Community:Cindering/Roblox High School

Roblox High School is a popular Roblox experience created by in April 2009. It is a high school roleplaying game with over 570,000,000 visits. The game is less popular now and averages about 75 players due to being an outdated legacy game, according to Cindering. The game takes place in a small town featuring places such as a club, stores, restaurants, and other locations. Players can earn money and buy items such as cars, gear, pets, and more. Some users criticize Roblox High School for the lack of students who participate in school, as players are not actually required to go. There is also an official fan club of the game known as the Roblox High School: Fan Club, which gives access to the iCinder in-game, a phone which is used for private messaging.

The game received many updates after its release, including a summer 2015 update which remade the map and added many new features. It has also been included in numerous developer-made Roblox events, such as Alvin and the Chipmunks, Summer Camp, Around The World, and ROBLOX Imagination. It has a sequel game, Roblox High School 2, created by Cindering and a team of developers.

Gameplay
There are 8 teams which are principal, teachers/staff, freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors, cheerleaders and athletes. There are also 4 game passes which are enforcer's powers, gold VIP, club DJ and unrestricted DJ powers. Having enforcer's powers makes the principal team better, and having both DJ passes allows money to be earned as DJ. It is not only a high school, but also a fine town. It has locations like dance clubs, swimming pools, and even has cabins for camping. Players can buy their own houses with money, and they can also rent a cabin and apartment. To get money, players can just wait, because they will get three dollars every thirty seconds or so, or they can go fishing. With the fishing rod players can catch fish, and a man will automatically pay players for them. They can also find and collect fallen stars (depicted as meteor-like stars with bright purple fire and sparkles) and will be awarded 10 RHS Cash and 100 Player Points.

Ghost Hunt Event
During the Ghost Hunt event, players could have used a tool known as a "magic net" and used a "ghost bait" to catch ghosts (depicted as transparent Roblox players with their legs slightly rotated) which moved around in the game. In the center of the map were piles of pumpkins and orange crates with skulls on them as well as a witch players could have talked to. The music was also different during this event to match the holiday's theme (with the exception of the music in Club Red).

Holiday Event
During the holiday event, players could have found green glowing gifts scattered around the map, which granted players either a piece of furniture or in-game cash. Players could have also met elves also scattered in random places, who needed at least three items (usually items that could have been bought from various locations in the game) to give players a "big" gift (despite the gifts being described as "big", they were actually items that were not very expensive.) The elves began to appear around 12:00 AM (although some may appear at other times) and left at 7:00 AM. Once they were about to leave, a message would appear above all elves which said "Leaving now!", and after 15 seconds, the elves completely disappeared from the game. At the center of the map, there was a red circular fabric carpet which had a Christmas tree surrounded by a pile of presents, and showed Larry (who explained to players about the gift hunt and the holiday sale, and gave players "daily gifts", which were gifts players must have earned by joining the game each day during the event) sitting on a green armchair in front of the tree. The map was also winter-themed, with the ground colored white to resemble snow as well as all of the trees' leaves and the beach's sand. The beach's entrances were blocked by chain gates attempting to prevent players from accessing the beach, however they could have still accessed it by climbing or jumping through the fences. Like the Ghost Hunt event, the music was changed for the same reason. When players joined the game for the first time during the event, a message box would appear giving them information about the event. The bottom right corner button was replaced by a gift button, although it still functioned similarly.

Criticism
Roblox High School has been heavily criticized due to the fact that many online daters play the game. The perceived mentality by community members that Roblox moderation does not read in-game reports has also led to few players submitting reports, which further exacerbates this issue. Ever since Roblox High School 2 was released for free on December 14, 2018 with new and updated anti-exploit systems, Roblox High School has become a popular spot for exploiting.

Trivia

 * There is an easter egg where if players managed to enter a secret room (via entering through the cracked door on the second floor of the school), they were able to jump in a green pipe (a reference to Nintendo's Super Mario franchise) and be teleported to a large building which contains the creators' rooms. This was later removed in a mid-2015 update among other easter eggs and the pipe now appears to be knocked down, making the building no longer accessible. Since Madi's Music Shop disappeared the pipe was accessible and teleports you to Madi's Music Shop.
 * This is similar to 's Work at a Pizza Place, which has recently removed almost all of its easter eggs.
 * The pipe is actually still hidden behind the cracked door, but it simply doesnt teleport anymore due to the creator rooms area being removed from the game.
 * If you play a very loud song on the DJ stand, it will stop and temporary ban you from playing songs.
 * Some of the old music was taken from a game by Nintendo, named Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Since August 2016, original music has been playing instead due to copyright.
 * Back in March 2016, in the mobile version, you could watch a physical advert for RHS Cash. This is unknown to be true or not as only a few people have witnessed this have most likely forgot about it.
 * Ever since the sequel released, When you join the original game it will give you the option to redirect you to it
 * As of 2022, accounts that have never played RHS Legacy before cannot join this version of the game. Instead, it will redirect you to the sequel
