Outrageous Builders Club

Monthly $19.95

Lifetime $N/A - It is possible to buy a Lifetime membership but you are required to call the number given by ROBLOX and it is outrageously priced, at the least: $400 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.82.15.141 (talk) 13:27, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you wish to purchase a Lifetime membership, please call the number given by ROBLOX. ROBLOX has not determined a set price yet at the moment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.72.203.237 (talk) 21:18, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is not relevant to the article at all. Under my normal account (which I need to log in to again soon), I deleted a huge table detailing Builders Club memberships. 90.196.224.251 (talk) 11:22, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't encyclopedic. Jeremjay24 22:05, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. This article now uses these highs and lows to display the game's outrageous pricing. --Gert7 (talk) 19:10, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Advertising issues

I've highlighted in bold the bits that sound like an advertisement to me in the leading section.

... virtual playground and workshop designed for children aged 6 and over. While it can be played for free, many features are omitted without a subscription. The game is made up of building bricks of various shapes and sizes. Roblox has no pre-defined goals. Players can build anything such as houses, cities, swimming pools, and more and share them with the Roblox community. Roblox users can program the places they create with a modified version of Lua 5.1. Roblox is part of the TRUSTe privacy program and the Better Business Bureau rated 'A'.There Is A bunch of famous people like Roblox,JJ5x5,Telamon,Spidey7823 etc.

1. "designed for" and "virtual playground"? These are not technical terms.
2. "such as..." why give examples? not needed.
3. "program places" This is an incorrect use of the verb "program"...
4. "better business bureau" Well known for being biased.

I have removed the examples as given by 'such as', and changed program to script. As for the bbb rating, I beleive we should leave it there for readers to make their own opinions on. And technical terms are not always nessecary in wikipedia, unless you can think of anything more 'technical' to replace those terms with? - Domos123 Talk | Contributions 23:48, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I am thinking about making a "Player & Media Feedback" section to take that part out and to replace it there. Jeremjay24 22:01, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
If doing that, everything must be sourced with third party reliable references.--Gordonrox24 | Talk 21:32, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That's the point. I'm not doing it now since there are no available references to use with it. Jeremjay24 19:43, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request from 75.108.247.89, 18 May 2010

{{editsemiprotected}}

  • Please replace THE WHOLE PAGE with this:

(content removed; used in this diff

  • I have got rid of every specific detail that sounded like an advertizement... you should never tell the prices for all three Builders Club subscription options. Just say, "you can upgrade."

Am I right?

75.108.247.89 (talk) 12:41, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Um, yes, I think so. Seems better. Anyway, per WP:BRD, I've done it; if someone disagrees with the changes, they can revert or whatever. Thanks,  Chzz  ►  13:01, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Done

Looks good. Thanks Chzz!!--Gordonrox24 | Talk 23:18, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Good job on this. Seems like you guys are working hard even without me. :P Jeremjay24 22:01, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Number of places

It says in the article that there are over 8 million places based on players. However, if you look at the number of pages of places in the "Recently Updated" section of the Catalog, there are (when I checked)471,194. Considering there are 20 places per page, 471,194 x 20 = 9,423,880. Therefore, should the article be changed accordingly? PaleoKaden (talk) 02:10, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but unless you can find a reliable 3rd party source, it's not worth the hassle of the article almost being deleted again for being too much like an advert - Domos123 Talk | Contributions 01:33, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
