User blog:Thundermaker300/Clearing up the new events system

Recently, Roblox made an announcement regarding events on the Roblox platform. For those who have not read it, the post can be found here. Basically, Roblox is replacing monthly events with a new system called live-ops, which allows developers to be on the live-ops section of the front page for 24 hours. Roblox will not be providing catalog items for these events, and developers are recommended to make their own in-game items for these events. There's been a lot of confusion and false information about this new update spreading on the wiki, which is why I'm going to make this as clear as possible.

Roblox is NOT REPLACING YEARLY EVENTS, such as egg hunts, hallow's eve, etc. These events will remain. Only monthly events such as Powers are being replaced.

The most controversy comes from this line in the post: "We encourage you to add in-game prizes as part of your Live-Ops event. Roblox is unable to provide catalog prizes for these community driven events."

This means that in-game prizes are not being awarded for the new live-ops system. However, prizes will still be awarded for yearly events. However, Roblox may be doing more monthly sponsors like Nike Air and WrestleMania to provide new and temporary items for F2P users (we do not know). This has caused a lot of confusion on the wiki, and I thought I would clear it up.

Remember, us wiki staff are not employees. Anything stated above can change at any time.
