Changes: Community:R0cu

Revision as of 09:54, 2 July 2018

r0cu is a player on Roblox that won the one-of-a-kind Dominus Venari from the Ready Player One event. Prior to this, he was not well-known outside of groups dedicated to 'bhopping' and 'surfing'.

Controversy

r0cu was subjected to scrutiny after winning the first copy of the Golden Wings of the Pathfinder, as it was found that many players who had completed the quiz successfully before him were presented with an error that prevented them from advancing and stuck them in place until they closed the window. This bug was soon fixed by Ravenshield (the creator of the obby), however he did not shut down the obby's servers after the fix so ultimately no one knew the bug had been fixed. Thus, it was a matter of who was lucky enough to complete the quiz first without knowing about the fix.

A while after he received the Dominus, many hate accounts named after him started appearing in search results for his name, such as 'r0cuGoDie' and 'r0cuisahacker'. There were even some that claimed to have leaked some of his personal information, and this was likely what prompted Roblox to delete the majority of accounts named after r0cu so they would not show up when his name was searched in Players.

Finally, some YouTubers added fuel to the fire by telling their audiences that r0cu was not the true winner of the Dominus, however this was mostly so that they could take advantage of the event being a hot topic to rack up video views and subsequently ad revenue.
