Community:1dev3/Robloxity

Robloxity is a role-playing game created by 1dev3, an alternative account of 1dev2. 1dev2 is also responsible for the famous game Welcome to the Town of Robloxia. This game was first launched in March 2013, and had been in development since early 2009.

The game currently has more than 26 million site visits and over 220,000 favorites. It has appeared on the front page of the game section after launch. However, the game was shut down several times and the game's popularity began to drop dramatically. Currently not many players play this game, on typical days the player count averages less than 20. It is now regarded as a classic game.

Gameplay
The game is a Town and City RPG in which players can take on many different roles or jobs, such as Police Officer, News Reporter, or Bus Driver. Players can also choose to be an adult, child, or pet, by using morphs. The map contains a large city where skyscrapers and shops dominate the landscape. A few smaller-scale neighborhoods are located on the outskirts of the larger city. The city is separated by a river, only connected by a bridge and surrounded by a countryside and desert landscape.

Unlike most Town and City roleplay games, the location of various things in the map is spread out, connected by a series of rolling highways. Housing is also spread out throughout the map, as opposed to being concentrated in neighborhoods. Like Welcome to the Town of Robloxia, players can earn money by getting a job. The city has a few resemblances of many present-day real-life urban cities, such as New York City and Atlanta. Another difference between this game and Welcome to the Town of Robloxia is that there is a PvP mode if the players have selected Police Officer or Criminal roles. Police can use the Pistol or Shotgun to kill criminals, and Criminals do exactly the same to the Police. All other jobs cannot be harmed by weapons to prevent excessive abuse of power.

Reception
The game has been met with mostly positive reception with about an 86% upvote rating. Although it does not get many visits as it once did, it is still very popular among veteran players, mainly for its large map and roleplay abilities. The realism of the city and gameplay has also been met with critical acclaim.

Before the August 2019 update, many exploiters found ways to hack Robloxity money because it was somewhat difficult to get money from working in the game. As of now, all users are granted an immediate one million dollars cash in-game. Similar to 1dev3's other games, large amounts of Online Daters used the role-playing format of the game to form online "relationships".

At the time of its initial release in 2012, the game became an immediate hit. It charted the front page, where—for multiple years—it stayed and dominated the genre of Town and City games. During its release, Robloxity was praised by users for its realism. Even as time progressed and far more realistic games (such as Ultimate Driving) became available, it maintained a dedicated playerbase consisting mainly of active role-players. It has been regarded as one of the most influential games on the platform.

Inactivity and temporary shutdown
In June 2013, the game was shut down. 1dev3 suspected that a user had hacked the game, but in July of the same year, he came back and admitted that the game was not hacked, and concluded that a Roblox update had broken the game. The game title returned to "Robloxity" adding on "(fix ...)" after the main title. It was later repaired and activated once again.

The game then returned to the front page on July 26, 2013. Two other incidents of exploitation took place: one in August 2013, resulting in another temporary suspension, and another in December 2013. Afterwards, the game did not receive any further updates until March 2014.

Around 2017 to 2018, Roblox was reviewing the game as it didn't use Roblox's new chat filter. Players were unable to visit the game during this time period. On June 8, 2019, 1dev3 fixed the issue and the game is no longer under review. Shortly after the game was fixed and "revived," the default in-game cash balance was set to 1 million in celebration.
