What is a Private Server in Roblox?
A private server in Roblox is a special server where only a selected group of individuals can play, also known as a VIP server. Private servers are used in Roblox games to provide additional control over individuals the owner wishes to play with and improve the overall user experience. In the majority of cases, and especially with larger and more popular games, it is likely that there will still be multiple private servers, but they will simply act as a matchmaking service for existing members who are friends. The most popular Roblox games will usually create a private server for each group as quite an extensive network of mini-private servers.
Moderators and administrators of Roblox games can access the administrative private servers still available within the default settings, but these are mainly restricted to Roblox test/training servers and controlling general game admin. For the majority of Roblox games, private servers can only be created by those with Roblox Premium, know as Builders Club, access, or by purchasing the feature.
How to Join a Private Server in Roblox?
To join a private Roblox server, you need an invitation from someone who is on the server. You can ask them to follow the steps mentioned in the section on creating a private server, where they will go to the configure servers screen and select ‘Invite Friends’. This will send them a specially-encrypted link that will provide you access. Roblox private servers are not very different from public servers and require virtually the same actions to obtain. The distinction between Roblox Private Servers and public Roblox servers is that private servers may not be available to people without an invitation. These setups allow Roblox players to build online private worlds for themselves.
Joining Through a Friend
One of the simplest and most common methods for finding and joining a private Roblox server is to connect with a Roblox friend you already have that may be on the server. This friend can either walk you through joining the server or give you the Roblox private server link via a private message that can be entered into your browser or Roblox search bar, located in the header of their library under private servers.
The Roblox library is a section on any user’s profile that lists the privileges, challenges completed, game progress, among others. The following basic steps will help you connect with a friend on Roblox and access the private server.
- Log in to your Roblox account either on the virtual platform or the website.
- Locate and Type in the username of the friend you would like to play on a server with in the search bar.
- Send your friend request. Wait for it to be accepted and ask for the private server details or direct entry.
Joining Through a Private Server Link
The best and easiest way for most to get into a private server in Roblox is through a private server link. Only users with a link can join a Roblox private server game. The owner sets whether new users can create a private link to help them comply with emergency changes in the game pass. Even if the link is shared to others, it is used for fraud to revoke the private link in the game.
Joining Through a Group
There are two key advantages to using Roblox groups to join private servers. First, only players who are invited to the Roblox group by the group’s owner can access the private server the group has established. Second, group membership may be adjusted independently of Roblox privacy settings, so there is the ability to quickly and easily remove individuals from the server if needed.
If the server administrator elected to make server access dependent on group membership, players will not even be able to find the game in Roblox, much less join it. To join a Roblox game via a group, the group must be public and not set to enemy or private. Asset monetization must be enabled.
How to Create a Private Server in Roblox?
To get into a private server in Roblox, create a private server in the game you are playing. Roblox players are able to create a private server in games where the developer of those games has allowed private server support. Players can create private servers in their favorite games to play together without other people intruding. Availability of private server support varies so you will need to check with a game’s developer to confirm whether private servers are an option.
To create a private server in Roblox, open the drop-down server menu by clicking configure under the game name. Then click the option that says opens settings and toggle the switch to on next to enable-join. If the toggle is already on there will be nothing to do because that means this game is always open for players to create private servers. Please remember that custom settings for a private server such as the price, the name of the server, and more detailed settings are not set in Roblox. They can be set by the game’s developer to allow you to adjust the game based upon your choices.
Roblox supports the playing of private servers in many games. Although the private server creation process is fairly similar in each, these are the current steps that are required to create a private server in Sharkbite.
Creating a VIP Server
In Roblox`, a VIP server is the same as a Private server. Roblox resellers and illegal third-party services can turn a purchased private server into a VIP server with special features not available within Roblox. VIP servers need to be publicly accessible with the potential for direct messaging.
To create a VIP server, do the following:
- Go to the `game details` page of the respective game.
- Look at the top of the page. If there is a hyperlink with the label, “Create VIP Server,” click on it and proceed with steps.
- If there is no indication of a create VIP server button, check the game’s official Roblox page or the page for the game on the developer’s website. If it is not available on either page, the game may not support VIP servers.
There may be a Robux cost associated with creating a VIP server. If a Robux amount is shown or if the statement, “This game may not function as intended. The game creator has allowed VIP Servers, but has chosen to set the price of entry to an amount other than free.” appears on the screen, a Robux payment via account or gift card will be required. The purchase box will show the price of the VIP server. After purchasing, any player can be invited and a server will be started. They will have different IP addresses than normal servers.
Creating a Private Server with Admin Commands
For user-created games with scripts that support it, players with admin commands can essentially control private servers by turning them on via their game server console. Users can connect to those servers by clicking on the Join button in the game. A private server with admin commands is ideal in cases where you want privacy and events that regular private servers do not provide, such as running tournaments or other events.
What Are the Benefits of Joining a Private Server in Roblox?
The benefits of joining a private server in Roblox is that you can avoid trolls, have a high-quality gaming experience by blocking out lag, have a better chance of winning, and practice new game mechanics. In normal Roblox public servers, you can get harassed by toxic players known as trolls who try to ruin your gaming experience. These trolls can be found in every genre of every game and it can be difficult to avoid them.
The second problem that players run into with regular Roblox servers is that the gameplay is often of low graphical quality making it hard to see or enjoy the game properly. When getting into a Roblox private server, you will almost always have a better pacing and loading atmosphere, causing a noticeable improvement in the game’s enjoyment level.
Developers sometimes make the difficulty to win, and therefore the amount of fun they have, proportional to the lag and other game bugs. Meaning that usually private servers have reduced lag and other problems which can help you to increase your odds of winning games. A number of private mini-games are RL-owned classics, with dozens of games including speedrunners and king of the hill remakes. Changing servers often and practicing Robux enhancements moon-mining shows off a wide variety of gaming mechanics that may come in useful in different games.
Exclusive Access to Games
Because Roblox private servers are essentially games hosted separately by people who manage them, any player that wants exclusive access to games can participate by joining one of the vast number of private servers available in the Roblox network. Private servers provide different types of games with varying levels of player control, difficulty, involvement, and aesthetics. They also provide a medium for players to engage in games with large user bases with a select group of friends or by themselves. Many private Roblox servers are available for a wide variety of games such as Adopt Me, Theme Park Tycoon 2, Blox Fruits, Brookhaven, Breaking Point, Anime Fighting Simulator, All Star Tower Defense, Ice Cream Simulator, Mall Tycoon, or other combat games like Tower of Hell and Speed Run.
Group game servers are easier to host and manage than normal game servers because creation and management of a VIP server can be done entirely inside the Roblox client without any hosting requirements.
Customizable Gameplay
Private Roblox servers provide customizable gameplay options. The server owner determines gameplay changes for the Roblox game such as changing Timers, Difficulty Levels, Character Physics, Earnings, Lives, and more. This allows for unique and creative gameplay experiences totally different than how the game is normally played given the tools on offer by Roblox Studio as well as any external plugins the owner has installed.
For example, two PlayAdoptMe servers might be substantially different from one another if private AdopeMe servers were a thing because one server admin might turn off rewards entirely for certain quests, while another might buff them to allow players to upgrade pets even faster.
Private and Secure Environment
A private server in Roblox enables a game creator to select who can join and usually who can play as the host or admin of the game within their own server. The game owner chooses the initial game server and can then allow specific players to join. A private server differs from creating a restricted access game in that the game server still goes through normal Roblox server routing.
A server is the part of the game’s architecture that performs its key tasks. Roblox servers are private to the extent that random players cannot join. Here is a simple example. If a paid customer registers to a server that he cannot contribute to, this does not make the server secure. The engine is built with different ticket levels for players utilizing the server that enables them to perform different roles in the game. The operation of the game then is still determined by Roblox. And though Roblox is relatively secure, nothing on the internet is 100% secure owing to the tweaks hackers make from time to time to their tools. Two-Step Verification is important to the security of one’s Roblox account.
What Are the Risks of Joining a Private Server in Roblox?
There are some inherent risks of joining a private Roblox server since privately-owned servers can be less regulated and less accountable. You might find that a server is poorly managed or moderated, despite it being designed for privacy. The best way to reduce these risks is to avoid arbitrary private servers and instead find private game settings on widely popular games. Even the best-regulated server may have a tipper or two, but they’re likely to be identified and removed from the server more quickly.
Inappropriate Content
Inappropriate content that matches Roblox’s definitions of things that are prohibited in both published and unpublished projects are frequent sources of ban-triggering events. Such content includes sexually explicit content, violent content, self harm, scams, stalking, harassment, discrimination, and much more. There is alleged anti-muslim content featuring the Kaaba in one of the Roblox depicted world games, and reporting of the games you encountered can even get them shut down by Roblox if appropriate.
Scams and Hacks
Inappropriate influencer matters surrounding user-generated private servers have resulted in in-app scams and hacks that prompt loophole exploitation. These activities take advantage of Roblox’s lack of adequate infrastructure for handling recruiting, due to the pervasiveness of outside advertising, meant to prompt interest in private servers, which functions as scams and hack vectors. In-app exchanges of personal and financial information can and has led to rampant misconduct, including hacking through malware.
There is no exact number for how many private servers are in Roblox however due to the hundreds of different teams and groups encompassing millions of users, there are likely a similar amount of active private Roblox servers – at least several hundred thousand active private servers in Roblox. An online search for private Roblox servers yields an enormous number of results, with multiple Reddit, Fandom, even archived private group pages where members can share strategies. Often users have found they were victims of scams only after having connected with hackers posing as newer influencers and industry figures on these platforms.
How to Stay Safe While Playing on a Private Server in Roblox?
To stay safe while playing on a private server in Robox, it is best to keep children on these servers and limit Roblox account interactions to friends and acquaintances when at all possible. Users should avoid content that is not child-appropriate. If a player intends to join a private server with people they do not know, they can ensure everyone follows privacy practices such as not exchanging personal information (E.g. phone number, address, school names, names and locations on social media, etc).
When making a private server, only give server access to whom it is intended. Players should use Roblox features such as Safe Chat (for under-12 accounts), Account Restrictions (for under-13 accounts), Community Sift (which should be enabled for all under-13 accounts), and the Moderated Chat feature which has filters for vulgar or inappropriate verbiage. Players on a private server should feel fine leaving it if they feel unsafe or unwelcome, and should use Roblox features to report inappropriate behavior.
There are varying levels of danger on Roblox private servers, so users should just be careful and use common sense. As of early 2021, Roblox newer high-security safe chat was being developed, but was not available yet at the time of this writing.
Only Join Private Servers from Trusted Sources
Every player in Roblox can create their own server, but unless excessive invite links are posted on public forums, these private servers are only accessible via direct permission- invites from the server owner. These standard servers entered via a game’s entry menu are still sometimes called private servers, but it is also a term used to refer to Invite Only servers entered by a direct link. For example, mining simulator Roblox’s private server game link might look something like this: roblox.com/games/THECURRENTGAMEID?privateServerLinkCode=SECRET.
If a Roblox private server is accessible by the public, one must be careful about not accidentally joining the private server while trying to join the public one, especially given in-game links posted in the forums are often in Netlify short-link or discord link form (meaning the true server link is cryptically hidden beneath many link redirects). Links from such sources can send you to a fake server URL in order to phish user account information. Make sure you only join private servers shared by the server’s owner, and that these links are original invite links. Never give away your Roblox account information (or any sensitive information for that matter). Similar to websites, always make sure the URL at the top of the browser is correct before hitting enter.
Report Any Inappropriate Content or Behavior
Roblox’s extensive safety features and the application of its community-driven moderation system help to create a safe environment for everyone. Report any signs of inappropriate or malicious behavior on the server immediately to help keep it safe. Properly submitting a report is one of the ways to get noticed by the moderation team when attempting to get into a private Roblox server.
Using moderation alerts efficiently and with good intentions will lead to Roblox granting moderation abilities that allow you to ensure the safer administration of Roblox private servers. Some inappropriate content examples are cursing, scamming, harassment, dating, drug references, and more.
Be Cautious of Any Suspicious Links or Requests
As with anything you do online, be cautious of any suspicious links or requests when attempting to get into roblox private servers. If you have stumbled upon a game that seems promising but wants you to immediately join a Discord for additional access or download something to your computer, think twice. This could be a scam.
If someone requests you to go to a website to view their inventory, stand, hamon, etc., be aware that that could be a backdoor link to a malware site that could compromise your Roblox account if you fall for it. If you ever click a link and immediately feel something strange is happening, immediately close the tab or turn off your computer/phone and notify Roblox support immediately. Play it safe and stick to verified sources of information to minimize the risk of running into scammers or compromising your computer with malware.
