its so funny how everyone treated this like it was the end of the world edit: me realising this was almost a yr ago another edit: its almost the 2 year anniversary time flies
this is actually interesting on how well the staff team handled this so quickly, although they arent the best at moderation, they are good at whatever happened.
Yeah, because usually it takes about 3 4 hours to solve and that’s just an average outage which is good!, but a bad one lasts for a day, and the severe wines last for like 2 days and this one lasted 3, technically 4 days for me, whatever the heck happened with the servers it must’ve been more than 1 outages at once, or a server broke idk, I’m going with multiple outages that were bad, glad it’s fixed though!.
The half outage that happened a few days ago was REALLY long. It went for about a literal 2 days before some clients shut off 100%. For instance, you COULD NOT buy gamepasses in game AT ALL and it would just show {ITEM_NAME} as the product's name. Then 1 day before avatars stopped rendering when you changed them for an hour. Then on the outage day, nearly all games had about 90% to 30% active players as usual. Funnily the avatars still worked that day. Then that banner appeared (Server issues) and the status page updated to major outage. Then the next day Roblox acted like it hadn't even happened, strange.
I was a rare user that witnessed this. But most importantly, I didn’t get any bad requests or got taken out of a game. I feel like I should be rewarded by roblox that I survived this event.
@Alexander Grassleaf When I was on pet simulator x(On my old hacked account), I saw that my avatar is noob, rejoining and worked, after few hours, its harder to play and I was unable to play any games, I tried joining strongman simulator but doesn't work and the website itself after i attempted to join strongman simulator is very broken and discover page won't even load, I hope this wouldn't happen again or else I will quit roblox for 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 years
@@UAF16 So basically what he means is that the outage caused less amount of players to join a game than usual. For example let's say BRM5 (good game btw you should try it out) usually has 1000 players but now it has 600 players.
I remember playing Warrior Cats when it happened, everyone was suddenly unable to chat, animations broke, and the only thing everyone could do was run around in fear. Nobody wanted to leave because they didn't know they would be able to get back in. We all friended each other and eventually the game fully shut down to the maintenance screen
my story!!! 4:00 PM: was playing free draw with some friends, suddenly huge chat lag. we waited for it to stop but it wouldn't so we chat using the drawings 6:00 PM: games got rlly laggy, eventually left to play a diff game and try to reset my wifi. tried to play a diff game but it wasn't any better. some things weren't loading, my avatar wasn't working, and stuff. tried to reconnect my wifi for like, the 1000th time 7:00 PM: eventually stopped trying and decided to wait for next day, if i remember correctly outages were pretty common that month 7:00 AM: tried again. and hooooly crap everything was blank. just gave up because roblox isn't normally out for that long, had to go to school so i hoped they fixed it when I came home 2:00 PM: *it was not fixed.* i got an error message on a white screen and i gave up. downdetector reports were going wild 7:00 PM DOWNDECTOR REPORTS GALORE. dear god, there were so many will finish some time later if i get enough likes. motivation ran out
Don't say it..... I started in 2019 so not that much but 3 years almost! My first acc was 2019 and I made more accounts but I settled on supremegaming1538 it was a meme account but it's my main now. Crazy right? I shifted mains!
Sorry about this but I didn't know about this because I was sick and got homework to do, so I was unaware of what is going on with Roblox (one of my favorite game)
It’s been almost 2 months since that day. It was a Thursday when ROBLOX went down and on the next Monday, it came back. I had a calmer reaction to it and didn’t have a panic attack because the point that Halloween was really close and I knew that the ROBLOX devs will fix everything.
@@IcYeler i was on twitter! And yea i screenshot when the website shutdown. I make some burrito's memes lol in twitter when roblox is still down. I'm gonna be part of the history of this
it gave me the chills when he started playing sad music along with "we are making things more awesome" screen.. idk it just made me think like how in 2040 we just live in the metaverse and its fantasy
My reactions 1-10 hours: Roblox is getting worse 15th hour: Hmm I can stil play 18-22 hour: Wowwwwww 46th hour: I miss roblox 68th hour: Niceeeeeeee 69-78 hour: Finally just what the world needs

The next day: Aight, they've fixed it
30 minutes: Ah yes, the burrito. 3 hours: How is it not fixed yet!?! 5 hours: Still nothing!?! Tomorrow, I guess. 15 hours: FINALLY! I have access to the site! 18 hours: I had access and now I don't! Rest In Peace Roblox. 1 day: *endless scrolling on twitter intensifies* 2 days: Never forget. 68 hours: Another update! Is this real? 69 hours: Limited access, huh. Also nice. 71 hours: Finally have access! 4 days: Finally... it's 100% over.
1-6 hours : bro what is happening 7-67 hours : i refuse to touch grass... please help me... need lego game... 68 hour : WOOO YEAH BABY THATS WHAT IVE BEEN WIATING FOR THAF SHWA TID ALL ABOUT
Here's mine: (My reactions start from 11th hour because I am sleeping while Roblox is fucked up.) 11st-15th hours: Let's look at youtube. Bruh what? Roblox is down? 16th- 18th hours: Soo, website is being more faster and some players can enter but i can't. Whyyyyy? 19th hour: They shutdowned the website. 45th hour: Fix this faster plz. 71st hour: Some players can enter but I can't. I think Europe and Asia servers don't opened yet. 79th hour: I can enter to Roblox yea!
i remember the exact moment this happened 2 years ago, i was eating at a restaurant and i was playing piggy when that happened to my avatar and i thought it was because of my bad wifi but then i got disconnected and even when i got home i still couldn’t play
I love that in the end part of tee video the music is starting to be more chill and joyful. This is the biggest problem Roblox has encountered yet... Maybe we can encounter a more bad problems but I don't want it to happen again...
Alright, so my shutdown story was VERY irritating. What was happening was that I was playing a game called New Eden (A sort of SCPish game, but with dinosaurs). I was performing a test with a group of dinosaurs. After the test was concluded, I tried telling the Ranger that was assisting to transport the dinos back to the Reserve (Where all the dinosaurs are, played by actors). No response, and chat began breaking. Eventually I got on Discord and told the Ranger to send the dinos back. I logged out, and thought things would fix themselves the next day. Boy, was I wrong.
My memory of this is: I was on Roblox studio since I’ve been working for at least 2 hours. And then it suddenly wouldn’t work, so I decided to play some crossroads. When i tried, the play button didn’t work and it ended up almost always coming up with bad requests. I went to sleep and now when I woke up, I saw i couldn’t even play it, and that it had officially shut down.
Back then when i feel so entertained with roblox, it's just so empty without roblox, and it lasts for a day, all of that just because of people getting trying to get free burritos Never knew this was 2 years ago, but this lives as a historical moment now
When this started I was scared, I was playing eviction notice with my friends and our avatars were noobs, my friend’s avatar was frozen and there were duplicates of her avatar, we were getting bored and decided to stop playing for a while, I came back in, I saw my account was logged out. I was like “huh?” I tried to log in but it would not let me. I was getting really scared and thought my account was getting hacked but my friends said their accounts were logged out and they couldn’t log back in. A few weeks or a week later, roblox came back on but it was still a little bit glitchy but then in the meantime it was working fine. I’m happy it’s back together! ^w^
I think we were lucky that we were the first ones that couldn't be able to do anything, cuz seeing how roblox, a VERY BIG GAME, gets slowly worse and worse, until is literally unplayable is just terrifying.
i got banned right before halloween for a week and then when i got back, i could play for a while but i got disconnected a bit later. thought i got banned again but nope
Bro I know its been 2 years but that outage was so weird because me and my bros were just chilling playing some random game and then our avatars became noobs and it all went downhill. Longest 3 days I've ever felt
When this happened, I was sleeping happily on my school holiday, but one day before the problems started, I invited my friends to the game I created on Roblox and we were having fun playing together. Then suddenly our characters froze and Roblox disconnected me saying "check your internet" When I looked later, everyone, even my friends, had been kicked out of the game. I didn't think this problem was a serious problem.However, when I woke up the next day, my friend told me that he could not see his account, I thought he had forgotten his password, but when I entered Roblox later, I was kicked out of my account. That day, I couldn't access Roblox from my phone at all. It only gave internet errors. When I logged in from the computer, I was given at least a little access to Roblox.I decided to play Dont Press Button, suddenly all my data and money were reset, then I was kicked out of the game and after 1-2 hours I received the message "We are making things awesome. We be back soon".When I woke up 2-3 days later, in the video I saw on Tiktok, a girl was happy saying 'Roblox is open!' Then when I looked at it immediately, Roblox was opened and I was very happy. But I had to go to school haha
I could still access roblox when it was down back then, if I waited for it to load then it would log me out, but if I didn't wait for it to load I could play, legends of speed (what I played when Roblox was down) was empty EMPTY, I was the only one playing the game and all my friends were offline, so some but VERY LITTLE of the roblox players could still play but we lost that because it got worse, 27k+ players wanted "Oh free burrito from chipotle for the first 14k people!" And that's how roblox crashed, I hope people are happy with their goddamn burrito though, the chipotle event was just one of the worse times to have in roblox, especially the crashing of roblox. No Im not a pc player, I'm a mobile one *the playing game part happened for 1 day and half the other day roblox was down for a lot of others, like I said, I could still play roblox around the first day and the other half of the other day*
looking back on the infamous 3 day outage, i kinda miss it, since there were so many memes going around at the time and they were all really funny. i remember the night it started working again; october 31st, i was really worn out from trick or treating and i could barely walk because my feet hurt so bad. it was a fun time tbh. i miss late 2021
At some point trying to log in it said unexpected error, and I thought nothin of it. My sister and mom said they couldnt open roblox, as it would close instantly after. I thought my pc was glitchy until my friends told me about it. It then showed the be back soon screen. 3 days later after trick or treating, i heard it was back. I rushed so fast inside that my sis almost died i scared her so bad lol
It was a weird time I must say avatars were glitching some did not obey gravity some times I would get disconnected. I would try to join a game, BIG FAT ERROR.
Ah, I remember this event fondly, The three days i used to work on a paper head of an ice cream cat. Out of paper and hot glue and styrofoam. No, I never finished it, But the "I hate you" fnf song playing hiding under a plastic table holding the hot glue gun while laying sideways against the cold floor will forever be a wonderful memory.
