LeakBLOX Shut Down - ROBLOX

It was announced today that the popular twitter account LeakBlox, which leaked pictures of ROBLOX items that were not yet released, has shut down. It comes after the account rapidly gained thousands of followers, many of which followed the page to try and discover what prizes would come out of the gifts during "Giftsplosion" 2014. After getting an e-mail from ROBLOX regarding the information he posts, the creator of LeakBlox, NewYearCountdown (who is now banned from Roblox) chose to stop posting onto the twitter account. Here are his last tweets on the account:

The creator of LeakBlox continues to post tweets on his other Twitter account, @brassrhino but for now LeakBlox is inactive. Many people are unhappy that Roblox got so angry about a relatively minor thing. The account only has 2,300 followers and not all of the leaks he posted ever came out. The leaks that were released often were often on the Roblox catalog within 24 hours after he leaked them, so many people would not have had time to see the leak in the first place. It was not as if LeakBlox was ruining Roblox, nor was it making any money for it's creator or causing Roblox to lose any. Many people saw it as being harmless, however Roblox were unhappy with the twitter account and have acted on it.

Here is a picture taken from LeakBlox showing a leaked item that was released onto Roblox.

If any more news comes out from this story I will post it on this blog, so stay tuned.

Mad Paintball by Loleris Grand Opening Review - ROBLOX

There was a massive new game release today, so big it messed up ROBLOX's front page and the "visiting count". Mad Paintball is Loleris's first major new game release since his extremely popular game "The Mad Murderer" came out earlier this year. The excitement just before the game was released was crazy, with loads of people playing on the testing server all day along side Loleris, who was making last minute adjustments. People were, and still are, commenting on the game almost every single second, with the game receiving more comments than most new ROBLOX catalog items! Just one hour after release, Mad Paintball made it to the front page of the games page.

Within seconds of release, the game already had 5 pages of servers, with each server holding 20 people. Some servers glitched, allowing 21 and even 22 people into a single game, as so many people were joining at the same time.
Other famous Robloxians such as SmoothBlockModel took part in the grand opening party, as well as Loleris himself, attracting thousands of players.
Loleris also released an advert for the game, which helped attract players.







On the right you can see that it says more players are online than the game has ever been visited. This just shows how popular the game already is!

And below you can see a screenshot of me playing the test server for Mad Paintball along side Loleris, just minutes before the main game was released!

So far the game has received fairly positive feedback, currently with 221 thumbs up and 55 thumbs down, many of the people disliking the game being haters of Loleris and not because they dislike the game. Some people dislike the fact that you can not jump, and also that you die if you fall into the pool. There are also many bugs and glitches as the game is new, however these will soon be fixed.

Loleris says that upcoming updates include:

-New round types!
-Plenty of maps!
-New Characters!
-New Accessories!

As it stands, the game is very similar to existing paintball games, such as Daxter33's "Paintball!", ScriptOn's "Paintball Testing" and Miked's "Ultimate Paintball", however in the future the game will hopefully become more unique and very likely become extremely popular.

Thanks for reading, feel free to comment below and share your thoughts on Loleris's newest game!

How to get More Credits on Super Bomb Survival - ROBLOX

The newest game to dominate the front page of the games list on ROBLOX.com is, as I'm sure you have all ready seen, Super Bomb Survival!!! created by TylerMcBride. The aim is to survive for as long as you can in a arena full of crazy exploding bombs and rockets and other life threatening disasters. By surviving, you can earn your character in-game credits to spend on boosts, skills and perks (go to the information building in the game to find out what these do if you don't all ready know). I have found an easy way to collect credits quicker and easier and would like to share this useful information with you!

 

1. Okay, so you will need to have some credits to start with, so play the game normally for a few rounds until you have around 100 credits.
2. After the round, walk over to the "Survival shop" (pictured above) and click on "Boosts". Scroll down until you see the "x2 Win Credits" boost.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
3. Buy it for 20 credits. This gives you double the amount of credits you normally get when you finish the next round. THIS ONLY LASTS FOR ONE ROUND.
4. So for example, if you survive the whole round, instead of getting 50 credits you will receive 100 credits. If you die early on, normally you would only get around 20-30 credits, but with the boost you will still receive double that amount, so every round you will be making a profit!
5. So make sure after every round you go straight back over to the survival shop and buy the boost again for the next round! You could also buy another boost or power-up to make it even easier to survive, and also keep an eye out for credits lying around in each map!

So that's it, just repeat those steps over and over and you will soon be making thousands of credits on this awesome game! It's really easy to do but if you do have any issues please leave a comment or message me on ROBLOX (my user is called Bobstar500, link to my profile below).

New Roblox Event - ROBLOX University

So today marks the first day of ROBLOX University and all ready a ton of new items have been released into the catalog including a cap selling for 10 TIX, a book and a VERY expensive top hat (expensive for what it is any way). Here they are below:

Just so you know, the ROBLOX U Handbook is actually a hat and sits on your head, it is not a gear. I don't know why that is but just a warning in case that wasn't what you were expecting.

Also, a new page under the "Events" heading on the side bar gives you more information about the ROBLOX U event, as seen below.

As you can see, two prizes are shown. You can win these by completing all of the challenges within the month that the event is being held for.

You can read more about ROBLOX U and how you can win those prizes by reading the article on the ROBLOX blog. Click the following link to be taken directly to that blog post: http://blog.roblox.com/2014/09/roblox-university-launches-alongside-game-creation-challenge/

Thank you so much for reading and if you have any questions please feel free to comment on this post or send me a message on ROBLOX (click my name below to be taken to my profile).

ALS ice bucket challenge on ROBLOX

Roblox have recently released a new 10 Robux gear, an ice bucket. It is Roblox's input to the viral trend where you pour a bucket of ice cold water over your head to raise money for the charity ALS Research and nominate other people to do the same. Now you can take part with out even getting wet by using your Roblox avatar!

10 Robux is one of the cheapest amounts Roblox has ever sold a gear for, so it's a good buy! Also, by buying the item you are supporting ALS, making it an even better investment. You can throw the water over other players which is always fun, or throw it over yourself by pressing "q", if that takes your fancy! When you throw it over your head, your avatar turns icy blue and can't walk for a few seconds. Each time, different text appears in a blue bubble above your character. Your character's face also changes to a cold, unhappy face, as you would expect!





Once you have brought your ice bucket, you can film your avatar completing the ice bucket challenge and upload it to YouTube and of course, don't forget to nominate your other Roblox friends to do the same!

So what are you waiting for? Head over to ROBLOX.com and purchase your own ice bucket today!



Thanks for reading and make sure you keep checking back on Unofficial Roblox for the latest Roblox news!

Please support ALS research.

Trade Request from Shedletsky!

Today when I logged on to ROBLOX.com, something surprised me very much. Enough to make me frantically run up stairs and call my sister (who also plays Roblox) down to see. I had received a trade request from the one and only Roblox admin and ex-staff member.... SHEDLETSKY!!!



















Yeah okay, I know he probably sends people trades all of the time but it was a real surprise when you are not expecting it and haven't already sent him one before hand. The trade was actually pretty bad as you can see below. His RAP (recent average price) was higher but each item had low demand and their selling prices were lower than the RAP.

Anyway, I declined the trade and that was that!

Just a little story I wanted to share with you, sorry it's boring, but thanks for reading (if you did).

Feel free to share any of your experiences with famous Robloxians in the comments below!

How to dance on Roblox (2 new dances)

You often see loads of people dancing on Roblox games, but how do they do it?
I will now show you the secret, it's really easy when you know how!

1. Sign into your account. you must be able to type and see the chat menu in games, so make sure you are over 13. Go onto a Roblox game. You can not be a guest to dance.
2. Once fully loaded, make sure you are zoomed out a little and not in first person.
3. Click "/" or click on the black chat bar at the bottom of the screen and type in /e dance and press enter. Do not write in capitals or it will not work. Make sure you put a space between the "e" and "d" of "dance". Do not type anything else in the same sentence or else you will not dance. Make sure your character is standing still when you write the message. When you walk, you will stop dancing. Also, when you type it correctly it will not appear on the chat menu on the top left corner of the screen.
4. It does not always work first time, but keep trying and it should work eventually. If it does not work on one game, try it on a different place.
5. Bored of the Gangnam Style dance? Then try out the two new dances. Type in either /e dance2 or /e dance3 but do not put a space between the "dance" and the number.

I hope this helps you. if you have any questions or problems then please leave a comment below.

New Roblox Character Animations - a bad update.

If you have played ROBLOX yesterday or today, you most likely will have noticed the new character animations. This update comes under 6 months from the last character animation update, which also caused many issues because of the Robloxian's legs moving when you stand still. In obbys for example, on levels where you must jump over deadly bricks to reach the next checkpoint, the legs move, killing your character when you are just standing still, preparing for the next jump.

Disappointing looks

This new animation update is, in my opinion, pointless and worse than the previous animations. When you walk, it looks as if your avatar is about to fall over, or running in an extremely awkward fashion. On each step, the legs fly back way to far and do not look natural at all. When you play a busy game with lots of other players, it looks as if everyone is running around, late for a meeting!

When standing still, the body movement makes your character come across out of breath and panting. The chest/body bobs up and down, which I find rather distracting. I personally had no problems with my avatar simply standing still when I was not moving.

 

Animations affect game play

I've tested out the new animations on many popular games of different styles and have found a number of problems. On FPS such as "Paintball!", the new, bigger movements of the characters when just walking makes the game much harder to aim, as the arm holding the gun moves. When you are standing still in first person, you can feel and see the bobbing movement of the character and it actually made me feel a little sick.

Another issue I have found on games where there are lots of moving/flying objects such as "Crossroads", is that my Robloxian often feels unbalanced. It does not take much to knock him over and send him flying off the map. The more complex movements also tend to add lag on slower computers. At first I thought it was just me, but after talking to fellow Robloxians, I found they had experienced similar issues.

When climbing a ladder on a game, it is now also really hard to control your character as you can not move them left or right, only up and down. This also affects game play as many obbys require you to move left or right whilst climbing a wide ladder. In some games, the climbing update makes climbing easier, but in others it can ruin the game.

My views

Overall I believe ROBLOX was not designed to have real, life-like motions and animations. The block characters are made to look and act in a basic way, they are not like humans. They are like LEGO characters, whose body parts are restricted to which way they can bend and move.

What you can do

If you also have similar views to me and would like to try to get ROBLOX to remove the update, I would recommend tweeting them on their official Twitter page (@ROBLOX) or sending them and e-mail. \try to explain to them what it is you do not like about the animations or suggest ways for them to improve them. Also, feel free to share your opinions of the new animation update by leaving a comment on this post.

Thanks for taking the time to read this blog post, I will write on here again if there is any news or updates on this story.

Roblox Invisible Glitch

This post will explain how to make your character invisible on the Roblox website. It DOES NOT make your avatar invisible in games.

(taken from Merely)

Keep pressing "Click here to re-draw it" button under your character once you are in your outfit until it works. There are also some funny shirts you can buy from the catalog to make your character look like a stick man etc. Type in "Stick man" or "Invisible clothing" in the catalog to find the shirt you want to wear!

Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more updates and glitches here on this blog!

Roblox Egg Hunt 2014 Egg Locations!

As you probably all know by now, the Roblox Egg Hunt 2014 has launched! Instead of me attempting (and probably failing) to write descriptions of where all of the eggs are hidden, I have found a brilliant game made by Flamey50 which gives very clear instructions as to where all of the eggs (even the fabs!) are hidden. The game is free to play, extremely well built and has nice little features such as a teleporter to the Egg Hunt and a play ground with working swings! Please favourite and like the game if it helped you and to support the creator!

Here is the link to the game: http://www.roblox.com/How-to-get-all-the-eggs-2014-EVERY-EGG-place?id=153603666

Have fun finding those eggs, there are only a few days left so get searching!

Hope this helped and check back on this blog for more updates!

New Roblox Font

So most of you will have spotted that there is a new style of text/font on the Roblox website, EVERYWHERE!!! On the comments, the blue bar at the top of the page, group posts, place descriptions, the statuses, everywhere! Many people don't like the update and can't get used to it. Whenever they look at it, it seems wrong, which it did to me too until I became familiar with it. The change is so small it's hard to notice and as far as I know, there is no reason Roblox did this other than they thought it looked cooler.

 

Dylan doesn't like the font either!

So what do you think about it? Comment below and leave your thoughts!
