Travelbloxxers - Journey Into PlaceRebuilder’s World
When I first heard about Trading Worlds, I was a bit skeptical. From what I had heard, it was a state of the art place, including its own economy. This made me think of any old RPG place that was lucky enough to wind up on the front page. I wondered if it was even worth clicking on the visit online button, which for me means a few minutes wait while the game loads. When I began to play however, I was proved to be wrong. Another interesting prospect of trading worlds is its player interactions. You often see a player acting more respectful towards the town rent keeper than to a grizzly old pirate. You will notice how players will cheer on the gladiator, but heckle the challenger from lands afar (that is, unless your wager was on the challenger!). A shipper carrying pumpkins into town is often greeted with warm smiles and a free root beer, but a shipper carrying spinach is quickly thrown out. By playing this game you learn a lot about your fellow Robloxian’s personality then you would in Shark Attack by Huntermc. However, this game can only be seen at its best with many different people with many different occupations. I enjoy it most when you focus on shipping and trading more than killing and looting. Fighting has become a large part of this game, and it shouldn’t be. I have to admit that this is one of my all time favorite maps in my almost whole year of Roblox. Its unique game play and innovative style really appeals to more hardcore users who have played for a while. I have to rate this place an 8/10 because although there are many exploitable loopholes in this map, it is still so much fun at the end of a long day. Rivaling classics like Ultimate Paintball CTF by miked and Sword Fight on the Heights III, PlaceRebuilder has hit the jackpot with his newest addition to the Roblox hall of fame. em -ReeseMcBlox a

Mt. ROBLOX Diaries
Travelogue to strong It’s getting late; we should take one picture then turn in. Let me climb up there now. strong strong strong strong strong strong And directly after this picture of us on top of the mountain was taken, a stray teapot injured our photographer, Masterchiefy, and he had to be airlifted to Chel’s Seattle Grace Hospital. The paramedic said he will make a full recovery, and was lucky to have been with other people when this happened. We are going to head down now, and we will visit Masterchiefy at the hospital. We have to rush, so I’m going to end here for today. strong If I were to rate the time I had at Mt. Roblox, forgetting the tragic event that occurred, I would give it a 7 out of 10, because although I had a great time, the idea got boring quickly, and took a very long time to do. All and all, I may visit again, but not very often. I’ll stop writing now, before I fall asleep. em -ReeseMcBlox a

RobloxPolice Gives the Low Down on RobloxPolice
strong This week we reprise our Reports From Robloxia column, written by you, the citizens of Robloxia. This week’s article is written by RobloxPolice, one of our most accomplished builders and owner of the current #1 all-time most popular place on Roblox. Due to his skills and possibly his account name, people often assume that RobloxPolice is an official Roblox moderator or admin. To set the record straight: this is not the case. Rest assured, the Roblox Team has strong libertarian leanings; we would never set up a police state in Robloxia. Enough introduction, let’s see what RP has to say… - Telamon strong strong A lonely programmer like me writing an article to an international hit! Hi, this is RobloxPolice and I’m here to give the scoop and me and the Police Force of Roblox. A lot of people have been asking me who I am, so I’ll start there… strong a strong Well the Police Force is open to the best of Roblox. In order to join you have to be an honest trustworthy person above all! The Police Force is here to help and serve the community of Roblox! Here are the requirements for joining as I posted them in the forums: strong strong I’m not gonna tell you it’s as easy as pie! But I’m sure strong Well I can’t release to many details, but yes. There are some goodies coming. There’s some low level secrets like new maps and a new “competition” or “tournament” coming from the Police Force to see who really is the best of Roblox. I plan to start developing more new game types and possibly the First RPG map of Roblox History. But we’ll see what happens. strong I don’t just make awesome maps: sometimes I visit awesome maps and talk to other awesome people! So I’ve compiled a list of my top 5 favorite maps not affiliated with me… - RobloxPolice

Reports From Robloxia
Last week the Roblox team decided we would like to experiment with a ”Reports From Robloxia” column written directly by our players for the Roblog. I solicited articles from a few of Robloxia’s finest builders and brick warriors, offering them the chance to write about whatever they like. - Telamon - - - span That is exactly what I told my friend who first showed me Roblox. Ever since then I have been playing this game pretty regularly. It really took me a while to kinda get good at this game… like some of you out there I was a total noob… but after a while and some practice vs. some of the better players like strong Ok well let’s see here - I’ll just start listing them… let’s say you are fighting someone and you and that person are not that far away. When this happens normally I like to whip out my rocket and shoot near them and close to the ground. Now you might be like why close to the ground… well the answer for this would be that you don’t have to hit the person you just have to get the explosion of the rocket to hit them to kill them. Sometimes the person gets lucky and just loses a leg. Another little trick I like to use is what I call head bouncing. So here is the situation someone is shooting from an area up above you… well obviously they have the advantage in most situations by being higher up. So my solution is the super ball. I get out that weapon and aim to hit their head. Now this won’t get you a one hit kill but hey it is more fun for you. If you have a nice shot it will hit your opponent right square in the head and their character will guy flipped over onto their back and bounce around for a bit, fun eh? Well since I don’t want to give away all of my little secrets and tricks here is the last one. Every once in a while you have to go up against a person who is good with the rocket. Well instead of dodging their rockets I like to shoot them down with a super ball. This way you can keep your position, you don’t have to worry about stuff falling down or hitting you, and just on some rare occasions if you do this quick enough the persons rocket will explode right on top of them. Oh yea when fighting if you want to stay alive remember to jump every now and then… ok, I am done now with tips and tricks. strong So what maps are cool out there… well that is all a personal opinion don’t you think? But here are the ones that I like right now. strong Now of course after listing to you all the places I like the most I am going to tell you what I think the coolest users are besides me of course, I mean come on I am the coolest (hope you all got the sarcasm there). These people you definitely want to be friends with. Thunderstealth a.k.a Pilotluke he is a good builder,
