Vip servers are cool and all, but I still lose connection when I join my brother's vip server. You should add an ability to play on a local network. That will stop me and my brothers from losing connection, and potentially I can use hamachi with one of my friends across the world. It would make a good option to sell for robux, or possibly make it free. It would work well in horror games, when you just want to play with your friends and nobody else. If you guys agree or disagree, let me know why. I want to see your opinions on this.

Let me correct the part that says "It would work well in horror games, when you just want to play with your friends and nobody else." What I meant to say is play with friends and nobody else without connection issues. (VIP servers lag a lot tbh)

Then you would need to download the game to your computer to host it, And that could cause mass stealing of all kinds of games. No support.

First off, how in the world would you have to download a game in order to host it lan? Roblox is downloaded to your computer, so wouldn't it just use that instead? And, roblox could implement a way where stealing is impossible.

That is the client, but you can't connect to the game without internet. Like, client is a person which tells the game create a server. The server serves client, so you can't play without it. And internet (not local, but the worldwide) is their power source. Like: client -> game = server (playable game) -> are signals sent with internet That means to play in LAN, you will need the game (file) on your computer. So that means you could only play self-made games or get them from uncopylocked sources.

That does make sense. I guess lan would be a terrible idea. Although, it would be nice to lose connection less on vip servers.

eh. this isnt a bad suggestion. though, everyone involved would have to be informed of the consequences. maybe the game would have to be uncopylocked before using the LAN option.
