Age Up

Age up is a group of planned changes (as of July 3, 2012), that includes more freedom for users who are 13 years or older. Shedletsky's original forum post is here. The update focuses mainly on the older players who would play on Roblox and the segregation of young players away from the older players. Despite controversy among many Roblox users regarding the update and age restrictions, there is much support by many users for some of the updates that are aimed for older players, such as advanced Role Playing Games, Call of Duty fanboy market, and other updates that are provided and aimed for users who are 13 years or older. Other possible additions include improvents in gameplay, such as the ability to import other sounds and music and better ease of use on scripting, and segregation between young and old users. So far, as of July 3, 2012, the genres, FPS and RPG have already been added, possibly being associated with the update. Scary was renamed to Horror in possible association with the update. War was also renamed to Military. A group that supports this update can be found here. Also, users, if creating an account, can attempt to set their birthdate so that they can be seen as being 13 years or older, therefore the update can be rather annoying, as users who are actually 12 years or under can fabricate a 13+ account so that they can receive the benefits that users 13 years or older would normally get while being actually below the age at the same time.
