Group Name Change is now available

Why is the price for group renaming cheap? Renaming your username costs 1k and groups are only 100.

My main concern is renaming a existing group with thousands of members. You can go into a new genre and dominate that area. An example are ro-nations, military groups, etc. The pricing should be dynamic and scales with how many members there are in a group to prevent that.

Most likely because groups themselves only cost 100, while changing your username can be as high as Roblox wants, because it is incredibly important to some.

Thatā€™s why the notification gets sent out, users that donā€™t support your new brand can just leave.

That doesnā€™t prevent that renamed group dominating a new genre.

No bro, it shouldnā€™t be with how much members there are in the group - thatā€™d make roblox seem greedy and unfair since just because a group has a lot of members does not mean they have a lot of robux as their games may not be monetised as well as their game just being lucky to have lots of visits which led people to change the roblox group via social links.

And what is the problem with that, theoretically a group can dominate multiple genres even without a group rename.

My problem is with illegitimate/bot accounts in a group and for that owner to easily rename just makes them selling the group easier.

You canā€™t change the group name until 90 days after a owner transfer which would likely be long enough for support to lock the group.

Swag, thanks!

New problem: My name is taken by a closed group.

I updated my reply using this informaiton.

oh yeah i agree the group is handle many people but if you change 1 people username it cost 1k robux

Another issue with group renaming is also Roblox accepts nonstandard text for renaming. Like the Russian keyboard has:

Š¢, Šœ, с, Š’, р, х, Š¾

That look identical to normal letters; there are also other letters that Roblox accepts for renaming. You can just rename an existing group and then utterly dominate competition unfairly.

I donā€™t get why you see outreaching or rebranding as a bad thing. The point of being able to rename a group is so that this can be possible.

If this is your concern, price shouldnā€™t matter. Development groups that are capable of ā€œdominating a genreā€ already have the means, and funding, to do so.

Another group feature request which frankly shouldā€™ve been added a long time ago and is desperately needed is the option to set payout %'s on a per game basis instead of a per group basis.

Currently each time you get someone new involved in a project you have to make an entire new group because otherwise youā€™d be paying a % of other (linked to the group) gamesā€™ earnings as well. It is incredibly frustrating to have to constantly make new groups for each and every project just because you canā€™t set a payout % on a per-game basis.

It is just outrageous that we have to grow an entire new group/community every, single, project for the sake of being able to distribute payouts fairly. I want to grow one large community. Not 50 small ones.

Sorry if I sound a little agitated, itā€™s been bothering me for a while.

Estamos Extremamente Feliz por isso,por uma nova maneira de arrumar grupos, caso alguns cometam erro ao fazer um Nome no Grupo ou alterar para um nome melhorā€¦

mas tenho uma pergunta. TerĆ” como copiar Nome de Grupos maiores Exemplo Grupos de Youtubers?

Caso tenha. espero que resolva issoā€¦
Caso nĆ£o tenha, estarei contente desse update. :grinning:

Obrigado Pela atenĆ§Ć£o :+1:

This option is a great idea but for the price of 100 robux? we could create a new group for that price with the new name.

This is also possible with just creating a new group tooā€¦

This seems a little low. What happens if I want to revert my group name change, but somebody takes the name just before I can do it? Thereā€™s a very short window for me to be able to revert.

They should do it like the usernames where only that person can use the original name/s

This update is excellent and wise! Thereā€™s a chance for people to change their names if they misspelled or actually would like a new name.

Why are we not allowed to change the capitalization of a group name we already own like we can with usernames? Iā€™ve excitedly waited over a year for this feature to be released only to find out I canā€™t change the letter P in my groupā€™s name to a lowercase P.
