What Is Roblox?
Roblox is a user-generated multi-platform online gaming service that lets you create your own games and play those developed by others. The platform uses a proprietary engine called Roblox Studio to develop games. These games are monetized within the platform, with users using its virtual currency Robux to buy games, in-app purchases and other virtual accessories. Roblox is available on systems compatible with the Microsoft Windows, MacOS, Android, iOS, and Xbox operating systems.
What Are Servers in Roblox?
Servers in Roblox are the game worlds within which users interact with one another. Each server in Roblox is unique with its own chat, game-running code, data storage, and game settings which are defined primarily by the administrator of the game. A Roblox game can have numerous servers, leading to nearly identical experiences between them, or to a vast array of differences. Users will be automatically placed in a server of a game when they enter it, alternating between servers of their choice within the geographical region of their account.
Types of Servers in Roblox
Servers in Roblox are categorized by how they connect users. Roblox is a heavily user-generated world, meaning users host their own content inside the game’s framework. Users create their own games, models of objects, groups, and clans. All of this can be classified as a server.
Types of servers in Roblox:
- Main Roblox server: The main hosting servers for all games, objects, clans, and groups. This describes the overall hosting structure of the Roblox online world.
- All games servers: These consist of individuals who build and host games themselves using Roblox’s platform. Users can connect and play them simultaneously on their own or private group.
- VIP servers: These are private servers created by Roblox administrators that provide a dedicated to gameplay for only specific users, for a fee.
- Group servers: Often called clans, these are user-created social structures. They invite users to join and help them achieve common goals. They are hosted on the main Roblox server, acting for groups of people rather than hosting game play.
- Global servers: These are the general, non-game category servers that users will see as they move around within Roblox. They are hosted on the main Roblox server.
- Studio servers: These are for users who build content such as maps, objects, or load pre-designed models to use elsewhere in Roblox. They interact with Roblox servers when doing so.
How to Join a Server in Roblox?
There are two ways to join a server in Roblox. One way is to go to a game’s page on the Roblox website then click the Play button under the game image. The player will spawn in a random server. Once in the game, a player can click Choose Team to choose a team and coordinate with friends so they all join the same team.
Another way to join is to go to your Roblox homepage, click on one of your favorite or recently played games, then click the small green Play button (or server selection button). Users can now select an individual server that has some of their friends in it to act as a seed server, and then have them join a new server with friends within the game’s menu. You may potentially get matches that have avatars they like, however, if they choose servers this way.
Joining a Server through Friends List
One way to get into a new server in Roblox is to join through your Friends List. To do this you must first send a friend request to the individual, and once they accept, you can see the servers they are on. As an alternative, if the server is private, the user must invite you. To ask a friend to join your current server or to join the current server of a friend, follow these easy steps:
- Open your friends list
- Select the friend
- Click “Join”
Make sure your friend is or has joined a server first or the button will be unavailable. You will then be directed to the server your friend is in or to the server your friend is hosting. Unfortunately, this is one of the few ways to join servers with specific Roblox id, so in a future version, it may be harder to get into new servers from friends.
Joining a Server through Server List
Another way to enter a new server in Roblox is by using the Roblox “My Servers” tab in the Roblox mobile app or Roblox Windows/Mac program. Unlike finding a server through the game you are playing, the server list (for now) only exists in applications for Windows, Mac, and mobile app platforms though users can use search engine commands like site:roblox.com intitle:MyServers to pull up the My Servers page into a desktop interface.
Click on this tab to see if My Servers has any of your friends in it, and click on the New Server tab to find a new game to play with new players. Be aware that the My Servers and Server List tabs will appearing the following locations depending on which of the supported platforms for Roblox you are using. Creating Space Article: Just Some Ice which debuted on May 4, 2021 highlights the following MyServers or equivalent tab locations depending on Roblox platform:
Joining a Private Server through Invitation
Private servers in Roblox are accessible only if the owner provides you with an invite link or is limited to VIP members only. This method is only applicable to Roblox private servers as there is no need for an invite link to get into non-private servers or games on the Roblox platform.
Private servers provide the owner with a secret link for sharing, as well as detailed invite settings which include the option of sending a game invitation to players who are offline in addition to those who are online.
To invite a user to a Roblox private server, the host should click on their server icon in the chat navigation bar, go to the Configure tab, and then copy the server’s link. This link can then be shared with anyone who is not already on the host’s Friends List. If the invited player is on the Friends List, the host can send an invitation for the game directly through the game, and that user will be able to play on the private server when they log in as well.
How to Create a New Server in Roblox?
To create a new server in Roblox, click a universe map game icon from the All Games or My Games list. After the game displays its details, research further and quit, and a new server starting at the default spawning location will be generated. Users can create their server initial homepage. Skip to the top of the chosen game’s server with the settings icon in the upper right or its broadcaster icon to leave the game or manage which places they are sharing the server with.
Most user-built server games such as Adopt Me have small servers with only a few members.
In 2021, the minimum and maximum player count on a Roblox game appears to be restricted to 6 – 120 players per server. These laws are met with exceedingly scant flexibility now, but could be removed at some point based on what games desire in the future.
Users with Roblox’s less costly Premium membership receive increased visibility and retention in exchange for a user badge to receive in-game premium credit. This is intended to give users with access to the premium badge, a greater reputation zone, faster customer service, and exclusive discounts on certain items in the avatar shop. Users in high-speed companies, for example, will frequently contact “premium playback glitches” which will serve to remove the rule on the minimum and maximum player count on a server in Roblox.
Creating a Private Server
A private server is a server that only users whom the server owner invites can join. Opening a private server gives the server owner greater control over who can and cannot access the server without having to worry about trolling, spamming, or bullying. To access a new server in Roblox, simply ask the owner if you can join. If you find yourself on the doorsteps of a private server in Roblox, do not attempt to use a server hopping method to bypass the owner’s security protocols. You may get yourself banned or in Twitter Roblox Jail.
Creating a VIP Server
VIP servers are private game servers that players can create in Roblox to play by themselves or with invited friends only. This is useful when wanting to explore servers without interruptions. Not all games have a VIP server. They are optional and can be created by developers and bought by players to generate extra income.
To create a VIP server, find a game you would like to play in. Click the green `Play` button to begin joining the game. If there is a `Create VIP server` button in the sidebar, click it. You may need to buy access to create a VIP server if this is being charged by the game’s creator. You will then click the VIP server link on the website, and you will have access to the VIP server. Alternatively, you can just use the same server over and over by clicking the `Servers` button on Roblox’s game page which will display the URL of the VIP server you have access to so you can always return.
To join a VIP server with Roblox’s mobile or Xbox application, open the game you wish to play, press the `Servers` button on the game’s page. There you will see the servers you’ve been invited to and can join them. If there is a `Create VIP server` button, click it to either join the server you’ve already bought access to, or to buy access if you haven’t already used that game.
Creating a Public Server
One of the most common questions on Roblox is how to get into a new server where you are able to be the server host. Roblox tries to remove new servers at server initialization so new users do not join them. However, some users are able to join them so many new server hosts ask how they can advertise a server and expand the server list so that other users are able to see it.
Notably on Roblox, anyone is able to host their own Public Server allowing others to play on it. Public servers are currently the only ‘new’ servers that Roblox allows. If you have a game you want others to play on your own server, you can change some information in your script to allow users to play on your server instead of connecting to the official Roblox server hosting your game. To do this, open the script editor and locate the default server seed code. Modify it, and share it with anyone who wants to play on your server instead of the default one.
Keep in mind that the Roblox server must have a constant connection to Roblox servers because that’s where user information, Robux, and game progress are all stored. The easiest way to include Roblox servers is to allow Roblox to host your server with Dynamic Server Allocation. Otherwise, you must find another server host such as Microsoft, Google, or even a private data center with not only more advanced server hosting functionalities but also experienced server administrators. Without those, hosting your own internet gaming server could lead to a very unfortunate case of data loss.
What Are the Benefits of Joining a New Server?
The benefits of joining a new server in Roblox include higher performance, attendance of other useful power users, event opportunities with the developers, playing the game first time with other beginners, and better moderation since no time for it to be overrun by spammers and trolls.
When you join a new server that offers better performance, you will typically experience fewer delays in loading the game and will generally have fewer issues starting or playing games on Roblox. New servers will often use the latest and greatest server hardware and game coding, meaning that they will have designed the game to load and play quickly on the vast majority of systems that will use their platform. After a server has been around for a while, they may expand their features and graphics to attract more users.
New servers will attract other users who want to play the game without distractions, meaning that you will interact with some of the power users of the past. Find the high score players of other servers on the latest ones for a more competitive experience.
New servers often have limited-time events and activities which can provide additional gameplay and rewards. In contrast with long-running servers which may get overwhelmed by spammers and trolls and have minimal moderation capability since their code has been cracked, new servers have stricter moderation protocols in place, and better support from the developer. Joining a server with all new players gives everyone a level playing field for their learning and improved skills.
Meeting New Players
A very ROUGH method for accessing a new server in Roblox is to meet the initial limitations imposed by the game. Frequently in new games, restrictions are in place to help the system stabilize. This can include a maximum number of players a server can hold. If you spend time idling on the homepage of a specific game that you want to join when the first wave of players appear by entering the server, you have a better chance of being able to access the now live session quickly after it opens up.
Trying Out Different Games
Trying out different games is one way to find the best Roblox server. If you enjoy playing a particular game, there is a greater chance that you’ll enjoy the players and gaming community that play that game. One of the best ways to find the best Roblox server is to play multiple games and see which game has the best servers. For game developers, the very first thing needed to create unique and popular games on Roblox is to host the game in a Roblox server. Once a game is hosted, it can be accessed by millions of people across the world who may find a connection and make the game popular.
Earlier in 2020, the game Brookhaven launched on Roblox and became very popular because of the light and fun gameplay and charming visual style that has to offer an experience of living a new life in the sims-like multiverse. Given the enormous amount and variety of over 40 million user-generated games on Roblox, trying multiple games is the best way to find the best Roblox servers.
Customizing Your Own Server
As of 2021, there is no way to customize your own server in Roblox since Roblox does not support self-hosting and owns all the servers. Customizing your own server is only possible if you are a developer and choose to make a game in Roblox and pay Roblox to store the game on their servers.
Once you have a game in Roblox, you can customize it according to your needs. Roblox offers many different types of games and there are many other developers who are willing to be contacted and hired to develop games according to a specified theme.
Customizing your own arcade game in Roblox does not involve creating or customizing your own server. The servers that manage your arcade game are the shared servers Roblox offers to all developers. The same is true for customizing a controlled/whitelisted server and public server. Displaying your server rules, as well as banning or kicking people from your server is not currently possible as these are all management options that are handled by Roblox’s shared servers which they do not grant external access to for customization.
The only control as a creator you have over those aspects is designing your interface to show any rules, displaying why someone was kicked or banned, and setting up a way to receive ban appeals and respond to them yourself.
What Are the Tips to Get Into a New Server in Roblox?
According to Roblox Corporation, to get into a new server in Roblox follow the guidelines below after the game is loaded and you are in play mode according to the JuiceHead blog.
- Make a friend: Play with a friend who has a private server, and they can invite you.
- Ask kind strangers: On the in-game chat, ask for a private server. Some Roblox games have known players who might share their private access.
- Join networks or groups: Join networks on Roblox game pages or join groups which re-run games as well.
- Update your Roblox settings: Sometimes Roblox settings can block connections to specific servers if they are set for privacy. This usually happens without the player’s knowledge.
- Wait: Keep quitting and reloading Roblox when it has lagged out and typically it should put you in a brand new game with different server connections.
Roblox Corporation itself does not offer any way to join a server of your own choice. The main way to do that is to get help from other players, friends, or a random player in the same server. Each creation on Roblox has its own rules and ways of playing, so joining servers may be different for each one. So pay attention to in-game language that indicates you are switching to another server. Fast internet connections can also help in ensuring the smooth running of the multiple connections in Roblox and reduce connection time lag. If you are ever stuck after trying to change servers, restart the game since you are likely to get different Roblox connection servers and connections after that. Be careful not to be misled by the same server gameplay.
Keep an Eye on the Server List
The Roblox client and the game pages on the website have server lists that show all the servers for a specific game mode. You can sort them based on the factors mentioned earlier such as latency. Refresh the list repeatedly until a server you like shows up and you are able to join it quickly before it fills up.
On the Roblox client, it looks like this.
Join Popular Games
To play a server that is appropriate for you, look for educational games with large player bases by browsing Roblox’s GAME SORT feature or get popular games by following the Discovery Tab. HTTPCAT’s Attack Simulator is a popular educational game with 150 players when this article was written. The screenshot at the start of the get-in tag shows you how to access HTTPCAT from the discovery tab.
Make Friends in the Community
Community in the popular sense of the Roblox community refers to other players who like a similar server. There is a good chance if you are part of private chats and social groups these friends already play in the one you want to connect to, allowing you to transfer the game directly into your own account.
As with the other methods, communicating and exchanging server addresses or access is crucial.
