I’ve searched around, but I couldn’t find a definitive answer for this anywhere. Does anyone with a game earning payouts know if time spent by Premium players in private servers still contributes to your payouts?
Sorry in advance if this is the wrong section to ask this. XP
EDIT: I just remembered that paid access games don’t allow payouts. Does anyone know if making private servers paid affects if payouts are earned or not as well?
From what I have experienced you actually do get XP from premium payouts. I searched a bit around for you but couldn’t find any official statements about this. But based on my own stats I think you still get premium payouts in a private server.
I believe they do because I owned a Private Server and I got paid like 5 or 6 robux, however that could’ve been from a game.
Now if it’s a free private server, maybe roblox won’t allow it. But maybe test it
Sorry for not replying to you guys sooner, I got distracted by other things.
So it seems like they most likely that they do contribute to premium payouts, which is great.
I still want to know for 100% certain just to be safe though. I don’t know anyone well enough to have them test my game for an hour plus, so I’m going to contact support and hope (
) they can tell me how their system works.
When I get a reply back I’ll update this post. :)
EDIT (after 5 days): Literally Roblox support has given me nothing but automated replies after four emails. Each reply has been from a different support rep for some ungodly reason and everyone has only forwarded me to help articles already read before making this DevForum post.
I don’t know what the hell is going on with Roblox’s support, because this is literally the most useless digital support I have ever experienced. I will try replying at least once or twice more, but I might not get the answer I’m looking for. :v
I finally got an actual, relevant response to my question - or at least I think it was - idk you can be the judge:
Hello there,
We’re sorry but we’re unable to provide you with any further information or response regarding this inquiry. We encourage you to review the previous information sent to you as we have provided you with all that we can at this time.
However, if you need further assistance with a different matter, please don’t hesitate to let us know using our support form.
At least this person was honest, but it’s not a good look for Roblox support to be unable to answer basic and benign public policy questions about their own platform.
Like what is even the point of support if they can’t tell you anything not already in an FAQ? Did they not realize that there would be un-frequently asked questions they’d need to address?
If anyone else has additional anecdotal experiences (or insider knowledge) :333 with Premium Payouts in private servers, that would be much appreciated.
In my experience, you Do earn premium payouts from private servers. Do note that my game had free vip servers
