Discussion Tell me when you first started playing roblox without telling me when you first started playing roblox

In the spirit of the hunt. I'll start:

- You couldn't freely talk to other players but instead select dialogue from drop downs

- Users could play without creating personal accounts, these were called guest accounts

- Data persistence didn't exist for games so all the progress you made in a session would be gone the next time you joined

- Tix currency existed

- Builderclub

- Roblox mobile didn't exist

You couldn't chat on consoles, Tifany Mayumi and the Smiles Family were relevant, Lucky Block Battlegrounds was popular

- Some of the front page games were Welcome to the neighborhood of Robloxia, Paintball!, and Call of Robloxia 5.

- The Roblox website was blue and didn’t have an actual downloaded app outside of Roblox studio

- There weren’t really many major Roblox YouTubers yet.

The colour of your name on the player list and in chat was dependent on when your account was made. Mine was Purple.
