  1. MOVE IT TO SAGINAW, MICHIGAN. WE NEVER GET TO DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  2. First: if RGC would leave Santa Clara: they aren’t coming to any small towns and states like Ohio or Georgia. They would like have it in Chicago, New York, Orlando, Forth Worth or a bigger city in California.
    airfare WAS the only problem we had this year: airlines are being cheap and money hungry, while ROBLOX is trying to have an event at one of the most expensive airports out there… Anyway: good luck today guys. :)

    • Yeah, they could go to Georgia… Atlanta is large, not some small town. Atlanta actually has the busiest airport in the world. (unless that has changed)

  4. so excited, we have had tickets since April , so glad its 30 mins from my place.
    Very cool event last year, I am sure it will be just as fun this year.

  5. please!!!!!! do the roblox conference in Canada in next year please!!!!!!!

  8. 2 things there should be a live camera so that people who can’t go can still watch it and secondly “Creating and Selling Models” so much for free models, but I like the sound of “Demo – Inserting and Searching for Models in Studio” it could mean a return of insert service (I hope). §

  12. Roblox should be traveling every year. A lot of people agree MAKE IT IN THE EAST. In-fact 2/3rds of roblox players live in the east… -_- So either do 2 conferences (maybe 3 like one in Europe) or every year make it somewhere else… Not everyone can fly out and spend 2000$…

  14. No it does not mean making them come to life. It means that we can sell are modles

  15. I’m going but i signed in with a different e-mail… And I’ll know how to get rich !!!!!!!!

  17. 0_0 Does anyone see where it sais “Talk to the devs that are bringing catalog items to life” Does that mean real life items!!!

  20. I don’t see the point of going cause you will eventualy find out the new features later on. And for paying 10$ a person oh and By the way I don’t like in california I live to the east. So yes. 1.Airplane 2.Hotel 3.10$ A person. So please next time make it closer to the east.

  23. I really am pretty exited to learn what roblox will be like in 2020, but I cant go… :(

  24. ROBLOX,’06 -Best of All. ROBLOX,’07 -Hats made everything awesome. ROBLOX,’08 -normal BC and clothes. ROBLOX,’09 -More BC Options, seriously? And online daters started happening in ’09. ROBLOX,’10 -Alot of packages and overflow of guest’s. ROBLOX,’11 -Way too many updates, some user’s left/quit ROBLOX. ROBLOX, January ’12 -Was ok, 1x1x1x1 returned. ROBLOX,’12. A little less updates. ROBLOX future,’12 -New bodies, physics, gameplay, trading system, and a little more users leave ROBLOX. ROBLOX,’20 -Nearly 500 user’s playing. ROBLOX,’21 -ROBLOX goes downhill and gives up. Then we end up playing boring games such as Club penguin, etc.

  25. now i REALLY want to go .-. I MEAN THEY TEACH YOU HOW TO GET FILTHY RICH ON ROBLOX >:O! and that virtual sword is beast .-.

  26. Hope they film the events that would improve the building community and post it on their Youtube channel, it could really help the community become better builders.

  28. Howdy! Someone in my Facebook group shared this website with us so I
    came to look it over. I’m definitely loving the information. I’m book-marking and will be tweeting this to my followers! Wonderful blog and excellent style and design.
    Here is my page … more info

  29. As most, I wish I could go. Learning about this kind of stuff really suits me.

  30. This is going to be pretty cool… if your going too please pm maybe we can meetup or something!

  31. Wow, seems fun. My mom thinks its going to be a bunch of nerds talking about ROBLOX all day .-. I told her, “no,no,no its going to fun.” I’m glad I get to do is stuff and she letting me bring my laptop :D

  32. If I could go to the user feedback, I would complain about the lack of terrain control through scripting, and them not trying to fix the DLL exploits.

  33. This is pretty cool. I can’t make it this year, but I can next year. Do this again and you’ll get a lot more participants!

  34. Will the Wardobe be out after this event?
    The universes maybe to?
    New bodies to?
    Maybe the tradeing thing.

  35. Since I cannot go, I am going to put out a suggestion and two questions right now. First the suggestion, how about being able to sell models using a special new class of scripts. The scripts will have to have credit claimed in order to be opened or even be seen in the explorer. This script type can only be saved in a model by the owner, but can be saved in any game by anyone who has purchased it. Now for the questions, first when will the GetGroupRank or IsGroupRank method come out? Finally, when will the new particles and particle features come out such as new events, properties, etc?

  37. Ways to get to the RGC….
    Walking – X (I would lose 20 pounds.)
    Biking – X (I could do it but it would take 33 days STRAIGHT!)
    Plane – X (Too poor…)
    Teleporter – ? (Working on. May release to public.)

  38. Tell you what Roblox,we can use the ‘pro tips’ you’ll show us when we dont have to worry about people STEALING YOUR HARD EARNED WORK,AND GETTING RICH OFF IT.

    In General: Patch.The.Exploit (Insert DLL)
