5 years ago, Roblox canceled Events to make way for one of their worst updates ever: Live-Ops / Developer Events / This Week on Roblox. The Classic, The Hunt, Egg Hunts, and many other events would've never happened if this update wasn't removed.

    seeing roblox rn is like coming back to your childhood home to see it replaced with a burger king
  • @RBXMrKid
    I'm getting mixed signals about roblox. 1 good update - 2 bad update and cycle repeats
  • @Sonictheoofhog4
    Roblox is like watching something slowly die and rot, yet it is still alive
  • Them adding Toilet Tower Defense to the Classic event literally felt like insult to the Older Robloxians 😭😭😭
  • @EpicSword28
    I like that Roblox is at least trying, but honestly the current events are just random games with a random "theme" slapped onto them. At least it's better than Live-Ops.
  • @Skrubscribble
    It's much more fun finding Alvin and the Chipmunks just to get free hats in Roblox High School instead of playing a random game that you won't be coming back ever again.
  • @MykezStylez
    Yeah I don’t have hopes for the Classic event. I checked the list of confirmed games for the event and literally none of them are classic, Toilet Tower Defense will be in the event. Come on roblox! Atleast include actually classic games like Work at a Pizza Place. This is some "so retro" ass crap.
  • @InfinitySevens
    Been around since 2010 and I actually have zero expectations for The Classic to be worthwhile, especially since it's already looking to be the Roblox equivalent of the "SO RETRO" meme. You'd think an event like this would specifically pander to folks like myself who joined prior to 2015 or so, but frankly it seems more like key jangling for folks who glamourize old Roblox yet joined after 2019.

    Now that I think about it, live-ops were just a disjointed version of dev hunts
  • @5_birds
    Hearing "Live-Ops" after 5 years gave me PTSD
  • @arson7012
    I was thinking about how many original classic games are either dead or broken by updates, and ways that roblox could still make an event that gets off the idea of classic roblox. Because, really, they don't actually have to add the original classic games. There are plenty of game formulas that still work today, even if the original is long gone. Some ideas I had: - Obbys, tycoons, elevators, robloxia, paper rp, dodgeball, speeding wall, speedrun, cart rides, boat/plane builders, paintball, swordfighting, sandboxes, build to survive, just to name a few game types they could use. - Make sure the games have simple gameplay, no flashing icons begging for you to buy a gamepass, no popups, just game. - Feature some old roblox emulators like retrostudio or classicblox - Contact some of the creators of old classic games to see if they'd be willing to update (or get help updating) depreciated code and feature their games - Fuck it, pizza place, disaster survival, and apocalypse rising are still up and kicking, add them! - Literally just don't feature a skibidi toilet game in their roster

    Please Roblox…make the wait worth it for all of us.
  • @skeleton819

  • @w0bgo
    as a person that became a self aware roblox player in 2021 i can confirm old egghunts was very fun
  • @shiddlestick
    Roblox and DC fighting to see who can disappoint fans and ruin their reputation quicker
  • @Fires_Stuff
    Honestly, Live-Ops could have been a really good feature in addition to normal events. I know many people, including me, have trouble finding new games to play, and this could have been what we really needed.
  • @misternov325bn5
    I made up this phrase about 2 weeks ago, We don't need the old Roblox, we need Roblox to really listen to us and interact with us like it did in the old Roblox
  • @Stupidsharkie
    I’ve been playing for seven years and I was too lazy to do the 2018-19 hunts for some reason lol
