To be revealingly honest, I am horrible with coming up with titles for my articles. So, I do my best and then the editor(s) write one that is usually WAY better. Thank goodness for editors! So I can’t take credit for this title. However, I see what the intent was. A title like this helps people find games that are Lego-like. If they used brick-based, they would probably just attract a lot of brick layers and not kids who live interlocking plastic bricks. Lego has become generic, much as in the same way Kleenex means tissue, Band Aid means adhesive bandage and Guy McDowell means way-cool dude who writes for MUO.

I wasn’t giving negative criticism. I rather liked Area 51, but was wondering if there is a way to ‘win’ at that level. I think you may read something into my comments that just wasn’t there.

Guy – great article – you should probably use the term “brick-based” in your title, because ROBLOX has nothing to do with lego, as noted in the article and on the ROBLOX home page. Also, lego shouldn’t be used as a generic term for “brick” given that there are about 20 different manufacturers of lego compatible interlocking bricks.

Err…
whoever wrote that report then your mainly wrong…
The idea of area 51 was just a good fun place to hang out with loads of friends

-and do you want your character to actually die when you have bought and created all that fun stuff.

Would you like your childs character to die and encourage violence?

- of course your character would regenerate.
And if some games are not so good, then they have obviously just joined roblox.
But I agree roblox dosent really have any downsides.

Roblox is a great game for kid’s for 13 years or older. Well you can join up lower but Roblox Community is falling and we great ROBLOXian’s are saving Roblox and bringing it up. I have been on Roblox for 10 Month’s.

My son LOVES creating new worlds on Roblox. I like that he is learning basic programming skills and gaining an understanding of how online interaction can occur… in a relatively “safe” environment. Thanks for sharing your experience too!
