Allow creators to have Private Servers for free

Why isn’t this already a thing?
Only other way I see this being possible is by making a new Server trough script and putting a filter to it, it’s currently teh only way I can think of

It would be great for the debugging vip only features

I would be so happy to be able to create private servers for free for me for some of my testing purposes. I would also really like to be able to have private servers to host events on specifically. Having to pay 100 Robux every month for a private server on my own game just feels wrong.

Creators should be able to get everything in their game for free that involves robux tbh.

i never understood this logic at all. ngl roblox should make it for creators always free.
Its odd how devs have to pay for their own in-game posessions

gamepasses, devproducts, and vip servers should be free for the owner outside of studio, if a group game can be a new permission

As an asset that sits in a players inventory, Private Servers:

  • allow for unique or more customized experiences
  • provides live testing environments with controlled participation
  • add another avenue for progress acceleration if other players can pose a hinderance
  • addition revenue stream for the development team

Blanket Free Price:

  • lowers barrier for controlled social activities in relevant games, etc.
  • removes a revenue stream from a game

Reward ownership of Private Server to players:

  • increased reward opportunities for developer
  • greater engagement (complete game/achievement → get server)
  • a tangible reward that exists beyond game (badges) but has a function and allows for above social benefits
  • maintain a higher price/threshold for buying, allowing revenue from pay-to-win players and not leaving out the grinders. likely increasing overall revenue
  • allow developers the ability to provide contributors access to private servers at no cost.

Just an idea.

Applicable to other assets that have value generated by developers: gamepasses, UGC, badges(exists already), heck you could revamp places with some tweaks and probably make that work too. But servers as an often free and unfocused asset, is a good start :slight_smile:

How is this still not a thing?

This should’ve already been a thing, it’s needed for developers to be able to have THEIR OWN ITEMS for free and not have to pay a tax.
