Question

Can you save your progress in a game?

Bun bun

Top Answerer

In some Roblox places, there is a save option or automatic save system. If you're in an area that doesn't have either of these, you could contact the creator of a location and suggest to add this feature.

Question

What if I am currently on a tablet?

Community Answer

It works like a computer but there are some games that aren't so compatible. When you play a game, there will be two new buttons on your screen. The jump and the thumbstick.

Question

How do you walk?

Bun bun

Top Answerer

The WASD and arrow keys usually allow you to walk in most places. If this isn't the case, it would usually say so in the description of the place. On mobile, you would use a thumbstick and a jump button to navigate/move on mobile.

Question

How do people earn robux anyway?

Community Answer

You must purchase it or sell game passes and gear, and earn ad commissions if you are NBC. But if you have BC/TBC/OBC, you can do what NBCers do and sell shirts, pants, t-shirts, etc.

Question

What is the point of the game? What am I trying to accomplish?

Community Answer

ROBLOX is a big community with hundreds of games. You accomplish what is in the game. For example: You are playing a shooter game and you want the best gun, so you play, get good at the game, and save up (currency or XP levels) required for the gun. The point is to entertain you with many games, and express your imagination with ROBLOX Studio.

Question

I tried to play Roblox and a bunch of endless tabs kept opening up on my computer. Why is this happening?

NY Blossom

Top Answerer

Make sure the URL is roblox.com and it has the Roblox logo in the corner. If it doesn't have one of these, you may be on a decoy site. You may also have a virus on your computer.

Question

Can I kill people in Roblox? If so, how?

NY Blossom

Top Answerer

It depends on the game. If it contains guns, knives, etc., you can kill people. In other games, it's not possible to kill people unless you were to hack the game (not recommended). As for the how, it depends on which weapon. Usually, you click and the gun fires/knife slashes.

Question

Why was TIX removed?

ExecutiveLight

Community Answer

According to ROBLOX, TIX was removed due to it being too confusing for new users. However, many believe that ROBLOX just wanted more money, as you need ROBUX to do things now, which has to be purchased with real money.
