Ever since I heard on the Roblox Blog (or was it during a BloxCast?) of this Private Server thing being a possibility, it has given a glimmer of hope for making an ACTUAL RPG here on Roblox. Additionally, thinking about the Universe Update for long periods of time (What? I was excited!) had lit a spark to how we could possibly utilize these Private Servers in conjunction with the Universes. This cool feature does not have to necessarily be for an RPG, but this is just for example sake; I'm sure the moderatos understand where I am coming from. Also, this is something that I know is near and dear to my heart and may benefit others too. Please hear my explanation in its entirety; for what it's worth you will gain some bright ideas yourselves. [[To the point!]] I am not sure if this is a common thing in RPG's or just in games like World of Warcraft and RIFT, but I would LOVE to somehow be able to apply this Private Server feature to be able to make group specific "Dungeons" and Battle Grounds with two opposing groups for my RPG. Below is a link to twitter that will show you a neat little diagram of how this may work: https://twitter.com/TutorialBlox/status/423915263734468608/photo/1

Lame idea. Private servers encourage anti-social behaviors. No support.

You did not read this correctly. There are for limited play only. You only go here with either a random group of people or a group of people you know, depending on how the game is scripted. You clearly only read the title.

@coolblox2334 Clearly you lack understanding about Roblox. A lot of people appear to be anti-social; and are only social with friends. What does it matter if they are Anti-Social in the first place? ~Vital Rage~

Private servers would be great. Finally AIs actually become useful, I'd love to develop an RPG that isn't some cheesy game with zombie scripts.

This could be applied to more than just RPG's, but an RPG would surely benefit.

Support One question: how do private servers change the whole universe?

Well think of these Private Servers as more of an access point that can be used to give players a more personal closely-knit type of gameplay, which all people from the Universe and the alternate Universes can play in. (By alternate Universe I just mean different copies, you know like when the player limit is reached on games that you see right now, a new server opens up)
