Roblox

Roblox is an online building game where you play with customizable blocks. Fight with rockets, ride trains, do practically whatever you want. Unike most other games, there aren't any pre-defined goals, you are given blocks and left to do whatever you want.

With your free account, you get a Character and a Place. You can customize your place however you want, and visit anyone else's place as well.

With over 13,000 players, there is plenty of creativity to go around. Every world is user-created. There are many, ranging from a Maglev that you can ride, to a pirate ship that you can destroy, to a Capture-the-flag map with working vehicles.

Code with Lua, the simple and easy-to-learn programming language, you can do practically whatever you cant think up. Several users have created great things, like trains, planes, cars, factories, tanks, police stations, rockets, the list goes on and on.

Come on in and join the fun, there is plenty of room for more.

"So? What does Lua change? Lua and .dts are essentially the same, retard."

Lua allows you to do more. Script very complex things and such.

Oh, It's .CS, dude. .DTS is the Model format in Torque Game Engine.

@MrDoomBringer:
"Hardly a rip off.

Roblox was first out there, even before Bloxkland."
That may be so, but at least we're farther ahead than you. While you are working in your cubicle as a sales rep., playing your little Java game, Badspot is actually doing his job, which is MAKING BLOCKLAND. The reason why Blockland isn't crappy, is because it isn't made for spending Badspots free time. He makes it so he can pay for food, electricity, and his house.
"Blockland has a much worse framerate than this, Roblox works on a P3 processor, onboard video."
Blockland works on P2 and onboard video I believe, and even better on an AMD Athlon 64 3500+ 2.2GHz, 1 GB of RAM and a GeForce 8600 GT.
"Roblox will always be free, it includes the ability to host your own created map and models created with tools that are far more advanced than Blockland."
Then why do you have to pay5 a month just to feel like a free person? We can host our own maps in Blockland too. And to make models for ROBLOX you need some sort of $200 software that only high-top developers use, like EA Games or something. For Blockland, all you need is even just a Milkshape 3D trial.
"And the best part, Blockland can't be scripted with Lua."
So? What does Lua change? Lua and .dts are essentially the same, retard.

I would've figured a person your age be smarter, but apparently not.

Yeah, Grunt, you are making lies.

We don't flame someone just for asking the controls to the game. You are seriously throwing the truths of your community in attempt to call it the truth of Blockland.

I didn't review Blockland with lies. I was telling the truth.

I used to like Blockland until the community started to get flooded with assholes. Before in 2006 when I asked "How do I move?" on the Forum I'd get "W S A and D to walk. Move the mouse to look aroung. Right click activates your Jets. And Space bar jumps." Now if I ask that I get "Shove it up your ass, Dipshit.".

You can't talk, Grunt. You reviewed Blockland with lies so as to slander its better reputation. Please note the Blockland ads you'll find on this here site.

Heh, All those Blockland noobs are making bad reviews on Roblox just because they are jealous! They hate Roblox because it's a better game, The creator makes more money than the creator of Blockland, And because this game has WAY more players than Blockland.

I tried playing it again, it got boring and annoying because of all the children saying I suck because I was "Bloxxing" them

Thanks for all the great comments and reviews. Since I last saw this page Roblox has undergone major renovations. With a new graphics engine, more Lua code and all sorts of server enhancements it's becoming quite the game.

Oh, and we've got over 200k users now =D

Ya, and Second Life (as I hear) has lots of adults, which wouldn't be good for people of the younger age group. And heck, it's free to sign up and start playing! I think this is the best thing that has ever come out of free online simulation games.

Note how that in Roblox, to get anything good out of the game you have to pay5 a month, whereas Blockland costs $20 for a lifetime investment.

Actually, in Blockland you CAN pick up a rocket launcher and blow up what you just made.

This is a cheap ripoff of blockland. The only thing that makes this good is the (still) crappy physics engine. Oh well, Retail blockland will own this out of the water.

I did, jsut took me a while to do it.

It is a very fun and addicting game. I was attracted by the fact that it had Lua, but I stayed for the great group of guys who started it. I've re-done the Wiki and have helped them out as well.

I haven't played it yet, but it looks cool, you really should give a link to your site though, I had to Google it to make sure I got the right one.
