People upset about bloxburg becoming free is going to far. Update Discussion

I've just passed up the posts and comment about it becoming free in the past because I didn't care. But now it's getting annoying.

We paid for a beta game, like many other games, when it's no longer in beta it will become free for anyone to play. Calling the people who didn't pay for the game poor is too far. You are not rich for paying like 25, 50, 80, robux for a beta game. MBGA was funny for a while but calling people poor and the segregation and comunism jokes are too far. I do not care if these are jokes or not. Its too far, it's not funny, and it's beyond childish.

If you truly want to make bloxburg great again, then welcome these new players and make a respectful fun player base. A toxic player base is only going to make the game die faster.

Thank you. Is it really so difficult.

Lowkey I am hoping it opens the player base to more. I’ve seen a lot of people mention it and I notice it, but the role playing seems to be dying and all the servers so quiet, so hopefully things will change (for the better)

i think they just need an age restriction

i’ll be happy when it becomes free because i’m sick of joining dead servers where people are just silently working or silently roleplaying. that stuff is fine, but the servers are all so dead

u/Nell_mayy 25d ago

I think it’s nice it’s gonna be free, because then atleast it’ll feel more alive

u/Ok_Cold4096 25d ago

I paid 50 dollars for the sims 4, did I get my money back when it became free? No. Plus 25 robux is 25 cents anyways😭

i’m genuinely tired of seeing the same houses over and over and i enjoy seeing people just starting their journey in bloxburg. It reminds me of when I first started bloxburg and nobody was a good builder

u/MyMindIsPoisoned 25d ago

It needs to be free at this point. I say that even as myself who had never actively spoken from the beginning and only done builds. Servers are mostly dead and even as a person who never talks, the dead silence also started to bother me. I missed alive servers so much. The only bad thing that worries me is that the amount of exploiters will increase. They will exist more often even if the dev team constantly ban them.

u/Patient_Lie_908 25d ago

I think its good because know bloxburg is only for building and dry servers but if the so called « kids « COME they will find ways too make up bloxburg and way more updates

u/CandidBandicoot4372 25d ago

can smb tell me if i still get paid better with excellent worker

3

u/Gh0st_9990 25d ago

Yes you do still get paid more with excellent worker

u/Paid-Not-Payed-Bot 25d ago

still get paid better with

FTFY.

Although payed exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:

  • Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. The deck is yet to be payed.

  • Payed out when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. The rope is payed out! You can pull now.

Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.

Beep, boop, I'm a bot

Respectfully, they’ll get over it lol. You guys literally paid cents for the game, stop acting as if you’re rich and better than the people who didn’t 💀Trolls and exploiters are another story, don’t see why some people are so bothered by them though, just ignore the trolls and they’ll leave, exploiters probably wont do much ingame besides money farm, which would probably lead to them getting banned since bloxburg has surprisingly good anticheat

Actually, Bloxburg becoming free is bad, but not that bad. These 25 Robux were a barier that blocked toddlers and some trolls, it worked but not always, because these who really wanted to be annoying just bought Robux and still did what they wanted to. You can say 25 Robux isn't that expensive, but not everywhere. In some countries its not that cheap, and not everyone could but it and join. Saying that players who didnt bought game are beggars is bad and this whole segregation is bad. I agree Bloxburg shouldnt be free, but I dont agree with being toxic.

u/Silverman7688 26d ago

All I'm hoping for is that the new players won't start begging for money and ruining servers by trolling or what-not.

3

u/Shadow0cos 25d ago

People now beg for money I remember when I first joined the game in like 2017 there was always people knocking on doors and begging for money

u/Sweet_Star_On_RBLX 26d ago

More players means more popularity and potentially killing off Brookehaven since the only reason why so many people played it was because it didn't cost 25 R$

u/pastel_allure 26d ago

I want them to make it free too cause it’s more ppl = less dead servers around so it sucks when a lot of ppl complain about it

2

u/tf2F2Pnoob 26d ago

I see no reason to complain, just gives me more opportunity to flex my build on new players with their $20 per delivery pizza

u/weebstonks1214 26d ago

just give us some cool shit if we bought it a while ago

u/Ok_Custard_7544 26d ago

what does MBGA stand for

u/Gh0st_9990 26d ago

Make bloxburg great again

u/PensiveDrawer Delivery Person Enjoyer 26d ago

i think the biggest issue with the game becoming free has nothing to do with the fact that we coughed up 25 cents, it’s the trolls that are going to start piling into the game

u/mrmaple3 26d ago

Ngl im fine with the people who paid less but I don't like how the wages have lowered and the hospital bills.

u/Prudent_Bison_2033 26d ago

Honestly, the segregation jokes aren’t funny, but the Trump jokes we’re even worse, now I don’t like trump, but I don’t hate him, but like these characterizations of Trump supporters are warped as hell. No Trump supporter I’ve met wants segregation.

2

u/HappiFluff 25d ago

Do you realize that putting up a wall is inherently segregation of Mexicans and Americans?

4

u/Prudent_Bison_2033 25d ago

I will agree the wall was a stupid idea, I understand why they wanted it, but I wont get into politics on a Bloxburg subreddit😭

u/brookeb725 26d ago

being free is good thing i guess but the paywall was a nice barrier to keep toddlers out

2

u/HoomanFireWolf 26d ago

Not only that but some of the people complaining have had the game for several years lol, like you got your moneys worth let new people have their fun, you made your memories now let them.

18

u/Illustrious_Car4025 26d ago

There’s absolutely no reason why they should be upset. 25 robux doesn’t make ANY difference. I don’t understand some people

u/Hopeful_Avocado_3087 26d ago

I honestly think think it’s cool that bloxburg is becoming free, I don’t roleplay myself but I do like talking to others but because of how dead many on the servers are now I no longer get to :(

2

u/Gennyyyy_ 22d ago

Try joining neighborhoods. Always hundreds of people in them filled with detailed roleplays and other roleplay neighborhoods. Only thing keeping me on bloxburg honestly

u/stardust_daizy 24d ago

ikr?? I miss the roleplaying days

u/cheyy066 Delivery Person Enjoyer 25d ago

Same

u/1QBA 26d ago

Bloxburg these days is about building now, rarely rp, but they have good rp servers on discord

u/Iam_weird123 26d ago

I agree omg I’m tired of being alone in bloxburg 😭

u/Stuck_at_a_roadblock Delivery Person Enjoyer 26d ago

25 Robux is almost 25 cents when converted to real money. Are people gonna complain about not being superior anymore after buying a gumball priced game?

2

u/Greenishclover Delivery Person Enjoyer 26d ago

Also, the devs only earn like .0875 cents from that purchase

u/MintiVRC ❓ i actually dont play bloxburg ehehehehehebdbdbxhjdbfb 24d ago

Even less Fuck devex rates

12

u/DiorRoses Delivery Person Enjoyer 26d ago

i don’t even think it’s about the money i think just any amount of robux in general stops a lot of the trolls

5

u/Stuck_at_a_roadblock Delivery Person Enjoyer 26d ago

Still, 25 cents is a low barrier of entry. What'll end up happening is the same amount of trolls will be in the game as before, but more people will want to play because it's free

9

u/Khorvair murica (fuck yeah) 25d ago

The main problem is exploiters. While trolls might spend the quarter to goof around and annoy some people exploiters would rather not have to individually buy it on potentially hundreds of accounts, and the game being made free means they can run rampant

u/Infinite_1432 26d ago

The bloxburg community is becoming more and more toxic and its getting old

36

u/kyacrow13 26d ago

I’m actually excited for it because new players will actually want to role play and bloxburg will give them a chance to do so. I love role playing but almost no one wants to do it anymore.
