sometimes i visit the site once a month but feel like it's lacking charm and an incentive to come back like finobe. does it need more players?
more developers making original places instead of ports?
clients that are more authentic and less modified? a more engaged and lovable admin team?
newer/younger members are free to reply but i care more about opinions from ORC veterans
- more games that aren't reuploaded (basically more original stuff)
- faster moderation since its a bit slow at certain times (when approving photos/shirts)
as someone who has been on this site since 2021 (original account was deleted) i could probably make a big reply detailing why i dont think this site is good but truthfully thats not gonna matter in the end so i'll just say it: Austiblox is really bad. Like everything about it is horrible. Infact id say its getting worse since they've started removing features
also more players, 23,000 registered users but barely anybody online at any point in the day- nicer playerbaseshirts/clothing in general is bugged atm, heard it from spooky- more games that aren't reuploaded (basically more original stuff)
- faster moderation since its a bit slow at certain times (when approving photos/shirts)
I think the problem is that the pool of people who experienced old Roblox or old revivals has pretty much died out as they've moved on with life or onto new projects. They had a reason to stay, as they actually experienced old Roblox and enjoy the quirks of the older clients, even preferring to develop on old clients instead. They cherish the old and despise a lot of things that new Roblox stands for. The issue is that most of them have left in droves due to repeated "allegations" within the ORC or the fact that they're in their 20s now and their life situation has drastically changed. They've experienced all the drama that the ORC has to offer, and decided it's time to retire from this community.
The newer players are fodder. They are attracted to this because of novelty or some retro Roblox game like Forsaken and will move on far quicker when this novelty wears off. They don't have a true connection to old Roblox. They just like the aesthetic and will do something else with their time after their 3 days on here, when they realize that old Roblox games weren't inherently as interesting as modern Roblox games.
It's pretty tragic for Austiblox, as it exists in a post-golden era of pre-2015 revivals.
Here's my take in regards to why more players is not actually sustainable.all good takes, especially the forsaken one LOL ive seen it a lot in block tales players too. really a shame but i try to introduce friends to the magic of it, im also around the same age as you
