Hey everyone,
I work for a game that has been recently taken down by Roblox. I was wondering if there is a way to transfer old data stores from the original game up to a new one. Keep in mind that the game was very big, with at least 20k people who have a inventory in-game. (at least 9 million items)
I don’t know if I did the right thing to put it in scripting support category, tell me if so
Any help would be appreciated
Depends.
Technically, if you use a proxy you can request data using the opencloud API to get the player’s data from the original place and transfer it to the new one.
However, I’m not sure how well it works when the game has been taken down by Roblox.
Something that JTOH did:
When a user joined the new experience in JTOH for the first time, the game asked if they wanted to retrieve their old data from the previous game. If the user agreed, they were prompted to join the old experience. The game then used TeleportService to teleport the player back to the main game with their data attached.
Game example.
: ( ✦ ) [MIGRATED] Juke’s Towers of Hell - Roblox
Not applicable in this case, as the original game was taken down by Roblox hence you can’t teleport anyone.
Ah yes, I need to improve my reading skills, my bad.
Yep, I don’t think it’s possible if the game is taken down.
I did some quick searching online, sadly it is not possible to retrieve data from an old game which got taken down by roblox.
Only real thing u could consider doing is contacting roblox support and asking them about it.
Next time u could try using an Third-Party Database to store backup data there.
Do you know any third party databases that are free or low cost?
I’ve heard of something called Firebase which I’m pretty sure is open source. I’ll leave a link to the topic that mentions it
