Funny Roblox Catalog Glitch

This is hilarious.



The new limited hat "Eye Snake Shades" have glitched out so that no one can buy them. This has happened in the past, with items such as the Riptide. This is not a hack or anything, it is just something faulty at Roblox's end. Anyway, some guy called phramed put all four of his shades up for sale for R$1 because he was annoyed that they were "failing". Now he is unable to take them off sale or trade them.



His selling price is well under the original R$100 they were originally selling for. Because of the glitch, no one can purchase his cheap hats and the comment section is on fire. Hundreds of raging Robloxians calling phramed "a hacker" and reporting his account. Obviously he did not do this on purpose, but people are getting very angry in the comment section and on the forums, as seen below. Anyway. once the glitch is fixed, four lucky people will buy his shades for R$1 each.


Thanks for reading, stay tuned for more Roblox news, updates and info!

Most Played Roblox Games of All Time!

For some strange reason, Roblox does not let you sort games out in order of all time popularity. Therefore, I have compiled a short table which shows the statistics of the top five most popular games. This list was created on 19 April 2015.


Here are the 6-10 most popular games.
  • Catalog Heaven by Seranok - 30.6 million
  • Natural Disaster Survival by Stickmasterluke - 28.9 million
  • The Mad Murderer by loleris - 28.88 million
  • Sword Fighting Kingdom by TheGamer101 - 28.84 million
  • Apocalypse Rising by Gusmanak - 28.7 million

You can see that despite being 5th on the list, Survive The Disasters is the most favourited game on the list and on Roblox. Only last year, Base Wars was the most popular Roblox game, but lately it has lost popularity and is likely to be overtaken by Survive the Disasters within the next few weeks. 

Just because these are the most played games on Roblox does not mean that they are the best, so keep your eyes out for high-quality, upcoming games!

I hope this list helped you in some way and stay tuned for more Roblox news on Unofficial Roblox.

Roblox Egg Hunt 2015 - Eggs, Maps and Hats

Today Roblox posted information about the upcoming Egg Hunt 2015 on their blog. If you have not read it yet, then check it out by clicking the link below.

http://blog.roblox.com/2015/03/everything-you-need-to-know-for-egg-hunt-2015/

In this post I will be showing sneak-peeks as well as sharing my opinions on the event.


What makes this years egg hunt different to those of previous years is that the eggs will be hidden across three existing well-know games. These three popular games are Ripbull Minigames, Super Bomb Survival and Twisted Murderer. In the past, the Egg Hunt maps have been completely new games made by the Roblox games team. Personally, I preferred the concept of having a new map specially made for the egg hunt. This is because I liked the excitement of not knowing what the map (or maps in last years case) would look like. I enjoyed being able to explore a completely new map in search of rare eggs and making the most of the game before it shut down once Easter was over. This year I am not excited, as I already know the concept of each game and what they are like. I understand that the three game developers have updated their games for the Egg Hunt and that they will look different to how they normally do, but it's not the same as having a completely new map to explore. The picture above is a preview of Ripbull Minigames remastered for the Egg Hunt.




The thumbnails of the Egg Hunt games above give us an idea on what eggs to expect.

We still do not know the exact date that the Egg hunt will begin, it just says on their blog that it "kicks off next week". Considering it's starting so soon, it is slightly worrying that they still do not have an exact date.

No doubt Roblox will be releasing loads of items to the catalog (which will probably overpriced) that will give you advantages during the event and then be worthless after then, as they did last year.

The reason I sound so harsh to Roblox is because the company is becoming bigger every day, however for this Egg Hunt they have not even bothered to build their own map. I understand that they are promoting the whole "You Make the Game" thing and it's good that they are giving these young developers this opportunity, however I still feel that they should make the Egg Hunt more special by releasing a new map, playable for only the Easter season. This is only my opinion and I understand not everyone will agree with me, but I'm sure there are a lot of other experienced Robloxians out there that remember the old Egg Hunts and prefer them to this new format.

Little is known about the upcoming eggs, however a short video that Roblox posted on Vine reveals one of the eggs that we can expect to see, click the link below to watch it.

Despite everything I have said, this years Egg Hunt could still be really good, but I am just not as excited for it as I was for previous years. Stay tuned for more information and news about the Egg Hunt, as I will be posting on here again once the Egg Hunt is up and running.

Best Cheap Hats on Roblox!

You don't have to be rich to look good on Roblox. There are loads of high quality, fashionable hats available for just a few Robux or Tickets. This means all of you people without Builders Club can still buy awesome hats and people that do have a lot of Robux can save some of their money! I have picked out my favorite hats available to buy from the Roblox catalog today, all costing under 100 Robux or 1000 Tickets!



Red Animal Hood
Price: R$50
With over 50,000 sales, this unique hat goes with many different outfits. Despite the cheap price, the hat still has a lot of detail, such as the cool design on the back of the hood. 


Canvas Cap
Price: 10 TIX
This affordable cap may look like an old man's hat at first glance, but I have found that it works with a variety of outfits, such as this Gothic look shown above. This is a must buy cap!


Beautiful Brown Hair for Beautiful People
Price: R$95
One of the most popular hair styles on Roblox, this hair can look good on both boys and girls. Keep an eye out, as this hat is regularly reduced during Roblox sales! You can also buy this hat in black for the same price.


Paper Hat
Price: R$30
This classic hat looks great on its own or with other hats, such as the Beautiful Brown Hair shown above. It has over 150,000 sales and is worn by many of the most fashionable people on Roblox.


New York Cap
Price: R$25
Despite being so cheap, this trendy beanie still has under 4000 sales. I wear it in a lot of my outfits and would go as far to say it is one of my favorite Roblox hats. Definitely worth buying.


UMADBRO Cap
Price: R$30
U mad bro cuz I own this hella sweet cap? You should be, because it looks amazing! 


L8r Sk8r
Price: R$88
There are loads of skater hats on Roblox, but this one is my favorite. If you want to go for the skater look, I would definitely recommend you buy this hat!


Puffer Fish
Price:  R$52
Want to stand out from the crowd? Wearing a Puffer Fish on your head should do the trick! Although it looks funny, it also looks good with certain outfits.


Nerd Glasses
Price: R$30
These glasses are one of the best selling items in the Roblox catalog, with over 350,000 sales! They look great with almost every outfit and are worth the money. If you haven't already bought these, I would recommend you do.


Hibiscus Porkpie
Price: R$100
Not everyone likes this hat as much as me, but I think it looks great! There aren't any other hats on Roblox that look like it and it works with so many outfits, both male and female.


If you want to try any of these hats on before you buy them, as well as almost every other hat in the Roblox catalog, then I suggest you play Seranok's Catalog Heaven. The Roblox game allows you to try almost any hat on for free, along with gear, faces, packages and more! Click the link below to play it.


I might make a sequel to this post, so feel free to comment or message me on Roblox any hats you think deserve to be on this list! I hope this helped you discover some new, cheap Roblox hats.

How to put Social Network Links on your Roblox Profile!

A fantastic new Roblox update allows users to put links to their social network sites onto their Roblox profile! I am going to show you just how easy it is to add them.
Below you can see what the links look like on Shedletsky's profile.


First, click on the settings cog on the top right of the websites and click on settings.


Next, under my account select the "social" tab.


You can now copy and paste the links of your YouTube and Twitch channels, Facebook page or account and Twitter profile. You can also select who these links are visible to, such as only your friends or followers. Do not put links to inappropriate pages or else you may get permanently banned from Roblox. You can see below that I have typed in my YouTube URL. Once you are finished, click "update".


When you click back on your profile, you will notice that the links are still not there, but don't worry, they are just hiding. To see them yourself, you have to click "View public profile" above your avatar on your profile.


Now scroll down and they should be there! You can see the link to my YouTube channel is now on my Roblox profile!


I would recommend that you click on the links yourself to check that they are working.

This is a really good Roblox update, because it allows users to easily share their social networking sites with their Roblox friends. I would like it if Roblox added more websites that people can share, such as Blogger and Tumblr. I hope this helped you and if you have any questions please comment below or message me on Roblox, click on my name below to be directed to my profile.

Spongebob Squarepants hat on ROBLOX!

*This is no longer a necessary way to obtain the hat because Roblox have released it in the catalog for 1 Ticket*
 Do you want to look as cool as me, with this little Spongebob on your Robloxian's shoulder? Well now you can, because I'm going to show you how to get the Spongebob Squarepants hat on Roblox for free!

Log onto Roblox.com and sign into your account. You don't need to be a builders club member to get the hat. Now copy and paste this link into the URL box: http://www.roblox.com/advertising/grant-asset?assetId=208660809


This message should now pop up, confirming that you have been rewarded the hat.


When you click "ok", it will then take you to the Spongebob Squarepants movie 2 website. The hat should now be in your inventory for you to wear!

Hat review:
Personally I think the hat is a bit too small and would possibly be better as a package, but as a Spongebob fan I still really like it! It will probably be available until the film is no longer being shown at the cinema. I think it would be cool if Roblox also release similar hats for the other Spongebob Squarepants characters, as I know that a lot of people would like to collect them all, including myself!

If you have any questions then leave a comment or message me on Roblox, link to my profile below.
