"We put a new release of Roblox online around 2pm yesterday. After making sure everything was running fine, we went to our design meeting without telling anyone what we had done. Someone else was wondering aloud whether any user would find the “Sell a shirt” feature before we told everyone about it. I joked that when we got out of our meeting that there would be fifty user shirts for sale. It was more like 75.
Selling Shirts
Builder’s Club members can now make and sell shirts! This was the feature I was alluding to in the post about Matt’s awesome secret demo. I think this feature is really exciting for two reasons: 1) it’s another fun way to make some Robux and 2) it ensures a constant supply of new cool shirts, coming into the catalogue all the time.
This is a Builder’s Club only feature. This is not going to change. However, we will be selling Builder’s Club subscriptions soon.
How to sell a shirt:
Create a shirt. You can only sell shirts that you’ve made.
Find the shirt in your My Stuff section.
Click “Edit this Shirt”
Now you can write a nice title and description for your item. This will show up in the catalogue, so you want to write something good.
Check the “Sell this Item” box at the bottom of the screen.
Set your price. You can sell a shirt for any price you like. However, there is a 1 R$ or 10% (whichever is higher) transaction fee on each shirt you sell.
Your shirt will now appear in the catalogue. You can remove it from sale by going back to the shirt’s page and unchecking the “Sell this item” box.
It will be interesting to see what happens to the shirt market now that there are about 30 people who are able to sell shirts. Will prices remain high? Will everyone sell for super-cheap in order to appear higher in the “Best Selling” list? Or will all good shirts end up costing 14 R$, the price that gives the seller the largest profit percentage? Will widespread bootlegging of shirts become an issue?
Capture the Flag
Capture the Flag is here! In Capture the Flag games, two or more teams fight to inflitrate an enemy base and steal their flag. A team scores when they bring an enemy flag back to their flag stand. Beware! The flag carrier cannot use weapons while the flag is equipped, and needs to be defended!
How to make your place into a CTF level (no scripting required!):
Open your place in Roblox Studio.
Open the toolbox.
Goto the “Game Objects” tab of the toolbox.
Insert a Red and a Blue Flag Stand into your place.
Insert the Leaderboard script into your place.
Insert at least one Red and one Blue Spawn Location into your place.
Publish your place.
Yes, it is that easy.
If you want to inspect or copy a very simple CTF level, check out my sample CTF place.
RocketPropulsion Object
Erik made a great post yesterday about his new RocketPropulsion object, which will let people make lots of cool things, like heat-seeking rockets. To see a sample usage of this object, check out Erik’s Rocket Mayhem place.
IP Ban
We have implemented IP Banning in this past release. This will allow us to permanently banish problem users from Roblox. If you share a computer or an internet connection with someone else who plays Roblox, make sure that everyone using that connection is playing nice, since an IP Ban blocks specific internet connections, rather than specific user accounts.
New Builder’s Club Members
We used miked’s formula from our BC formula contest to find 20 experienced users to help us test selling shirts and any other upcoming BC features. Unlike BC accounts won in contests, which are lifetime accounts, these accounts expire in six months. When a BC account expires, you get to keep your extra places.
The lucky testers are:
pokemon97
waffleboy
Zora560
DracoSwordMaster
kokosekko
Sora867
buttlad
Sirloin
are14
fleskhjerta
dark501
ToaZuku
William
Chels
chrisd
builder
ZeroxxKoopaButtlad
laylabookheart
kokosekko2
jacbob
Website Improvements
Matt and Erik have again improved the performance of the website, so pageloads should remain snappy.
Bugfixes
We’ve made some important bug fixes in this release. In particular, you guys can thank Builderman for fixing the spawn bug." Clearly not a bug MODS! |

WELL THIS IS A NICE FIRST DAY BC AFTER PAYING FOR ONCE AGAIN AFTER 3 YEARS.
I shouldn't have bought it and will not buy it again if this stays. |

The part that clearly says that the ex-BC places are in fact valid and ex-BC players are supposed to keep their places "New Builder’s Club Members

Ban me for this if you'd like but ~FREEDOM OF SPEECH~
ROBLOX... It was a great game back in 2008, now it has become a game where you have to pay for EVERYTHING.
ROBLOX was epic back in the day.
Now a load of crap... (Excuse my language)
People are rage quitting because of this.
What have you done? We paid for places, we deserve to keep them. Even if we lost BC.
Ban me for this. It will only prove that is your only power.
Why ROBLOX... Why?
If you ban me for this... and people see this post and find out i've been banned. Some might quit. ROBLOX, Reverse this glitch before you lose players...
You're about to lose me..
almost 2,000 (Or so I've heard) have quit because of this.
Remember ban me but, there is a number one rule in America where you guys and I live. FREEDOM OF SPEECH! |

If Ex-BC's retaining their places was technically a "glitch", then surely the BC-only items which were said to be only temporary will eventually be removed? |

Thank you for reading our comments. Just because someone doesn't still have a membership doesn't mean they aren't a loyal customer. |

I hope they change their minds about this "NBC only get 1 place" thing. |

@Reese and any other Moderator
Stop being some hypocrites.(http://blog.roblox.com/2007/06/user-marketplace-capture-the-flag-and-heat-seeking-rockets/)
I bought BC a few times to KEEP MY PLACES because I actually BUILD on them. I don't want you to keep using my money up for a few places, especially now since ROBLOX is going downhill. (Too many obbies and tycoons and copied games. Also spammers and some scammers.) Whats next? Another update that makes it so NBC can't even get a place? Or lemme guess, an update that makes you have to pay robux just to update a place? Or is it gonna be more hardcore and you guys make it so only BC members can play games, chat, forum, participate in contests that we don't have anymore? I'm not even gonna open up R. Studio since I read this. I want to keep my places because you guy's REALLY SHOULD CHANGE YOUR MINDS.
Happy Ranting to ya;

I WILL NOT LEAVE THIS THREAD UNTIL I CAN RE-BUILD, I WILL NOT BUY BC UNTIL THIS IS FIXED, THIS IS THE ONLY THING I LOOK FORWARD TO AFTER LOSING BC, THEN RE-BUYING BC.
FIX THIS, I CAN'T BUILD OR MAKE GAMES UNLESS THIS IS FIXED.
And to think I was going to look forward for the in-game sales. |

I'm going to buy some energy drinks, and post here all night. |

Also considering the games run on a cloud storage, it really doesn't save that much space even if it is inactive. Anyway although servers themselves may have high cost in data all of that data is usually localized to one game. |

@Reese: Yes, but before the recent update ex-BC users had ten active places still and most NBC'ers still used those places, but now the work they've done to them can't be played now. |

The thing that kinda irks me is how they waited so long for this to basically become a known fact in the community that NBC get to keep their places, and then they take it away after about five years and then blame it on a glitch. I mean, come on, you had your chance to fix this when the problem first arose but you chose to let it sink in and let people think that they got to keep their places.
I just feel like I've been lied to, that's all. I understand that they need money and if this ultimately ends at NBC only keeping one place, then so be it. I just wish they wouldn't of lied to us like that.
But, whatever, things happen I guess. |

Well the forum wars have sort of stopped and we got the attention of multiple people at the roblox HQ, I think we've had enough. However you can still fight for this until it becomes a reality.

We don't have to flip out, but don't let this thread die. |

I'm not saying let this thread die. In fact I'm saying fight until our dream is a reality. |
