ROBLOX’s Black Friday Sale 2012: A Preview

Black Friday Weekend DealsIn a couple days, you’re going to be hearing news stories about shoppers lining up in the mid-night cold to stake out deals on hot Black Friday items. For some, it’s an exciting event. But if you’re the type of person who would rather do your Black Friday shopping from the comfort and safety of your own home, you’re going to love ROBLOX’s Black Friday Sale. It starts this Friday at the stroke of midnight in the ROBLOX Catalog.

Much of our Black Friday Sale was determined by the majority opinion of ROBLOX users. A couple weeks ago, we released a community survey that allowed users to vote on the gear they’d like to see discounted. The survey is now closed; the results have been tallied. While we’re not going to take all the suspense out of Black Friday shopping, we have a preview of four exciting items that will be on sale – and in two cases brought back from the depths of unavailability by your vote.

Ultimate Sword Series: Seven Swords to Rule Them All

ROBLOX Developer Lead Deepak Chandrasekeran (Sorcus) is in the process developing a series of swords on ROBLOX that will give users powers they may not have ever believed possible. His first sword, Telamonster: The Chaos Edge, sold out in two days, but it was the first in a series of ultimate weapons that will eventually include a roster of seven customized swords with unique and varying abilities. Sorcus runs through the features of these two extremely limited items, and talks a bit about what inspired him to create these swords. 

Crescendo the Soul Stealer, our second release in our Ultimate Weapon series, does things that no other swords on ROBLOX can do. First off, it dramatically hastens your walking speed and increases your overall health by 35%. It also leaves trace images of itself as it’s swung; this isn’t just a cool aesthetic–the trails do damage to enemies who come into contact with them. The Crescendo also features a lunge attack that blasts your character forward across terrain at a rapid speed, leaving a light-trail that can damage other players.

ROBLOX Presents “Add Gear to Game” Feature

We’re proud to announce the “Add Gear to Game” feature–all users can now allow specific gear items from the ROBLOX Catalog in their game and sell those gear items directly on their game page. If users choose to buy an item from your game page, you’ll earn yourself a 10% commission. It’s like Amazon’s “Associates” Program, and it’s mutually beneficial. It will help us increase the reach and scope of our Catalog, and we’ll let you keep some of the sales.

Adding gear to your place could actually lead to turning quite a profit, while simultaneously introducing users to gear they may have overlooked previously or never seen. Even if your place is set to “No Gear Allowed,” you can still allow specific items in that particular game. The benefit of this feature is twofold: you make money, and gain more granular control over your game.
