I feel this could be one of the best updates roblox would see in a long time, if implemented safely and correctly.
Basically people should be able to create cross game datastores, allowing two games owned by different people to communicate.
Obviously data corruption and security issues would arise, so there should be security measures put in place, such as restricting certain data inputs or only allowing certain people's games to access your datastore.
One way to do this would be if the datastore creator could put a script in place to act as a server communicating between clients and the datastore. This would be able to run scripts and monitor data being sent to and retrieved from said datastore. |

Anybody that belongs on this forum needs to be mature enough to actually read a post; no good idea will come in one sentence. tl;dr is for idiots. |

Why is it that awful ideas get ridiculous amounts of support and posts but this gets no responses? Has roblox been completely plagued by idiots? |

You can already do that with HTTPService. |

Answer: HttpService.
If you haven't heard, someone created a legit RoPhone, and it uses HttpService to link to another game with that phone, and you type in the player's ID at that other game with the phone and you're able to cross communicate. This has already been implemented. |

HTTPService
I already have multiple games not in the same universe communicating.

Not everybody has the ability to set up a dedicated server for this. This could be implemented just as easily as the current datastores. |

"Not everybody has the ability to set up a dedicated server for this. This could be implemented just as easily as the current datastores."
This has nothing to do with dedicated servers or not. I don't think you even know what a dedicated server is, and the fact that you don't even need a dedicated server shows that you don't understand how to implement something like this.
You can go get a free web host if you don't want to host it on your computer. |

@Above you must be a complete idiot if you think that you don't need a "dedicated server". A dedicated server is a computer running your service, in this case a website, 24/7.
It would be more affordable than paying a re-occurring fee for a website, so yes, a dedicated server would be best.
You make me wonder if the Earth has been completely plagued by idiots. |

":@Above you must be a complete idiot if you think that you don't need a "dedicated server". A dedicated server is a computer running your service, in this case a website, 24/7."
No. A dedicated server isn't a server running 24/7. A dedicated server is where the only thing running on a computer (besides OS resources) is a server.
"It would be more affordable than paying a re-occurring fee for a website, so yes, a dedicated server would be best."
1) A website most of the time is a dedicated server.
2) As I said there are free websites you can use to host your website. You don't even need a visitable website. Just a script to point to your database (which these hosts usually provide a database set up).
Completely free without re-occurring fees,
000webhost.com
awardspace.com
x10hosting.com
If you want a free domain name, you can go check out Dot TK or something. Otherwise you usually can get a free subdomain name of sorts by these websites.
3) Dedicated server can be anything from a webserver, to a game server, to a simple chat server. It has no specific type of server. The only thing it tells you is that it is the only thing running on a computer, which means it's only resources go into sending and receiving data.
4) Because of how HTTPService works, you cannot use just any ole "dedicated" server to send and/or receive data. You can only get data from a website by using GET and you can only send data by using POST.
"You make me wonder if the Earth has been completely plagued by idiots."
I'm an idiot because you don't know what the Hell you're even talking about, much less willing to go do research? What an ignorant pompous child you are. |

tl;dr-ed it
btw if it makes you feel any better I understand how upset you must be and therefore sanction your actions. I have a tendency to bash imbeciles quite often and it appears that they respond in rage, such as above -- whatever that might be. |

If you can't bother to read an argument, then you're an imbecile. |

lol no support
mainly because you seem to have little idea of what you are talking about, and because, as already pointed out, people can do this with HttpService |
