparkles and sunshine, but real-life fireworks aren’t as cool, so they’re made of dangerous explosive stuff; leave real fireworks to the pros!
A lot of you gave us great feedback by taking our 2009 survey. Please take our 2011 survey to help ROBLOX get to 100% player satisfaction!
This month we’re introducing a new feature for our dedicated Builders Club members: the ability to make your place open only to other Builders Club members. Owners who mark their place as Builders Club Only will receive 2 tickets per place visit instead of the usual 1 and will have a chance to make it onto our new Featured Builders Club games list on the games page. We will be adjusting this bonus over the next month to try to find the appropriate reward for our valued BC Members.
ROBLOX is committed to creating great content for our free players, while at the same time adding extra value for our subscription members. Members Only levels are a place to play ROBLOX with other experienced veterans and take your game to the next level. We’ve also made browsing the games page much faster and are still reserving the majority of space for free games. Check out how much easier it is to find the games you want on our new, slick, and speedy games page. Talk about the new look in our forums.
