Changes: Free account

Revision as of 09:08, 25 August 2016

Free users are players on ROBLOX that do not have Builders Club. The majority of users on ROBLOX are playing for free. Among most ROBLOX users, these users are known as "NBC" (Non-Builders Club). You can still play most games without having a free account, or an account at all, via being a Guest user. Because of the lack of an official icon for NBC, some users create unofficial ones.

Limitations

The free user is severely limited on privileges. Here are the restrictions:

Only 1 active place slot
Unable to create shirts and pants
Unable to buy certain items in the catalog
Unable to use "BC Beta Features"
Unable to use the Trading System.
Unable to create groups, but can be a member of up to 5 groups.
Watch outside ads in the website and a commercial before playing a game.
No daily login reward
90% tax when selling items

Despite these limitations, there is still much a Free User can enjoy on ROBLOX.

Notes

Former Builders Club members can have a maximum of 5 active place slots (not to be confused with places).
Many free accounts are Alternate Accounts. These accounts are often created to allow a person to have multiple places active without purchasing a Builders Club membership.

Criticism

Many people have criticized free accounts for having "unfair" and "degrading" benefits compared to those with Builders Club. This includes 1 place only, no daily ROBUX, BC Only features such as hats and places (which pressure some to purchase Builders Club) and other limitations.

However, a strong argument can be made that Builders Club features are necessary to bring new customers, without Builders Club members, ROBLOX has little or no income. Plus Builder Club is just an edition. It wouldn't affect the gameplay.
