I first joined Roblox back in 2017, wow it’s been a long journey! I guess I was 9 years old when I first got to know about Roblox! So, what is Roblox? Roblox is an online game that allows you to play with millions of other users. Roblox was made in 2006. For the game, we can buy “Robux” which gives us access to many accessories our characters can wear and give a certain style to our character. Players in the game use the English language to communicate! I felt bad whenever I spoke the wrong word while communicating with others. But, it also helped me improve English to some extent! I observed players say words I had not known! I stopped playing Roblox almost for a year in between.
Again in the middle of 2018, I started to play! After coming back to the game after a year, I was amazed because everything has changed like graphics, controls, etc. I still remember the first time when I discovered we could play Roblox on a PC, I rushed to my PC and downloaded Roblox. I didn’t know the controls and it was funny back then how I struggled with controls. Time went by, I literally got addicted to this game. I also got a few Robux by requesting my dad to buy it! Oh, did I tell you that you have to buy Robux from a real currency? I was very happy, for the first time I got to edit my character! But that happiness did not last long. I gave one of my friends the password of my account- a bad idea! Then, my account got hacked. I was very upset because I had achieved a lot in that game. For the next three months, I left Roblox but I eventually came back. I created a new account and started to play again! The players in the game make me happy. In early 2019, I started to watch many Roblox YouTubers. I also made some online friends but the good thing about Roblox is, it takes care of your privacy. Roblox only allows you to chat about the game that you want to play with your friend. If you try to give any outside information the game blocks it! I have also met my best friend there; believe it or not! We still play! We spend quite a time playing because it makes us happy and we utilize our leisure time.
Now that 2020 has come, Roblox has changed a lot as a game. In the past four years, I have met close to 500 players online! But I wish Roblox would never shut down because it’s a good way to pass our leisure time! This is my Roblox journey till now! I have many more to go; I’ll never stop playing it- but only in my leisure time!
