Group


 * This article is about the feature. For the ROBLOX Wikia category for Groups, see Category:Groups. For the category for clans, click here.

Groups are one of the features on Roblox. This feature was created in 2009. Players could create groups of many genres and have a limitless amount of members. All players on Roblox are allowed to join groups, however, only Builder's Club members are allowed to make groups. Making a group costs 100 robux. Players are given a certain limit on how many groups they are able to join based on their membership. Non-Builder's Club members are permitted to join up to five groups at one time, Builder's Club members are allowed to join/own up to 10 groups at one time, Turbo Builder's Club members are given the privilege to own and/or be in up to 20 groups at one time, and members with Outrageous Builder's Club have the capacity to join or own 100 groups.

Creating a group:
In order to create a group, players must first have any type of Builders Club, then go to "My Roblox" and click on the button labeled Groups. On the left of the screen, the list of groups that a player is currently in is listed, along with a button above the list titled "Create New." Players may then type the name of their group into the given box, save the information, pay 100 Robux, and the group is created.

Group Size
On ROBLOX, The size of a group is determined by the number of members it has. These are the ten largest groups:

Types:
Several types of groups exist on Roblox. There are also more not listed.

War Groups
Main Article: War Groups 

One of the most controversial categories of groups and the largest type of ROBLOX Groups, these groups model modern military corporations or Empires. Some examples of famous war groups are The Roblox Assault Team and the United Clan of Roblox. A majority of the super-clans, as well as most groups in existence, are made up of war groups. These groups participate in wars against one other, as well as form alliances. These groups have mandated uniforms for their members to wear, promote them to higher ranks through training sessions, and have special divisions in most cases.

War groups existed as early as when weapon tools came out, around 2006. The first War group using the Groups feature was likely the original X101st Legion group (gid=13).

Along with the features listed above, most war groups have a game-slot dedicated as the main base or headquarters for the group. The purpose of these bases is for players to get to know each other better, as well as ward off oncoming raiders. These bases often contain capture points, offices and other buildings for the group which are contain within a walled compound, as well as raycast guns and other technologies.

These groups are often controvorsial due to forcing users to live by their standards, lest risk exile. Other users find war groups 'too serious' with their fighting, due to most wars between groups begin to involve admin abuse, hacking, and unfairness to the raiding group in defending bases.

Some go to an extent where they force non-war groups to follow their standards, or they would be threatened to be 'hacked'.

Building Groups
These groups are often united by building skills. Unlike war groups, building groups are often friendly with one another, and try to share ideas or help each other out whenever possible. These groups also educate others on how to build and script. Many users join these groups to learn the skills previously mentioned, as well as make friends. An example of a famous building super-group is Pinewood Builders.

Fan Clubs
Fan clubs are groups which have fans for a specific fandom. Discussions within Fan club groups get controvorsial when a 'hater' of the fandom starts an argument.

Controvorsial discussions are common in fan clubs of hated users, My Little Pony fan clubs, Religion-based fan clubs, and Politics-based fan clubs.

Forum Groups
Forum groups are common, such as those used by trolls, like the C&G Council, or ROBLOX Talk.

City Groups
City Groups are created for roleplay Cities. Often times these are headed by a mayor and may be focused on a particular demographic such as law enforcement in the case of Moab ran by the TRC or for rail fans and train spotters in the case of Freeport depending on the creator's preferences.

Shopping/Community Place Groups
Some groups are linked towards a specific community place where many Robloxians do social activities or shop. These include clothing, food and drink making groups. Kestrel ® and Starbucks are two groups which are like this.

Country-Clan Groups
Not to be confused with war groups, these are also war groups, however they also build cities along with their bases to simulate a "virtual country". A well-known country-clan group is "[USA] United States of America", which is also the 6th largest group on ROBLOX.

Some Country-Clan groups own group subsidiaries. These are, but not limited to: Cabinet groups (eg. Department of Defense), Airline groups, City groups, and Food/Coffee groups.

Roleplay Groups
Roleplay groups are groups made for roleplaying in whatever theme and setting. These groups often have problems with people who do not play by their theme and settings, similarily to roleplay places.

Magazine Groups
Magazine groups make magazine tools that builders can insert in their place. These magazines have topics regarding ROBLOX events, gear and place reviews, and interviews with other players. A known magazine group is RoGo.

Trading Groups
Tradings groups is where people  talk and trade in the commentary section of the group. Such groups might host a trade event or have personal servers dedicated to tradings. A notable trading group is Trade.

Airline Groups
Airline groups are similar to roleplay groups. They hold flights at airport places, where passengers will board, the plane takes off, and lands at another airport. Airline groups existed as early as 2006, Airlines with flyable planes began in 2007-2008, and the first airlines using the Groups feature were in late 2009.

Most of the aircraft used by airlines are powered by Crazyman32 's Plane Kit, and a set of free aircraft using the plane kit are made by yrreb (yrrebRBLX).

Airline groups are controvorsial with War groups due to some people of the War group community making terrorism jokes (eg. 9/11) on the C&G Forum when airline topics are talked about there.

Sports Groups
Sports groups hold events at large sport stadium places, where two teams will play against each other. What game they play varies. This includes Basketball, American football, Soccer, Tennis, Swimming, and other kinds of sports.

Protest Groups
One of the most controvorsial types of groups. These groups are usually made by users protesting updates or certain things, like controvorsial users, or controvorsial updates. Usually, these groups get deleted by moderators since it's against the rules. (eg. Price Floor, BC-Only features)

Food/Coffee Groups
These types of groups are roleplayers. They come to their Food or Coffee places to have fun or relax, sometimes roleplay. This turned from a subtle fad to a huge genre. Groups of these genre include Chicken Express which is the first success of chicken selling treats to ROBLOX.

Pro/Anti Guests Groups
Pro and Anti Guest Groups are Groups for protest that say whether they support Newbies or Guests, or hate them and want to eliminate them all. The largest of these groups is about 1000 members, and supports Guests and Newbies.
