Maintenance

Maintenance is a period of time where the entire ROBLOX website and service is shut down for updates or general maintenance. During maintenance, any attempts to go to a ROBLOX page will be redirected to a generic maintenance page.

One of the maintenance commonly with yellow banners warns that the player is temporarily unable to connect into servers, but this won't block them from browsing the website. Attempting to play a game will stop ROBLOX Client and warns that the client isn't upgraded. After a few minutes, all players will be automatically kicked out of all running servers.

Maintenance usually occurs when most people are asleep, or at school in different time zones. However, in emergencies maintenance may start at any time.

Online in-game maintenance bugs

 * When maintenance begins, it causes the game to fail to acquire any darn It results that every character has trouble getting their character data, and returns as a 2006 noob character in error. Servers will still be running but other character's in the game will may freeze. Within the next 5 minutes or so, some servers will be shut down based on the command given by ROBLOX maintenance team.
 * Sometimes during maintenance, players can still teleport to other games/places without getting a connection error [?].
 * Servers can sometimes be created with no players in game or every server filled with players the server need. However, they can still shut down for few minutes.

Maintenance banners
Typically, a red banner proclaiming that "The site will be coming down shortly for maintenance" will be displayed on ROBLOX website as a warning to players that the website will be shutting down shortly.When a user uses the ROBLO site while it is undergoing maintenance, an orange banner will be displayed on top of any page the user visits. Players may experience connection issues when joining or playing a game.



During maintenance phases where purchasing Builders Club or ROBUX are disabled, an additional banner may be present alerting users of their inability to make any real-life purchases on ROBLOX.

In-game maintenance GUI
The in-game maintenance GUI is a GUI published on places made by users who attempt to steal ROBUX from ROBLOX Admins. This will tell players to enter login information to play the game. Mostly new inexperienced users tries to get through by putting their login information. When full information is entered, it sends the logs that can be used by the publisher. As the publisher gets in, they take something from, such as currency, inventory, emails, etc. or also closing account or trying to get the account banned. The publisher may be likely to be banned or terminated, and the stolen account's lost items may be retrieved by contacting appeals@roblox.com OR info@roblox.com with evidence.

On this GUI, there is a message that tells the ROBLOX is under maintenance, this claims to be false, as there is no available code like scripts to put ROBLOX into undergoing maintenance.

Variations to the maintenance page
Throughout ROBLOX's history, multiple maintenance pages have been used.
