ROBLOXia Today has recently relaunched and I hope that the site can be as popular as it once was. A key part in this vision is that there is good quality content going live on the site at least once per day. Unfortunately I won't have the time to do this and so I'm looking for a few ROBLOXians to apply.
I'm looking for:
- Hat Reviewer
- Event Writer (writing about events on ROBLOX and gifts etc)
If you want to apply to these posts and have a blogger account them message me on twitter @MasterDanielRBX

Game Review: Hallows Eve 2014
Hallows Eve 2014 is finally here, and with the disappointment of last year there is a lot to improve upon. Last years "Biggest Map Ever" proved to be a flop and was. Here I'll be doing a review of the Halloween event.
Idea: 9/10
This is a fun, original idea, and although it uses maps from popular roblox places and some people have noticed that the games idea, which is to defend a cauldron, is similar to Guest Defence. The game though is eerie and the idea of playing through the rounds, fighting different foes and collecting badges and hats is both original and very rewarding.
Gameplay: 7/10
This game provides a fair amount of progression and the main thing that will ensure that people come back often is the badges to collect and the hats that come with them. However the game is quiet repetitive. Defeat the mobs, make sure they don't reach the cauldron, repeat. There is some good variety with the types of mobs that attack you and the scenery but there isn't a massive amount of either and you end up playing the same mobs on the same levels every few rounds.
Atmosphere: 7/10
This game is supposed to be scary, it is Halloween after all, and chiefjustus told us time and time again that it would be scary. It doesn't really live up to all of the hype though. The atmosphere that is created is eerie and spooky but not scary. The music in the game is good and adds to the feel of the place, as does the excellent use of dynamic lighting.
Environment: 6/10
The environments in the game are basically rehashed versions of other games and whilst this provides a nice continuity of the games across the site, it quickly gets boring. Apocalypse Rising, Natural Disaster Survival, Pizza Place, Crossroads, Haunted House and a new map called Bloxburg are featured in the game. The environment here just isn't as inspiring and could definitely be improved.
Enjoyment: 7/10
Despite some flaws with the environment, this game has a good atmosphere and nice progression. It isn't the best game on ROBLOX, not by a long shot, but it is enjoyable to play and thats important. Compared to the slog that was The Witching Hour, this game is a breath of fresh air which will be getting a tonne more plays this year.
Overall Score: 7.6/10
ROBLOXia Today is back!
I really enjoyed writing these articles in the few months that this site was active. We saw thousands of pageviews and it was really exciting to see all your feedback. Sadly I had to leave ROBLOXia Today due to school commitments. Whilst these have increased further, I'd like a dedicated team of writers to be updating this blog as much as possible, and make it the number 1 destination for all your ROBLOX news and reviews!
Cya'll later!

Cash in now! High trade currency rates!
Hello guys! If you are looking to make a few robux or tix, head over to the currency exchange now. The rates are really high. Buy some tix and when the rates fall again trade them back for Robux and you will make some great profit! Also, Road to 100K will be a weekly roundup from now on as I am too busy to do it daily, and Im not trading a lot at the moment either.

Road to 100K: Week 2, Day 3
Yesterday I couldn't make many trades and I couldn't write the post because I wasn't able to access the internet. However today I am back and I am going to discuss a topic of interest today: Recent Average Prices.
Recent Average Prices (Part 1)
Recent Average Prices is the price that shows you how much a Limited Item is worth in the trading window. It updates quite often and can leave you with a higher priced or lower priced item over time. This can obviously be good or bad. I have done only two trades in the last two days for very small profits and so today, if the R$ total has shot up, or gone down; it will most likely be to do with the RAP.
The RAP of this item has gone up considerably. I traded it last week when its RAP was around 120R$. That was a bad trade and you should really look at the two key figures below:
Firstly, the top line tells you the Recent Average Price, 305R$. The line at the bottom tells you the average price in the last 30 days. It is 221R$, but more importantly, it has increased by 38%. This means that it is a good buy and the RAP is likely to increase because the 30 day average will be pushing up the RAP.
In Part 2: I discuss how else to find a good limited using the graphs and statistics above. And how selling your item before its RAP falls is a good idea - and when to know to sell it.
So in the last two days, my total has reached:
32,524 R$
Oh No! Its fallen by 1260R$! I think that this is down to the dip in price of the Green Flash Shades and Eyes of Everfrost which is now just 3978R$ when it was over 5000R$ before!
See you tomorrow! Looks like I'll need to trade some more and get my RAP higher!
Server Spotlight: Mountain Crater
This is the thumbnail for the place and it is really cool and dynamic. It is in a good location and shows the most up to date image of the town. That makes it a cool thumbnail. The town features the biggest Wiring University in ROBLOX and a University called the MCU. The town contains all the facilities you'd expect; shops, hotels, housing, hospitals and schools.
What I really like about the game is the virtual economy, players in the game build up cash slowly over time, or by completing jobs for others. It encourages people to work for money and shows them an insight into what the real world it like.
However, tools are hard to come by in this server which is targeted often by griefers. The games received 1,694 visits since it was created and has been often seen with almost full servers of 30 people. Tools are hard to come by and people who ask put themselves at risk of a ban.
Pros:
- Good looking place with some nice terrain features and buildings to keep people interested.
- There is minimal griefing, but at the expense of free tools
- There is an ingame economy
- There is very little lag
- Hospitals and other community buildings are good for role-playing
Cons:
- Tools aren't given out very often
- There are high brick counts
Overall
This is a nice server that many people will enjoy, if they get tools. However it is still quite enjoyable roleplaying with other players in the schools and hospitals.
Thats it for this edition of Server Spotlight, I hope more are to come! Maybe I will be visiting your personal server next!

Brand New Catalog Launches
Some people have had the new catalog for some time, but for others this is their first sight of the new catalog.
You can also sort items really easily. I wanted to find some Social Items and I could do it in a few quick clicks. Also, I wanted to find some forest items for my character. I searched for it in the box.
This is the brand new catalog and I think that it looks quite slick and nice. It is a much updated UI and fits the new style that had steadily made its way across the site.
As you can see forest items appeared. In fact, items that didn't even include the word forest came up, but they were relevant, like the Green Guardia helm and the Woodland Knight, which says Woodland instead of Forest.
I think that this new catalog is a good improvement to ROBLOX. It looks much more modern, like other pages across the site.
