ROBLOX IS ALWAYS CHANGING

THIS BOOK CONTAINS A LOT OF INFORMATION ABOUT ROBLOX, BUT ITS NOT A DEFINITIVE GUIDE ON ABSOLUTELY EVERY NOOK AND CRANNY OF THE ENTIRE GAME. LIKE ANY GOOD GAME MAKER, ROBLOX IS ALWAYS ADDING NEW FEATURES AND WAYS TO PLAY, SO ITS IMPOSSIBLE FOR A SINGLE BOOK TO COVER EVERYTHING. HOWEVER, THIS IS A GREAT STARTING POINT.

THIS BOOK DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY GET RICH QUICK SCHEMES FOR MAKING LOTS OF MONEY (ROBUX) QUICKLY OR FOR HOW TO BECOME RICH OFF OF MAKING AND SELLING THINGS IN ROBLOX. NO MATTER WHAT YOU READ OR SEE ON THE INTERNET, THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE MONEY IN ROBLOX IS THROUGH HARD WORK, CREATIVITY, AND DEDICATION. THATS IT.

PART THE BASICS

CHAPTER ROBLOX 101

D o you play with Legos and build elaborate structures, vehicles, or other crazy-cool creations? If those types of creations are fun to you, then you already understand the foundation of Roblox. Imagine something just like that but in digital form. Roblox is infinitely customizable. Whats more, you can play Roblox with people from all around the world. Roblox itself is not a game. Its what you use to make a game, or experience. It is the central hub where everyone comes together to imagine and create.

Roblox first launched in 2006. Since then, the game has grown to over 170 million active monthly players who have logged over 8.43 billion hours of gameplay, with over 37.1 million daily users active in 2021.
